I was concidering getting one, but if I did, I'd perfer one with this form factor -like a case, rather than an attachment. I'd also need guarrantee that it would work with the next iPhone since I know I'll be upgrading to it.]]>Apr 19th 2009 1:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/
The screen on the iPhone is glass, it's virtually impossible to scratch unless you have diamonds in your pocket.]]>Apr 19th 2009 1:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/Apr 19th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/
Most cases provide a screen protector to protect the screen; my iPhone case came with one, and it's great, no problems with the screen whatsoever. The screen is exactly as functional and visible as before, and as a plus, the screen protector is matte, so there's no glare whatsoever using it in very light situations, such as outside.

Dismissing this as not being a good case because it doesn't protect the screen is completely unjustified.

Anyways, since I'm not an extremely heavy user of my iPhone, but sometimes forget to charge it or can't for a day or two, I think this is unnecessary for this price range; if need be, probably before I travel this summer I'd just get one of those iPod chargers that just plugs in a battery. On a plane, subway or bus it would be fine without the premium. However, I can understand heavy gamers or business users getting this, as some applications on the App store drain the battery fast (mostly 3D games, apps that constantly use the GPS and streaming apps like internet radio, etc.)]]>Apr 19th 2009 2:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/Apr 19th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/Apr 19th 2009 2:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/
wow, didn't know that the Pre had been released yet. good to hear you guys have had so much time to play with it and test out the battery life. can't wait for the rest of the world to get it, besides you two.

Hopefully Apple will build the next iPhone with a more powerful battery even at the expense of making it thicker.

This extended battery looks pretty good and doesn't add too much thickness. If this can make your phone last twice as long I say it's worth it. ]]>Apr 19th 2009 11:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/

And seriously? you're going to complain about Engadget reviewing a very useful add on for a phone that I would assume at least 25%, maybe even as high as 50% of the readers of the site has? I'm not a fan of the iPhone myself, but I can totally see why they would post this.]]>Apr 19th 2009 1:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/Apr 19th 2009 2:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/Apr 19th 2009 2:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/
Your question should be "Has engadget ever posted a story about a n extended battery for a device which has a non-replaceable battery"

And to that, I would guess No.

PS -- speaking from experience, things that definitely will scratch an iPhone screen are the teeth of a Boston Terrier. ]]>Apr 19th 2009 5:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/Apr 19th 2009 5:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/

One should also consider that lithium-ion polymer batteries don't like to be dropped and if the case is to provide protection and extended battery life, it might be a sacrificial element in such a mishap as dropping the phone. ]]>Apr 19th 2009 1:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/19/mophie-juice-pack-air-hands-on-and-impressions/
@pshirley is that the kind of battery not conducive to dropping?

It's such a huge issue that the iPhone needs an external battery which is what this article is about.
