Excellent Product
(4 out of 5) by tzm on Aug 31, 2008 (NYC)Pros -
Works as advertised.
Charges 3G in less then 2.5 hours while using it with 3G and GPS running at times.
Slick design. Comes with a protective cover and fits easily in your pocket.
Sits flush against the base of iPhone.
I researched all the competition and this one has much higher battery amperage.
Made for iPhone/iPod Seal.
Light to carry.
Packaging is very well done and so is their website.
Cons
No battery remaining indicator - (developer said this will come in the future)
No pass-through charging capability (also may come in the future)
Can fall out of 30 Pin slot when holding upright and jarred. Think this will happen to all external batteries due to design of 30 Pin connector. Simply grip part of your hand around battery and iphone when using.
Conclusion
This product works as advertised. Should have been the battery Apple put inside the phone!
Blows away the competition in amperage and for the same price.
Developer is extremely quick to respond to questions (a big plus!) and open to suggestions.
I have my iPhone mounted on my bicycle and often run GPS. Without this external battery, I have to keep an eye on battery life. Not any more!
Highly recommended!!

Great product, but..........
(3 out of 5) by John Doe on Nov 28, 2008 (Earth)First let me say I like it, but if you plan on using it with your iPhone and your iPhone has protective hard case (and some rubberized cases) it will not fit into the iPhone unless you remove the case. I solved this by purchasing an adapter for $25-so add that to the cost of the 3G Juice if you use a hard case or a rubberized case in some instances. It definately will not work with an OtterBox case.

Must have for iPhone 3GS!
(5 out of 5) by jeanne425 on Jun 29, 2009 (REDMOND, WA USA)This item was highly recommended by an Apple Genius on the day I picked up my 3GS and I ordered from amazon that night. Very slick design and attaches to the phone very securely, even when using a chargeable case (Griffin Reveal, another good Apple rec., BTW).
It truly does double the battery life and recharges in less than 3 hours USB; have not tried AC yet. Love the on/off switch and cap. Now I can feel confident leaving 3G, Bluetooth, location services and Push on all day, since I have this as a backup. I didn't want to hassle with car charging, and this is an elegant way to ensure ample power all day long no matter what the usage.

Can't live without it now! 3G JUICE
(5 out of 5) by Turnerca on Sep 30, 2008 (LA, CA)Just wanted to add another positive review to encourage customer investigation of this product. Their website is very communal, their brand story is interesting and this product really exceeded my expectations. It is easy to use and convenient to carry, has wonderful design relative to phone, and really helps me feel more secure when I'm traveling or heavily using my I-phone. The 3G JUICE really increases the value of my phone since the battery is unfortunately its biggest liability, and I don't think I could live without it now. Highly recommend!

Slick! External Battery for iPhone 3G
(4 out of 5) by Martin Talty on Aug 24, 2008 (Studio City, CA)The 3Gjuice is the perfect companion to the iPhone 3g. I just received mine and already used it twice. It re-charges the iPhone 3g fast. I am now able to use the iPhone 3g with 3g browsing enabled. The battery is lightweight and well designed for carrying with you. The packaging is slick as well. A green company no manual provided but a very informative website. Well done! May buy another one as a gift for a friend who needs more juice!
