Prong is a consumer electronics accessory company based in New York City. The company produces mobile device cases.

Products
The company currently offers two products, PocketPlug and PWR case. PocketPlug began as a Kickstarter campaign to combat notoriously | bad smartphone battery life. It is the first mobile phone case with intergrated A/C charging plugs. The product was launched in March 2012 and was successfully funded raising 130,000 dollars. The PocketPlug charges an iPhone by plugging the case directly into any | American electrical outlet. PocketPlug has come under criticism in that it does not allow for a seamless user experience. The case does not hold a charge so the phone must remain plugged in the outlet. PWR Case was created as a follow-up to the PocketPlug to specifically solve this issue. The product still contains the integrated A/C charging plugs but is accompanied by an external battery that is removable from the case. Since the companies launch, Prong has successfully brought the PocketPlug to market through retailers such as Brookstone, Equinox, and  Staples.
