Anyone that owns a smart phone these days knows that there never seems to be enough battery life. This is even more true for those of us with the HTC EVO 4G from Sprint. The phone is excellent (once it is configured properly). But has the worst battery life in a phone I have ever seen. In a normal day just in typical usage (for me) I get about 7-8 hours of life. If I am in an area with poor reception it is even worse (sometimes as little as 3 hours). There are multiple ways to try and extend this life; everything from killing tasks to running around with an extra battery pack to externally charge your phone. None of these really work though and all are time consuming. Trust me there is nothing like trying to talk with a giant tumbdrive dangling from your EVO. Fortunately there are battery packs and cases that do not require you to leave them hanging from the phone. We are taking a look at one of these today; it is the PowerSkin Silicone case with Bulit-in Battery for the HTC EVO 4G.
The Box and Goodies -The box is nothing special really. It looks like most of the other battery cases that are out there on the market. A quick look at any big package store will find about half a dozen boxes of this style in varying colors. Flipping over the front flap gives you a look at the case inside and perhaps a little more information on the product.
The back is a little more descriptive and if you get as far as pulling this off the peg and looking at it you might find some extra reasons to pick the PowerSkin over the competition. Inside the box is a plastic tray with everything you need to get working. You get the PowerSkin EVO 4G battery case, a small user’s manual, and, of course, a USB cable for charging.
