Evening readers,
I try to keep my thoughts on this blog positive logical, without rant. This post may be an exception: today is Christmas for most of the world, and as a gift I received a Mophie Juice Pack Air, an iPhone case that has a built-in battery. The retail is about $99 CAD from the Apple Online Store. This morning I received one, a white model. I’ve had it on my iPhone all day, however I haven’t been too attentive of it until later this afternoon I noticed that I couldn’t send text messages…. because I only have one bar?…. and when I sit here I usually get about 3 bars… so… what changed? Then it ocurred to me: the case! I then tried a few removing and replacing the case a few times (switching into air plane mode between trials) and it was clear. The Mophie Juice Pack Air kills signal. No other way to put it. I’ve read reviews on the Apple Store (which admittedly hadn’t before) and Amazon which also had similar realizations of it’s effects on their once great reception.
I imagine that this will be in the mail later this week, on it’s way back to Apple Warehouses, and yes, at a 10% restocking fee. Although, if by chance 3G signal isn’t affected by this case then it may be right for you, however I don’t have experience with that. Bottom line: don’t buy this. Period.
That is all.
