Mophie Juice Pack air - iPhone 3G

Ok, first impressions of my new Mophie Juice Pack air - iPhone 3G after 1 day of use:

-A little bulky but feels nice in my hand and actually doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

-Looks a bit like a marshmallow but I like marshmallows :)

-battery life IS in fact double... I used my phone all day on wifi and didn't even use up the juice in the case so my internal iPhone was battery was still completely full!

-I really like having the extra battery life since I use the 3G network or wifi all day. This will be especially useful when I travel.

-I haven't dropped the phone yet but the case is solid and should survive a nice bounce off my garage floor.

-Power indicator on back of case is useful

-Only wish is that they made it waterproof :) haha
