Entry Description

‘BANKANA’ is a banana-shaped power bank that charges your phone whenever needed. This design is inspired by people eating bananas when they are hungry, as bananas are natural energy resources for human and are very portable as well. Just like us, phones get ‘hungry’ too and needs energy backup from time to time. BANKANA can not only charge the phone but also act support the phone while charging as its outermost skin is made from rubber thus provides friction to prevent the phone from sliding down. The green mark on BANKANA indicates where to peel off the wire.
