Yep,
Picked up 2 for my wife and I. Can't wait till get them. We are heavy users of the iPhone and this will be great help. We loved the JPA for our 3GS's and the JPA for the IP4 looks even better. Lets just hope it does as well as the 3GS models did.

i love my morphie for the 3gs EXCEPT for the non standard usb cable.
Just greedy move on behalf of morphie....
can't really tell from the pictures... i really really hope morphie have gotten their head out of their ass and use a standard mini usb port for charging

I'm tempted to order it, but I need to know if it interferes with the cell signal any. The juice pack air for the 3gs killed my signal if I had anything less than full bars, even though Mophie said it wouldn't. I do like the fact that it looks like the case is raised up slightly over the screen. I hated the fact that the one for the 3gs was flush with the screen.
does that mean it won't ship until 5 days later?
also, what are the chances of apple carrying it this week?
Hey Outrigger, when you get one, please provide a review like you did for the Mili? That was a very thorough review.
Thanks
I placed an order this morning. called mophie, was told they will start shipping out 5 days. no word on when the other colors will be available.
Aside from the possibility of antenna issues, is there a possibility of flash issues as well? The camera/flash cutout looks to be pretty deep so i'm going to wait for reviews before purchasing this.

flash issues I have experienced was due to the cut out made from the shiny plastic. This case looks to be rubber finish matte, so I don't think it will be an issue. But there's only one way to find out.
I've gotta say that's pretty sharp looking and doesn't appear to add much bulk at all.
So how exactly do this battery case operate? From vaguely reading these types of threads over the years, it seems like it goes like this:
The iPhone drains, then when it drains, the case recharges the iPhone.
Correct?
I want a battery case that isn't just a "mobile recharge source", but sort of permanently supplements the internal battery. Rather than "essentially" doubling the battery life by allowing you to recharge, I want the external battery to work WITH the internal battery to actually double battery life (or at least on the user end appear to - i.e., I don't want to have to "recharge" with the battery pack, I want the battery pack to act as a larger battery).
Is this even possible?

What difference does it make to the end user? And yes, you're asking too much from the current state of battery tech.
i would like to see someone review the mophie, exolife, and mili. ( i know this is probably asking a lot because this can easily run upwards of 300 bucks for the three cases alone and most of just spent that on our dandy iphones!)
i know there are individual threads about the exolife and mili but it would be great to get a side by side comparison of each one. such as the mophie and exolife having a 1500 mAh capacity and the mili having 1600, yet the mili does not fully charge the iphone while some are saying that the mophie will charge the iphone to full even though it has less MAh than the mili. weird i know.
on a side note, amazon has listed a battery case by UNU that has a 1700 mAh capacity:http://www.amazon.com/uNu-PowerDX-1700mAh-External-Battery/dp/B00409E4JK/ref=pd_cp_cps_2. it is noticeably bulkier than any of the three listed above and more squared but still looks decent enough to resemble a case? maybe?
p.s. i just got my exolife shipped and will have it by friday! i chose to go with it because i like the design better(although there probably is flash problems with pics cuz of the gloss) and am banking on it having no heating issues!
