Note:  if the charger isn't supplied with an ac adapter, you can buy those 
separately with the usb port on for charging anything;  and they're quite 
cheap.

Mine is made by iGo.  There are quite a few kinds of chargers out there. 
The cheaper ones only charge their battery with a USB cable from the battery 
to a USB port on your computer.  That's fine is your computer is handy.  I 
wanted one that can be plugged into a wall outlet and still have an internal 
battery to charge my iPhone and my Bluetooth ear peace at the same time. 
This one fits the bill.  After I got mine, they came out with a model that 
has 2 USB ports so you can charge 2 devices at once,the battery can be 
recharged by AC power or solar power.  Mine is a 1800 mAh battery.  They 
have them with larger internal batteries up to 10 thousand mAh but the price 
goes up quickly the bigger internal battery you want.  The 1800 mAh battery 
can recharge 2 iPhones from dead to fully charge at the same time but that 
would pretty much drain it's battery but that's what I wanted was something 
that could be used as reserve battery, and be carried in my pants pocket.

I should say lastly that models change quickly.  They aren't hard to find 
though but I'd suggest going to the store in person so you can see it for 
yourself and make sure it fits your needs.  I've had mine for 2 years this 
May and it's perfectly fine.  I like the fact that it disconnects once it 
charges your iPhone.  Note: any of these batteries can only charge your 
phone to the same level as is in it's internal battery.  If it's only got a 
half charge, then it cannot recharge your phone to a hundred percent but it 
will disengage when it can no longer charge.

  Donna, I much like a portable charger.  I have a charger that has a 1800 
mAh battery with 2 USB ports on the short side of the case.  There is also a 
flip down wall plug which lets you use any wall outlet to recharge the 
battery or to act as an AC source.  The battery has a recessed button on the 
front on the flat side.  The charger is about the size of a deck of cards or 
smaller and easily fits in pocket or purse.  I can charge my phone in my 
pocket or wile I'm talking.  I just use the data cable  to connect my phone 
to the charger.  When recharging has completed, the charger will disconnect 
automatically.  If the phone is totally dead, the charger holds enough juice 
to charge it fully about 2 times but it's rare that happens.  Mostly I use 
it as a booster to not let it go dead wile on a call.  I need to be in touch 
with people all the time and this acts as a backup to my phone's internal 
battery.  They are sold everywhere iPhone accessories are fold.  After I got 
mine, they came out with one that added solar charging to the same battery 
so you could recharge the recharger wile your recharging your phone or at

These sound good.

I've noticed there is reference to 2A and 1A for some devices with 2 USB ports. 
It appears the 2A is for iPads and the 1A for iPhones. Does anyone know what 
the 2 A and 1 A referes to , and what happens if one plugs the iPhone into a 2A 
if by mistake, if it's only supposed to be plugged into the 1A?

Tech 21 is awesome as an option.  There are tons out there and it really
mostly depends on personal choice.  For example, I have friends who swear by
the otter-box series of cases because they love how the cases themselves
work.  I use life-proof.  I'm a bit of an extremist with my phone though and
willingly take it places no Iphone would want to go, pun intended.
Life-proof cases come with a life time warrenty, if I'm remembering right,
but for me, most importantly it provides impact protecttion up to 9 feet.
Website rates them as 6, but mine's taken a header off a 10 foot drop and
came out perfectly.  Again, website rates water-proof protecttion up to 10
feet,but  I've had mine down to about 15 feet with absolutely no leaks.
They come in a wide variety of colors.  They don't add much bulk at all.  My
only warning to anyone using any kind of case advertising water-proof
protecttion is this, always check your seals before getting in water if you
can.  most best buy stores carry life-proof and a number of others.  If you
can, you might want to go to a store in your area, and look around.  Ask a
store employee if they'd mind to take a couple of cases out that you like
the looks of.  Most employees are good about this.  Hold the cases in your
hand, maybe even try your phone out in them.  It won't work for life-proof,
because of what you have to do to get the phone in the case, but it's almost
garronteed someone at best buy will have one and they usually are eager to
show them off.  life-proof cases are meant to be used with the phone staying
inside at all times.

Subject: Nick, Life-Proof Cases


One of my friends has a life-proof case and I really like the look and feel
of it.

 

Currently, I'm using the Mofi Juice Pack but I'm on my third one and my
husband is on his second.  I think there is a flaw in the case design in the
plug where the cable goes when charging and there is no way to fix it.

 

Anyway, I'm seriously considering the life-proof case because I want lots of
protection for my phone.  Is there anything I can get to charge it when I am
on the go?  I-Phone batteries sure don't seem to last very long.

 

Thanks much and I appreciate any suggestions you may have.

 

Donna

Hi Nick lightproof cases come with a 90 day warranty and then they give you
an option to extend it to one year when you Do fill it out online. I hope I
helped you

Hey Allen

 

Tech 21 is awesome as an option.  There are tons out there and it really
mostly depends on personal choice.  For example, I have friends who swear by
the otter-box series of cases because they love how the cases themselves
work.  I use life-proof.  I'm a bit of an extremist with my phone though and
willingly take it places no Iphone would want to go, pun intended.
Life-proof cases come with a life time warrenty, if I'm remembering right,
but for me, most importantly it provides impact protecttion up to 9 feet.
Website rates them as 6, but mine's taken a header off a 10 foot drop and
came out perfectly.  Again, website rates water-proof protecttion up to 10
feet,but  I've had mine down to about 15 feet with absolutely no leaks.
They come in a wide variety of colors.  They don't add much bulk at all.  My
only warning to anyone using any kind of case advertising water-proof
protecttion is this, always check your seals before getting in water if you
can.  most best buy stores carry life-proof and a number of others.  If you
can, you might want to go to a store in your area, and look around.  Ask a
store employee if they'd mind to take a couple of cases out that you like
the looks of.  Most employees are good about this.  Hold the cases in your
hand, maybe even try your phone out in them.  It won't work for life-proof,
because of what you have to do to get the phone in the case, but it's almost
garronteed someone at best buy will have one and they usually are eager to
show them off.  life-proof cases are meant to be used with the phone staying
inside at all times.

Peace

Nick
