Video Review: Fastmac TruePower iV

Rating: 8 out of 10
Pros:3100mAh battery triples your battery life, integrated flash, sync while iPhone is in case, additional USB port to simultaneously charge  another device, reasonable price
Cons: User needs to put in sync mode before sync will take place, would have like to see a little color on the unit, at times I forgot to turn the flash off so an auto off for the flash would be nice
Verdict: All around I am very impressed withe the TruePower iV from Fastmac.  At the same price as other case style batteries it provides 1/3 more power with the 3100mAh battery. It provides sync-ability as well as the ability to charge another USB device.  The integrated flash is really the icing on top. Not only does it make low light photos actually usable but also sharpens the photos that you “think” have enough light.  I also use the flash for checking in on the children late at night so I don’t have to turn all the house lights on. It adds a tad more bulk than it’s major competitor the Mophie juice pack but then again it integrates even more into the finished product.  A great product from Fastmac and I believe you will be happy with your purchase.

The TruePower iV is available from Fastmac and comes in 3 versions to power the original iPhone, the iPhone 3G as well as the iPod Touch and the price ranges from $79.95 to $99.95
