These things look like huge ads to me, they remind me of the clothing in "Idiocracy". That impression is increased by the fact that they're currently not all that useful: 8 hours sleep for 11 hours standby means you still need to charge normally, so you might as well just stick to that. Of course, this is going to become better and better, but right now it strikes me as a marketing gag more than anything else.
