Review Apple MFI-Certified Battery Charger Case for Iphone 4 4s

If there is a problem with most battery packs, it's that it is an additional "thing" that you need to remeber to bring with you. So what if that "thing" were simply part of your iPhone? That's the beauty of this nicely designed 1450mAh battery pack. It's both a battery and case for your iPhone4/4s. It will effectively double the time you can use your iPhone before needing to be charged. It does this without adding appreciable bulk or thickness to your iPhone. In fact, it is so well designed that it seems like it's naturally part of your iPhone... like it always was there.

Your iPhone simply slips onto the built-in 30-pin connector in the charger base. What is extremely important to understand is that this is a Certified by Apple connector. It has to be specific Apple requirements to be certified unlike a lot of the other third-party connectors that are not certified.

Once your iPhone is connected to the 30-pin connector you then select one of the frames to go around the iPhone and basically connect it securely to the base. Two frames are included; a clear frame and a smoke/gray colored frame. Both frames have cutouts around all the button, camera lens and flash. The frame does put add little distance to getting to the heaphone jack and it's also surrounding the jack so it is possibly going to affect a small minority of headphone plugs that have fat connectors but mostly is not going to be a problem.

Another great feature is that the battery in the case is charged using a MicroUSB cable (included) instead of Apple 30-pin connector. Big thing here is that it is also a data cable, not just a charging cable. This is a big advantage because MicroUSB cables are inexpensive compared to Apple 30-pin connectors. Therefore you can easily sync, backup and transfer photos to your iPhone just as if you were using the Apple 30-pin connector cable.

Also included is a really small AC power adapter with a folding plug. This makes it easy to carry in a pocket if you need to. The AC adapter is 100-240V, 50/60Hz which makes it useable Internationally. You don't have to use the AC adapter to charge the battery either, you can also use any USB port, like from your computer. It may take longer to fully charge, but it can be done.

On the whole, this is a very slick battery pack/case for the iPhone 4/4s. I actually like how it looks and how well it fits to the iPhone. It doesn't look at all like you've added anything to your phone because it looks like it is your phone. It isn't adding much weight, it's comfortable to hold and adds just a bit of length but hardly noticeable.

I was provided a sample for review.
