Rforce / Wireless Charger + External Battery
Rftech
Rforce is a handheld device that integrates wireless charging with a secondary battery. The key was maintaining simplicity while combining these two elements, ensuring that each feature could be viewed as a separate product in operation.
Keeping it simple
This product is designed to be smoothly shaped for easy fit into a bag when used as a battery. During wireless charging, certain parts can be adjusted to safely support the smartphone at an appropriate angle.
The exterior has a universal, rounded battery shape, adding value to the product. Since the core function is “wireless charging,” we believed this familiar battery shape would make it more comfortable for users to carry while fulfilling its charging purpose.
Effective structure
We needed to design the parts for wireless charging while keeping the secondary battery’s geometry simple. This included a smartphone stand and a 45-degree slope stand. We had to ensure the smartphone could fit in three positions: lying flat, horizontally, and vertically at 45 degrees.
The smartphone stand was our biggest concern, as it took up significant space when rotating and could protrude from the exterior. To address this, we adopted rounded corners for the exterior.
