Incipio offGRID Universal Backup Battery 1 Port 3000mAh for iPod, iPhone and iPad - Black (PW-110)

The Good: It does what it says it does.

The Bad: It could be a little high quality:

1. The AC prongs are hard to flip out without help (e.g. a pen or key or anything else to grab/pry). Smaller fingers may have a better time, but my fat fingers can't get in the spot they prongs sit to pull them out. (Really not a big deal, as anything narrow-ish can get them out easily).

2. The USB ports could be deeper, firmer, and better constructed. They work, usually without effort. However, there are certain orientations where the connection fails (usually if there's a little tension on the cord, like if you have a self coiling cable and the plastic thing in the middle of the cable is pulling on the cord a little).

The OK and not their fault:

You should understand that this will charge a modern smart-phone battery about 75%. It's not even a full second battery, but this is what's advertised, and for many people (like me) it's fine.

Other thoughts:

I prefer it to an extended battery because 90% of the time I only really need the standard battery, and don't want to walk around with the extra large version.

I forget what I paid for it, but it seems like it was fairly inexpensive, and at that, it's a nice little tool.

The Incipio Technologies 2-port Universal Backup Battery Charger arrived on time from the vendor. The product worked as described. I had expected that it would hold greater than one charge. However, I must admit that I did not read anything in the specification or literature as to how many charges would be provided by this device. I had also purchased a spare battery for my Samsung Captivate. So far, I have found it to be more convenient to install a freshly charged battery rather than to recharge my battery with the Universal Backup Battery Charger. Consequently, I use this product as my backup battery if and when I have used the spare battery. It takes about the same amount of time to charge a discharged battery as my wall charger and I am able to use my phone while it is charging.
