iPhone case uses phone's OWN SIGNAL to charge it (forever, presumably)

Just... morons. Like the "smart road" which harnessed the motion of vehicles to generate electricity...

While I cannot see the above idea as being practical or cost effective, it does have the advantage that each device on a busy road would get quite a bit of energy from thousands of heavy vehicles running over it per day so is at least feasible. In contrast, the total amount of EM energy impacting on the small area of a phone case would be down in the microwatt region except from the phone it is covering, which would be a few mWh at best over an average day - way below any level that would make any significant difference to the battery's charge state.
