Mophie introduces NEW Juice Pack Plus for iPhone 4!

[3goldens]

In the picture with the front view of the phone it appears that the case is not completely aligned on the right hand side where the two pieces meet. Is my perception true or it is just the angle that the photo was taken at? That is my only concern, I am really OCD about that for some reason.

Fear not, I think that was the way the flash was hitting the bottom portion. As you can see the pictures above are the same side and it lines up fine.

I was having a hard tome getting the camera to focus directly for some reason, it was driving me a little nuts but there is no alignment problem so your OCD will not be kicking in on this product. I would be the same way.

I have posted another shot for you none the less..

Still not lining up terribly well, I noticed the same thing on my Juice Pack Air, the top needs to be perfectly lined up as it slides along the steel band of the iPhone other wise it grabs a little and pulls it slightly off kilter.

I also notice that the top does not sit down low enough to cover the metal band as it does at the bottom, and in the case of the JPA even let light show through from the top cutouts. I fixed it by using double sided tape to place a couple of small pieces of thin black fabric into the gap on the inside between the dock and speaker openings which just lifted the phone enough for a perfect fit top and bottom.

Dude, it really is not, I assure you. Your taking a photo and blowing it up to try and prove a case where there is none, I mean if you've had bad experience with your juice pak, you need to address that with them because the product was designed to fit properly. If yours doesnt send it back!

As I said if it was I would return it and get another.

Your wrong again, your looking at the very small gap between screen and the SGP screen protector, again being picked up and highlighted by the flash.
I can not see the metal band at all, on this unit or on my juice pak air. If you can, then there is something wrong with yours and you should call them up and get an RMA. Why settle for a product that appears to be defective. I have 3 Juice Pak Airs and 2 JPA Plus's, they all line up perfectly and I'm very happy with them.



I will say that the first Juice Pak Air I got for my I4, the top was defective, slid off to easily and I had them send me another. Snug as a bug now, and it lines up perfectly as you can see in the picture.

I'm not sure why but you seem a little defensive "dude" but whatever.

Firstly I have no problems with my JPA in fact I love it and use it as my primary case, however it is not perfect.

Secondly none of the images have been blown up, they are at the resolution you uploaded them.

Lastly you have 6 images so far showing that side of the case from different angles and and light conditions and they all look cockeye. Whether you choose to just not see it is up to you but from where I am looking there is either a problem with your JPA+ or you do not have the case fitted properly, I am guessing the latter.

For what it's worth, I have the iPhone 4 original Juice Pack Air - and it's the same for me. One of my sides lines up every so slightly off / bulges out. It's really not that noticeable at all and doesn't bother me. But it's there.

You seem to have your mind set, I'm not going to argue with you, its rather pointless, isn't it. Your looking at amateur pictures, which I am now sorry I even posted and making an overall judgement on the design and inferiority of this product based on your experience with a different product. You state your case does not fit correctly, yet you kept it and use it as a primary case and instead of doing something about it, you just complain about it.

You now deduce that all Mophie products must be made in the same way as your case. I maintain they are not and stand by what I say about the over all quality being very impressive. I don't find this very often in products today.

I am kind of wondering if you have an early version of the Juice pak, which apparently did have some problems with the top, loose, coming off easily and not aligning.

When I called Mophie and explained what I was experiencing, they sent me another top, which fit snuggly. There was definitely a difference in the fit of the new top I received. Now unless I got a lemon the first time. I am betting there was a tweak in the design of the top.

As far as the + goes from where I sit, and I have it in front of me, it fits correctly and lines up without any hint of misalignment.

That's the bottom line and remains so unless of course you want to go out and get one and see for your self. Do report back to us and let us know what the results are.

To continue to propagate the notion that Mophie designs and manufactures a product that is inherently flawed because your one experience with a case that you say does not measure up is a little ridicules.

Again, if in fact your case does not fit properly, and it clearly bothers you with your OCD tendencies you should have returned it and told Mophie about it instead of just living with an inferior product.

To use this limited experience to come into a thread and start denouncing a really great new product, that has, in my opinion, a really well thought out and nicely articulated design doesn't make sense to me.

I say this because I do know a little bit about design, production and the overall quality of products and have seen my fair share of good ones and recognize immediately the inferior ones.

I would not feel comfortable recommending or promoting a product in an open forum that I did not personally own or had experienced. It is through members reviews and feedback on new products that many of us have a chance to take a first look at these things and then make a decision on whether or not to purchase for ourselves.

That being said, if your in the market for a well designed power pak for your iphone that fits really nicely, and, will give you plenty of juice for a very long time, I recommend your ordering one and seeing for yourself exactly what I am talking about.

Clearly you have misinterpreted my comments. I did not say it does not fit correctly what I wrote was...

"Still not lining up terribly well, I noticed the same thing on my Juice Pack Air, the top needs to be perfectly lined up as it slides along the steel band of the iPhone other wise it grabs a little and pulls it slightly off kilter."

Let me clarify, this is not me complaining about the JPA this is me expressing my thoughts based on your photo that it appears to me (and others) that the case is not properly fitted, that perhaps whilst sliding it into place it may have grabbed a little and pulled slightly out of alignment. I mention this because it happened to me, not because the product is flawed or faulty just user error and easily remedied.

You now deduce that all Mophie products must be made in the same way as your case. I maintain they are not and stand by what I say about the over all quality being very impressive. I don't find this very often in products today.

No such deduction was made however I do agree with you whole heartedly, having purchased 2 versions of the JPA I concur they are excellent products, attractive, robust and well built with quality materials and at no time stated otherwise.

I am kind of wondering if you have an early version of the Juice pak, which apparently did have some problems with the top, loose, coming off easily and not aligning.

Have had no problems with the top coming off.

As far as the + goes from where I sit, and I have it in front of me, it fits correctly and lines up without any hint of misalignment.

Perhaps it does now however based on all of your photographic evidence it appeard at the time that it did not, I guess we will just have to take your word for it.

That's the bottom line and remains so unless of course you want to go out and get one and see for your self. Do report back to us and let us know what the results are.

Unnecessarily condescending however I am perfectly happy with the JPA and have no plans for a JPA+ at this time.

To continue to propagate the notion that Mophie designs and manufactures a product that is inherently flawed because your one experience with a case that you say does not measure up is a little ridicules.

Ummm.. sorry where did I do or say this?

Again, if in fact your case does not fit properly, and it clearly bothers you with your OCD tendencies you should have returned it and told Mophie about it instead of just living with an inferior product.

LOL, thank you Doctor Phil, however misdiagnosed.

To use this limited experience to come into a thread and start denouncing a really great new product, that has, in my opinion, a really well thought out and nicely articulated design doesn't make sense to me.

Very dramatic, however in reality I merely made 2 observations and suggested a couple of simple solutions.

I would not feel comfortable recommending or promoting a product in an open forum that I did not personally own or had experienced. It is through members reviews and feedback on new products that many of us have a chance to take a first look at these things and then make a decision on whether or not to purchase for ourselves.

Exactly which is why I believe anyone doing so should not take a slap dash approach and take some care to ensure that such a review\feedback shows said product at its best. (Example) "jplusc" observed from yours that the case appeared misaligned on the right side, to me it looked misaligned on the right side yet you were adamant that it was not despite uploading further images that appeared to confirm that perhaps it was. I then posted that this was likely due to a user fitting error rather than a product defect.

You seem to have your mind set, I'm not going to argue with you, its rather pointless, isn't it.

Oh dude, isn't it you who seems to have his mind set?

I would also say that your case is not properly fitted. The right side is clearly misaligned a bit. (But well, some people won't notice such a small misalignment anyway, so neither will I argue with you on this. )

(Sorry, couldn't help myself )

Anyway, this new Morphie is great. Now if only they'll make a version with solar-cells... (It would be a godsent, wouldn't it?)

 

[dreiz]

hey, im new to this forum, and was looking at this case as well compared to the Air? I was wondering aside the battery capacity which one is better in design and material used? and also their prices are a bit high, so does anyone know any coupon codes for mophie website? i only know 15% off, anything else?

also on the mophie sites the dimensions of air and the plus are the same and i emailed them asking to confirm, but as im seeing here the plus is thicker than the air? is this true?

 

[SchneiderMan]

The alignment on my Juice Pack Air is better but not seamlessly perfect. Of course that won't be enough if you're very picky. I don't mind the small gap between the two parts. I should note that the product shots show the exact same gap as in the actual product.
