that kensington charger is ok, but it adds length to the iphone, I found using another charger better, because it charged the iphone 4 times on one full charge, and can be recharged using a wall, usb cable, OR car adapter, and added width to the iphone instead of length.

under ichargers they have a couple different designs and colors.

At first glance i thought that fine piece of wonder bread was an accessory....and I was like..."wow apple, way to step it up. But isn't that illegal."....But the battery is cool 2 I guess.

My battery, for the iPhone, it's draining like crazy.... (I hope there's no leak, if there is, I need a tape to seal the battery leak)

But yes, a second battery attachment would be nice... (or maybe a third, or fourth, or etc, enough to keep my battery charged for at least 3 days with 3G talk)

Yeah when I buy a giant phone that hardly fits in my pocket... I usually run for the largest black piece of plastic I can shove into the bottom of it! lol good times. i'm so glad I love my blackberry and don't need to buy new things to be cool amongst my friends.

Actually there's a cool product from Duracell that is a portable USB charger that will recharge the iPhone and gives an extra 35 hours (!) when you use it connected to the iPhone, or so the manufacturer claims. Even if you don't actually use it connected to the iPhone, it's nice that it's so convenient to charge it up whenever it dies. You can see it here: http://www.duracelldirect.com/part_dr7000li.aspx
