Top Six iPhone Accessories 6

Best Backup Battery:

mStation mophie

One big issue with the iPhone is its battery life: You usually have to charge the thing every night, and the lack of a user replacable battery makes things even worse (Apple will charge you $85 to do it themselves). Thankfully, mStation's mophie $99.99 juice pack battery extender comes 'pre-charged' with an additional 250 hours of standby time, 8 hours of talk time, 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback, and 24 hours of audio playback (those are all "up to" numbers -- actual time may vary). It's ready to go straight out of the package, housing its rechargeable lithium polymer battery within an ergonomic, soft, non-slip case. The juice pack also integrates a 4 LED 'charge status' indicator and its own 30-pin dock connector, making it easy to recharge your juice pack using the cable included with your iPhone. It adds a bit of bulk, certainly, but when you need battery life, it's a small price to pay.
