iné is born, a new concept in Wallets

NY NOW, NYC, NY- Xoopar introduces a revolutionary concept: iné

Xoopar has surveyed precise Powerbank usage since 2016 driving to a simple conclusion: 63% of users do not have their power banks when they need them. The top reason? Powerbanks have become too heavy and bulky for what people actually accept to carry on them. In the same focus group study, Xoopar identifies the one item users are the most likely to carry with them at all time: their wallet/ cardholder. Hence the idea of merging a Powerbank with a wallet in a single product that makes its the lifesaver it should be in principle, this time, always with you in actuality. This was the inception of iné. Currently, there is simply no such product on the market that is both a thin wallet and a Powerbank, and we believe the spot-on design that makes this product a game-changer will drive customer satisfaction.

Iné uses our industrial know-how to create a gorgeous, ultra-thin product. It is actually the thinnest Powerbank in the world - only 5.5mm, for 3,000 mAH in full aluminum body ( which is more than the capacity of a fully charged iPhone XS, for reference). You will appreciate the USB Type C only connector. Cramming that kind of tech in such thin enclosure has never been done before.

Iné will ship with 3 cables: an MFI-to-
usb type C, USB A-to-USB type C; USB type C-to-USB type C: So it is actually universal. Its single USB type C port allows power in and out.
Another important note: each credit or transit card you place in iné will be nested in a card slot laid internally with a thin anti-RFID protective foil to avoid interference with the magnetic field of the battery and the credit cards and to avoid remote RFID thief.
Iné is heavily patented, there are 4 utility patents attached to this product.  Above and beyond the current SKU’s, there is actually a complete roadmap of iné for 2020 that is going to cover even more customer segments.

Iné is short for "new",  "original" or "unpublished" in French.
