I have been 'blown away' by the length of time made available by my new Mili. My iPhone had a power consumption issue, running low very quickly - but with this Powerskin, I get about two days use out of each charge now. Happy days (Posted on 7/28/10)

It does exactly what it says on the box.

The Mili PowerSkin bulks out the phone to about the same size as Sony Eriksonn P9xx series from a few years ago. Not too large, and very easy to grip despite its shiny surface. Its seems about the same weight too.

I use GPS a lot on foot when visiting strange cities. Without the Mili I was getting roughly 3.5hrs battery life from my iPhone 3Gs using CoPilot software. With the Mili I haven't had to worry about battery life, as I was always back in either my car of my hotel well before both the batteries died. After a week of use now I haven't seen the Mili drop into its lowest charge state.

Tip: If you have a PC or two USB socket chargers, to speed up the charging process charge the phone and the Mili seperately at the same time.

When connected the Mili will first charge the phone, then charge itself, which doubles the charging time. Both phone and Mili take about the same amount of time to charge fully from a completely drained state.


The Mili acts like a fully mobile boost charger, not a trickle charger. When its activated by a button press Mili will come to life, charge the phone completely, then go back to sleep again. So don't be concerned if your phone battery level gets quite low with the pack attached. Press the Mili charge button again and it will re-charge the phone back to 100%.

Because its a boost charger that is intended for occasional operation there's also no problem with leaving the Mili in a seperate bag until its needed. Its easily added when its needed.

There are four LED's along the side of the Mili that indicate the state of its charge. These light up for a while when the Milli's button is pressed. The indicators seem to be accurate.

All in all, if you need a battery pack to boost your iPhone usage, you won't go far wrong with this one.

Note: This product is the wrong interior shape for the original iPhone (2G/Edge) which pops off the charging connector. It doesn't claim to be suitable, but I thought it worth mentioning. (Posted on 7/28/10)

Works perfectly with the IPhone and extends battery life by another 1-2 days. It does make the phone much bulkier but worth it and easy to find in my hand bag. The phone does not have to stay in the Mili case and can just be put in to charge. Case can be charged with or without the phone too.
