That looks pretty nice. I like the red keyboard, I dont know enough to say go ahead and install. Maybe someone else will chime in and take a look. I use slideIT keyboard for now.

Pretty soon we can get a case and a battery extender with powerskin. What do u guys think about it?

Or buy directly from them @ http://www.power-skin.com/

[HTC Inspire 4G] xKrisx:
If this is true, sweet. I know that this doesn't replace the OEM battery but instead will plug into the USB Port instead. Or atleast I think. I know the mophey juice packs for iPhone work this way because its to hard to replace the battery and omg did it do wonders for that phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] tyguy:
That's a sweet idea hopefully it doesn't interfere with the GPS like "thicker" batteries did on other devices.
[HTC Inspire 4G] xKrisx:
It probably will in all honesty, but the great thing about it is, with this using the USB port to attach with, it will mean that removal will not cause your phone to shut off. If I remember correctly the EVO extended battery replaces the OEM battery and it hurt the GPS. So if you want to use GPS and the battery kills ur signal, pop it off and put it back on when you get there
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
This looks pretty sweet...
[HTC Inspire 4G] stealthsal:
I will buy one when They are out. Since i dont use gps that much just calls games apps email and work this case and battery extender would really come in handy.

[HTC Inspire 4G] Mustang302LX:
Couldn't agree more! If GPS is needed like mentioned above you can take off the case without it killing the phone! Can't wait for this to come out!
[HTC Inspire 4G] stealthsal:
I havent been able to get more info on this case i know its not out yet and i did sign up to get and email when it comes out, and also for doing that i will get a discount on it. Dont know how much but anything is better than nothing.

Hm, according to the website they will "personally email you with a nice discount code when a case becomes available (if it is not currently)". Thats worth getting their spam for a month!

I want it. Right now. Please.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jjr3211:
I can not wait this should really help with battery life.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
Sheesh, it's going to be almost double the thickness...?

I'm having reservations of getting this now...
[HTC Inspire 4G] mrrick:
Its going to be like carrying around a small netbook in my pocket.
[HTC Inspire 4G] henrybravo:
Luckily it's not really double the thickness once you factor in a case. It's only about 25% thicker than an Otterbox Commuter, a popular case on this forum, and it's only .04" thicker than an Otterbox Defender. The biggest difference of course is the weight; it weighs 3 times as much as a Commuter but a lot less than a Defender.

Otterbox Commuter case:

dimensions: 5.06 in x 2.92 in x 0.66 in

weight: 0.89 oz / 25.3 g

Otterbox Defender case:

dimensions: 5.22 in x 3.07 in x 0.8 in

weight: 4.28 oz / 121.45 g ???<<this weight number seems too high, but is what's listed on otterbox.com

Powerskin case:

dimensions: 5.32 in X 2.84 in X 0.84 in

weight: 2.72 oz / 77.1g

Weight of HTC Inspire w/battery: 5.78 ounces

Total weight of phone and case combined:

Otterbox Commuter: 6.67 ounces

Otterbox Defender: 10.06 ounces

Powerskin: 8.5 ounces

[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
Ordered it just now. I suppose I'll get the product in the next two weeks, hopefully. I'll post a brief "what I think of this thing", not really a full review though.
[HTC Inspire 4G] artro:
Well, my powerskin arrived this afternoon, fully charged. I ordered it on friday from mobilecity on Amazon for $54 plus tax. Expected delivery date wasnt until next monday. Great turn around time!

My first impressions were that this thing is big. Really big. But I quickly realized that while the size is real, it is a little illusory - its only ever so slightly bigger than my otterbox defender on my old iPhone. The case swoops in at the top, providing an opening for the camera flash as well as a nice fingerhold. Its not overwhelming to carry in regular jeans, but I'd imagine it would show in tight pants. That's why its nice that you can easily slip it out of the case. I haven't tried dropping it yet but it does seem to have an adequate grip so small falls wont be case removing falls.

The only negative I can see so far relates to the positioning of the power button. It is on the back of the phone and at the lower portion. It requires a few seconds holding to activate, but it happened once while in my pocket. I tend to rest my arms or hands on my legs when sitting in certain positions so I suspect that I pressed it inadvertently. The outside temperature does increase with use slightly over the regular battery, but that is also expected. I haven't measured the actual internal temperatures to notice a difference yet. Otherwise, no complaints! I knew what I was getting into though, with regards to added bulk.

The advantages ought to be obvious, so I wont say anything other than I now have 2800mah or so, combined.

I'd be happy to answer any questions, so feel free to ask!
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirbyrj:
Definitely interested in one of these. Nice to hear about some actual experiences.
[HTC Inspire 4G] intelligencexan:

[HTC Inspire 4G] stickbo:
can you snap some pics? I saw some on engadget but I would love to see some real world pics. Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] artro:
Sure thing! Ill have to charge up my digital camera to take the pics. I hardly use the thing anymore.

Ill get some pics up today or tomorrow and an update this weekend after some more regular use.
[HTC Inspire 4G] b24zero:
Thanks MrChow. I used your code and ordered one. Order was placed on Tuesday and I received it Thursday. Shipping was unexpected fast.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
I got the Powerskin yesterday, and finally had the opportunity to play around with it now.

First, I'll comment on what Artro posted:

The Powerskin is big, but I expected the size, so it wasn't big for me (as I posted an image and dimensions couple pages ago). To imagine, it's virtually the same height and width, but twice as thick. It will create a bulge in your pants, but you can position it so that it looks like you---- nevermind.

I have no issues with the power button, nor the temperature.

The advantages are true, in that this is a 1500mAh battery.

Now, my additions:

I never found holding the Inspire comfortable, because it was so big, yet so thin, so it was always awkward for me to hold it. Now, it feels good to hold this giant behemoth, and I don't get hand cramps.

Both the camera and the screen are now safe from the surface you put it on. However, the case doesn't really feel "securely" in place. It feels like it'd pop off at the slightest drop. I would not trust it at all, if it wasn't for the connected microUSB.

The microUSB covers the microphone slightly. The case itself has a hole for the microphone, but the connector is covering it... I don't know how this affects the voice quality (or if it does at all), since no one really complained. The microphone on the back isn't covered (for noise-cancelling). Obviously, you don't have access to the physical microSD card, the internal battery, SIM card, etc. with the case on.

I absolutely hate the sloped design for the top one-third of the phone. I wish it was just flat completely.

Connecting the microUSB on the case from the computer does not allow you to access your phone's microSD card. You must remove your phone from the case.

It seems like you can charge both the phone's battery and the Powerskin battery through the microUSB slot on the case (and not each other separately). I don't know what charges first, but I would guess that it would charge the phone first.

The Powerskin automatically starts charging the phone when you put the phone back into the case (should you remove it). I personally don't like this, as I plan on using my phone's battery, than use the Powerskin battery when my battery goes around 15-20%. You can turn this off by holding on the power button for 2sec (and vice versa).

If you have a "L" shaped 3.5mm jack for your headphones, you're SOL.

The case has crevices for volume rocker and the top button. They work quite well.

Again, as Artro said, if you have any questions, ask, I'll answer.
[HTC Inspire 4G] satah:
Completely agree with everything you both said. Feels way better in the hand. And yes l shaped earphones will not work. No one has noticed any difference in voice in regards to call quality so I think it will be ok.

Yay for full day streaming and movies.

Should mention I live in an area with poor signal. This case made it a little worse. Usually leave my phone by the window and could get 1 or 2 bars. Now 1 bar is tough. Should also note I flash a different rom and/or radio every other day so this may affect it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] PKoonz:
Powerskin

To follow on with what others are saying:

1. Super Quick turnaround time from order to delivery.

2. Really great battery life.

3. Yes, it's a little bulky, but completely managable.

4. The manual for the charger states the phone will charge first, then the battery when plugged in.

5. I too have heard no complaints fromanyone while calling with the cover on.

6. No real loss of GPS signal or radio signal in my area.

Overall, very happy with the case. Especially full days of Peggle :D

In what situation are you guys using this battery case? Would you put it away first until the battery drains to put it on or just leave it there all times? Just wondering, I perceive it as a charger. Cuz I don't like my phone to be this bulky.

[HTC Inspire 4G] nyamoV2:
Gave my girlfriend this phone and case. She just sets it on the desk at work or in her purse. But if we do go out and she doesn't need her purse then she leaves the case at home. Its just a bit much. But she really does love the soft silicone it's made out of. Also she charges the same way I use my mophie pack. ~30% she turns the pack on
[HTC Inspire 4G] a2r3f:
Would like assistance

I live in Alaska and Powerskin does not ship here, anyone care to help a guy out?
[HTC Inspire 4G] eskimosnow:
So I got the case today and my first impressions are what I would classify as good. I really like the feel of the silicone and although it adds a lot of bulk, the phone actually feels decent in the hand. Obviously the battery is a huge plus so I won't elaborate on that. The silicone could be a bit tighter but I don't think it's going to be a huge problem. And being silicone it does attract dust and dirt but not terribly. I was actually surprised by the size of the case, i thought it was going to be much bigger. All in all I think it's worth it for us Inspire owners out there.
[HTC Inspire 4G] robjamar:
Have you checked on Amazon?
[HTC Inspire 4G] stryfe2010:

Powerskin Case & Battery

I have one and would highly recommend it to anyone!

Just last night as I was plugging in the charger I noticed the battery icon change from green to yellow. And then I realized that I had last had it plugged in to the charger at about 8 a.m. the morning before and it was on all night as I forgot to turn the phone off the night before. Well worth the $$!!!:D
[HTC Inspire 4G] porfymartinez:
I'm real finicky when it comes to scratches on my phones. I like to keep them in damn good shape. I had a Mophie for my iPhone 3GS and it scratched the living **** out of it. The Mophie was plastic, so god forbid you get a grain of sand in between the phone and it. It was horrible. :(

I wonder if this will be the same problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] ahighone:
Anymore reviews on this? I'm almost to the point of pulling the trigger but I wanted an update from those who've had the pack for a while for an extended review.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Kuronen:
I've had mine for a few weeks, and love the heck out of it. Feels nice to be able to use it as much as I want on a 12 hour shift at work, and only be about half way done with the default (stock) battery when it's over. The case itself is kinda cheap (IMO) with how it feels, and I think the plug does most of the holding of the case on. I'd recommend a screen protector for sure, because this particular case does little to nothing to give your screen any protection (such as it doesn't stick out so your screen is flush with whatever you set it on.).

Also, the USB jack doesn't work for data, so you'll have to take the case off to do that. I've noticed, and it could just be where I am state wise, that if I have the case on and its battery is dead, I lose signal, even while standing outside where I normally get full signal. However, so long as the battery in the case is charged, even a little, I don't get any problems signal wise that I wouldn't get without it.

No idea on GPS, as I don't use it for much.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kennethpenn:
Ask me any questions you have about the skin. I'm giving 5 PowerSkin cases away on my website... we have review units and such.

Overall, signal attenuation is very slight (if at all)... the battery gives you over 200% up-charge. It's 1500 mAh, so that's to be expected.
[HTC Inspire 4G] autosurgeon:
Just a little review from my 30 days of using the powerskin on my inspire.

I tether my iPad for 8 hours + every day and between the power skin and the internal batt I usually still have 90% on the internal at that point.

Tethering uses lots of batt and without the skin I would be out of luck and or running for a charger. I am very happy with the grippyness of the case as well.

As it likes to work its way loose from the top of the phone I installed some double sided film tape and have had no more issues there. It still comes off the phone easily if I need to connect to my computer however. After 2 or more removals the tape needs to be replaced.

Overall a very nice addition to my inspire and once that has helped my productivity.
[HTC Inspire 4G] nystromproductions:
Just found this thread and so happy I did! I am constantly flashing roms and have a hard time keeping my battery through the day, just ordered it on Amazon for a total of $50.01 after taxes, free shipping and 3-5 day delivery, can't wait! Thanks everyone for your reviews!

Here is my experience with this case:

I bought one off of newegg and it worked, no problems for about a month. Now, it doesn't keep a charge and the battery gets extremely hot when on. I called newegg and they are going to replace it. I'm not sure if this was just an issue with my case, but I just wanted to warn people, just in case.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ejsjrnc:
Got my gtab a few weeks ago and it's been working great. installed TNT Lite 4.4 on it and love it. Got the market working after some initial trouble, but it was working (i could find Launcher Pro, Dolphin HD, etc)

Tonight, i launched the market and it prompted me to accept the license agreement again which was odd as it hadn't done that since I first launched it after the new FW load. When i go in now, I can't find any of the previous apps i had searched for to verify that the market fix worked. I've done the fix again 5 different times (either via the clear cache and force stop via settings or using Titanium backup to wipe data for Google Frameworks)

Anyone have any suggestions?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TarheelGrad1998:
The same happened to me, but I did the fix again and it worked. Be sure you're doing all the steps w/ Market and Google Framework, etc.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcrews:
This tends to happen when a newer version of the Market is pushed down to your phone. You'll just have to repeat the Market fix steps, sometimes multiple times until it's working again.

Has anyone tried using the Eye-Fi X2 with the app on the Xoom? I really want to buy one to use between my Nikon D7000 and my Xoom as an altrnative to carrying my laptop in the field and copying from SD card. I had heard there was problems with ad-hoc wireless on the Xoom and wasn't sure if that's how the Eye-Fi connects. Thanks
[Xoom General] footboydog:
I'm interested in this too. I think it works by "pairing" the card with a device via the PC software that comes with it. You plug the card into a PC for this.
[Xoom General] NooRotic:
I'm in the same boat with the previous two posts. I will be trying out the pro x2 model myself and if no one has updated here, I'll post my results. Really hoping it's smooth and as clean as the demos have shown.

Found some youtube vids of this in action:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DI50SXn56pw

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2u9oWBvChs

Looks like it works OK but if your card/Xoom is connected to your home Wi-fi it can interfere with direct mode. I guess you don't really need direct mode if you're at home though!
[Xoom General] Kcarpenter:
Been looking at getting on of these for the past year or so. Haven't been able to justify the purchase since my camera isn't on the list of compatible devices.

Though the Android app makes it awfully tempting to buy a new camera and one :D
[Xoom General] yoshitweaky:
I am trying to get it all to work right now, it seems a little hit and miss, I'll keep you posted.

After a bit of fiddling and an update to the latest version of the android app from eyefi, it all seems to be working well. The eyefi actually outs out an infrastructure wifi so the xoom can connect without any additional tweaks.

The new direct mode works well on the xoom, there are a couple of things that coudl be improved I think but I'll start posting on the eyefi forum and give feedback.
[Xoom General] alias_neo:
Im after one of these too. I was a a rally the other day and ran out of space and had no other cards with me. Could really have done with one of these then. If it works as well as it should im gonna get one. Im just trying to decide if I can live without raw or if I should just fork out the extra. M sure they're cheaper on amaon anyway than the prices on their site.
