New Trent's PowerPak Xtreme Rugged Battery Is Powerfully Inexpensive

/

New Trent's new PowerPak Xtreme backup battery taunts a gut-punching ruggedized design that's equivalent to LifeProof's all-weather cases, because this thick rubber-clad battery pack is water, drop, dirt and shock-proof. An ideal set of skills geared for outdoor seekers and travel enthusiasts who want to ensure their USB-based devices stay powered up anytime, anywhere and at any weather condition.

Weighing in at 11oz and measuring 5.5" long by 2.75" wide with a thickness of 1.25", the PowerPak Xtreme features a massive built-in 12,000mAh rechargeable battery with dual, not-so-high-powered USB ports enabling it to charge two mobile devices simultaneously. As for performance, New Trent claims that its PowerPak Xtreme's 12,000 battery capacity is enough to fully refuel a full sized iPad once and then some, and that smaller devices like the iPhone 5 can be fully recharged up to 6 times. Tablets like the iPad will charge with 2A of power, while all smartphones get only 1A of power through charging. The good news though, New Trent's PowerPak Xtreme retails for a cool $60. Not so bad for a mobile powerhouse. Now where's that battery LED meter indicator?

CalypsoCase Endless, Alcantara Sleeve Case For iPhone 5S & iPhone 5C

/

CalypsoCrystal has announced that its new CalypsoCase Endless edition is now available for Apple's iPhone 5, iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C devices. Instead of using premium Italian leather, CalypsoCrystal took a more contemporary approach that is more affordable than its more luxurious leather offerings. The new CalypsoCase Endless sleeve case boasts Alcantara, an Italian synthetic suede material known to be found covering the interiors of luxury sports cars as it feels very soft and smooth, while also having extremely durable characteristics. For added strength and reinforced protection, the CalypsoCase Endless features an integrated  titanium support frame that keeps the sleeve rigid and your device protected in case you were to drop it.

CalypsoCrystal's new handcrafted CalypsoCase Endless edition is available now in a flurry of 12 vivid flavors for $64. Oh but they didn't forget about Android users, because there's also a version for Samsung's Galaxy S4 too.

Treat Your iPhone 5S With The Solace Case By Element Case

/

Element Case's latest case, the Solace, is compatible with both the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S. The Solace combines cues from Element Case's Ronin and the now discontinued Vapor Comp hybrid machined aluminum cases to form an all-new body constructed out of one durable polycarbonate-made chassis featuring CNC machined aluminum top and bottom crowns, as well as integrated control buttons. The Solace case has a sleek and slim profile that is finished off with a metallic matte soft-touch coating creating an enhanced tactile grip.

Like the Ronin, the Solace provides an ergonomic grip thanks to its bowed shape and uses the same four-screw design for installation. Element Case's Solace case for the iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S is available now in satin black, pearl gray metallic, deep blue metallic and Italian red for $80.
