that's what my uncle said about my poor cousin ned. sure, he had some missing chromosomes, but he was still family. not sure if it was worth it, but they ended up keeping him. hope that helps.]]>Jan 8th 2010 1:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/1 The power mats are very thin or built into desks
2 The phones and devices have this technology built in already adding no extra bulk.

Most people aren't so lazy about plugging in a cable that they want to pay significant money to avoid it.]]>Jan 8th 2010 12:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/Jan 8th 2010 1:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/Jan 8th 2010 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/
I took a look at it on the show floor yesterday. I don't have the Mophie to compare side by side, but it seemed pretty close in specs as I recall. My product lit is at home.

The connections between the two pieces of the case seemed to be pretty solid, which I've read is a weakness of the juice pack air. I don't want a cheap plastic tab killing the use of an $80 case.

The rep told me the MSRP was $49.99 for the Fuel (light?). That's a fair bit cheaper than the mophie air. I didn't ask when it was shipping but checking it today it turns out that it isn't on their website as "coming soon" like the Hug charging system is. If I hit the show again tomorrow, I plan to swing by their booth again.]]>Jan 8th 2010 5:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/
- MicroUSB or MiniUSB connector (and it is on bottom or side)?
- does it have a non-slip, soft-touch rubberized paint finish?
- battery?

According to mophie website the air for iPhone has 1200 mAh in a case measuring 4.90 in x 2.59 in x 0.75 in (2.66 oz). Looks like mophie also has a new slimmer (but longer) air for iPod Touch with only 1000 mAh in a case measuring 5.24 in x 2.63 in x 0.57 in. The new slimmer air has a soft-touch finish whereas the original air has like a glossy plastic finish.]]>Jan 8th 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/Jan 8th 2010 1:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/Jan 8th 2010 2:09PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/08/case-mate-at-ces-2010-its-mostly-about-power/Jan 8th 2010 5:16PM
