My Mophie juice charger came in the mail today. Some random thoughts:
-Definitely not the most sleek or elegant looking device. It adds some bulk, weight and size to the iPhone. I felt like I was carrying my old Treo 700p around again. It's great as a standalone charger but it'll never replace my gorgeous (and functional) black Speck grip case.
-I noticed when I put my iPhone in the Mophie charger, the home button DOES NOT WORK. To wake up my iPhone, I have to hit the on/off button at the top of the phone. Also, when using any apps, you won't be able to return to the homescreen because the home button stops working. Has anyone else had this problem?
-I don't like how hard it is to get the iPhone OUT of the charger. I realize the idea is to get it to fasten securely but there should have been some mechanism that makes it easy to take the phone out of the charger.
Overall, I see my Mophie charger as strictly an emergency use type of device (like when there are no wall outlets available, or when I'm hiking or camping, etc) - IMO, it's definitely not a replacement for a bodycase for the iPhone when it comes to everyday functional use (ie: Speck, etc.).
