Kensington Mini Battery Extender vs. Incase Power Slider,
February 17, 2009 Andrew Paik "EvilDrew" (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G (Black) (Electronics)
If you have an Apple iPhone 3G, then you probably have the same three complaints that everyone else does:
1) No video camcorder
2) No flash
3) Battery life is poor
Well, the Kensington Mini Battery Extender helps address the third flaw. I also bought an Incase Power Slider because I was wondering how they compared. I had read reviews and heard from people that the Mophie Juice Pack had problems with the rubber case falling off, so I decided to skip that one, although I played around with it a bit before buying the Incase.
All these products perform their basic function admirably - they charge your iPhone when you don't have access to an outlet. I can't actually compare which one recharges the most or for the longest, but it's pretty safe to say that they should take care of you through most typical situations (e.g. a transcontinental flight, a busy day on the phone, or a night out with friends after a long day at work). Unless you are Jack...Read more

Works for Iphone 3g :),

This review is from: Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G (Black) (Electronics)
Wanted to confirm that this works with Iphone 3g just fine. You can keep using your Iphone and listening to music etc while this is attached (it puts it into charging mode like plugging it into a wall outlet). Hoping to use this for my plane travel this week will report on battery life.
Also, wanted to say that this seems to charge fine with my Belkin Iphone charger (the set where you get wall and car charger with usb plug ins on both) it's really nice because the wall charger has two usb outlets so you can charge both the battery and Iphone at the same time without a laptop etc.

Good For One-Time Emergencies,

This review is from: Kensington Mini Battery Extender and Charger for iPod; iPhone 1G, 3G (Black) (Electronics)
I tested this charger on my iPhone(first iphone version when they just came out.)
I drained my iphone down to 10% warning and plugged in a fully-charger Kensington Battery. It took about 70 minutes until the charger's juice was gone and it powered my iPhone to about 50%. Surely enough, 3 hours later of constant texting, my iphone gave me the 10% business.
The Good:
Truly Portable. Dimensions are 2.5 x 2 x 0.5 inches. (I'm not sure why at the time of this review, it shows dimensions as 5.2 x 6 x 1.5 units. I pondered why this was the case, and it turns out that these dimentions are in centimeters.) Dimensions blend in well with your iPhone: it doesn't stick out, but just extends the lenght of your iphone by 2 inches.
Charge and use your phone at same time: No need to wait til the power transfers.
Stylish: Yes, I said "stylish." Every time I plug this in, the other iPhone users turn their heads and wonder what my little...Read more
