Incase Power Slider for iPhone 3G doubles the juice, lets you sync

Been cursing your iPhone 3G's disappointing battery life? Don't have the heart to saddle the thing with that big ol' Juice Pack? The Power Slider by Incase promises to double your phone's power for up to 5 hours talk time on the 3G network (10 hours on 2G), increase your audio playback time to 26 hours, and increase your video playback time to 7 hours. If that wasn't enough, the iPhone can be left in the case while you sync it -- saving wear and tear on the case and on your phone. While the Slider isn't as svelte as your raw, naked iPhone, at the very least it manages to keep roughly the same shape (even if it does fatten it up quite a bit). No pricing yet, should be available starting November 28.

Looks like a decent solution. I could keep two in the glove compartment and one at the office.
Wouldn't it be funny if they neglected to mention that it makes your iPhone weigh 14 pounds?!?

Looks sweet. If it's rubberized even better. Hey do you guys know if you can lock your 3G iphone to EDGE?

im a new iphone user, but i believe all you have to do is turn off the 3G in the settings of your phone.

Ah yes I think you're right. You could potentially get some serious battery life with this and 3G off. 3 days minimum I'm thinking. And what looks like the benefit os a mini USB charging port.
