Review: Rechargeable Battery Case for iPhone 3G / 3GS by Miniinthebox.com
Posted by: Phat^Trance in Reviews, iPhone News, iPhone accessories
I love my iPhones but the biggest moan is the battery life, no matter how you play with the contrast settings, switch wifi on and off and tweak all the other possibilities the battery still struggles to see me through a full working day. Carrying a spare wall charger is an option and I always have a spare in my bag but what about the times that I’m out and about, far from a wall socket and far from a USB connection on a computer?
There are plenty of add on rechargeable products on the market all designed to give you a power boost when you are in need, what is important is an external battery that has enough juice to be able to fully recharge an iPhone from empty to full again in a reasonable time.
I particularly like the miniinthebox.com rechargeable battery case for 3G/3GS, I like the way the iPhone slips into the case and all the iPhone features including camera are operable whilst charging. The case has a hefty 1800mAh battery which easily powers up your iPhone faster than charging via USB on a laptop.
The case has 4 led’s on the rear showing power indications and the on off switch allows you to choose when and where to boost power. Fully charging the case took 2.75 hours from a wall socket and 4.25 hours from a laptop via USB. Charging the iPhone from 0% to 100% took 2.5 hours.
Overall I’m very satisfied with the rechargeable battery performance and I never leave home without it. For more information visit miniinthebox.com
