Update: Phorce bag users



Great news!

We are shipping he Magsafe cable for the Phorce bag.
Many have already received their order. If not, it's on it's way. If you just need status update please email us.

There are also some who asked if they can just buy the connectors and do it themselves. Here they are.

Finally, there are some who are asking if they can switch to using the Phorce bag with the new Microsoft Surface tablet. You cannot directly power the Surface directly from the Phorce unless you use an car adapter. The Surface requires less power.
That adapter can be found here, but you'll still need to have the phorce connector to Female Cigarette jack. Please check back as we are looking to offer this solution to you.
