New Mophie Juice Pack Air for iPhone 5

Was an early Helium adopter...and didn't like the gray color, slippery finish and overall look of it at all. Sold it on Craigslist...and lost $20. Oh well...
Went to a Supercross race in St. Louis that I had to report to the website I work for, and although charged to 100% before I left for the stadium...after multiple emails, and crappy WiFi service...my iPhone 5 battery died before the main event. The result was me rushing in a taxi across town to my hotel to charge the phone...and rushing back just in time for the main. To say I was stressed out of my freaking mind is an understatement!!!
Soooo...just ordered a black Mophie Juice Pack Air for my iPhone 5. By God, that won't happen again!!
I'll be flying to Houston, TX in a couple of weeks to report there again...so the Air will get a baptism under fire!!!

I agree, but unfortunately this is going to be a problem with all iPhone 5 battery cases because the lightning connector and headphone jack are both on the bottom. Hopefully Apple will put the headphone jack back on the top in the next revision
What I did was just leave the adapter on my headphones, so it essentially becomes part of my headphones instead of being an extra piece that can get lost.
Yes I'm sure. I went in for another Helium. They were sold out but had two Air's in black hanging off the peg.
What city are you in because I've been looking around Houston and have not found any?
Los Angeles, specifically the BB in Santa Clarita, 91355. I was actually surprised to have seen the Air and actually I don't think the staff realized they were not Helium's. They were hanging off the "Helium - Black" peg which showed a price of $79.99. I almost bought one and insisted on the $79 price since that is what was marked but I don't want a Black Air.
I just bought one at the Best Buy in The Woodlands. They had like 4 left.

The one on Lake Woodlands? Funny, cause I called and they said they didn't have any. Was it on display? I may just stop in and check.
Yea, the one right by the mall. It was next to all the other cases on display, didn't see any Heliums (although I wasn't looking for them) but they had 4 black airs left.
Thanks for the tip. Mission accomplished. I guess the people on the phone didn't even check the shelves. First impressions... Perfect fit no budge unlike the helium. You can feel that it's a bit wider than the helium but height and thickness are neglible. The power switch is very solid also, no wiggle unlike the first helium I received. This one is a keeper.
Yup, I just sent my Helium back today. The integrated buttons alone are worth it to me. Happy with this one.
Since Apples not going to increase display size, I have no interest in a 5S.
That extra time will allow me to get the full value out of my Mophie Air on my iP5. It's a great solution to the marginal battery life of the stock battery.
Perhaps in 2015 Apple will start innovating again. Or not

Air or Helium? The Air isn't even in the best buy SKU inventory system yet. Please post a SKU if you have one.
