Orange is now offering the Case Mate Fuel Lite, exclusively, for the iPhone range that it has recently started retailing. In case you were wondering, the accessory is both a case, and a charger – since it has a built-in battery.
The Fuel Lite is charged with a universal micro-USB charger, providing users with more flexibility in how they charge their devices – the Fuel Lite can be charged straight from the USB port of a laptop or PC or with a USB mains adaptor. The iPhone itself can be charged directly using the standard USB charger if it is left in the Fuel Lite when charging.
Once users get a warning that their iPhone battery is running low, they can simply activate the Fuel Lite battery pack to boost the charge in their iPhone. A typical iPhone 3GS will be boosted by:
- Talk time – up to 2 additional hours beyond standard iPhone battery life
- Internet use – up to 2 additional hours beyond standard iPhone battery life
- Video playback – up to 2.5 additional hours beyond standard iPhone battery life
- Audio playback – up to 5 additional hours beyond standard iPhone battery life
- Standby time – up to 150 additional hours beyond standard iPhone battery life
Costing £39.50, the Fuel Lite is compatible with the iPhone 3G 8GB, the iPhone 3GS 16GB and the iPhone 3GS 32GB. The Fuel Lite is available to iPhone customers on any network, exclusively from Orange retail stores on the high street as well as through www.orangeaccessories.co.uk
