iPhone Portable Charger

[marksniles]

Hi Everyone!
I was wondering if any of you with iPhones have any experience with portable chargers and what would work well in the parks. I'm looking for something small that I can place in my pocket but something that attaches directly to the phone so I don't have to carry any wires. Any info you could give would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Have a magical day!
Mark

Well, I bring a portable USB charger on the park with me, because it's useful for not only charging a cell phone, but you can use it for a camera and other USB chargable devices.

I have one of these, and they cost around $50.

However, since you don't want to carry around wires (not an issue for me, I keep it in my daypack), my parents and sister have Mophie Juice Packs, and adore them.

It's incredibly thin, and comes in a few different versions, all around $100.

The largest battery version will add 140% battery life to your phone. The smallest is 100%, iirc.

Another nice feature is that the mophie charges using a microUSB charger...and when it charges, it charges not only itself, but the phone as well simultaniously. So, you don't have to constantly swap and remove it. It functions just like any other iPhone case would.

It should work perfectly for you.

I bought this one:

It charges my iPhone battery up to like 40%, give or take. This is the cheapest one, as they have bigger and more expensive ones. But it does the necessary job for me. You obviously just need to charge the battery beforehand and will need no wires in the parks

I bought it mainly for my all-day field trips to Orlando with the kids when I've had my phone on since around 4:30am. Needless to say I need a re-charge mid-afternoon lol
