I got the Kensington Mini battery back in June for $32 on an Amazon Gold Box Special and I’ve been tickled pink with it. The major difference I can see is the battery gauge: it has one. I also like the width matching the iPhone instead of having it be longer and narrower like the solo battery.

When used as a mini-USB charger it charges the iPhone first then switches to charging itself.

And while solo says they’re the only aluminum cased iPhone battery, it’s in aluminum and has survived my pockets with no nicks or scratches.

Plus if you Google for it you can generally find it for the $3x price range and in stock (the solo is currently out of stock.)

Did they ever solve the problem of the battery and the iPhone 3G not both charging together?

That iPhone looks HUGE in the video due to the "perspective" influence. If I thought the iPhone was as big as your head, I would never have purchased! :)</p> </div>

Nice review… That iPhone looks HUGE in the video due to the “perspective” influence. If I thought the iPhone was as big as your head, I would never have purchased! :)
