It does whar it says on the box
I now charge my iphone 3GS, 3 times a week instead of every night, the only thing I have noticed, On the screen it says this charger is not compatable with this iphone, But it holds enough power for 3days, & it seems to be robust & strong, Compared with my old, Slimline case which kept braking. A Must for every iphone 3 user.IT DOES WHAT IT SAYS ON THE BOX, A Brilliant Buy.

i phone charging case
Excellent product , does exactly what is says. Very very handy for those times when you run out of battery , simply switch on the case and it charges ( get 1 1/2 full charges out of each time you charge the case ).

Exactly what I was looking for
Worth every penny, not only protects my phone brilliantly, but also gives me extra charge when I need it. Some of the write ups say that the camera hole is not big enough, I have not found this to be a problem.
However, as the case is leather, if anyone found the hole too small, it could easily be made wider, simples.

Very good except for the speakers
This is my second iPhone charging case after accidentally dropping my first one on a concrete floor and braking the case (my iPhone was undamaged so the case did it's job). Does not seem to work quite as well as my first one, charging the phone from the case battery seems to be erratic sometimes but this could the fault of my ancient iPhone as much as the case. Overall a great product especially if you have an old phone with a battery which is on the way out. The speakers are hopeless though, really tinny and not even very load, product would be better without them.

excellent
I bought the case after carefully reading the reviews online, on other sites for other models and on this one. one reviewer had done a lot more trial and error than me and his review ticked all the boxes so im very glad for this site's reviewing system in itself. I'll just say the iphone cover is simply excellent, doesnt impact on signal, works exactly as it should. And its got me keen on this company too for their service.

Improved battery life
The first one I received didn't charge the phone but I returned it (easy process) and my new one works a treat.
My phone which sometimes struggled to last a day now lasts 2 days without charge.
The cover is a bit bulky but not too much and does not obstuct the screen at all which is good.
Sometimes when switching to the auxillary battery I get a message saying accessory not supported but just need to try again a few more times.

Does the job
Nice strong case with leather flap at top. Phone fits nice and snug and charges in the case. Keep getting a message saying charging not compatible with this product but it does. Annoying beep every few minutes as power is taken from case but otherwise a good product.

Great help
I bought one of these battery boosters as I was fed up with the battery on my year old iPhone 3GS always failing half way through the day
The first one I bought had to be sent back as there was a fault with the red/green charging light
I contacted Mobile Fun and I was reassured this item would be replaced- which is was quickly and without fuss
My 'new' battery booster works well and the leather cover protects the phone from knocks etc
I leave my phone in the leather case as it's easy to charge- and when taking photos it's easy to keep the case flap away from the lens
All in all a very good product

Better than expected
Ordered on Sunday and received this morning, Tuesday, excellent service as usual. This battery pack is of good quality and with the inclusion of mini speakers which was not detailed in the sales pitch. Very pleased with this item.

Pretty Useful
I ordered this case after having used a Logic3 charging case on my iPhone since I first got it, looking rather tatty and worn, it was time for a replacement.
This case does what it says, it charges your iPhone when out and about. The quality of the case is reasonable and it takes a lot to push the iPhone home into the case so at least it won't drop out, the back part of the case is rubberised. The only part of this case that is leather is a flap that covers the front of the phone. There are some speakers on the back of the case which are useful to increase sound if you are not listening with a headset.

A bit big, and it wouldn't charge smoothly from a
The size isn't much of an issue, but you want it to charge smoothly. It goes on and off, making the phone vibrate or squeak on each time it comes on.

Great as a battery, crucial design flaws as a case
Having previously owned a Logic3 Iphone battery case for a year, which worked well as a protective case, but had the battery charge quickly drop from "just about one full charge" down to "barely gives 2% before dying", I was looking for a similar case design but more reliable battery.
Positives: This was the first battery case I found that uses Apple's own connection cable, saving the need to carry a separate mini or micro USB cable like every competing product.
Early tests of battery life are positive, allowing one and a half full charges.
Negatives: Unlike the Logic3 case, the case flips open from bottom-to-top, meaning the top flap often gets in the way whilst taking photos.
Also, the hole for the camera is too small, so any photos I take are silhouetted.
Worst of all though, the case seems too tight for my Iphone 3GS, meaning it often takes several minutes' forced effort to extract the phone from the case.

Well worth it
This is really good. I was looking for a flip case for my iphone and thought well this has charger too....i must say the charger is really useful especially on board our boat & just when I totally forget to charge the phone! The speakers really do make a difference & can be used in car. The downside is your phone can look like a brick but i'm assured its still cool as long as I don't answer the phone while its still in the case! good value.

well worth it!
This product is really useful, it keeps the iphone totally protected and has a built in charger which has been fantastic on board our boat and for little emergencies! The built in speakers are an added bonus and work well.
It does make your iphone look a little like a brick but it is still cool as long as you don't answer the phone while still in case!....but of course you do!LOL.

Charger worked for a few days then gave up
Good case and not too bulky.
Charger/Battery is good idea but doesn't seem to work very well. Initially, the charger/battery worked on and off the iPhone handset occasionally providing a warning that it isn't genuine charging accessory and won't change. That went to no warnings and no changing at all even if the battery/charger was fully recharged.
I'll give Mobilefun there due I returned it and asked for a full refund and they did so as soon as they received it - full marks to their customer service.
I have bought a number of accessories from Mobilefun and would buy again - may have been just unlucky in this occasion.

Excellent product
I bought this product for my boyfriend as he constantly complained about the battery life. I ordered it on Monday after 4pm and received it the folowing morning. The battery is excellent and the speakers are very good too. This product is good value for money.

Charger case
Although a pain in arse due to slightly increased size and non pocket friendliness the case has been invaluable due to the lack of battery staying power on the iphone, got me out of trouble on many occassions already! works well and good quality.

charging leather case
good value for money, have not used it until the battery has gone flat and have used it infrequently but it has served me well. As for the 4 hours do not doubt that it says it can do and the quality of finish is superb.

Well maybe not that small but not out of proportion.
I find this an excellent product and would recommend it to any iphone user.
So it takes a longer time to charge better than a flat iphone battery, also they can charge together.
No problems with my camera usage, the pictures are normal.
5 stars

Just my opinion
Pro - looks good, feels good and charges well.
Cons - camera aperture too small, all picture have a rounded effect! Have to take phone out of the case to use camera.
I found that it took between 8-12 hours to charge.
A good idea, but not really fit for purpose.

I Phone battery case
As always with Mobile Fun, first class product and service. Placed the order 4pm one day and arrived 8.45 the next day.The product is excellent, does what it says and the quality is excellent.I am a big fan of the I Phone, but the battery performance is rubbish, this case and battery pack is just what I have been looking for and at a sensible price. Would not hesitate to use this company again.

I-phone Case + Charger
Product is neat and not large or heavy. The case is integral with charger so the I-phone receives additional charging beyond its own capacity. Has a flip up hard cover so good for protecting screen whilst retaining usability.

Best feature combination for business traveller
I looked for a long time at iPhone battery extenders and particularly wanted one that came as a case around the phone rather than attached with a cable. On reading reviews of many battery-in-case types of device however there often appears to be a caveat by having the battery surround the phone it can lead to reduced signal strength/poor reception.. I'm really pleased to say that the design of this extender seems to keep the battery away from the antenna region and thereby hasn't affected signal strength in any way. The battery capacity is also pretty good - from first impression it seems to double the phone's normal capability. It has a great look and feel - aesthetically it is top quality and I also like the fact that the design protects the phone's screen when stowed. Frankly I don't know how they do it for the price. Finally top marks to MobileFun - I placed my order late Friday afternoon, got a text 2 hours later to say it had been despatched and took delivery next morning. Amazing!

Outstanding Product & Seller
A much needed and fantastic accessory for the 3GS Iphone. Solid, well made and gives all round protection for the phone. Bonus of having a back power source in the casing. You will be surplised who much this comes in handy, Does everything it states in the advert. Credit goes to MobileFun, came within 3 days of ordering! No fuss no hassle and would definitely use them again. 5 stars out of 5 for product and Seller. Total Reliability all round!
