MiLi's Powerskin claims coveted 'thinnest iPhone battery case' title

And here you were, stylin' in your Juice Pack Air, thinking you were the king of the charging iPhone case hill with the sleekest hardware money can buy... but guess what? Life isn't fair, and MiLi intends to prove it by undercutting Mophie's solution by right around a twentieth of an inch of thickness. It's still packing 1200mAh of power -- the same that the Juice Pack Air offers -- which MiLi claims should be enough to just about double your run time. It's available now in a choice of eight scintillating color combos for £47.99 (about $74).

I have had one of these for over a month and I love it. Bought it off Amazon for $50. I only use is when I need more battery life so I never sync with it on. The package said it can sync the the included usb cable so I'm assuming it would work fine.

I agree

Likely a Li-Po battery. Being so thin, one drop and 15min later it explodes or catches on fire. Looking forward to those stories when they hit Engadget.

@recharged95 Yes it's a Li Pol battery. Confirmed on their site. But so is the Mophie Juice Pack Air.

Unless this thing has an On/Off switch, the Juice Pack Air wins.

$15 at Monoprice. Move along back to your cubicles. Nothing more to see here.

I have one of these. This worlds smallest / thinnest claim is garbage. All they did was slightly shrink the height of the case. The problem is this makes the front face of your iPhone screen stick out above the case! So if you drop your iPhone you have no protection to the most important part of your iPhone, the screen! Dont believe the Marketing tricks.
