The competition in the iPhone battery case arena is so hot I’m finding it hard to say anything really new about them. I’ve reviewed several battery cases for the iPhone 5/5s in just a few short months. Each one did what it was supposed to do and each one had their share of quirks and really nice features. So, what could a company possibly do to stand out from all the other battery cases? Go wireless.
We have seen our fair share of battery cases come through the Techaeris doors, and the iBattz Mojo is likely not the last we will see. This combination external battery and protective case from iBattz is looking to be the last external battery case you’ll ever need.
When it comes to protecting your device, the first name mentioned/recognized is usually Otterbox, but the Pelican ProGear Vault Series Case for the iPad Mini is not only a major player but offers an attractive alternative to the aforementioned.
There is no shortage of battery cases for the iPhone, and there are a decent amount for the Samsung Galaxy S4. They’re all over the place on Amazon and various other online retailers. But it is a rare thing indeed to ever find such a thing for Google’s flagship Nexus phone, the Nexus 5. However, we ran across a crazy awesome company called Limefuel and they’ve taken it upon themselves to create one just for you and me…the Limefuel L28N5, a 2860mAh battery case for your Nexus 5.
Gaiam (pronounced “guy-um”) is widely known as the go-to source for all things yoga; from bedding to toe-less yoga socks (yes, such a thing does exist). So imagine my complete shock to discover they also have a line of tech accessories available for iOS and Samsung devices.
I must admit, I was not a fan of wood on phones. Call me old fashioned but I like my tech uni-formally wrapped in some man-made material. I never understood the whole wood-backing craze…
…until now.
One of my passions in life has always been music. I grew up around a family of musicians…uncles, aunts, cousins, dad, and my brothers were all musicians. So, naturally, I followed that path. I started playing drums when I was seven years old and graduated when I was 11 to the king-of-the-hill (in my eyes), the guitar. If you would have told me twenty-eight years ago that I would be playing my guitar through a small TV-like device that emulated the sounds of The Eagles, Pink Floyd, and Aerosmith, I would have called you insane.
There are those that use their smart phones as really nothing more than a vehicle for talking and texting. They might fire up a navigation app every now and then, or post to social media, but by and large they cruise through the day with nary a worry of battery longevity or charging solutions. I am not one of those people.
I think that we can all agree that an external battery pack is really expected to do one thing – charge stuff. I can say with the utmost certainty that the iBattz Battstation Tough Dual Pro 12000 mAh does that with aplomb. With 12,000 mAh of portable power, this spare will charge your devices far longer than many other portable batteries on the market. With that out of the way, I feel that it’s probably more beneficial to discuss some of the things that set the iBattz apart from it’s competitors.
We see our fair share of cases come through for review here at Techaeris, and each one of them has a quality all its own. The Elago S5C Series case for the iPhone 5C is no different in that regard. Elago’s tag line is “Simple Sophistication,” and it’s a well earned tag line indeed.
When you land on Pelican’s homepage you don’t automatically think mobile phone cases and accessories. That’s because Pelican makes a variety of products, each one of them made to be tough and resilient. So is the case with their Pelican Protector Series CE1150 case for the iPhone 5/5s.
