Hendricks97, most of us plug our phone into an AC outlet as needed. Not like touring in deepest Africa or Outer Mongollia. All these discussions about solar chargers are mostly just to satisfy our fantasies about being 'independent.' Kinda fun though.

I've never had a problem finding the AC source in restaurants, campgrounds, motels, etc. The op has a wish to keep his 'smart' phone powered up all day. The simplist way to do this is with a rechargable external battery pack.
