One of the many complaints leveled at the iPhone design is the closed case, with no user-serviceable batteries. This has spawned multiple cases with inbuilt power supplies for extending the iPhone’s sometimes anaemic battery life. Granted the iPhone 4 is a great improvement over past models in the power department, but every little helps. But what if you don’t want a case with the added bulk of a battery?
With many put off of traditional battery-increasing cases by their bulk, the Third Rail case and smart battery offer a great alternative to carrying around a power cord and sticking near a power outlet.
