Solar Briefcase

If the backpack isn’t your style, you could always try the solar briefcase.  The briefcase opens to show two panels rated at 13W.  The unit can charge a typical cellphone in about an hour, under peak conditions.  The unit is not light at 11 pounds, but seems pretty sturdy and even has an adjustable kickstand. The unit is currently on sale for $74.95 at Battery Junction.
