    Amazing Product!

    • Written by from Duluth

    I bought mine at the Apple Store, I can guarantee you that you won't regret buying this! Sure it might charge a tiny bit slow, but for it's size it sure does pack a punch. If you constantly find yourself out with your friends and your iPhone/iPad dies then this is the gadget for you! It will give you about a 40%-65% battery boost based on how many things you have running at once on your iOS device. The USB cable folds up inside of the product, and it has 4 lights that indicate low full or low the battery is. I would recommend that you only use this if you completely drain the battery then charge it all the way up, and then drain it all the way etc... All in all this is a very good product and is well worth the price.

    Life Saver

    • Written by from Industry

    This battery saved me several times during my business trip. Slim to carry and delivers what the product description states. Perfect backup battery.

    Good at first but won't last

    • Written by from SAN MATEO

    I had two and both die on me in a short period of time. My first device worked for 2 months then it stopped working, it would not charge my iPhone 4, I got it replaced with its warranty and the second one stopped working too.

    Bought It, Tried It, Threw It Away -- Not Worth Buying For My Use

    • Written by from SALT LAKE CITY

    I thought I had carefully considered the purchase. I read all the info online, and on Kensington's website. I plugged the very short cord into my iPhone charger -- and it took over an hour to increase the charge on my iPhone by 20%. I attached my iPhone and plugged the very short USB cord into my PC -- and also used an extension USB cord into my PC -- but in neither case could I get my PC to recognize the iPhone (using iTunes). Bought an Apple docking charger and used the USB cord that came with my iPhone -- WORKS GREAT!

    Love it!!

    • Written by from Mumbai

    Its quite a useful product. Pretty small... can fit in to your handbag is very very handy when the phone is low on battery.

    it doesn take a long time to charge it self, but i wouldn't consider that a minus.

    it works wonderfully even as a stand for your ifone. Super buy

    Terrible

    • Written by from Miramar

    It was terrible, the reason is because I bought it a year ago and it broke about 1 month later. Every time I try charging it, it for some reason wont charge. I would rather buy the mophie charger case.

    Not convenient!

    • Written by from San Gabriel

    This dock is flimsy. The dock needs to have some weight so that docking would be effortless. This dock is so light. The only good thing about it is the backup battery and its indicator light. Overall I don't recommend this product.

    Looks good but cannot use on iMacs

    • Written by from Singapore

    While this dock looks good and might seem like its got good features, its short USB cable stops it from being a functional product. I tried using a USB extension and it just doesn't detect the iPhone, it only charges. I connected it to the iMac directly and you can imagine how long I stood behind it, holding the dock while it finishes syncing. Bottomline, this is only for Macbooks or laptops, not iMacs or desktops.
