This case is specifically for the iPhone 5. It doubles as a case and
as an external battery pack. On the plus side, I purchased the case
for $49 on Amazon, and works as advertized. That's $30 cheaper than
the Mophie JucePack air with the same MAH rating of 2000 Mah, and it
looks very similar. With the iPhone 5 of course, you have the
headphone jack at the bottom along with the lightning connector. You
can pull the bottom off the case so that you can have access to the
headphone jack as you normally would, and this is both a good and bad
thing. Good because it offers more flexibility, but potentially bad
because it's easy to lose. The top of the case also comes off, and
this is specifically for removing the phone. All other ports are
usable, and there is a slot open on the back for the camera. Also like
the Mophie products, the unit takes the speaker and routes the sound
to the front of it instead of it coming out of the bottom. Finally,
just like the Mophie, there is a micro USB plug which charges both
your phone and the case, thus eliminating the need for that annoying
proprietary lightning connector. The one difference between this case
and the Mophie beyond the price is that there is a button on the back
which you press and hold in for 4 or 5 seconds to activate the battery
in the case instead of a switch. A user with no vision can't easily
tell whether the unit is on or off unless they go into the status bar
of the phone and see whether the internal battery is charging or not.
The Mophie did allow you to know very easily whether it was on or off
based on the positioning of the switch. However, since I saved $30,
that small inconvenience is more than worth it to me.
