Ok so I guess I am confused now. The xoo belt looks very refined but at $250 it seems too expensive. Is there a reason you are using some of the design features from the xoo belt? Is it to meet a lower price point? I think the large USB plug on the ionbelt is really the only thing I don't like.

Not sure if it is too late but I wanted to see what your plans are with the belt design. I think it will be really useful since I hate dealing with portable chargers. But I do have some concerns about the battery belt as I was thinking about joining your kickstarter to get one for traveling but there are a few things that bothered me about the design. I figured it can't hurt to ask to see if you are planning to address these issues since you are only in the prototype stage.

I don't like that the belt has a full sized usb port at the end. It looks very thick in the photos and I think it is going to make it very hard to put the belt on. Sometimes just a normal belt can be tight getting through the pant loops. I think this would be horrible after going through the airport with it. The other thing that I noticed in the video that there is a power button near the buckle. It seems like the end of the belt would block the button and lights. I don't like the idea of lights but I would like it to be easier to access the power button since most charges you have to turn on to use.

I do really like the belt for the idea of being comfortable and not having a big battery pack in my pocket at the airport. I really hate dealing with that.

What are your thoughts and plans going forward with the design of the belt? Are these issues you are planning to change anyhow?

The buckle is a neat idea. My only concern is that the finish will probably wear down on the plug part. My usb drives all have wear like that. Not sure if that bothers me though since I wouldn't use the belt every day.

I think it would be better to have the usb port that you plug your charging cable into near where the lights are. That is what I meant in my last post. I think it would be hard to put on with it on the tip of the belt. To me it seems like the connection to charge your phone seems to be a weakness with both belts.

The ceramic battery in the other belt seems like neat tech but I am sure the cost must be too high.
