Belkin announce new Grip Power Battery Case for iPhone 5

Belkin have today announced a new charging case for the iPhone 5 called the Grip Power Battery case. Both visually and in terms of performance Belkin’s new case seems very similar to Mophie’s Juicepack Air that we reviewed recently. Both are basically the same price too.

Belkin are claiming that the Grip Power case will double your battery life whilst also providing a decent level of protection thanks to the secure-hold grip design which keeps your phone from accidentally slipping out of your hand. In addition, in case it does get dropped or bumped, the case is formed of shock-resistant material to soak up any pact forces.

One slight difference between Belkin’s and Mophie’s offerings is the way the phone is inserted. In the Juicepack Air, the bottom of the case can be removed allowing the phone to be slid into the main part of the cover. However, Belkin’s Grip Power Battery Case has an outer shock resistant bumper that is completely removed to allow the phone to be connected to the battery pack before the bumper is secured back in place around the phone.

Without getting our hands on an actual device, it’s hard to tell if it is better or not to Mophie’s offering, but at least iPhone 5 users now have a bit more choice when it comes to buying a charger case for their phone!

  1. I’m going to have to admit I need something like this. I use my phone heavily and although I don’t want to bulk it up with a battery pack I also don’t want to be reduced to sneakily unplugging a fruit machine to charge my phone like I did in the pub the other week!

    1. If you need around double the battery life, then the Mophie Juicepack Air or this Belkin Grip Power look the best option. They are bulky though. If you aren’t too worried about having as much as double, then maybe look at the Mophie Juicepack Helium I believe that is thinner and lighter, but doesn’t quite give the same level of extra battery life.
