Energizer Launch Ultimate iPhone 4 Rechargeable Case

Well, take a look at this. Energizer’s new AP1201 case for the iPhone 4 looks damn good. It offers protection for your device by way of silicone rubber but the big thing is, it actually charges your iPhone at the same time. Energizer even claim that this case will double the life of your iPhone 4, we don’t know about that, we haven’t tried it yet but this looks like just the thing we are looking for, more below.

The AP1201 has pass-through, high speed charging capability with “smart” battery technology that detects the iPhone® power status indicated through hidden LED’s on the back of the case. Two charging options provide either high speed quick charge to iPhone® first, then to the case, or get simultaneous pass-through charging of the iPhone® and AP1201 case for efficient power management.

The AP1201 is made from recycled silicon rubber and eliminates the need for iPhone® 4 users to curb their usage or to avoid power-draining applications, and will keep the device charged throughout the day. This rechargeable case with built-in battery nearly doubles the life of the iPhone® while offering full protection that you never need to remove, providing a continuous permanent power source.
