LoopPay debuts charge case for the iPhone 5 family

LoopPay Inc., a mobile wallet platform provider, today announced the availability of the LoopPay ChargeCase, which the company says is world’s first iPhone charge case that enables secure mobile credit card transactions while extending battery life. The ChargeCase is the second product LoopPay has introduced in four months, with several more products planned for market entry this year, according to a press release.

“Consumers have been asking for LoopPay capability in a charge case to extend their highly-integrated mobile lifestyles. We listened closely and are proud to present the first product of its kind in the world, the LoopPay ChargeCase," Will Graylin, CEO of LoopPay, said in a statement. "People will love the ability to pay with their phones at point of sale, especially iPhone users who find themselves in need of a little extra juice to make it through the day. I believe every phone case and charge case should have LoopPay inside, giving consumers the ability to move about their day with a secure digital wallet so that they can leave their physical wallets behind for the first time with confidence.”

The LoopPay ChargeCase is compatible with iPhone 5 and 5s devices and delivers about 60 percent additional power to the standard iPhone battery, according to a press release. Even when the ChargeCase is depleted after transferring charge to extend the phone’s battery, it still has sufficient power to perform more than 100 mobile transactions. To pay with the ChargeCase, consumers can place the back of the case against the swipe slot of the point-of-sale retail terminal and press a button on the side of the ChargeCase.
