Traveling means taking a LOT of pictures, or at least it does for me. I have a camera, but since my iPhone 4 is always at arms reach I tend to use it to snap quick videos or pictures. This is all great, but constant picture and video taking paired with listening to music on my phone will drain it battery. Thankfully Kensington provides useful products to help with that.
I received the Kensington PowerLift Back-Up Battery, Dock & Stand for iPhone. As you can tell from the name, its does quite a bit. It serves as a battery charger in which you can dock your iPhone and use it as a stand. This is perfect for those who are busy at their office/desk areas and typing away and get a notification on their phone. You can have it docked and standing facing you, allowing you to ready your notifications without having to stop typing and pick up your phone.
The Kensington PowerLift is a portable 1200 mAh charger which provides up to 20 hours of music, 5 hours of video, 3.5 hours of talk, and 1.5 hours of FaceTime on the iPhone 4. All this is encased in a handy square case with a kickstand with an LED battery indicator light that lets you know how much battery yo have left. I just throw it in my bag, as it practically weighs nothing. The Kensington PowerLift has a handy attached USB cable to plug to your computer and sync it, while charging both the Kensington PowerLift AND your iPhone at the same time. That is a great feature, but it brings up a huge con, being that the USB cable is far too short. Its fine when plugged on your laptop, but a huge disadvantage for my desktop, as it would have to be left on the floor, plugged into the computer unit on the floor.

The Kensington PowerLift is so easy to carry around and gives me enough back up battery time to last throughout a day while constantly taking videos, pictures, listening to music and using FaceTime. It certainly is a great back-up battery to have, especially to take on my trip. It retails for about $49.99 and is very well worth it. A huge thanks to Kensington for the opportunity to review their iPhone battery and keeping us connected while out and about! :)
