Win a Mophie Juice Pack Air for iPhone 3G / 3Gs!
[THANK YOU, WE HAVE A WINNER! THIS CONTEST IS CLOSED. CONGRATS TO FAITHFUL MACENSTEIN READER VINCENT!]
When you think about it, batteries may be the single greatest invention ever. They give us the freedom to use our electronics virtually ANYWHERE, completely freeing us from having to interact with other people. And probably the greatest battery of them all comes from Mophie, makers of the Juice Pack line of iPod and iPhone external batteries. And probably the greatest battery that Mophie makes is the Mophie Juice Pack Air, the super slim battery and iPhone case combined into one sleek, stylish, black, white, or purple case.
If you have an iPhone 3G, you want the Juice Pack Air. Why? Well, because the iPhone eats batteries for breakfast, and odds are you want an iPhone that still works well after lunchtime. The Juice Pack Air is a rechargeable external battery concealed inside of a protective form-fitting case for the iPhone 3G. It offers you the full protection of a hard-shell case while providing virtually twice the battery life of the iPhone alone; all in an ultra-thin, light-weight, low-profile design.
• The world’s thinnest Apple certified “Works With iPhone” external battery for iPhone 3G and 3Gs!
• Rechargeable 1200mAh lithium polymer battery virtually doubles your time to rock, talk, surf and send.
• Pass-through USB charging and sync with iTunes
• Extended smart battery and full case protection
• On/Off switch offers choice of battery or case
• Integrated 4 LED charge status indicator Iight combines nearly all the battery charging goodness of the Juice Pack (almost doubling your iPhone’s battery life) while protecting it inside a protective form-fitting case.
To enter: Batteries do nothing but bring joy to all that behold them, and are responsible for so many wonderful memories. So this week in order to enter, simply tell us what is the best battery powered item you own, or ever owned? (Keep it clean, people). Was it the giant AT-AT star was toy as a kid? Your digital camera? A Zune? Contest ends July 27th, and one winner will be picked randomly (US residents only this time, sorry folks). Good luck, and thanks for reading Macenstein!
IPHONE!!!!!!!
Has to be without a doubt the IPHONE3GS nothing can compare….
macbook air!!!
I loved the Sega NOMAD even though it ate through batteries like they were delicious candy!
I cant/wont choose between my macbook/iphone. love them both to death.
Vacuum cleaner !
iPod Touch!!!
My Xbox 360 controller! First system I owned that freed me from wires…
15″ MacBook Pro aluminium unibody, with 4 gb ram and snow leopard beta
Tivo remote. They’ve hooked me. I doubt I can ever interact with a TV again without that remote.
My MacBook Air just keeps on running…….
My MSI Wind By far with extended battery. As well my iPhone.
The iPhone is the greatest use of a battery ever. Hands down.
“Matel Electronics Basketball and Football.” Red LED lights and the great sound FX will always bring back great memories. The Head-To-Head models were perfect with friends. I still have the original “Single Player” Basketball model, and it still works great with one nine volt battery.
My RC hovercraft that took about 4 hours to charge for 10 mins of fun!
Hate to say it, but the best battery powered device I own is my iPhone3Gs. Absolutely love the thing.
My new iPhone is the best. The long last battery offers me hours of complete satisfaction!
My iPhone 3GS is the best battery-powered device I’ve ever had!
It would have to be my iphone 3G. use it every day.
Hmmm, I’d have to say my cellphone without a doubt. It’s a Treo but I’m about to get the iPhone as soon as I’m out of this contract.
Just Got it! My 3Gs 8Gig Black Iphone, I am considering on a battery pack but a broke college student.
My sega nomad is the greatest. Screw mobile Phone emulators.
My Nikon D40X camera. I can take thousands of pix on 1 charge.
My new Neuton lawnmower is actually a usable machine that does what it promises, and there’s no clouds of choking black smoke. So cool that a 16-year-old refuses to use it as being insufficiently manly.
Maglite
my iphone. hands down.
I have a huge Millennium Falcon which takes four big C Batteries, and all that it does is make some awesome missile and laser PEW PEW!!! sounds and a few LED’s light up. Probably the greatest toy I have ever had, and holy crap, if I had had to plug it in, it would have sucked. WAY TO GO BATTERIES!!
macbook!
The most joy batteries ever brought me was through my white and red R/C formula race car back as a kid. Although the charge lasted only about 20 mins, that car was fast! My brother received an R/C monster truck and I would always ram it at top speed and send it flipping away since mine was so low to the ground and fast.
Definitely my iphone. Considering I listen to about 5 hours of audio a day; music, podcasts, etc, I don’t know how I could keep my sanity without it.
“best battery powered item I ever owned?”
Had to be when I was 7 years old and really into Batman with Adam West.
Dad bought me a battery powered Batmobile, with flashing lights that he detailed
by had to make it look like the real Batmobile on TV. 😀
Still own it today.
Honestly my best battery powered item was my oriinal GameBoy. It was the start of a long obssesion if pocketable gadgets.
I would assume, it is my very old Game Boy pocket…
Slim enough to take with me and always a great fun with Tetris.
My iPhone is the most useful device I have ever owned.
Have to go old school and say walkman. Just because of the sheer number of batteries it consumed in its lifetime.
My old powerbook…the one that converted me to this cult.
Mattel LED Football II. I loved that game to death!
By far, my iPhone 3GS. Second would be my TiVo remote.
My iPhone 3G. I eat with it, use it at work and out on the town. If it was water resistant I would probably use it in the shower too 🙂
My favorite battery powered gadget has to be my iPhone 3G!!! The iPhone has saved me many many times already and could be more perfect with more battery life!!!
The wireless headphones for the kids in our Honda Odyssey van. Ahh, quiet at last!
Of course, the iPhone 3GS is really the tops!
Best device is the Leica M8 camera. Wonderful images with great lenses.
RC
My wheelchair….i need it to get around!
imagine life with no cellphone life with no iphone or blackberry no email on the go no texting or multimedia messaging without cell phone batteries we would be stuck in the last sentry boring and old….
From a parent’s perspective, I was gonna say it was the sound machine that lets helps my three month old fall asleep, but now I say it is my iPhone with Ambiance and all the noises it has. That phone can do ANYTHING!! (except burp and change diapers…there is no app for that)
My Hot Wheels track that had the garage with the internal spinning wheels that would shoot the cars out as they came through. Provided hours of entertainment. Now, it’s my iPhone 3GS which provides entertainment, not hours of it though and that’s why I need the Juice Pack – then it will provide hours of entertainment.
Other then my iPhone, my first portable cassette player-recorder (not a boom box). It was the iPod of it’s day.
I would have to agree with the majority here and say my iPhone! Nothing even comes close… well maybe that awesome spiderman electric toothbrush!!! Spiderman, Spiderman, cleans your teeth like a spider can… wait wha?!? lol
I soooo want want of these!!!
I have to go with my Macbook Pro. You can do almost everything with it, and it travels nicely
Some little LED lights I made for a grim reaper halloween costume in college. They could blink and wink – very high tech for the late 70’s and because I had black hose over my face, they were the only visible eyes. Juice pack please!
