My wife has a Verizon iPhone 4S and I've pretty much given up on trying to tweak it for better battery life. She complains about it constantly. The most recent complaint is that it turns off before the battery shows that it's completely depleted. I'm tempted to replace the battery, though it's only about a year and a half old.
As a stopgap measure, I'm thinking about picking up one of these external battery cases they make. It seems like the top dog is the Morphie Juice Pack Plus, and I like that I can get it in purple, which is her favorite color. Are there any other units I should consider? Key criteria are that it has to be easy to use and it has to allow some kind of passthrough for the dock connector, since she uses it constantly in her car with iPod integration.
Assuming everyone agrees that the Morphie is a good pick, does anyone know where I can pick up a genuine unit at a good price? I see Amazon has it out there for $89 in purple, but it comes from a third party seller (fulfilled by Amazon), which is kind of concerning as I've heard many people complain of counterfeit units that are nearly indiscernible from the real model, though they are not built as well.
Any thoughts or opinions would be greatly appreciated.
