Tidbits: Smartphone Battery Sleeves

These handy accessories should not go unnoticed and “my phone went dead” are words that should no longer be uttered by you … so long as you own an iPhone, Blackberry, Android, Samsung Galaxy S II, or HTC.

Power sleeves are available to accompany your phone when a power outlet is not easily accessible. PowerSkin battery (pictured right) is a neat silicon skinned case which promises 1500mAh and up to eight hours of added battery life. You are completely covered so long as you can avoid getting stranded in an elevator for the weekend or some island. The PowerSkin is avaiable for the Samsung Galaxy S II, HTC  (HTC Inspire 4G and the HTC Desire), Droids, iPhone 4, and BlackBerry (Bold and Curve) on Amazon.com.

The iPhones – 4, and 4s – are pretty much covered but we suggest the juice pack air by Mophie (pictured left). The juice pack air is amazingly thin, slick design (so it’s not an eye sore), and will even enhance the sound on your iPhone. This will set you back about $80 on mophie.com.
