4.0 out of 5 stars Very practical but with some flaws, May 14, 2008

This review is from: mophie juice pack case and rechargeable battery for iPhone 1G (Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)

Pros:

Works as advertised. Greatly increases battery life.

Some of the early previews complained about the lack of polish on the case - generally it had an inconsistent build quality. The production version is slick and smooth - very appealing to view and the iPhone fits very snugly within the case. It actually makes it more comfortable to use the phone on an extended basis.

There's a very handy LED battery level indicator on the rear of the unit.

Cons:

Adds considerable weight and thickness to the iPhone, but hey, what extended battery doesn't?

Biggest con for some: Despite it having what appears to be a passthough sync port on the bottom, it won't actually sync with the PC. The iPhone needs to be removed from the case and plugged directly to the PC to sync up. Not a con for me since I sync maybe once a month. There might be an issue with the longevity of the case with the somewhat frequent removing of the phone - this needs testing.

Bottom line:

An attractive and very practical alternative to the dongle type battery extenders on the market. Fits the iPhone very snugly. Price should be reduced slightly, but at the moment, it has the market to itself as a take-it-with-you 'pocketable' battery extender.

It's everything as advertised. I utilize it whenever I am home or traveling on long trips. My only complaint is that the coating is starting to peel on the back 4 corners that make contact with the surface whenever I place it down.

4.0 out of 5 stars The good the bad and the ugly, June 9, 2008

I owned the Mophie Juice pack for 2.5 months now. It has never been dropped or mishandled. Overall this product does everything it was advertised to do, I am happy with it. Below is my in depth opinion of the product.

The good- The mophie juice pack does double the life of the iphones battery as claimed. Perfect for long on the road commutes/travel when a plug or charger is not available. You can watch an entire movie with no worries of battery life. On the back it has four lights with a press of a button you can see how much juice the battery pack has left before the iphone's battery will take over. The sides have a grey non-slip rubber piece which is great for grip.

The bad- The Mophie doubles the size of your Iphone. It is bulky, it is double in width and also adds about a half an inch in length to the iphone. It can be recharged with the oem charger, but the third party car charger i have doesnt have any effect on the Mophie.


The ugly- It has this ugly neon type green inside covering. The outter shell peels away over time (i have had the Mophie for 2.5 months). I guess this is the coating used to make it non-slip, which in time will result in a slippery plastic device.
