With CES around the corner I'm looking forward to some new portable power battery packs for my EDC. Paick is going to introduce this fancy slim battery pack, which is actually available for sale right now for $39.99!

It has no buttons because its touch sensor based, plus the ports are hidden till you release them as shown in the picture. While I haven't had any problems with exposed USB ports with my portable battery packs, I can see how it would be beneficial to the person who is always outdoors.

$39.99 special right now is a good deal for something this slim, but I have doubts as to its ability to fully charge my iPad 3rd gen. Guess someone (maybe me) will have to try it and find out.

Press release here.
