Finally! A battery-in-case that isn’t so big you can’t fit it in your pocket, it almost doubles battery life, AND looks awesome! Following Mophies fairly successful “Mophie Juice Pack”, the company realized that even that model was too big, bulky, and unsightly and that something else needed to be done. Today, Mophie introduced the new slimmer sexier “Juice Pack Air“. A new battery-in-case that is lighter, smaller, and a whole lot better looking than the bigger model. The JPA contains a 1200mAh battery that as Mophie puts it, “nearly doubles battery life”. I am a pretty heavy user and manage to get just about 13 hours out of a charge so double is plenty for me. Eager buyers can snap up a pre-order of said case in exciting colors such as black, white, and…purple…(odd choice for some pizzaz but whatever). I’ll take two please. Hop on through if you must read the press release.
