Ad on MacRumors, Emergency Battery

[Rayfire]

Well I got my external battery I ordered from more-thing.com today.

As promised, here are the pictures, with and without the Neo Case on.

Haven't tested the charging capacity of this thing yet, as I just got it a few hours ago, but I read it charges a 3G from a low battery warning state up to about 40%.

As you can see, the extra 1mm or so raised height of the Apple connector allows it to fit most cases. It fits fine on the Neo.

Hope this helps!

Wow.. and I mean wow, it fits the Neo! That answered my question previously.

Now they say it charges your phone from 20% to like 70% (based on reviews) so that's actually pretty good, just for emergencies. Cause right now I'm using my car charger if I'm not at home. (disconnect the USB adapter then plug at work)

Hey DaytonaJae, how much did you pay all in all with shipping (you're at FL)?

I've contacted the company this morning about my apparently defective battery, so I expect to hear back from them soon.

I got an email from the company. Regular Apple wall chargers (ipod, iphone v1) don't work for charging their battery, but the iPhone 3G charger does work, and my battery is charging now.

Hey DaytonaJae, how much did you pay all in all with shipping (you're at FL)?

Sorry for the late reply. Total was $35.89 USD. I ordered it on 9/28 and received it on 10/6 from Hong Kong to Florida. Not bad!

Also I got a chance to test it out... It charged my 3G from about 40% to just shy of full (approx. 90%) before the battery stopped charging the phone. That's about 50% I estimate.
