    Mohpie Juice Pack Reserve

    I'm in the UK and only bought the product this week. I've only used it once to trial it on my iPhone4S.The phone was down to 1% and over the next 90 minutes it took the phone to 38% whilst being on standy-by and varying phone signal strength whilst travelling about. It cost me £29.95 and given the first go results I think it's good value. It seems too many people think it will give a full charge...no way, it's only 700mAh! An iPhone battery is about 1430mAh so if you get 40% increase then I think that's your limit. It's small and well designed. It says there are 3 stages to the LED charge signal but I've not checked it when the orange 'mid charge' LED is supposed to show, the green and red LED's showed when pushing the status button. If it had a bit more power, say 1000mAh, then I'd give it full marks.

    Good for a QUICK charge

    Just bought this today and so far i love the way it looks, the way it looks nice on my key chain, and the way it can fit with my case on it. Many people give bad review on this because they think it will give them a full 100% charge but really its for a quick emergency 20% - 30% charge. It's what you get for $35. 700mah. If you want a 100% charge you can buy the bigger one that is $50, 2000mah

    The plug for recharging is annoying: very hard to pry out. I used a small key to get it open. Not the key on the keyring since it would not reach around from the ring. After charging overnight I plugged it into my iphone and it didn't work. Returning Mophie PDQ.

    I purchased this as a backup for when I need a little extra power to make it through the day. Works great. Charge it and throw it in a backpack, coat pocket, whatever and you always have extra power handy.

    Charger doesn't work. I would have given it one star but the case is sturdy.

    Defective products!!

    I have an iPod Touch 4G for my kids and I wanted to get a battery pack when we are on the go. Unfortunately, this product is either not compatible with the iPod Touch, as stated on package, or the two batteries I have tried are both defective. Full charge on the Reserve and upon connecting to the iPod Touch, there is no battery symbol, no chirp, nothing.

    Done with Mophie.

    Not as expected, but still very convenient...

    When I first bought this product I was under the impression it held a whole iPhone charge, due to the size, I should have realized this wasn't the case. I have received an average of about 25% battery life increase, and due to it's size, this makes it convenient. It's compact and suffices for my needs. I also looked into the Mophie Juice Pack Powerstation, and ended up purchasing that also. The Juice Pack Reserve is perfect for my key-chain for when i'm in a jam. And for only $35.00 I would recommend it, I would rather be safe than sorry. =]

    Good for a boost

    Great little product. I have chargers at home, office, and car. But this is an added for the times when walking in the city, at a friends or at the beach, etc. It oes not give a full charge but when I plugged it in to a completely discharged iphone 4s it charges to 35% battery. Which is perfect until I get to another charger. There are other items that offer full charge but for my needs that was not necessary.

    I have the Mophie Juice pack pluce case and now just bought this I rated this 5 star because on how portable and small it is which is great. I travel a lot so don't need to worry about battery dieing on the plan now. I also like how it comes with a key chain plus and extra belt clip. I also like on how you don't even need the usb cable you can just plug it into your Iphone wall adapter and it will charge up like that to great deal.

    Very disappointing.

    I bought this to alleviate the need to bring my MacBook around simply so I could charge my iPhone. Just as another person had said, it had charged about 15% of my battery before the juice pack ran out of batteries. Rather disappointing.

    I realize that it says that it gives a 'little boost' to your battery, but 15% to me is too little for its price.

    Not holding a charge

    After charging the juice pack to full charge using its USB connector, it won't even charge my phone halfway before it's out of juice. I plugged it into my phone at about 20% battery left, and it got it to 34% before the juice pack was displaying a red LED light informing me that it needed to be plugged in. Either I'm doing something wrong, or this is a really bad product.

    Nice but...

    Due to the minimalist design there isn't enough protrusion of the connector to bypass cases.

    If you own an easily removable case this isn't an issue, if you own a vapor case like me then it doesn't work too well.

    Simple to use and works well. Good if you need extra power to get you by if out and not near a power outlet.
