InCase Power Slider doubles battery life of iPhone 3G without making it ugly
Finally, there's an iPhone auxiliary battery pack that isn't clunky. This Incase iPhone 3G Power Slider battery pack solves the iPhone's greatest weakness by doubling its battery life to 5 hours of talk time/330 hours standby, and doesn't spoil the pleasing design of the most popular phone in the U.S. in the bargain.
Peek around the back and you'll see five indicator LEDs that leave no doubt about how much juice is left. And, you can plug it into the iPhone's dock connector for charging and syncing.
We've run up against the iPhone's battery limitations so frequently, we'll gladly plunk down the Power Slider's steep $99 price when it hits Apple Stores (and elsewhere online) in the next few weeks.

It would be really awesome if the case had a pass-thru dock connector so that both devices could be charged while the iPhone is still able to be synced or docked to a music device.
Someone is going to get the iPhone battery thing figured out one day. This is tantalizingly close to the target. Kinda pricey.

1) I wonder how thick it is.
2) Combine this with the Clarifi http://gizmodo.com/5079592/lightning-review-griffin-clarifi-iphone-case and you'd have a real winner of a product.
Having to choose one or the other... not so clever.

Still only 5 hours of battery life?! Not all that great if you ask me!

Using it for a few days and not that great. Finish is nice, looks nice,
Way too heavy, way too bulky, sync times are way to long and often itunes will close sync.
Good if going away and you have absolutly no way of charging but this is not the answer.
