Mophie adapts Juice Pack Air for Verizon iPhone 4

By Adam Milgrom February 9, 2011

Mophie’s much-lauded external rechargeable battery case for the iPhone, the Juice Pack Air, will soon be available for the Verizon iPhone 4.

For this new model, Mophie has made the Juice Pack Air fit both the AT&T and Verizon iPhone 4, so if you soon find yourself picking one up at the store, it’s unlikely you’ll grab the wrong model and have to make an exchange. It can be pre-ordered now at Mophie’s homepage for $79.95 with an expected ship date of Monday, February 28. The AT&T version, which has been available for some time, has received positive marks for being extremely lightweight (weighing in at 2.5 ounces) and ultra-thin (adding 0.68 inches), and virtually doubling the battery life of a single charge. For a hands-on review, check out our video review of the Juice Pack Air for the iPhone 3G S.

Design highlights include:

Soft-touch, rubberized black exterior with brushed silver band, mirroring the aesthetic of the iPhone 4 itself (a red and glossy white version is expected in late March)
Provides traditional “case” protections against bumps, bruises & scrapes, etc.
1500mAh rechargeable lithium polymer battery
Design that “acts as a virtual speaker box, redirecting sound from the bottom of the iPhone 4 to the front, resulting in a richer, fuller sound quality”
4 LED integrated status indicator tells you exactly how much “juice” is left and how much time remains in the charging process
Standby-charging toggle switch to limit using the juice when you don’t need it
Access to the USB port to sync and charge your iPhone 4 while the case is on

Mophie has been making these cases for some time now, touting over 1 million Juice Packs sold to date, which have been produced for every form factor of iPhone and iPod Touch, and was dubbed the first ever Apple-certified “Works With iPhone” battery case. But of course, it’s not the only one. Check out these alternatives:

Energizer AP1201 for $69.99
ExoGear Exolife for $89.95
Tekkeon myPower for $79.95
Case-Mate Fuel Lite and Fuel Max for $59.99 and $99.99, respectively

Apple AirTags are a helpful tool for tracking valuable possessions like wallets, keys, luggage, and backpacks. These tags employ various technologies that allow you to track your items from short and long distances using your compatible Apple device, such as an iPhone 15 Plus. You might wonder how far you can track your items with AirTags. It's time to find out.
AirTags range, explained

The range of AirTags varies depending on the method you use to locate them. A Bluetooth connection will work when your AirTags are close to your supported Apple device. Otherwise, Apple's Find My network is utilized. Luckily, you don't have to choose the method because it's selected behind the scenes automatically.

Nomad’s new iPhone case and Apple Watch band may be its coolest yet

Nomad Glow 2.0 Sport Case and Apple Watch Sport Band in daylight.

Though the world of Apple accessories is a dime a dozen, one of the better brands that you can buy is Nomad. Nomad has a variety of amazing leather Apple Watch bands and cases, as well as non-leather options, too. In August 2023, Nomad released a one-of-a-kind Glow in the Dark Apple Watch band that sold out in about 12 hours.

Since that Glow in the Dark band was a limited edition, no one was sure if Nomad was going to re-release it, and this explains the high resale prices you’ll find on eBay. But Nomad just released the Glow 2.0 Apple Watch Sport Band as well as a new Glow 2.0 Sport Case for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max. And, yes, they're just as wonderful as before.
