Mophie Juice Pack Boost Review & Giveaway

By ChantelleJoy on October 24th, 2010 121

I have to admit, I’m a fan of Mophie Products. I’d used a Juice Pack Case for my 2G right up until I upgraded to the 4 this year. As we are all sadly aware, getting accessories out quick enough for the iPhone 4 was a bit taxing on accessories makers this year, but luckily Mophie was on top of their game and put out two mobile charging options relatively quickly.

Given that they just (finally!) launched the full iPhone 4 Juice Pack Air Case – I think it would be a fitting time to let our readers know about my experience with the Juice Pack Boost and to give it away to someone who really wants it.

Firstly, if you’re used to using a mobile charging case like I was, where your extra battery fits snugly around your iDevice, than the Boost might take a bit of getting used to as a second battery pack. However, it’s super useful and fast. While you might want to avoid talking on the phone while it’s attached, it certainly fits well while charging in your purse, bag, backpack or whatever.

I used it mostly over the 2010 Toronto Film Festival, where I was out of the house nearly 10hrs each day, using my iPhone nearly every minute I wasn’t actually watching a film. I’d use it in line, between movies, on the commute in, and back each day. Between the regular surfing and using MyWi (for my iPad), I was draining the battery amazingly fast. So the boost really came to my rescue.

When my battery was getting low, I’d pop on the battery pack just before going into a flick, and by the time I came out, my iPhone was charged again. Brilliant. While, I feel the time it takes to charge the boost itself seems longer than the time to charge the phone, having both charged when you leave for a 10hr day is your best bet to get the most out of this extra battery pack.

Check out the several battery options for the iPhone 4 from Mophie. The Boost is $59.95 USD + Shipping, while they do have a more cost effective option, the ‘Reserve’ for $39.95 + Shipping. The Juice Pack Air (case) is out now too, and I’ll definitely update you about my experiences with it once I get it, and have a chance to test it out.

GIVEAWAY

    I have an iPhone 4 and am constantly out for the entire day (like 7 til midnight) and even with regular usage (and yep, MyWi use for the iPad and sometime’s my wife’s iPhone with no data plan), it’s easy to run out. This would be a great addition that we’d both love (and I love having a happy wife!!!!) :)

    I could definitely benefit from such an amazing accessory. My iPhone 4 has become one of my main work tool and I use it for it lot throughout the day! My office has bad cell towers reception and there are no WIFI access points. As such, my iPhone works hard trying to find and maintain a connection. I cannot make it through a day with the type of usage I have. Being able to extend the autonomy would be the best gift!

    There is nothing worse than being nowhere near an outlet and having “20% Battery Remaining” pop up on your display.

    This battery pack means I don’t have to turn my brightness all the way down, step down to 2G, turn off bluetooth and location, and stop push notifications just to squeeze out as much extra time as I can before battery death.

    That is something that I have not got around to getting yet so it would be amazing to win. I am always running short at the end of the work day with my battery, so it leaves me watching how I use my iPhone till I get back to do a recharge.
    So winning this would be awesome!!

  • Knife Doctor

    i’d like one please – i work 30 hour call shifts in the hospital and there’s no way the iphone4 lasts as long as that

  • nuurban

    I could use one… always running out of power. :(

  • JDJ

    I always need some juice for my phone.

    ‘Purchased my iPhone 4 and I’m always on it on a 20-hr basis, so I grab every opportunity to plug it in to charge (at home, at work, in the car, at a friend’s house, at the clinic while waiting for my name to be called, etc), and I get frustrated at times when I need it, and then I see the 20% battery warning come up. The Mophie Juice Pack Boost will definitely be a welcome companion for me — light, elegant, and a sure charge!

  • BarelyHangingOn

    My iPhone was my first purchase of an Apple product. I purchased not only for it’s cell phone but to stream music on the go, to use as a GPS system for golf, to take pictures and movies and play games and run other apps.

    I am constantly running out of battery juice. I bought several battery packs online or from electronic stores and sadly none of them work effectively.

    I would love to get an iPhone 4 Juice Pack Air Case as everything I have read speaks positively about their reliablity and durability. I am the worse golfer on the “d” tour and need the battery to my awful game rise to the level of beater.

  • Noreallyitsme

    I work in film and television production. Ever since I found the iphoneincanada website, I’ve made it a touchstone for a variety of decision makers on how to get hooked up in Canada! You’re brilliant!
    That said, I work LONG LONG hours in remote locations on set and not an outlet in site sometimes which can cause some real “drama”. I’d love the opportunity to work with a Mophie Juice Pack and tell everyone where I got mine from…IphoneInCanada.com! Crossing my fingers and toes you pick me cause “you like me…you really like me!!” LOL!

    Ooops…iphoneincanada.CA not .com! It’s all in the details so gotta get it right to win, right?

  • jcretlaw12

    This would be great for watching all the movies I have on my phone

  • Mjd22

    Because I have a mophie for my iphone 3gs and it doesn’t fit my iphone 4. I can never go back to plugging my phone into the wall like a sucker…. NEVER! Also I am too cheap to buy another one.

  • Koiril

    I would finally be able to last an entire day with my phone on!

  • Darko

    I would love to win this. It would be great for when I am on the road and have no option to charge my iPhone.

  • Scarymon

    We are traveling to China in January with my 2 daughters to take them back for a visit to the country where they were born. The plan trip is long (16 hours plus) and I will be using my iPhone and their iPod to try to keep them entertained. Extra battery power would definitely come in handy to avoid at least some of the tears.

  • http://JuiceForFasting.com Juice for fasting

    Water fasting for weight loss is perhaps accompanied by dehydration, which implies that a number of the misplaced kilos are literally fluids. It’s regular to revive a part of these kilos after the tip of the detox plan and this isn’t a purpose to fret about. Juice fasting is best described as juice weight-reduction plan , since it’s concentrated vitamin fairly than abstinence from nutrition. Juice fasting can also be extraordinarily useful, however cannot be in comparison with water fasting. Juice fasting is just not fasting: it isn’t anti-inflammatory; solely pure water fasting is. Vegetable or fruit fasting is just not fasting: it’s extra of a healthful diet.
