PowerSkin announces BlackBerry Z10 case

Each new smartphone purchase tends to be accompanied by a slew of accessories purchases. After all, it makes perfect sense, you too, want to make sure that the smartphone in your possession remains nice and in pristine condition, free from scratches and being able to withstand knocks and drops, especially those tend to happen when you least expect it to. Now, cases for smartphones are dime a dozen to choose from, and most folks are spoilt for choice, too. PowerSkin is an old hand at offering protective case choices for smartphones of all shapes, sizes and makes, and this time around, they would concentrate on the BlackBerry Z10, with the new PowerSkin BlackBerry Z10 NFC-enabled battery case.

The name itself does give away just as much, where your BlackBerry Z10 will soon not only gain all round protection from the majority of drops, nicks and knocks, it will also be on the receiving end of a big boost of power, all crammed into a single piece, featherweight design. Shaun Ng, Product Manager for XPAL Power, said, “PowerSkin dominates the battery case market in the Android and BlackBerry space. We take pride in offering the widest selection of options in a market traditionally saturated with solutions only targeted toward the Apple user.”

The Z10 PowerSkin will feature a one-piece, soft silicone exterior which is not only shock-proof, but dust-proof as well, and it will just add an additional 88 grams to the entire weight of the smartphone. That should not weigh you down by too much, no? There is a built-in 1500 mAh rechargeable battery which will further be able to extend the phone’s power by up to another 60%, and you will be able to control the flow of power using a press of the on/off button. The presence of a LED light strip on the back will be able to show off just how much battery charge is left, and the slim 20mm design also boasts of PowerSkin’s patent-pending technology that allows NFC transmission to pass through the silicone case, ensuring you will be able to perform quick information sharing in a jiffy. If you are interested, the Z10 PowerSkin will retail for $79.99 a pop.

PowerSkin Battery Case Gets it PoP’n

PowerSkin has been making cases to extend the battery life of various smartphones for a while. The company has now announced a new battery case that sucks. No seriously, it uses suction cups to stick to the back of your smartphone. The case is available in two different styles to fit the iPhone 5 and other devices and is called the PoP’n.

PowerSkinpopn

The iPhone 5 case has an Apple Lightning connector and is available in black or white colors. That iPhone 5 version sells for $79.99 (USD). The other version has a micro USB connector and is designed to work with various Android smartphones. The micro-USB version sells for $69.99.

Other than the connector, both versions have the same specifications with a 2000 mAh battery inside promising up to 70% more talk time. The battery device measures 5″(h) x 2.2″(w) x 0.41(d) and weighs 0.4 pounds. Both versions are available to order right now. PowerSkin plans on offering red and pink versions of the case in the future.

PowerSkin PoP’n External Battery

The PowerSkin PoP’n is a real interesting peripheral that you might want to check out if you own an iPhone 5, and tend to find out that you run out of battery life a whole lot faster before the sun sets each day, simply because you do a whole lot with your iPhone. Other than lugging around a charger wherever you go, why not settle for a more elegant solution? The PowerSkin PoP’n would pop into mind, pardon the pun, where it sports an attachable external battery that will stick onto current cases, and has also been Apple-certified (one of the first few, actually) external charging solutions for the iPhone 5.

The PowerSkin PoP’n will arrive with Apple Lightning and Micro-USB connectors for majority of orientations out there (Apple 30-pin & Micro-USB for HTC connectors are on their way). This pop-on battery charger holds another 2,000 mAh of charge, and it will “stick” to current external cases or smartphone chassis thanks to tiny yet flexible suction cups which will adhere externally to mobile devices and connect over an interchangeable tip to a Micro-USB, Apple 30-pin or Apple Lightning connector.

Jeniece Aragon, Marketing Director for XPAL Power, said, “PoP’n is all about convenience. From students gaming and enjoying social apps to business travelers multi-tasking between meetings, PoP’n serves as a charging solution for an array of devices and you can even use it without removing your current case. It is slim, light-weight, fits discretely in any bag, and it’s fun to hear the POP as you take it off once your phone is recharged!”

The PoP’n will arrive in two colors – just plain black and white, and you will have to fork out $69.99 for the Micro-USB connector version, and those who prefer to pick up the Apple Lightning connector model will have to fork out $79.99 for it. Expect to see red and pink versions arrive in the coming weeks.

PowerSkin launches NFC-friendly battery case for Galaxy S III

It’s tough to get excited about phone cases — really tough. But, we’ll admit that PowerSkin’s new Galaxy S III case did pique our interest a bit. It’s not a revolutionary design that makes us rethink smartphone protection, but it does pack a number of nice features that definitely make it more interesting than your average silicone skin. Most notable is NFC integration, which means you wont have to take your GS III out of its case to make payments or tap and share data. Of course, like other PowerSkins, it also packs a backup battery (this one a 1,500 mAh pack) that lets you cruise through a day of heavy usage with little worry. That silicone shield should also help keep your precious handset safe in the event of an accidental drop or fall (just don’t hit it with a hammer or anything).

PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin offers additional talk time

When it comes to modern day smartphones, they are able to achieve plenty of tasks on a single device, but the major drawback would be its battery life. Rather, the lack of it. In fact, it is pretty hard for a seasoned road warrior who has push email turned on all the time, being connected to a 3G or 4G LTE network the entire day long, checking plenty of emails while sending out replies in the form of text messages and emails, not to mention handling a plethora of phone calls as well, to have your smartphone last the entire day.

Most of us would wake up with our smartphones attached to a power outlet fully charged, and by the time we hit the sack, our phones would most probably have sent out a warning signal at least once or twice, urging us to get to the nearest power outlet as soon as possible. Well, there are remedies to combat the lack of power, and instead of taking the more bulky route of carrying a power charger with you all the time, how about offering protection for your precious smartphone which also comes with its very own built-in battery to boot? This is where we are headed with the PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin.

It is said that the PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin is capable of offering the latest Motorola flagship another 220 minutes worth of talk time, now that is value for money when you think about it. After all, the number of minutes translates to more than 3 hours worth of chat time, which can be crucial for those of you who run a business and have plenty of calls to make throughout the entire day. Don’t you just hate it when you need to wrap up that particular conversation, only to have your phone’s battery die on you? With the PowerSkin Motorola Atrix HD battery skin, this particularly sticky situation can be avoided.

The Motorola Atrix HD skin for AT&T basically comes with 1500 mAh of power, including angular corners for improved comfort, and a soft silicone exterior coated with weather-resistant polyurethane and a durable, matte finish that protects against dust, scratches, moisture and grime. It will retail for $69.99 a pop if you are interested.
