The Gadget : FastMac ’s iV iPhone charger / assault and battery pack , which has a 3100mAh capacity , a USB interface , a flashlight and the ability to actually dock into standard iPhone porthole .
The Mary Leontyne Price : $ 79 for 2 gibibyte , $ 99 for 3 G
The Verdict : We ’ve seenplenty of case - similar backup barrage for the iPhone 3Gthe past few month , but Fastmac ’s iV could be the unspoiled in its family due to all the its features .
Its 3100mAh battery can charge the headphone about five meter from 20 % capacity to 80 % capacity , and in inviolable terminal figure , it ’s the most amount of juice in any backup battery iPhone case out there now . The USB port , at the bottom , allows you to charge an extra gimmick on the road ( perchance your Bluetooth headset ) at the same time as the iPhone .
The iV ’s flashlight is shiny , as in you really should n’t look at it straight on . It ’s not bright enough to illumine an intact room , but you may definitely find your keys with it . And the fact that the bottom really fit out into iPod / iPhone bob is an added fillip .
Our biggest charge is the iV ’s size . In ordination to house a shelling , USB charging , a torch and also somewhat enclose the iPhone , Fastmac did n’t have much elbow room to condense it down . It ’s more than doubly as heavyset as an iPhone , and is slightly taller . You probably do n’t want to allow for this docked all the time , but only take it out for a refresh charge when your iPhone ’s battery is running low .
Despite the $ 99 price , we still think this is the best all - around charger pack for the iPhone . If you ’re running out of juice often from a lot of usage , or if you just blank out to charge your telephone set every night , the iV could be a fantastic crutch . [ FastMac ]
