Mophie Juice Pack Air review

Mophie Juice Pack Air

The Mophie Juice Pack Air is the latest (and ) battery pack to come out of , and is the follow-up to the Mophie Juice Pack 3G. We’ve actually been big fans of the Juice Pack 3G since it launched last year, as it’s kept our iPhones running for just about twice as long as they normally would. FOr days during events like CES, that meant we could be checking email and texting all day and night without worrying about battery power dying. Of course, the Juice Pack 3G did have one drawback—its size. With the Juice Pack 3G on the device, it was just too big to fit anywhere comfortable, including a pants pocket. Looking to improve on that, Mophie has released the Juice Pack Air. Come on in for our full Mophie Juice Pack Air review, and be sure to enter our Mophie Juice Pack Air Giveaway!

Mophie Juice Pack 3G with iPhone

Okay, we’re mobile warriors here at Gear Live, and the battery life is the only negative for me when it comes to my . The Mophie Juice Pack 3G aims to fix that problem, and so we took it to task. Now, mind you, not everyone uses up their battery as quick as I do - I have two email accounts that are on push data, and I also push calendars and contacts as well. That’s a lot of constant connectivity going on. If I’m not careful, my iPhone 3G battery will be dead within 9 hours on a typical day.

That’s where the Mophie Juice Pack steps in, aiming to provide that extra battery goodness. Read on to find out why it earned a spot in our Holiday Gift Guide.

Holiday Gift Guide 2008: Mophie Juice Pack 3G

Mophie Juice Pack 3GYeah, we know that the is probably a little rich to purchase for someone during the holidays, plus there’s the whole activtion conundrum.
