Mophie Juice Pack Boost
Posted by Lester Chan at 08:28 in Battery

Bought the Mophie Juice Pack Boost from Apple (Singapore) Online Store for SGD$69.90. I can’t seem to find it in any Authorized Apple Reseller stores in Singapore. Instead they are still selling the older model, the one with 1,500mAh battery (Amazon Link) instead of this 2,000mAh one.

The Mophie Juice Pack Boost is bigger and much lighter than it looks. I was expecting it to be more compact in size and heavier, but surprising it is lighter than any of my Eneloop Chargers that I bring along in my bag whenever I am out (which is a good thing).

Another advantage of the Mophie Juice Pack Boost is the built-in Apple 30-pin dock connector‎ and hence you do not need to carry an extra Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable along with your backup battery which normally allows you to charge via USB port.

As mentioned earlier, the battery in the Mophie Juice Pack Boost has a capacity of 2,000mAh and this allows you to fully charge any iPod/iPhone models even if the battery is totally empty in your device.

It does charge your iPad but at an extremely slow rate since it only output a maximum of 1A. The iPad requires at least 2.1A for a proper charge.

The Mophie Juice Pack Boost also acts like a dock which holds your iPhone upright while it charges (see the last picture embedded in the post).

Bluelounge Sumo
Posted by Lester Chan at 08:31 in Bluelounge, Cable

Bluelounge Sumo is a cable holder/anchor which prevents cable from falling back to the floor when placed near the edge of the table. The concept is similar to Heckler Design OneLessDrop.

I am using it to anchor my LAN cable that I placed on my desk. The Bluelounge Sumo cost USD$11.95 (SGD$15.13).

Bluelounge Milo
Posted by Lester Chan at 08:43 in Bluelounge, Case, Dock & Bag

Bluelounge Milo is a mobile phone stand but with a twist! It has a micro suction area that allows you to place your mobile phone in any desired angle! For my case, if I am resting my iPhone on it vertically, it just leans against the back. However, I also can place it horizontally because the micro suction will hold on my iPhone without the need for it to rest of any base.

The Bluelounge Milo cost USD$14.95 (SGD$18.90).

Bluelounge Kicks
Posted by Lester Chan at 08:33 in Bluelounge, Gadget

Bluelounge Kicks is a small, thin, silicone-rubber rails that prevent your iPad from slipping, scratching and damage. Once it is applied, you can lean your iPad 2 against the edge of your table while you rest the iPad on your lap.

The rubber rails provide a better grip against the edge of the table and hence providing you a fix and stable position while you read you ebooks or surf the Internet on your iPad.

For me instead of sticking directly onto my iPad 2, I stick it on my iPad 2′s SwitchEasy CoverBuddy case.

I placed my order on the 17th October 2011 and I received it on 26th October 2011. It costs USD$11.95 (SGD$15.13) and I paid USD$27.75 (SGD$35.12) for shipping via USPS (Priority Mail International) together with my Bluelounge Milo and Bluelounge Sumo.

Apple iPhone Micro USB Adapter
Posted by Lester Chan at 09:44 in Apple, Gadget

The Apple iPhone Micro USB Adapter is currently only being sold in the UK Apple Stores (both online and retail) for £8.00 (SGD$16.23).

I bought it from the Apple Store at Regent Street when I was there in London for Nokia World 2011. I think it is a good gift to give to people who are Apple fans because you can’t get it anywhere else in the world!
