Fuel iPhone case released
case-mate has released the Fuel, a new protective phone case. Models exist for both the iPhone 3G and the BlackBerry Bold. A soft-grip holster design is used, built around a rechargeable lithium polymer battery.
The battery adds up to seven hours of life to the Bold, and up to nine hours to the iPhone. If the phones are kept on standby, the battery provides up to 480 hours of power for the Bold and 250 hours for the iPhone. An on/off button can be used to control draw, and three color LED lights indicate the amount of power left. Users need only connect the case through mini USB to charge it.
Both Fuel models can be purchased from the case-mate website for $80.

How is this a protective case when the top of the iPhone is not shielded in any way? Get a mophie juice pack air it has top protection and is much slimmer...though lacking a much desired belt clip.
