The iPhoneck battery is designed to snap onto the end of the iPhone, effectively becoming an extension of the handset. At 2.4 inches by 0.48 inch, it's just as wide and just as trim as the iPhone 3G so it won't add extra girth on either side. It will add an extra 2.2 inches in length, but the battery is so light that we hardly noticed the difference when the two devices were connected. The fit between the iPhone 3G and the battery is relatively secure, though we'd prefer to see some kind of release switch.
To charge the iPhoneck, just plug your iPhone 3G cable into the battery's charger port. You should allow about an hour to power the battery fully (the status light will let you know when it's ready to go). In our tests, however, we noticed that the charging process took a bit less time. After the charging process is complete, connect the battery to the iPhone and let it do its work. It's very easy to use.
Though the standard battery won't charge a dead iPhone completely, it will deliver enough juice to keep you going for awhile. iPhoneck promises that its product will deliver up to three hours of talk time, up to three hours of video playback, up to five hours of music playback, and up to four hours of Internet browsing.
