Third Rail System iPhone 4 Slim Case Has A Detachable Battery

I've seen my fair share of iPhone 4 battery cases, and even reviewed quite a few. Third Rail is hitting the battery case market hard with their new iPhone 4 battery case dubbed to be the world's slimmest battery enabled case on the market. What sets this iPhone 4 case from others is its detachable battery that attaches to the back of the case when you need to do some charging. The whole point here is to have a battery case without the bulk of a regular battery case that has a built-in battery which bulks up the form factor of the case permanently. The Third Rail System is the whole package to get you started including the slim iPhone 4 case as well as a detachable 1250mAh battery that also doubles as a universal gadget backup charger using micro-USB and included cables.

 

Third Rail's $59.99 Smart Batteries can be stacked up, up to 4 times to increase the battery capacity you carry. The iPhone 4 case and one detachable battery will set you back $89.99, but at least you're going to be future proof since the Smart Batteries are compatible with future Third Rail cases. Like a future Third Rail iPhone 5 case. All this sounds really good to me, I'll take 4 please. You can grab yours right now.

iPhone 5 Smart Covers

Ever since Apple released the Smart Covers for the iPad 2, people already speculated similar covers for the iPhone 5 will replace the current Bumper cases for the iPhone 4. Apple is expected to release the iPhone 5 with a similar aluminum back as found on the iPad 2, and as we learned from Apple's iPad 2 keynote, they worked so hard to design a beautiful looking device that they did not want to cover it all up. Will we see a new breed of Smart Covers for the iPhone 5? It's definitely a possibility. Apple will want to wow customers with new and exciting accessories for the iPhone 5 and I don't think we will see the famous Bumper case sticking around once the iPhone 5 is released. Those Smart Covers above are just an idea of how they will look on the iPhone 5. I digg them already.

iPhone 5 To Have An Aluminum Back

It is now rumored that the iPhone 5 will sport a flat aluminum back that will not affect the reception and will retain the shape and form factor of the iPhone 4. Besides ditching the glass back for aluminum, the iPhone 5 is also rumored to get a larger, 4-inch retina display. This is coming from a source in Foxconn which 9to5 Mac are saying is reliable.

iPhone 5 Rumored To Get A 4-inch Screen?

Rumors about the iPhone 5 are blazing around the web this past month about iPhone nanos and newer and faster Apple A5 processor, but a more notable rumor is that the iPhone 5 will get a bigger display than the current 3.5" and it's now rumored that the iPhone 5 will get a bigger 4" display. This sounds like something Apple will finally do since all the past iPhone models up to now have all had the same 3.5" screen size and it's about time we get some more screen real estate. A 4.3" display sounds more realistic if Apple does decide to go ahead with a larger display. At this day and age, bigger displays on mobile phones is a necessity and I think it's a big possibility that we will see a bigger display on the upcoming iPhone 5.
