An iPhone battery that really works.

My Comments:
I am a bit of a gadget guy. I have been draining my iPhone since the first gen – I use my screen on full brightness, I browse, I email, text and yes I even use the phone. My iPhone lasts about 3 hours a day. So, needless to say, I have been looking for a solution. Mopie Juice Pack was the external battery that I tried, and it works. It works great. The first version that I originally used has no on/off switch, so it loads the battery up when the iPhone drains, but unfortunately it did not last or hold the battery life that much longer. However, it was still better than most of the packs on the market. Mophie then brought out the full jacket version, which is less bulky and stays on like a hard shell. The best part of the upgraded product is that it now has the off switch and battery indicator lights – When you are low on juice, all you have to do is turn on the reserver. All in all, it’s a much better version and concept.
Downfalls:
I have found a couple of things I would love to see changed.
• The plug in is one of the new USB cables but it seems to be unique sizing again. Arg!
• The shell is now shinny and glossy and a tad bulky. I look forward to a thinner model with more power
• The case adds a little bulk to the phone
Overall, a good buy for the cost and there are not many others on the market that have got it right.
Cost: $79.95
Compatible: iPhone
