Mophie - Juice Pack Powerstation for Apple® iPhone® - Black

As a frequent traveler, I needed something to help charge my mobile devices. This mobile charger as advertised states it has the ability to charge your iPad...well, if 10-15% for an iPad mini is charged then I would agree. When charging your cell phone, it works great for iPhone 5 but not so good for Samsung Galaxy S3. When I plugged in my S3, I had it connected for over an hour and it only charged the phone by 10%; iPhone was fully charged in 40 mins. TL;DL: Great for iPhone, not so good for iPad and Samsung S3, needs to be cheaper or updated.

Anybody who has a mobile device like a smartphone or tablet knows that heavy use can drain the battery before the end of the day. This convenient pack solves that problem with ease.

convenient, light weight and small to carry in purse.

Works great, seems like someone always needs to charge their device. When we are away from an electrical outlet.

Came in handy when needing to be connected without the ability to charge my phone.

I read the reviews of similar Mophie products and decided it was worth the chance, despite the negative reviews. Unbelievably, it appears I purchased two defective devices in a row. First device wouldn't charge after 9 hours. I thought I had just picked a lemon and exchanged it for another. Second device appeared to charge (it took over 18 hours), but its first use only recharged my iPad battery no more than 20%. After contacting Mophie customer service and discussing with them what occurred with both devices, they agreed I hadn't misused them and they were both defective. I realize it may have been underpowered to charge my devices, but they are advertised specifically for Apple devices. I will return the second device and purchase something else.
