MiLi Power Skin
$69.95 alone
$79.95 with "Pocketpal" USB wall charger

- Attaches to your iPhone so you never forget it.

- Slimmer than the Mophie Juice Pack, but still bulky relative to the iPhone on its own.

- 1200 mAh LiIon battery good for one full charge on a dead iPhone.

- Uses a sturdier Mini USB as opposed to Micro USB connector.

- iPhone mute switch practically inaccessible.

- Requires no intervention to charge the iPhone; if it's connected, it's charging.

- We'd rather see an option to charge or not.

- Uses side-mounted LEDs to give a read on how much power you have left.

- Comes with the "Pocketpal" plug-in USB wall charger.
