PowerSkin® – iPhone 4 Silicon Case with Built-In Battery [Gadget Review]

Sir Patrick Stewart says his smartphone is “an extension of who I am,” and he’s not unusual for folks on the go these days. Without it, a mobile worker bee might not get as much business done. Smart phone cases with built-in battery chargers were invented for this very reason, and PowerSkin’s case will give your iPhone 4 a second full charge of battery life.

Whats in the box:

  • iPhone 4 Silicone Case
  • Micro-USB cable
  • Instruction Manual

Features:

The PowerSkin is easy to put on the phone and easy to charge. The case didn’t make my iPhone 4 much thicker, heavier, or longer; in fact, it made it feel smooth. I like that you could charge the case and the phone simultaneously, as well as sync or use the data on your phone. The ads don’t lie. This case will give you twice the battery power for your phone.

Overall Opinion:

The price is around $50 and will fit any iPhone 4. If you don’t have an iPhone 4, PowerSkin has cases for other phones too. Check the website here. If you’ve generally got a wall socket or USB cable to hand, then you can pass on this. But if you’re one that is always on the go, then the PowerSkin would be a perfect investment.
