3 out of 5 stars Sufficient   September 7, 2008
E. Bugaj (Ventura CA)
I think this product is sufficient for use in the short term but obviously would not be a substitute for a direct charge by AC. I like that it's available and that I can use it when necessary. It is great to have as a backup in case the battery on my iPhone is low. It's also small enough not to be bulky and difficult to carry.


5 out of 5 stars In your Pocket when you need it   September 1, 2008
Ian Hopkins (Charlotte, North Carolina United States)
I love this thing. Anytime I'm going somewhere I think I might excessively use my iPhone, I just slip this thing in my pocket, and I never have to worry about over using my iPhone! Since I bought it, this little mini battery has saved my but at least 8 times. It is small enough that I can put it in my back pocket and forget about all day or night until I might need it. But powerful enough that I can get about a 90% charge again without having to leave my iPhone plugged up to a wall, where who knows what could happen to it.

If you are going on a hiking trip (I use my GPS a lot for that), a friends house for a day (lots of Photos) or maybe just got invited to a last minute party, but don't have time to charge you iPhone, than you be very happy you had this battery with you.



4 out of 5 stars Works Good, But BEWARE   August 27, 2008
Scott Birdie (Long Island NY)
I agree with all previous reviews, but one thing it doesn't tell you is NOT to charge your iphone and the battery at the same time. After 3 weeks of doing this it fried the battery where now it wont even hold a charge for 10 minutes...Kensington replaced the battery free of charge, but just keep that in mind before charging the battery and the phone at the same time.

This is something that every iPhone owner should own. It is a lifesaver anytime your iPhone has depleted its charge - an almost daily occurrence for me. If you plan to use your iPhone for music, gaming or videos on a cross-country flight, this will ensure that you arrive with battery power to spare when you arrive. The dock connector on the battery exender and the mini-USB to USB cord supplied with this product means that you can leave your plug-in charger at home and recharge both the iPhone and the Battery Extender from your laptop. I have an Apple Store two blocks from my office and they have nothing like this available (and should)!
