A solution to poor battery life (iPhone)

[MeRkAgE]

Like many of you, my battery life on my first gen iphone is very poor. I can only play a game such as tiger woods for 5 minutes and my battery will be drained by 10%. However i purchased a mophie juice pack, an external battery for the iphone and it has made a significant difference. Yes, the price is not cheap, but the answers are incredible. I've been playing tiger woods for over an hour, watched a few movies, listened to a few songs, and all that has only taken 1 cycle of the possible 4 in the battery. If you're fed up of your bad battery, then seriously invest in the mophie juice pack because it will be the solution to your problems. Heres the link :

Read about these on numerous blogs, but have always been put off by the prices, heard they're selling them in Apple stores now also, so if I get the money I may buy one.

Just one thing, is the case as bulky as it looks on pictures?

Could you please take some pictures of it in your hand so I can see the difference in size? :)

I'd greatly appreciate it! :)

EDIT: Not able to find the Mophie on the UK apple store website, oh well. How much did you pay anyway? :)

Hey, and the case adds a little more weight to your ipod ( whatever one you've got ) but you get used to it and it's very easy to slip in and out of the case. It protects all of the back as expected. I can try and get some pics up later, do you mean pics of just the case in my hand? Or with the iphone in it? ( because obviously that's very hard because i'll need to find a camera elsewhere ). I got mine for £65 off ebay.

Yeah of it in your hand please. I also have the iPhone and do experience quick battery drainage when I go out for the whole day, my iPhones batter just doesn't last! especially if I use my 3G and check e-mails/play games whilst waiting about ect.

Just found em on the UK apple store; http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TV811ZM/A?mco=NjM5NzU0MQ

£70 here, I might wait till I go to the states just after Christmas, they're $75 over their, which is £50 with the current exchange rate, hopefully by then the prices will be slightly lower and the exchange rate will be better for the £, may even be able to get it for about £40 if I'm lucky.

Meh, dunno what to do, but yeah, would love to see some pictures of it with the phone in your hand, that will sway me into what decision to make then. :P

Theres the front and the back, hopefully the links work. Honestly, really good piece of kit.
