This UNU Battery Case Adds Power And Style Without Sacrificing Practicality [Review]

Simple upon a outside…

This is a uNu Ex-Era battery box for iPhone 4 as well as 4S. It offers a grade of coherence we won’t find in many alternative battery cases, yet which coherence comes with a obstacle – namely which a box doesn’t feel as clever as a small of a reduction stretchable rivals. But we can’t have everything, all a time.

The box comes in no reduction than 4 sections. You don’t have to lift all of them around with we all a time, as well as usually 3 of them have been essentially in operate during any a single time. Let’s take a closer demeanour during them.

First, there’s a first connector plate. This is a necessary core of a case. Your phone slides in to it from a top, as well as attaches to a wharf connector during a bottom.

This core image is organic though not decorative. Over a front of your phone, we can shave upon a bumper. These come in a operation of 8 colors to fit your style.

… crafty upon a inside

Finally, there’s a at a at a back of of image which attaches over a at a at a back of of of a phone. In actuality there have been dual – a single is a unequivocally slim cosmetic cover. The second is battery pack, which we can slip upon during any time to give your phone’s built-in battery a boost. You should finish up with about stand in your normal battery life.

Even a battery itself is replaceable inside a pack, so if we wish to lift additional batteries around as well as reinstate them unequivocally quickly, we can do that.

The Good

This box is all about choice. If you’re usually starting out for a couple of hours as well as won’t need an additional battery, slip upon a slim at a at a back of of image as well as leave it behind. It usually takes a couple of seconds to have a switch.

The subsequent day, if you’ll be roving as well as awaiting to operate a lot of mobile data, we can slip upon a battery container as well as turn upon it when a need arises (there’s an on/off symbol for this).

The core image is excellent. The phone is reason resolutely as well as completely here. You have to lift utterly tough to mislay it, in fact. The at a at a back of of battery container as a good well-spoken hardness as well as winding form, creation it feel gentle to reason in your palm notwithstanding a additional size. Even with this attached, we was still means to put a phone in my front jeans slot though any discomfort.

The Bad

There’s not a lot to find error with. The colored corner bands feel groundless in a hand, though once they’re clipped upon to a phone they sincerely resolutely attached. But they’re additionally crisp to a hold – if we forsaken my phone upon a tough surface, we be endangered about how most insurance they’d essentially provide.

I was primarily endangered which a at a at a back of of plates were not trustworthy resolutely sufficient – a tie doesn’t feel which strong. But during a days we tested a unit, conjunction a musical image nor a battery container came off though my wanting them to.

The battery unit’s on/off switch is feeble positioned, in my opinion. It’s easy to turn upon by accident. Twice, we had a phone in my at a at a back of of slot as well as listened it switch in to charging mode as we sat down.

The Verdict

Overall this is a good small box for any one who wants leisure to operate a battery when they need to, or to leave it at a at a back of of when they don’t.

Of march a upshot is which we competence finish up carrying a battery around with we nonetheless, since life’s bustling as well as we never unequivocally know when you’re starting to need which additional energy boost.

The box looks smart, though I’m endangered which in a prolonged tenure it competence uncover scratches. Like all firm cosmetic cases, it doesn’t yield a same arrange of dump insurance which we get from a rubberized accumulation – though afterwards those have been most bulkier.

For which reason, we wouldn’t suggest this box for people with an active, outdoorsy lifestyle. But for ubiquitous use, it offers a decent change in between security, coherence as well as style. The cost is in accord with too: $79.95.
