Review: iKit NuCharge, two-in-one battery pack and cover for iPhone 5

iKit, a London based accessories manufacturer for Apple products, has announced the NuCharge, an interchangeable, tablets on sale battery pack and protective cover for iPhone 5. iKit says the NuCharge is the world's first iPhone 5 interchangeable battery and case cover, and it's currently running a Kickstarter campaign to raise funds, promote and sell the NuCharge, starting at US$59 with first deliveries expected in April.

The apple iphone 5 accessories NuCharge promises to double your iPhone's battery life while protecting your iPhone. It comes in three parts: the case or shell, the battery and the back cover, which comes in a variety of colors as well as leather.

You place your iPhone into the case, which has connection grooves on the outer back, and either connect the external battery or the protective back cover. The kids watches idea is you interchange the battery or the back cover depending on your needs.

The case itself is a lightly shaded plastic housing or shell for the apple iphone 5 accessories. All controls, ports, the speakers and the camera are left exposed for easy reach and use. The display is not covered either. The iPhone fits snugly inside the case -- it doesn't rattle around and it won't easily fall out. In fact, it takes quite a bit of prying to get the iPhone out of the case.

The attachable back cover is a sheet of plastic, which has tiny teeth to lock into the case. Attaching the cover is easy. It fits and locks into the case's def343fdfDF grooves as you slide it down the back. To take it off, push and slide the cover upwards. The case cover never came loose on its own in my time with it.

The battery pack comes on and off in the same way. It has a built-in lighting connector that you pull out of the bottom of the pack and plug into the iPhone. There are tablets on sale blue LEDs on the bottom right to tell you how much charge is left. To charge the battery, plug in a USB cable and connect the other end to a computer or a powered USB port. The battery pack is a charcoal color, and it's not very bulky or weighty considering its 1900 mHa charge capacity.

A nice little extra is a kick-stand that comes out of the back of the battery pack, letting you rest your iPhone upright in portrait mode.
