Mophie Juice Pack Helium

Now we all know iPhones have shitty battery life, but it wasn't till I was stranded in London the other month with only 5% left after charging it earlier that day did it really get to me.

I had looked through Amazon and seen that there was a huge range of charger cases available ridiculously cheap, but reading through the reviews made it clear that these were pretty hit and miss, so I decided to look into something more reliable. Of course this then meant the prices rocketed up, but to me, having something that I could really depend on was much more important.

This is when I came across the brand Mophie. Available from the Apple Store here for £69.95 (iPhone5/5s case), they were quite out of my price range so instead decided to look on the Mophie website itself which has a range of cases, but happens to be american based only. However luck was on my side and they were offering 40% off as their Black Friday deal! So the Juice Pack case, shipping and customs charges came to a total of £40, which I think is pretty damn good.

The case itself is insanely light for what it is, which really threw me the first time I picked it up! Though this in no way means it feels cheap; it is a plastic case which is wonderful to hold, and really protects the phone. It came pre-charged which is think is awesome, and claims to provide your phone with an additional 80% of battery life which I can vouch for.

Its wonderfully simple to use; simply charge the case using the usb provided which can be done through your laptop or plug that comes with your iPhone, and the little lights on the back will show how much charge there is on the case. The other little switch allows you to turn the charging function on and off, so that the case can just be used as a normal case when you don't require more battery.

I think this case is definitely an investment, but one that I know I will get so much use from! It has helped me out so many times already and know it will continue to do so, so overall I am a very happy camper.
