An iPhone case that comes equipped with a solar cell which soaks up sun juice to charge your iPhone is definitely a great idea. The solar charging case from Brando is just what we’re talking about here which keeps your iPhone juiced up in the green and handy way.
The case provides protection to your iPhone from scratches and smudges. And the most important is while you clip the case on your belt with the iPhone inserted in it, and you’re exposed to sunlights, the case will start collecting sun juice and charging its internal battery, which can be used to power up your iPhone later.
The solar charging case is specially designed to suit both iPhone 2G and 3G. It comes in a flip-top and a side-open design. The case takes 3 hours to get to its full charge while exposed directly to sunlights. Just spend $48.00, get it from Brando, and it’ll be yours, to let you keep your iPhone with sufficient juice always.

I got one of those from Solar Arcadia and is totally dead after the first charge. I’m trying to contact them with no success.
If you google it you will find other comments about the same issue.
