Gadgets: iPhone Case/Extended Battery

May 1st, 2009 — walt

I just picked up an Incase Power Slider battery backup for my iPhone 3G and it’s almost charged.  It does take away from the sleek elegance of the iPhone 3G, but I’m looking forward to having some real battery life!  Below is a review post from Ars Technica with comments thread I ‘liked’ in the iPhone room over on Friendfeed and here’s what Engadget had to say.  So far, I haven’t found a review out there that doesn’t rate this product highly (other than the added bulk).  I’m expecting nothing but good things from this little gadget…

  • Forgot to come back to comment on the Incase Power Slider until now, but I had the phone in the case and charging overnight. Unplugged it around 6am and around 5:30pm I noticed I still had a full charge but the Incase was spent. I have been outside all day with 3G, Bluetooth (no pairings), full brightness, Edge, SSH, & WiFi all going. Made a few calls, posted to Brightkite, surfed the web/Friendfeed a bit, sent some txt messages, and checked some email. Nothing too fancy, but double my battery life the Incase indeed has... after 12 hours of light usage but everything on and I still have a full battery... definatly a good $80 investment for iPhone owners. The bulk really isn't a factor and the Incase barely adds any weight. I actually digg the add-on quite a bit as to me it makes the iPhone 3G feel more rugged and solid.
