The finished product delivers up to three full charging cycles while maintaining a compact form factor and premium felt-like appearance.
The Result
- Integrated battery capable of delivering up to three full charges
- Compact and portable design suitable for everyday carry
- Premium soft-touch finish aligned with the product’s market positioning
- Faster development through a single supplier managing electronics and engineered soft goods integration
Challenges
- The customer needed a charging solution that combined advanced electronics with a refined user experience.
- Simultaneous charging for smart glasses and a gesture-control ring
- The case had to integrate USB-C charging circuitry, LED charge indicators, Multi-device battery pack inside a portable soft-touch case
Why OSM
Projects that combine electronics and engineered soft goods are often split between multiple suppliers.
OSM served as a single development and manufacturing partner, bringing together expertise across:
- Circuit design
- Battery management
- Engineered Soft Goods Construction
- Product Development
- Manufacturing
This allowed the customer to develop the charging case through one supplier rather than separate electronics and textile vendors, enabling faster design iterations and tighter control of charging-contact alignment within the premium felt-like enclosure.
