The Xoo belt will hold up your pants – and charge your device

Worried about your pants falling off your hips and your smartphone running out of juice at the same time? I definitely am. That's why it's a good thing the Xoo Belt will soon exist.

What exactly is this Xoo Belt contraption, you ask? To put it quite simply, the Xoo Belt is a traditional belt that also includes integrated and flexible batteries which can charge your smartphone on the go.

Since it includes a micro USB cable for charging, you're not just confined to smartphones provided the device in question includes the appropriate port.

The best part about it is that no one will ever have a clue you're wearing a 2,100mAh battery charger on your hip, because it looks like a belt. It won't make you look like a complete dork either, which is always a plus.

There are a couple of styles available, including one with black leather and another with brown.
