Mophie Juice Pack Helium IP5 is out

You cannot sync data via the USB cable - it only charges the juice pack and your phone. I received mine yesterday and the overall fit and quality are excellent. Also, it comes with a 3" headphone adapter because the jack is so deeply recessed in the juice pack - nice touch by Mophie to iniclude this. Having said that, I would prefer more power, such as the 2000 ma's in the old Juice Pack Plus. I do also have the external Powerstation Pro which is 6000 ma's for my iPad and it is great - it will charge am iPad and iPhone simultaneously.
I have a battery pack as well, 5000 mAh, but paid $28 at monoprice, instead of $100 from mophie for basically the same thing.
USPS just dropped mine off. I like it but I really hate micro USB guarantee I break it. I also don't like how there are spacers around the back of the phone which will most likely let more dirt in to scratch the phone. It's charging now well see how the main function works.
Got mine yesterday too. Nice fit, but I'm not a big fan of how big it makes my phone now, and adding the headphone extender is crazy, because the idea was supposed to be not require any additional cables because the battery is part of the case! Now I have to carry around this headphone extender. And by the way, stock earpods do fit into that channel, but it is really a struggle to send the cable down that tunnel and get it to mate with the phone. I think you would be better served taking the lower section off, putting the audio jack into the tunnel, connecting it to your phone, and then connecting the lower section to the upper section.
As others have mentioned, the Micro USB connector only charges the battery, it does not sync. It's a shame, because Apple can make a Micro USB adapter that syncs and charges, but I think they are restricting OEMs from doing the same thing.

Anyone who preordered early Feb outside the US not had their shipping email yet? Still not had the shipped email yet, slightly annoying considering they took the money immediately (Feb 5th) and said it'd be shipped by Feb 14th. Never really expected delivery till the end of the month anyway (UK) but some sign of progress would be nice.
Hello, Same here no shipping email ordered on the 6th Feb.
But this morning my Helium case arrived early morning.
