Exolife Case Juices Your iPhone 4 While Protecting It From Grip of Death

Look, at this point, it’s pretty incontrovertible: at the very least, you need to have a case or bumper for your iPhone 4.

Exogear’s latest case, the Exolife, is a sleek rechargeable battery case packing a 1500-mAH lithium ion capable of doubling your iPhone 4”s already impressive battery life. It also features a hard polycarbonate shell, a USB 2.0-to-micro-USB cable for charging and syncing and the ability to switch off the external battery when your phone doesn’t need the juice.

Needless to say, the Exolife will also guard against the iPhone 4 Death Grip just as well as a cheaper bumper. The price doesn’t seem too exorbitant to me at $89.95, and if you wait until September, you can even get one in white.

I’m sure the class action lawsuits will require Apple to provide a minimum $30 credit towards purchase of a bumper or case.

Is it? I know half a dozen people with the iPhone 4 and not a single one has a complaint about the antenna issue. For every blog post of read that hypes the problem without ever saying what percentage of buyers are affected, there are 3 others that say they can’t reproduce the problem even when they try.

If the number of people with antenna problems is so small, then a very simple replacement or refund shouldn’t be a problem. But maybe all these people are Google employees, who are carrying out a conspiracy to make Apple look bad, right? A-ha!! :)
We have 3 Macs at home plus 2 iPhones, and we’ve been Mac fanatics for more than 20 years. The antenna problem itself doesn’t bother me. The design does (glass????) as well as the refusal to admit the deathgrip problem. These are not behaviors typical of the Apple I know. Will I get an iPhone 4? Yes. Will I continue using Apple? Yes. But Jobs have disappointed me with this time.

Joseph – I’m another person with an iPhone 4 without the issue. I don’t have a bumper, and I live in an area where ATT has sketchy signal quality. Add that to your anecdotal list ;-)
Brownlee once again shows he is just here to write headlines, not to bother with researching or facts. He’s in love with hyperbole and typos.

It’s amazing how badly iPhone 4 sucks. It’s also amazing how Apple Fanboys will defend it until the end of time. I will freely note first off that I am not a fanboy by any stretch, however I do have the 3GS, which I love. I did buy the iPhone 4, and it was so terrible that I returned it and went back to my current 3GS. It was just that bad. It’s hilarious to me what Apple fanboys are saying in forums and blogs all across the web, defending this thing like it’s some sacred gem, pretending all its issues don’t even exist. Ridiculous. Check out the video I made on YouTube about “An Apple Fanboy’s take on Life…”. It’s at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPcQ-cYg8iA
