First look: Exogear ExoLife battery case for iPhone 4

One of the more eagerly anticipated accessories for just about any new phone is an extended-life battery case. One of the first out of the gate for the new iPhone 4 is the Exogear ExoLife rechargeable battery case (US$89.95). It's only available for pre-order at this time, but is expected to start shipping on July 30.

The ExoLife has several features that should make iPhone 4 owners clamor for it -- a 1500-mAh Lithium-ion polymer battery that should be able to recharge the phone once, a hard polycarbonate shell to keep your baby from getting scratched and dented, a regular USB 2.0 to micro-USB cable for charging and syncing, and something called ExoClear technology to help you avoid the dreaded Grip of Death.

The ExoLife also has a feature to turn off the battery when it's not being used, as well as a thin blue LED battery meter on the back. As you can see in the photo above, the case is relatively sleek as battery cases go, and looks pretty nice to me, although your personal preference may vary, of course.

Exogear plans on having the black model seen above shipping by July 30th, and a white model will follow by September 30th. The ExoLife will be perfect for running TrailGuru on my iPhone 4 when I'm doing long hikes or bike rides, so I'll be anxious to see one soon.

At less than $9 each they work like a charm. I used these with my 3GS and now with my iPhone 4. 90% charge from one of them. Great for long bike rides where I am tracking my rout with various GPS apps.

Every iPhone user is very keen to get amazing accessories with his iPhone. Manufacturing companies also know the eagerness and they continuously launching new and exciting accessories.The selection of an case for an iPhone is a matter of requirement and priorities. Luckily, there is no paucity of options available.

Has TUAW ever reviewed the Nextware Battery Crank? I'm thinking about getting it but I would like to know how much cranks is required for a 1 hour of music playtime.

It is not available everywhere but I think it's nice how it's more eco-friendly.

I have tried a different battery extending case on my 3gs and if you want to talk about lost reception and bar decline that case was the worst! Hopefully this one won't interfere in the already screwed signal strength
