For the first time about this accessory, I read on one site, at the same time and felt an urge to buy it and try a case. Moreover, this desire has been justified not only the beauty of things, but also an issue. The fact is that with the help of his 3G, I check the mail. No, rather not say - there is an automatic check of the three mailboxes, one of which is connected to MobileMe. Also, I read a lot. And listening to music. And play games. As a result, forced to admit the sad fact: sometimes a fully charged phone is already in the evening complaining about twenty percent of the charge. More than once happened that morning had to rearrange SIM cards in more than a loaded machine - remember to periodically plug the iPhone in the cradle. In general, Mophi Juice Pack was supposed to save the situation. Especially, I am extremely attracted by the opportunity to solve two problems at once: and to increase working time, and get a pretty nice case. Both problems were not resolved.
I'm walking, so the 30 th December Gorbushka. People - the darkness. I bought a game for the PS3, filmikov, rubbish, look at the contents of the tents ... Bah, this is it. Instantly buy, it was interesting that, according to the seller, these cases were brought up in the morning, he was not even aware that this is the battery. The price was normal - three thousand (slightly more than the "parent" site), immediately put the iPhone in MJP and ran for more. Already in the subway realized that he had bought the charger option is not for iPhone 3G, but for the first generation. First, the phone hardly got into the case. Secondly, you will see a strange spot, after removing the device is lost. Third, the sound disappeared in the dynamics, only worked vibration and sound in the headset at first, too, disappeared, helped reconnect. In addition, when you connect your iPhone to instantly receive a message that the accessory is not supported, it was suggested to disable the phone part. I disagree. Once home, the "charge" in the MJP old iPhone ... But first let me tell you about the device a little more.
Experiments with external battery for iPhone continues for a long time, our site is an overview of such a thing is, if I may say so, the first experiments. Were the experiments of another kind, but until MJP they were clumsy, ugly, pretty unit increased in size. Or long or wide. To some extent at the moment MJP is the most beautiful accessory of this kind. In fact, a thick cover in which you insert the iPhone, the phone is inserted, you can not be afraid. The battery covers the ends of the device and the rear panel, leaving open the display chamber, the upper end - access to all buttons open, no problem.MJP made of plastic with a velvety coating on the sides are made of rubber inserts - protection from slipping.
And here we should note the following. Yes, MJP very carefully done and, as a glove fits the iPhone. But you must understand that the apparatus itself becomes thicker and almost twice as many heavier. Official photographs will not give the thrill of this colossus - in your hands as if the phone will be out of the past. Or some sort of military thing. I should add here that the coloring accessory is interesting from the outside is black (or dark gray, I can not understand) from the inside - an acid-yellow in color tone of the battery indicator in the menu of the phone (in the locked position). Interesting colors, when the iPhone inside, you see the green bits at the bottom, it looks original. At the rear of the accessory is the charging indicator, pressing the button, you can see the battery charge level. Also diodes are lit while charging, informing you that, but when it ends.
At the bottom there is the usual "ipodovsky" connector for charging, you can top up the charge of MJP as using a network storage and data cable. In the latter case it would have to spend more than four hours, the network battery is fully charged in about three hours (approximately).Accordingly, in the version for the iPhone 3G connection other than the usual microUSB. But not only that distinguishes Case for iPhone 3G, he just is not bright acid insertions, rather, they are not visible, you can see here. Like I said above, there are - and let them, but my friend spoke very critically, they say, why then this "acid", could just make a solid case and no wonder. Partly agree with that, fans of the strict dress green underside may scare.
Go ahead. On the "back" of the device is charging indicator, there is a button and the four diodes. If the accessory is fully charged, all four are lit, if it's time to connect to the network - Flashing only one "division". Interesting stuff sometimes say fans of Apple, they say, the first indicator of battery charge appeared on the updated MacBook laptops and MacBook Pro. Although these indicators were placed on Notebook Batteries from time immemorial, there is true, for Apple the lead in placing the system directly to the body. In general, an indicator of MJP are fully and properly behaved. I note that while charging the first three divisions are filled quickly, but the last moment for a long time, sometimes more than an hour. And can be recharged from the mains (for example, with an adapter from the iPhone), and from a laptop in the latter case, get ready for a very long wait. As stated by the manufacturer, accessory capable of adding to the time of the iPhone 2G two hundred and fifty hours of off-line, twenty-four hours of music playback, eight hours of talk time, seven hours of video. Total MJP can withstand five hundred charge cycles, even if you do it every day, enough stuff for one and a half years. For the "cycle" means every connection to a power source, regardless of the charging time. If we talk about the version of an accessory for iPhone 3G, it adds three hundred fifty hours of standby time, six or twelve hours of talk time (depending on the network, 3G or 2G), twenty-eight hours of music. Magic numbers, is not it?
In general, if you look at veshchichki on the store shelf, or read the review, then downright magic of some sort. But, alas, in reality it was not the case. I am increasingly convinced that the normal accessories for their equipment can only do very Apple, they will be fully compatible, will be good and reliable. Say, that's using now new in-ear headphones, well, just a miracle. Even if they like the headset with the iPhone will not work. The company apparently did not want to pulverize and do not want to "pinch" of many different manufacturers of supplements. Of which, however, only a few can be called truly suitable, worthy, beautiful, and so on. It's like with the software for the iPhone, digging in the App Store, keep repeating to yourself the saying "The Rose among the manure, but it still must be found. So, if we talk about MJP, it is almost a rose. Few, though, strange. I hooked it to the iPhone 2G. Messages that avoid the problems we ought to switch to the "air-mode" downright fell over the edge. No reboot helped, either switch to "silent" mode, nothing. Rained and rained, though burst. Thought that it would be necessary to go to change the accessory, who knows what. Went, has changed - the story is the same. Met with a friend, tried with his iPhone 2G - exactly the same story.However, judging by the articles in Western publications, people all well and fine. True, there are mainly about MJP for iPhone 3G, will have to buy it and try.
The hours of work. I decided to do a simple experiment. Translating the same machine in flight mode, I finally got the battery is depleted to ten percent, I still quite fresh machine, the battery is not "downtrodden". Put it in a fully charged MJP and waited, along listening to music, notes popisyvaya yes on the calendar every note. Time passed, somewhere an hour and a half filled with light, charging icon has disappeared. A clever trick, after the charge off, it's good. Checked the charge indicator - there were two divisions. If the rough, it will suffice for a single charge. This can not but rejoice. Capacity of batteries I can not find.
Conclusions may be? When buying a home, do not run happily without even opening the box. Even if we bring accessory hurrying on messenger, you pick the upakovochku yes MJP connect to its "ayfonchiku. And watch at least a little of the work unit. I can not recommend it for purchase is not watching the very thing itself is peculiar, I can say so, based on experiences from the use of iPhone 2G, what's up with 3G - remains to be seen. Frankly, I suffered a disappointment, so was hoping ... Sizes still high, although the materials are good, but thicker than doubled. For someone already thickness becomes a reason not to look at this device.
