Hi, I heard about a new iPhone battery case on the Today in iOS podcast and if I were to buy a battery case, I think I'd choose this one over the Mophie JuicePack because of the higher capacity, the built-in kickstand is also a nice feature. The company is called Odoyo, below is a description of the case and the link to the 5/5S model, they also have other models for the 4/4S and some Samsung phones. This case also uses a Micro USB cable although while you can get a Micro USB cable cheaper, I prefer the Lightning connector because I just really like the fact I don't have to botter about making sure I plug it in the right way around. I think that is a great feature of the Lightning connector and I don't know why the Micro USB or, for that matter, the full-size USB standard wasn't designed that way.

I don't care which model it is as long as it's identified. I'm not really interested in experience with these cases with pre-iPhone 5 models because the negative reviewers seemed to think that the product took a downturn with the iPhone 5 models. > > Thanks for any experience you can share. > > Alan Lemly > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group. > > Post a new message to VIPhone by emailing [email protected]. > > Search and view the VIPhone archives by visiting http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/. > > Reach the VIPhone owner and moderators by emailing [email protected]. > > Unsubscribe and leave VIPhone by emailing [email protected]. > > More VIPhone group options can be found by visiting http://groups.google.com/group/viphone?hl=en. > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "VIPhone" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
