Impressions of the Mophie Juice Pack Air

Just picked up the Mophie Juice Pack Air from the Apple Store.  I pre-ordered the Air on the April 10th.  Since they seem to be having issues filling pre-orders, I requested a refund and headed to the Apple Store.  Which had plenty in stock.

Pros:

  • As a battery pack, it keeps your iPhone charged.
  • Functions as a protective case.
  • Still have access to all iPhone's functions (volume buttons, camera, etc.)
  • Micro-USB replaces Apple's proprietary cable.  It also charges both the iPhone and battery pack at the same time.

Cons:

  • This thing adds bulk. A lot more than I expected.  The iPhone is thin and sleek, and this case takes that away.
  • Can no longer use a charging cradle, unless you remove the iPhone from the case.

I only had this device for a few hours. If I have any issues, I will post them here.
