Crave giveaway of the week: Mophie Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 3G

Update: This week's winner is David P. of Burlingame, CA.

For this week's Crave giveaway, we've got the Mophie Juice Pack Air, a rechargeable battery case for the iPhone 3G. It's a great "twofer"--a protective case that also delivers extra battery life to your iPhone. (You can flip the battery on and off, so it'll only draw power when and if you want it to.) Normally, the Juice Pack Air goes for $80, but you've got a chance to get one gratis.

So, how do you try to win yourself a … Read more

Mophie Juice Pack Air is here, and it's not perfect (review)

Following a long wait after my first blog, I finally got my hands on Mophie's Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 3G. The company announced the availability of the accessory Tuesday with a price tag of $79.95.

If you own an iPhone 3G, you know how bad the device's battery life is, especially when you have 3G, GPS, and Wi-Fi turned on. For this reason, extended batteries, such as the original Juice Pack from Mophie are a must. However, this juice pack is rather bulky and doesn't cover the top of the phone. This is where … Read more

If you've been waiting for the Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 3G, it's still not out yet. However, you can now get Mophie's latest Juice Pack for the iPod Touch 2G that the company announced on March 19.

Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 3G to slim down

This is getting old, but if you have an iPhone 3G, you definitely need an external juice pack. And I have some good news.

Mophie, the maker of the popular and long-lasting original Juice Pack for iPhone 3G announced Wednesday its new and much slimmer version of the accessory, appropriately called Juice Pack Air.

The new juice pack is equipped with a 1,200-mAH lithium polymer battery housed in an ultra-thin case and designed to double the amount of time you can work on your iPhone 3G.

Mophie Juice Pack for iPod Touch packs a wallop

The battery built into the Apple iPod Touch can last up to 23 hours if you're just listening to music--but who uses a Touch just for music? Watching movies, playing games, streaming radio, and browsing the Web can quickly zap your iPod's battery. Anyone who's been stuck in the middle of nowhere with a useless, dead iPod has had to learn this lesson the hard way.

If you need enough power to make it over the long haul, the Mophie Juice Pack is an external rechargeable battery that doubles the battery life of the iPod Touch. Unfortunately, … Read more

Mophie juice pack 3G promises to extend the iPhone 3G's battery life

Thanks to the iPhone 3G's purportedly sorry battery life, we think the must-have accessories for the iPhone 3G are arguably (1) an extra charging cable, and (2) a battery extender. We've mentioned the Kensington Mini Battery Extender before, but I personally find it adds a little too much length to the iPhone 3G.

MStation, which released the Mophie juice pack battery extender for the first-generation iPhone last December, has just announced its second version of the Mophie just for the iPhone 3G.

Dubbed the Mophie juice pack 3G, this portable charging dock even comes "precharged" right … Read more
