SlashGear reviews PowerSkin for iPhone 5

Posted on by

Slashgear, a popular site for tech enthusiasts (the tag line for the site is ‘Feeding Your Gadget and Tech Obsessions’) recently covered our new PowerSkin for the iPhone 5. The findings of the review fit right in line with our testing and development.

The team responsible for PowerSkin claim this battery case to be able to extend the usage of your iPhone 5 up to 70%. As far as we’ve seen, this is essentially true. If we’d had a day where we’d have knocked the iPhone 5′s power out in half a day before this battery pack, we’re now reaching much closer the evening where we’re in a place where we can charge up again.-Chris Burns, Slashgear

GstyleMag Checks out our new devices

Posted on by

Gstylemag, a site dedicated to bringing stylish technology to the masses, checked out our CES release—including the new PowerSkin cases and a new PowerSkin external pack. By the time of their release in the first quarter of 2013, we will be one of the only companies with two certified mfi charging products on the market—and most definitely one of the earliest to market.

As much as we would like our mobile devices to last all day on a single charge, that just isn’t always possible especially if we are constantly on our phones engaging with social networks and uploading massive amounts of photos. That’s why, battery cases have been quite popular over the years with many people purchasing at least one to use on certain occasions. I use one in fact on long days where I know I will not be anywhere near a charging area. With that said, PowerSkin, a well known maker of battery packs and battery cases have unveiled their next generation of battery cases for the iPhone 5 at this year’s CES.—Samuel Huang, GStyleMag.com
