Right now, nobody is trying to sell the moldability or flexibility of polymer batteries as a feature. They are making thin, rectangular cells out of them. I think you will see a wave of ultrathin products once polymer production is on line. It will be at least 2 years before anybody starts introducing battery as clothing, curved products, etc. By the way, I don't think the manufacturers will recommend flexing the battery or using it as the outer shell. Once bent into the desired shape, the shape will need to be held by plastic.
