Mophie Juicepack Air iPhone Battery Case Available Now

Nick Broughall — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 04:40:29 +0000

Conexus has just announced that they’ll be selling the Mophie Juicepack Air iPhone case in Australia. Considering it apparently doubles the battery life of the 3GS without adding too much bulk, this is great news for iPhone owners.

The case will set you back $130, but the addition of the 1200mAH battery will extend talk time to 4.5 hours over 3G, audio playback to 27 hours and video playback to 9 hours. You’ll also get up to 8 hours internet browsing time on Wi-Fi.

Of course, all those figures will be lower in real world testing, but it does sound like a pretty good boost to the iPhone’s relatively poor battery performance.

The iPod Touch 2G has finally gotten its own $US100 Mophie Juice Pack, which promises to double the device’s battery life. Recommended, with one caveat: it looks awfully fat on the super-slim new Touch. [Mophie]

Mophie Juice Pack for the iPhone 3G Lightning Review: It Doubles the Power

The Gadget: The Mophie Juice Pack battery extender for the iPhone 3G snugly wraps around your phone and claims to more than double the available power.

The Price: $US100

The Verdict: The $US100 price tag isn’t cheap, but the Mophie Juice Pack for the iPhone 3G is worth every penny if you are a power user. Mophie claims that you can double the available power of your 3G with their Juice Pack, and I have to say that these claims are pretty spot on. I assaulted my phone with a barrage of web surfing, media streaming and app usage during the day, but when all was said and done I had only just begun to tap into the power stored in the iPhone itself. In other words, under normal usage I would be charging every two or two and a half days as opposed to every single day.

The Juice Pack definitely adds a bit of bulk to the phone, but I gladly made the trade-off for the power boost. Besides, the added size isn’t much more than you would expect from most standard cases. It also has pass-through USB for syncing and charging which is a major plus.

This is Mophie’s second go around with their Juice Pack (a version is also available for the original iPhone), but with the power demands of the 3G version, a product like this has never been more useful. Plus, the fact that it doesn’t dangle off the end of the phone like other chargers makes it suitable for daily use. Again, $US100 is a steep price to pay for an iPhone case no matter how you look at it, but if you are willing to drop the cash during these uncertain financial times, the Juice Pack will ship to customers starting this month.

Mophie iPhone 3G Battery Extender Available For Preorder, Shipping This Month

John Herrman — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 10:59:32 +0000

Mophie’s wraparound battery extenders for the first iPhone provided some relief to incessant browsers and movie-watchers, and they’re looking to adapt their “Juice Pack” to the even more anemic iPhone 3G. What does this pack offer that the others don’t? A mini USB port for syncing and charging and Apple’s coveted “Works With iPhone” certification, which Mophie assures us will come through soon (their 1st gen packs had it, so they’re probably telling the truth). The extenders should ship by the 30th of October, pending Apple’s final decision on the certification, but are available for preorder now at $US100. Battery life claims are below. [Mophie]
