Could you do a drop test on this case? i love the battery part of this case but i am rough on my phone and drop it a lot i have the otterbox defender series and i think nothing of dropping my phone down the stairs (has happened a few times) is this case good with being dropped?
Fantastic and comprehensive review, very well done. I was wondering about the round button on the bottom of the phone that allows you too check the battery strength or charge level. If you place the phone in a dock or say a cradle, will the bottom be in the way, I'm not sure how far it sticks out from the bottom. Not related to this video but is there a better charging system like a mat or whatever that would not require me too connect a cable to it at night when I do an overnight charge
Does anyone know if you can incorporate a screen protector to use with this? I really want to get one, but need to hop into the U.S. first as the Air is only available in Canada now...
@ChecanStyxss The location of the volume buttons has not changed. Honestly if this is such a concern for you don't take my word for it. Please email Mophie directly and ask them.
q) does the juice pack with the iphone inserted in it and using the usb cable that came with the case; can charge both the iphone and the juice pack's battery simultaneously?
how long does it take to reach full charge when charging the iphone 4 and the case at the same time? mine takes about 5 to 6 hours to reach full charge
@larrygreenberg really liking this case, can I check if the gaps are flushed on the sides where the 2 parts meet? I saw/read some mention about the 2 parts not being aligned properly.
Awesome Case...And is not very fat,it remembers me the size of 3GS!!!You will have 3600 Mah(1600 from iphone 4 and 2000 from the juice pack plus)so that means if u are a heavy user 3 days without charging!!
Larry, important question. Only thing keeping me from buying this case is the fact that there is the dock connector always connected to the phone. I might be wrong but isn't that bad for the battery in general? I assume keeping the connector (metal) into the charging port all the time cannot be good for your iphone battery.
@TheNipommu You dont have to keep the external battery on, you can turn it off if u dont need it. Im pretty sure the doc connector wont be hurt any with this case.
If you go to an area where you only have 1 bar of signal strength and move the phone around 360 degrees very slowly do you find any directions where you loose signal? I owned the In-case slider battery case for the iphone 3gs and it would severely impact signal strength when the phone is turned around different directions. The case definitely blocked signal. The antennae is on the outside edges on the iphone 4 so I expect these battery cases to work better with the iphone 4.
I am thinking the same way. I don't like the feel of the iphone 4 with the apple bumper case. It just doesn't sit well in the hands because the edges are so square. If I look at it while I am holding it my hands wrap around the 3gs much better because of the rounded back. I would like extra battery capacity but the other big benefit I am hoping for is that it will better fit my big hands.
Another great video & product. I'm wondering if there's any signal lost with having a battery/case covering the iPhone? Can you speak to my concern? Otherwise it looks like a must have when you're traveling or constantly mobile. Thanks for sharing Larry!
Awesome stuff here Larry Mophie always makes awesome backup batteries....im loving my Luckpacks Charging case currently and although it's only 1300mah i wish it would charge more like this one with the 200 but it's on sale from luckpacks for $34.99 so you just cant go wrong with that price, that's why i went with that one. -Sean
Larry, Are you sure that the Plus is the same size as the Air? It looks a little bit thicker. Not sure if I need the extra 500mah. One of the LEDs burned out on my Air, so I am sending it back to get a replacement, just not sure if I should ask to pay the difference of an upgrade.
@larrygreenberg great review! Big question, the Mophie juice pack air had a problem with the top loosening. It looks like this has the same design. I would pull it out of my pocket and the top would come off really easily so I returned it. Do you find the top is a snug, tight fit? Please report back after CES too after use.
Sweet,They don't have any Mophie's in our apple store at the momment,I wondered why,I have to get me one of those when i can,2000mAh wow,just what i need,Can't wait to hear your feedback on CES this year with your scottevest challenge as well,that's deffo gonna be an adventure for sure :),How's the packing going ? :)
Do they really "crap out" after that long, Larry?
