(More customer reviews)All things considered, this is a good option if you need to extend the battery life of your iPhone.
I tried all the techniques for extending battery life - data push, turn off 3G, etc. None were able to satisfy me, and quite frankly, I bought the phone to use the features that Apple is saying I should turn off. Doesn't make any sense to me.
Some background: I use my iPhone constantly throughout the day. It's my primary means of email use, as I spend most of my day in the field. I listen to music in the car, and spend far more time on the net than I thought I would.
The Tekkeon case is well made of quality materials. It holds the phone very snug, and is very comfortable to hold / use. It does add a little size to the phone, but it actually makes the phone easier to handle for me (I have large hands). I like the snap closure to secure the phone, but quite frankly, its not a requirement - the case is very snug.
The downside of the case / battery is you need to take it out to charge the phone fully. You can charge the iPhone to about 96%, but that's it - you can not get a 100% charge with the iPhone in the case, charging the phone and battery from the same cable. In addition, the Tekkeon will not revive a dead iPhone very well. In my experience, the iPhone will charge to about 45% from a low of 8%, but it will not get to 100% from the Tekkeon battery. If you're buying this to throw in your bag to keep handy when your iPhone needs a jump start, you may not be happy - check into the Mophie JuicePak.
I also happen to have a Mophie JuicePak for iPhone 3g. Don't ask.
The Mophie product holds the phone very well, but there is no strap or other closure. It just pinches the phone tightly, and it does loosen over time.
The iPhone / Mophie can be charged to 100% from one charger while the iPhone is installed in the Mophie. In addition, the Mophie will charge a dead iPhone to 100% in about 2 hours. Very nice feature if you just want to have the JuicePak in your bag / purse / car etc.
Finally, the Mophie JuicePak has 4 blue LED's on the back indicating charge level. The Tekkeon has only 1 LED that goes from green to yellow to red to dead. The Mophie system is better for indicating charge.
If raw battery capacity is your need, go with the Mophie JuicePak. It has a higher mAh (milliamp hour) rating, meaning it has more energy in it. If form and function are as important as battery life, I like the Tekkeon product better - the case looks nice, is more secure, and it provides 80% of the battery life the Mophie advertises.
Both products will add 6-8 hours of continual use to your iPhone battery life, you just need to decide how you want to use the products.
