Boost Hybrid Iphone 4/4s Battery Case – Are Two Pieces Better Than One?

We’ve always heard it being said, “Two heads are better than one”. And it does prove true especially when we’re trying to come up with a new idea or finding a better solution to an existing problem. Another thinking mind sure does help in bringing out better ideas or solutions than we could have done by ourselves.

But what about two pieces? are they better than one? Well Boost has just released a new concept in iPhone battery cases and the first of its kind to be released in the market called the “Boost Case Hybrid”.

For those of you who don’t know what a battery case is, it’s basically a protective case for your iPhone that extends it battery life at the same time. Now a lot of brands have been coming out and producing these products but they all are made of one piece. A case with an added thickness due to its battery pack integrated in the case itself.

Most iPhone users are hesitant to get these battery cases because of the added bulk that it gives to your iPhone. And that is what Boost is trying to address in this new innovation. A battery case that comes in two pieces – the protective case and the battery pack.

This allows you to detach the battery pack from the case and use it only when necessary. Giving you protection for your iPhone without the added thickness. The case itself only adds approximately 1 mm to your iPhone’s thickness and comes in different colors and designs to choose from. One of the things that i like about the design of its casing is the cut-out for the camera. Some cases have so small cut-outs that it literally reflects the flash to the camera, creating a white background on your image. Not this one. It has enough cut-out space for the camera. It has a pear-shaped cut-out as well that shows the apple logo in your iPhone. This cut-out is used to attach the other piece, which is the battery pack, to your casing by sliding it in and connecting it through your iPhone’s dock.

The battery pack has 1900 mAh of battery capacity which is sure to double your iPhone’s battery life. It has a battery indicator as well like the usual battery cases to let you know of your external battery’s current status.

As of the moment, boost has released seven different colors for the cases while the battery pack comes in black or white.

The cool thing about this is that Boost gives you the flexibility to buy the case separately. So if you want two different colors for your case, you can buy another separate case for $34.95 and buy the whole package(case and battery pack) for $79.95.

It is already a known fact that the iPhone’s battery doesn’t last very long, so a battery extender for the iPhone is a must for your iPhone. The new feature of the Boost Hybrid case that allows you to take off the battery pack is surely a great move from them and one to look out for.
