An iPhone case that’s actually useful

So this morning between presentations at Geekend, I was talking to one of the other attendees. I do so much note-taking and Facebooking and tweeting during the seminar that I had to bring my charger. I knew the iPhone battery wouldn’t last half a day.

The guy I was speaking to then showed me something very cool – his iPhone case, which he bought from Mophie, is a backup battery. It looks like just your average black metal case, but when you switch it on, it powers the phone. He said he’s dropped his phone numerous times too, and not a scratch on it.

I hate cases. They make the phone more bulky. I’ve survived 18 months without a case, but I gotta tell you, I like that one. It’s something I would consider buying.

Time to get back to the conference. We’re on lunch break until 1:30 and they’re offering free Segway rides.
