Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone
One of the early concerns about the iPhone was battery life with the non-replaceable battery. While most of those concerns seem to have been allayed, I'm sure there are still folks out there that run their iPhones all the way down on a regular basis. For those people, the Mophie Juice Pack may be just what the doctor ordered. This external battery is like a slip case for the iPhone adding "up to [an] additional 8 hours" of talk time. The Juice Pack is itself charged by a Dock connector and intelligently supplies power to the iPhone so that the Juice Pack completely runs down itself before letting the iPhone switch to its internal battery.The Mophie Juice Pack is available for pre-order at $99.95 with an estimated ship date of Dec 21.

Cool, but what I really want is one of these with extra RAM, or a battery/RAM combo. (Yes, I know, that would require changes to the iPhone OS to see the extra RAM, and so is probably unlikely. But I can dream.)

Uhh.. Why is the dock connector so big. That portion of the case should be flush with the bottom of the phone.. It also looks too fat. There is a similar case I've seen for that crappy Upstage phone, but it appears to be better done than this.

The dock sticks up that way so that the speakers on the bottom of the iPhone are exposed. Click through and you can see what I mean.

they were very close . .they should have just made two holes on the bottom . . . seriously, i would have bought it if the iphone sits flush . . and if they could incorporate a stand into the back . .then BAM . . they got a winner . . . whoever approved the final design should be fired . . . YOU GUYS WERE SOOOO CLOSE . . .

@3- Hey if you're going to dream, may as well wish for a Battery/RAM/Copy-and-Paste Mophie...

on how to charge it,
I have a similar item for my ipod
the dock cable goes into the bottom of this thing and charges either the iphone or the external battery based on a switch
