Fresh From Our Lab: 3GJUICE’s “Just in Case”

August 13, 2009 by admin 

What is the best selling iPhone battery in Amazon.com? Now and then it’s ours and then I cheer loudly. But most of the time it’s a product of the well known brand Kensington. They make a very small battery of only 5.2 x 6 x 1.2 inches. It’s very popular.

by Henk van Ess,
CEO 3GJUICE.COM

Customers asked me over and over again if I could produce a similar device. A small battery with less then 1000 mAh for “Just in Case”.

Frankly, I wasn’t convinced. Why make a similar device? Kensington has one already.

But…. what if I could improve on what is already out there? What if I could make even a smaller battery? And wait a minute, what if I could include loop through so I can charge battery and phone/ iPod at the same time? And let Apple certificate it?

I teamed up with the great battery guru’s of U2O from Korea. They deliver the energy for the newest product of 3GJUICE:

3GJUICE “Just in Case”, Price: $34,95

So what’s new and different? First the size. It’s 2.4”x1.24”x0.68”. Yes really. It has roughly the same size as an AA battery, but can be recharged over and over again. Well to be specific: it is good for over 500 charges. After that it slowly looses maximum capacity as all li-on batteries will do. You plug “Just in Case” into your device. This product is compatible with all modern Apple players, except the Shuffle. And it blocks the earphone jack of the iPod touch and iPod nano. But, if you wait for an hour to charge your Touch/Nano, you have power to listen for many hours extra. Better that then no power at all.

It’s half as small as that great product from Kensington. Yes, really 50% smaller and almost the same mAh: 800 mAh.

That’s enough for:

- Up to two movies with your screen on maximum brightness.

- Listen to another dozen audio albums

- Have a never-ending call with your mother in law.

I managed to cram in three LED’s for (re)charging info. Due to technical reasons, the system is a little cryptic at first, but you will start to understand it after one or to charges. A small right side red LED glows during the charge. It turns blue when you’re done .It’s possible to charge your iPhone / iPod and 3GJUICE at the same time. Click the battery under your device. Charge it.  You will see the right red LED glowing. When your iPhone/ iPod and 3GJUICE is fully loaded, decipher the lights again. You will see, from left to right, two red LED’s and 1 blue LED. You’re done! Battery and iPhone/iPod are fully loaded.

Features:

1. Certified by Apple. With “Made for iPod” certification and “Works with iPhone”. Powered by U2O. It’s safe to use!

2. Charges immediately

3. Rechargeable thanks to included cable. Over 500 cycles!

4. With LED’s to indicate how much energy is left


5. Has loop through. Charge iPhone / iPod and “Just in Case” at the same time.

6. Smart technology protects battery from overcharging

7. Utterly small. With cap. Did I mention the weight? Only 1.2 ounces or 35 grams.

So where can you buy it? You can only buy it on Amazon.com as preorder in the US and not in Europe.  It will hit the streets in about 4 weeks (September 14th). I’ll keep you posted here. Or go to homepage and enter your mail address under eNews and Updates.

So now we have 3 batteries: “Just in Case”, “3GJUICE De Luxe” and “Major Mojo”. Which one is good for you? “Just in Case” has 800 mAha and is for people who need the smallest possible backup. It charges your iPhone or iPod another 30%.  3GJUICE De Luxe is 1800 mAh and also small. It charges your device 100%. Major Mojo is 5400 mAh and charges 250%. This one has not a 30 pin connector, but a cable.

A good all rounder is “3GJUICE De Luxe”. But if you need extreme power, go for Major Mojo. If it’s “Just in Case”, well you know what to choose then.
