Energizer AP1201 battery case

http://www.energizerpowerpacks.com/u...1-gallery.html

Anyone see this, slim batter case with oval cutout and all buttons covered. Sounds like a winner.

Yet another battery case that uses a mini-USB port instead of an ipod connector. Removing the case every time I want to place it on my night stand/connect to my car? No thanks.

Looks much better than the one they had for 3G(S). Might check this out if I can get my hands on it first.

I jus got this today for 86 dollars total at best buy today. I really like the feel of it and it feels real good in the hands. I had a belkin leather back case before i got this one and i really liked the bekin but now this case is better cuz it has a battery which is good when i go on long trips or when im really using the battery for games, music and gps apps. Not too bulky and it feels real good. I reccomend it, ill be back later after i have charged the iphone battery and the case battery to post how long it lasted altogether.

Ok well ive been charging and the iphone battery is completely charged but the case has been charging for almost 4 and a half hours and its not even completely charged. I dont know if maybe its defected or something but its not good enough for me. I really liked it also. I also noticed that when iphone charging is completely charged its still charging the iphone battery even when the usb cord is disconnected from power supply. Another thing is that when u take it off power supply ithe case keeps charging the iphone and when u go into lock screen it shows the battery status image. Where is my lock screen wallpaper. It states clearly on the energizer website that it has a smart battery technology that auto kicks in when iphone battery is depleted but i think that is not true. To me it seems like it kills the case battery first than the phone battery. Im going to take it back to best buy and get a refund and get me the new mophie juice pack since it on/off charging. The energizer case is nice but these few problems ruin it. If anyone else has one of these cases and im wrong please inform me.

It also shows only 4 lights when fully charged.

Yeah inliked the energizer case but it always stayed charging from the case battery. U couldn't put it in standby and that's not something I like.
