Does what it's supposed to do!
This product is exactly what I was looking for. So far I can easily recharge my iPhone at least twice from a full charge on the battery pack. The pack itself is reasonably streamlined with the phone itself too. For the price, this is a great deal. Thanks.

iPhone 3GS / 3G Dock and External Battery Pack
This is a very useful accessory. However, the unit lasted little more than twelve months before it failed, a point when it was said to be out of guarantee.

Battery pack failure
I purchased this item in September to allow me to complete a round of golf using the well known Golf Pro app. Without the back up battery pack my iPhone would normally last about 10 holes, after attaching the back up pack I could finish a full 18 holes and the phone is still charging when I get back to the clubhouse.
Unfortunately, in February, the battery pack failed. It will no longer recharge itself and therefore is completely useless.
Replacement works the same as the original, when I first got it but I'm not gonna hold my breath!

Great item
This is a very useful device and works well, making the iPhone a lot more usable. It's a pity the original iPhone 3 battery is so poor, but that's another issue...
Delivery by Mobile Fun is first-rate. I ordered the device towards the end of the working day and it would have arrived next day had I been at home to receive it, so great service.
Thanks MobileFun!

Great Prize and super gizmo
For it's price this little gizmo is great. Always there to give me power and no white cables sticking out of the PC annoying the wife. But it has to be the Battery Pack which is the biggest hit. How often have we been travelling for work in a day and not been able to use apps on the train home due to the battery going. Now with this gadget I never worry, as power is always at hand.

Delivered very quickly, when you said it would be. Product worked perfectly straight out of the box. Enabled me to play 18 holes golf using Golfshot GPS, and still come in with 100% battery.

Great but not a perfect fit
Great product and great value for money. A dock, a mains charger and a spare battery all in one. Only problem for me is that the spare battery pack doesn't quite fit the 3rd generation ipod touch. But a piece of light sandpaper and a bit of patient rubbing got it just right.

Great piece of kit and Great Value too
If you're out and about away from mains power or you car charger you need this. Recharge at home and sync or just charge then when you go take the external battery pack with you. Plug in when your phone needs charging and bingo - off you go again. This not only allows you to carry on using the phone but will continue to recharge it too. IOS4 and multitasking, email push and iPod use no longer a problem with this baby.

Works perfectly - and is needed as the iPhone does eat battery power.
Only problem is you can't have a case on the phone when using the external battery.
You can however use one of the Griffin cases where the bottom comes off for charging

Fabulous item
Absolutely does what it says on the box. Stylish glossy black, solid and seems well made - just plug in and go! Also charges super fast, so will help juice the phone back up after a few draining rounds of Rise of Atlantis :o))

Great product But....
Works fine with my 3GS. But slot is perfectly shaped and sized to matched the iPhone WITHOUT a case. An extra millimetre would allow my iPhone to dock with the slim case. Five minutes work with my Dremmel tool and grinder bit and it fits. Not recommended unless you're good at carving plastic.

Perfect product and value for money!
This product is exactly what I needed. Charging my phone every night was a pain. My plug socket is too far from my bed to have my phone next to me which made waking up to the alarm over the other side of my room very frustrating! With this I can charge the emegency battery by day and stand my phone in it over night meaning it is charging without the need for a plug. As an extra bonus I have the emergency battery for use when I'm out and about.
The product is great and the delivery was excellent. Ordered Thursdy in the early evening and it arived Friday before lunch. Totally restored my faith in buying online after other websites had messed me around.
Well worth £20!

Invaluable power boost
As a dock, this does what you'd expect, with no frills or wow factor. However, the additional battery is invaluable for the power hungry iPhone, so this makes the product excellent value. The battery re-charges the phone relatively quickly and isn't too big to use the phone whilst it's attached. I wouldn't be without it.

Superb, and does work with the 3GS
This really is a great product, unbelievable really at this price. I use the dock nearly every day, and it's very handy to be able to grab the battery any time you need it.
Like others, I had the "Charging is not supported with this device" message on the 3GS, but unlike some reviews, the phone definitely was not charging while this message appeared.
What I've found is that if the battery is very low, the dock doesn't have enough power to charge both the battery and the iPhone at the same time, and that is what causes this problem.
There are plenty of easy workarounds though to get your phone charged:
- Just leave it, once the battery charges the iPhone will start.
- Remove the battery from the dock.
- Plug the iPhone into the battery while it's in the dock.
So, not perfect for the 3GS, but I find it's pretty rare that I need to charge both the phone and battery at the same time.

Brilliant Device
This has saved my day on several occasions now. The iPhone is a prodigous user of battery and this device allows more than one charge. Pity the version with the charge indicator isn't available.

Fast delivery but NOT comat with 1st gen iPhon
Delivery received within 24 hours - excellent service from obilefun,as usual. Unfortunately even after checking the web site and Emailing mobile fun to check, this product really is NOT compatible with the first generation iPhone! The original iPhone will not fit the external battery, as the shape is designed for the iPhone 3G. Perhaps it’s time to get a new iPhone as my battery life is pretty bad now. :-(

Iphone Dock and BatteryPack
Bought this just for the spare battery pack as I always run out of battery when I'm out but when it came I was amazed how well designed it was and how powerful the battery pack is it charges the new iphone within about half hour even when using your phone at the same time BRILLIANT

Good bit of kit
This is a great charger dock. The extra battery is a bit chunky when connected to the phone but it is really worthwhile if you are out and about for a while and you have nowhere to charge your iPhone.

Brilliant Product, Brilliant Price
This is a great product that comes with a dock which charges both the iPhone and the battery pack at the same time.
TIP: When connecting the 3GS sometimes it says "Charging is not compatible with this accessory" just ignore this message the phone is been charged it just might not show the charging indicator on the phone. Never had this message though when connecting the Battery Pack.
I have got 2 charges from the Battery Pack when my phone went down to 10% and there still seems to be more juice left in it! The dock can either be connected via USB to PC/MAC which charges and syncs the phone/battery pack at the same time or you can connect the dock via the USB cable to a "USB to Mains" plug which comes supplied as well!
Overall this is a great bit of kit, it doesn't feel cheap even though compared to just a standard Apple Dock it is! The Battery pack is great to keep in your car, bag, desk and is there for when you need it! Get this today you wont be disappointed!

BEWARE: NOT COMPATIBLE WITH 3GS
Despite claiming it is compatible with the 3GS it is NOT. The iPhone 3GS says "accessory not recognised" when attached.
MobileFun Reply:
The Dock and Battery pack work fine with the iPhone 3GS. The message that you see is fairly common with most iPhone accessories and doesn't interfere with the use of the product.

brilliant!
The desktop charger does what it should and does it well. The charger included in this pack is nothing short of amazing; I got MORE than a full charge from it, which is far more than I was expecting. The worries about power hungry iPhone applications are now a thing of the past, even on long bus/train journeys. Well done!
