iPhone case offers power and protection

Only now available in the UK the iPow External Battery Case combines a protective case with a battery recharge pack to keep your first generation iPhone working on your travels.

The leather flip case protects your device whilst the integrated battery doubles the power capacity. The case also incorporates mini stereo speakers so you can enjoy your music a little louder in the right situation.


The case's integrated lithium ion battery can be simultaneously recharged with the phone. The standard iPhone battery currently allows up to 8 hours talk time, 7 hours of video playback, 6 hours of web access or 24 hours listening time. The iPow can double these.

The case weighs 98g and is hard-backed to protect your device and the leather front gives a sleek finish. There's apertures in the appropriate areas for use of the camera and access to iPhone controls.

The iPow costs 49.99 and is available from selected high streets stores and Twisted Carbon. A version for the iPhone 3G is promised "soon".
