Built right into the case.

Useful for when you are in the wilderness or inside the Earth where you have no signal anyway. But, Candy Crush must be played.

    That's cool but 5 min. of cranking would feel like eternity.

    • That is a lotta hand crankin'.

      Gotta figure there are mebbe some exercises people can do to build up strength in their arms.

      Sumthin' repetitive an' ballistic.

      But it is a cool idea, even for places with signal an' sockets.

      I am always low on charge at inconvenient moments, an' my hand action is pretty sophisticated.

      Figure I could get anythin' started in 5 minutes.

        Be a bummer if you cranked it up and then found there was no signal in the area...

        How spoiled are we that we think turning a small handle around for 5 minutes is too much to ask if we are without power and want to talk to someone miles - or hundreds of miles - away.

    It makes the phone way too big, especially for a crank that should not be needed often. They make cases with a built in battery that are smaller than that. The built in battery will double or triple your talk time, so you should be good with that and never have to crank it.

    I have one of those hand crank LED flashlights & it's pretty much junk. The flashlight doesn't hold a charge, I have to keep cranking for light, lol.

    They should make it a shake motion and sell it with a wrist strap.
    As much jerkin off as people do around here, they'd melt the batteries.
