The biggest issue I had with my switch from a Blackberry to an iPhone was the things I would do for a spare battery! Previously, I used to walk around with a spare battery in my pocket, but obviously I do not have that luxury for the iPhone. As such, I figured I would give the Scosche switchBACK the proverbial test drive as a battery backup.
More Info The biggest issue I had with my switch from a Blackberry to an iPhone was the things I would do for a spare battery! Previously, I used to walk around with a spare battery in my pocket, but obviously I do not have that luxury for the iPhone. As such, I figured I would give the Scosche switchBACK the proverbial test drive as a battery backup.
In doing so, I was pleasantly surprised that it gave me over 50% more battery life once I was down to fumes. I surfed the web, spoke on the phone, and did everything else that I usually do on it with absolutely no hiccups and no real battery draining. The overall design of the case is also pretty good. It went straight on with no problem, and it overhangs the front a little bit so as to avoid shattering the screen in the event that it drops.
At the same time however, the size of this item makes it impractical to carry around. Being that it is simply too big for everyday use, I only use it if I find myself in a bind. In addition to this, I find that the Scosche switchBACK is a bit on the pricey side. For a spare battery, there has to exist a better deal.
In summary, while the Scosche switchBACK is definitely a useful device that fulfills its mission, it is a bit too bulky and expensive. It is a good backup, but not at its current price.
