It’s all about staying connected these days, which is why it’s always nice to discover something that will charge our smartphones while we’re on the go. After all, who has time to sit and wait for that little battery icon to fill up? You already carry a purse, right, ladies? Why not let it charge your phone while you live your life?

Everpurse is another one of those items that began life as a dream on Kickstarter; a dream that many said they wanted to become reality, which is why the smartphone-charging purse is now something that really exists. You demanded it, people, and they listened.

The purse makes charging about as simple as it can be. A patent-pending docking system guides your phone smoothly onto the dock connector at the bottom of the purse, eliminating the need for any wires, and charging the purse itself is easy-peasy because all you have to do is toss it on the charging mat. Again, no wires to deal with, thanks to inductive charging. Unfortunately, wires aren’t completely eliminated from your life because the mat has to be plugged in.

The size of the purse might leave a lot to be desired but an easy solution is to just slide the Everpurse into your larger purse. That way, size is no longer an issue, the phone is still charging, and you don’t have to worry about your phone ending up at the bottom of your purse, buried under everything.

The Everpurse, which supports iPhone 4/4s, iPhone 5/5s/5c, and Galaxy S3/S4, can be purchased for $189 to $279, depending on the style you choose.
