hey guys so today I'm here with a review of the mophie juice pack boost now this is an external battery for your iphone or your ipod and what just go through some of the pros and cons because there are a lot of good things with it there are also some pretty bad things with it so begin with let's just take a look at the design I know it's a pretty small device would just slide across here you'll see it's a not too not too big you know it's fairly thin fairly lightweight easily you know able to go ahead and slide into your pocket if you can see here there's actually a ring of soft touch plastic or maybe rubber whatever but soft touch material all the way around there's this you know kind of a silver plastic it's kind of a little cheap feeling but it's not terrible now you do you have a few different things here up front which I'll show you guys that minute it's how to go ahead and open up the 30-pin dock connector and go ahead and close it back up on the bottom here you do have a little ring where you can put it on your keys perhaps although I really couldn't can't see why you would ever do that but I suppose this is makes a little bit easier if you want to carry it but again you want do do want to be careful because this is not built the best which i will get to in just a second so flipping around on this side you'll see it does have a micro USB port this is solely used for charging the battery itself you know it does come with a USB cable and you know it charges so right here you'll actually see if we go ahead and click it on this shows the battery indicator now basically what this means is you know how full the battery is there are four different LEDs and as you're charging and everything it will go ahead and they will flash showing you just how bright and I mean that helped right but how charge the battery is one just show you guys the top here you'll see that this is the 30-pin dock connector but there's also a little LED light here so if we go ahead and hold this button for just a moment you'll see that we do have the loans a pretty decent flashlight owner I don't know how well you guys can see that but it's it's not amazing or anything but certainly good enough to go ahead and yom get you find your way around or if you need a real quick little flashlight now while we're here let me go ahead and show you one thing that I don't really like which is pretty much the build quality in general and that's clue sure how you out you can hear but it's fairly hollow mean it's lightweight but it does not feel you know very whole hell constructed I mean you know there's a little bit of give when I press on it and it just doesn't feel great and in addition when i'll go ahead and see i'm not so sure how well you guys can see this but when you go ahead and pull this in it just does not have the best action coming out it's not too bad but i mean if yeah i just i just really don't like the way that that action works but it hasn't broke yet um that's kind of a bit of a deal breaker to be honest though just because I mean yeah it really feels like it's grinding it feels like it won't be able to take too many of those more of those before it does break so that is definitely a pretty big downside however there are some good things i do want to go ahead and talk about so as far as the battery itself goes it's actually really quite good so connecting it to my ipod touch here i'm going just pull it into the shot catching it to my ipod touch well just gave me absolutely very very very fast charge times um you know really to be honest like I had my battery bout down to fifteen percent i plug this in about Oh 30 minutes later is up to about eighty percent so extremely fast charging a lot faster than what you probably will find in you know if you just hook it up to your computer so it's definitely a really cool thing another thing I do like is the portability of it you know it's it's pretty lightweight um you know it doesn't like I said it doesn't feel like it could take a whole lot of abuse but absolutely is really nice to go ahead and just have in your pocket and you know when you run out of battery during the day plug it in for a few minutes and you're good to go now there are actually two versions of this this one is the one with the fifteen hundred million power battery me also get one with a thousand million power battery the 1500 is good for about well it's going to depend on what ipod or iphone you have with my ipod touch 4th generation it pretty much bout matches the battery as close as i can tell you know by you know like want to run it all the way down charge it fully up then it's pretty much this this is going to be out of battery for iphone you probably will get probably around eighty percent charge which is not too bad I'm however with a thousand milliamp hour battery probably do quite a bit less than that so overall I think this is pretty cool now it is sixty dollars and just a little expensive for me just based on the build quality alone now I mean if this works just like they you know if it works really well as far as the build quality and the dock connector I mean Alan so you guys heard that that sounded terrible if it wasn't like that I'll absolutely have no problems recommending it even at the 60 odd price point however as it is I really just can't you know it's okay product it you know it works you know as far as the charging and time and the amount of battery it works great however I mean even a little flashlight that's just not enough to go ahead and deal with the pretty poor build quality however I do want to go ahead and thank mophie for going ahead and getting this to me for review and yeah you can go ahead if you are interested in more information check them out in the description of this video anyway guys thanks for watching
