How to Make a Solar Charging Phone Case

Get the solar panel. A solar panel that produces 4-5 volts and one -two watts, hard plastic phone case, epoxy, hinge that fits on the back of the phone case, solder and soldering iron, PlastiDip dip in spray bottle, charging cable for the phone

Cut the Charging cable about 8in away from the plug into the phone.

Strip back the outer layer of insulation and the insulation on the red and black wires because they are the ones that carry electricity.

Plug the cord into the phone and hold the wires on the other end of the cord to the corresponding ones on the solar panel.

Attach the solar panel. Glue onto the back of the case. The phone camera might not be usable and the phone can't be used easily when charging. To fix this glue the hinge onto the backs of the solar panel and onto the back of the phone case. When the hinge is open the solar panel should be next to the phone.

Cover the front of the solar panel with tape, and tape over the wires. Lay the case down in a box. Following directions on the can spray the entire phone case with PlastiDip. After 2-3 hours put on another coat. After 3-4 coats it should be a good thickness.

Using solder and a soldering iron, solder the wires on the solar panel to the corresponding wires on the charging cable. Use the soldering iron the heat up the wires. then melt the solder onto the hot wires.
