Got a nifty messenger bag that can now house my electronics. Today I got in my Powerbag Messenger bag that I got from Woot! It's just a great made bag and the 3000mAh battery is just gravy IMO. You can go to Best Buy and get a 6000mAh for about 50bux but I opted not to. Reason being is because I have a 10000mAh NewTrent pack as well as a 3200 Anker Slim portable battery pack. So with all those, I think I am "ok" with power lol. I view having the Powerbag as a stop-gap/emergency source if my two other battery packs get depleted. I mean all you need to do is plug this sucker in with the supplied charger and plug it into the wall with all your toys connected in the bag. There is a 2.1 AMP USB port inside the bag that will charge faster than the "quick" charge pockets located on the outside of the bag. One is for the iPhone/iTouch but that will be rarely used by my daughter's OLD 2nd gen itouch lol. To the left, is a BIGGER pocket where houses the micro USB and mini USB port. That will house my Nexus4. Inside has a spot for my Nexus 7 tablet where I can run a usb cable to the internal usb port located next to the battery (win!). There is also a spot for a laptop that can hold a laptop up to 16". Great for travel! And of course you can't charge your laptop battery lol....
To turn it on just press the button and boom! Your automagically charging! And if you have the bag plugged in, the devices will charge first before the internal bag battery, which is cool!
Anyway, it's a fantastic bag if you can get your hands on one cheap like on Woot! The quality is really nice and is as good if not better than the Maxpedition bags which I have as well. Nice and durable too!
Any questions let me know!
Powerbags are excellent.
I managed to snag a backpack one when the groupon was only $39.
Well worth it!

Sorry dude, I got it from Woot.com a few days ago and that only cost me 40 bux plus shipping. My model is discontinued, but retails about $140 at best buy. You can try ebay or amazon, but probably run you about 80-100 bux. Kinda expensive for a bag, but it is worth it if you need a bag. I didn't need one, but like you, I is an accessory whore lol.
AND YOU CAN'T HAVE MINE!
LOL

aaaaaaahhhhh damn it i want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I did like the sling bags they had as well, but wouldn't fit my 15.6" laptop when I travel, so I opted to go with the messenger. The backpacks are nice too!
More PICS!!!
What you see is the roomy interior. The slots where you can slip in your laptop and/or tablet. In my case a N7 with Seidio Active case fits with room to spare! Then you see the exterior pockets with the micro and mini usb cords and then the ipod one next to it (glad they made that pocket smaller lol).
And I couldn't resist showing the cool LEDs in the bag. Reminds me of the Cylon's from Battlestar Galactica lol.
I may buy one I got a targus laptop bag and a swiss gear one maybe I'll sell them and buy one of these hmmm

I might get one.
Personally, I think you can save a lot more money if you just get a external battery pack. Throw it in your backpack or messenger back and you can use it whenever you need it. Unless you really want a bag then this could be a good choice for tech enthusiast.
I always have this in my jansport backpack.

You know what? Woot.com was bought by Amazon a few years ago, so this doesn't surprise me! LOL

Got one at .99p but now see they have gone up to £3,50. Good case as a spare, but I never understand why sellers can get away with describing items as leather, when they should be described as synthetic leather or leather look.

The power skin website
www.power-skin.com. just announced that they have a charging case available for the skyrocket at all AT&T corporate locations. I can't wait! Everyone should find a friend that either works there or at USPS to get 40-50% off (I think it is $80 retail)

not very good, IMO, poor battery, and i can cause damage to your internal battery
Went to the AT&T store and plopped the $80 for it.
So far I give it a B-.
Case itself seems to charge fairly quickly, charges the phone almost as fast as a regular charger.
Really like the feel of it. I'm not much for rubber cases but this one has changed my outlook. I got my wife a Juice case for her iPhone 4 and the PowerSkin blows it away as far as feel and weight.
My only real complaint is that when its plugged into a computer it only charges. No USB debugging or Kies.
Other than that I'm satisfied so far.

Pretty good, snags a bit on the pocket lining but that's better than flying out.
If you wear skinny jeans you're SOL. And you should have the phone taken away from you.
I wear dress slacks most of the time and there is plenty of room.
How easy is it to get the phone into and out of the case? I would need it out to fit it in my armband for running.

LOL.. figures i paid $80 for this case yesterday in a corp store now i need to go back and get my credit..
BTW.. i am not impressed.. my phone was doen to 20% and i attached the fully charged power-skin..it recharged phone to 70% in about an hour but then the new case was dead ..
Looks pretty neat...my only concern is, I am getting ready to buy Easytether, and I wonder if I am going to have to take it out of the case every time I want to tether?
I just ordered mine for $35. I tried to order it with my corporate premier account and they quoted me $80 online and at the store, though.

I've got one of the Hyperion batteries. They sell them as a standalone product without the charger. The battery is about what you would expect for the $10 cost. As I expected, it doesn't last quite as long as the included battery, but it makes a good backup battery for when you need a little extra juice. The amazon reviews say that the charger is low quality, so i bought the RND dock off amazon to go with it. I'm new here so I can't post the link yet, sorry.
Thanks that's really helpful. If I may ask what kind of case or screen protector do you like?

According to reviews they get about 3 hours more...they're rated at 2250 mAh. Should be getting them Wednesday so I'll update when they arrive.
I always recommend getting 2 batteries and an external battery charger. I am never without a battery and just have to remember to pop a dead battery in the charger when I get home from work.
Honestly... The best battery for the skyrocket are the factory ones. Not bulging back and the mah is accurate. They are pricey @$35 a pop, but they are the best we can get.

I've got the otterbox commuter series. It's a nice case for what I need it for. Only thing is I have to take it off to use the dock or change batteries. Also best buy included an invisible shield protector on my phone (some BS policy they have). I never would have bought it on my own but it's a decent screen protector if you can get it installed right.

I was looking at either the commuter or, there is a seido active armor case. I got a decent .20 cent case to hold me over till I buy a pricey one.
I've heard problems regarding otterbox cases and the screen protector regarding dirt to be able to get under the protector. And the screen being scuffed if you ever cleaned it. Have you noticed anything like that?

Two batteries from Samsung? Do they sell a two pack with a charger? The reason l looked at the Hyperion was because of its charger. (Digging through the reveiws about charger problems people appear to be breaking off pins)
I like the idea of Samsung batteries since they would have nfc.

I have the commuter series case. It doesn't include a screen protector. But from the reviews I've seen of the defender, the speaker and camera holes are unprotected which allows dirt to get under it.

Well, I received these batteries several days early...was scheduled for this coming Wednesday and instead they arrived this past Saturday. Fully charged a battery, and today is my first day using them, but I can say that the percentage is certainly not dropping as quickly as the stock battery. It's actually noticeable.
The battery fits well without a replacement cover, but of course doesn't include NFC capability...
I'm getting an extra 2-3 hours off of those batteries. Definitely worth $30 for 2 batteries and an external charger...

The Hyperions suck a$$... I like many others on amazon have been left with chargers that do not work out of the box, not to mention the batteries themselves, from personal experience don't last nearly as long as the OEMs.

Thanks, looks interesting.
So, how does it perform?
After you posted this, I went to my local best buy to pick it up. It was 9.99 in store, but they had an open package one marked for 5.99, and I had a $5.00 coupon for my Rewards Points, so I got it for a dollar and some change after the tax. The stand is perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I don't want to use one of those folio cases because it's a beautiful tab and they take away from that, so this just fits my needs. And it's collapsible so it fits right in my sleeve. Thank you for posting about it, would have never know, you get a thanks!
That is kinda cool. I take it that these are discounted because it is being replaced by the NST model. You think it is worth paying more for the new one?
it's subjective. The NST apparently folds a little smaller and doesn't need the dust cover. But the older one you rinse off the stick pad to recharge the stickiness.
I guess for $5 it is worth a try. Ok $7, looks like the coupon expired.

that was my thinking. $5 isn't much considering getting a fast food meal probably cost that much. And it's universal enough that you can use it with other mobile devices.
I gave in and got the ATT PMA Circle Case while they still had the 50% off of LG G3 accessories. While at the store, they had the old Iphone 4s PMA case plus matt on sale for $10. Bought two of those for work and home plus the case and payed about $55. Not too shabby.
So far, I really love the case and the cool apps/notification I can do with the case. I think its a $55 well spent.
Did you buy the phone at the same time as the case? I bought mines from best buy but I really want to take advantage of the 50% off the case.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

Try to say you bought it when you did but say when you bought they didn't have the case and maybe they can try and give you the discount, worse case scenario is that they say no, also don't say you bought it at bestbuy lol
