Life! iPhone Case Gives Full 1.5 Extra Charges For Your iPhone
iPhone cases that offer a bit of extra juice on the go are nothing new, but what makes the Life! branded model special is that it’s Australian. And we all know that buying Australian products teaches baby Kangaroos how to box, puts sand on our beaches and prevents Peter Andre from ever releasing another album.
The case itself measures in at 135mm x 68mm x 22mm and weighs 80 grams. When your iPhone runs out of juice, the in-built Li-ion battery can recharge your phone fully in about 90 minues, and then when that runs out, can recharge your phone about 1/2 way again. There’s a switch on the bottom that you flick over to begin recharging, as opposed to just plugging it in to give your iPhone longer battery life.
We’re getting one in for review to do our part for the Australian economy, but if you can’t wait, the Apple certified Life! recharging iPhone case is available in black and white leather for $79 from their website.

I’ve already bought one of these and sold it on. The packaging may say that it is compatible with an iPod Touch, but it’s really designed for the iPhone. The Touch will fit nicely, but the dock that charges the device blocks the headphone jack of a Touch (whereas an iPhone has its on top). Thankfully, I had a few iPhone-toting buddies fighting for it when I said I was going to send it back.
My review of the device itself was that it did the job as advertised and I liked having a flip case for the Touch. Overall, it was nicely made but for the on/off switch (for the battery), which was rather flimsy and I couldn’t see it lasting very long. That said, mine may have been an early sample.
Now this is a great idea I love my iPhone but that battery is horrendous. Despite the new software is appears to be worse. Only thing that works is to turn off the 3G.
Looks like Peter Andre will survive to produce a hit sequel to funky junky. God speed the remix.
