PhoneSuit, another California accessory company (Santa Monica, hey hey) markets their case of the same name as the "thinnest, fastest charging iPhone 4 battery case to provide over 100% power." A mouthful indeed, but in our reviews it did hold true.
The PhoneSuit feels like armor for the iPhone. It is a thick somewhat heavy case that leaves buttons, headphone jack, and camera exposed. The only thing that is not protected is the screen; the case does not come higher then the screen surface so if you drop your phone screen down, you're at the mercy of the ground. Despite it's heavy feel, this case is quite a bit thinner than the majority of battery cases we've tested, and sports a significant curve around it's sides - perfect for pockets. The entire thing is less than 17mm thin.
As with most charging cases, you have the option to turn OFF the charging aspect. A switch at the bottom of the case allows for easy toggling on and off, with a red bit of paint to let you know which position is off. The 1amp charge gives you up to 28 hours of talk time, up to 20 hours video time, and up to 80 hours music time - and can fully charge your iPhone in 2 hours.
The case consists of two parts. The bottom, heftier bit is where the battery is and the dock connector as well. A slightly less hearty top part clips into the bottom half to complete the protection. As an added bonus, the folks at PhoneSuit include an extra top bit, as they are the proverbial weakest link in the case.
On the back is a five point LED battery status indicator so you always know how much juice is left. Press the button next to the indicator to check where you're at. When your case needs a charge; plug in the included mini-USB cord to the bottom of the case. It also comes with two screen protectors and two tops of the case.
This sase is great if you find yourself running low on battery power constantly, and is thin enough to still keep in your pocket comfortably. It retails for $79.95, but we're giving away ours as well, so leave a comment and we'll pick a winner this week to ship it to! We'll announce the winner here by Friday. Congrats to bigiphoneinreno for winnin
