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.

I would like to read up on it to determine if it's what I'm in the market for as well. Thank you.

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 least I think so after all that charging! <grin> HTH ----- Original Message ----- From: Donna Neff To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2013 9:44 AM 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.

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.

Then the shell style which is a back and sides, I have this type. and finally, a shell with leather folding flap that covers the front as well. I personally did not go for the leather screen cover for several reasons. Firstly, I've never yet, really should not have wrote that :), damaged the screen of any of my iOS devices, but I have scratched, chipped and generally marked the backs and sides, so these are the areas I consider require protecting. I do not use a screen protector. The Tech21 cases are unique in their protection over all other cases, they add all but nothing by way of weight and mass to your device, only about a few mil each side, yet they protect in a amazing way. Tech21 use D3O impact technology, which is a revolutionary material invented by the military to protect things, its now found in extreme sports wear and other things like that. Basically, its coloured orange if you can see anything, not the case mark you, just the D3O which of course is inside the case away from view. What it does is spread the energy from an impact across the whole case dispersing it. The material is relatively hard when in its relaxed state, though upon impact it becomes a soft gel like substance. I have broken a number of iOS devices before I started using these cases, and can tell you now that they are both designed well, Aesthetically pleasing, but, importantly add a whole load of protection without bulking up the device.

I'm hearing from my sons that I need to get a case for it so I'm looking for recommendations. I plan to carry the phone around in my jeans pocket so I want something that will offer protection without making it difficult to pull in and out of the pocket. Does anyone use any sort of film to cover the screen for protection or is that not necessary? Thanks for any recommendations.
