iPhone 5 Battery Cases In Stores as Early as February

Published

on

The first batch of iPhone 5 battery cases are on display at CES 2013, offering hours of extra use, but iPhone 5 owners can’t buy an iPhone 5 battery case until February or March.

Accessory makers like Dexim, uNu and MyCharge showed off iPhone 5 battery cases during the first day of CES, ranging from $69.95 to $99.99 with various sizes, colors and finishes.

The iPhone 5 uses a new lightning connector which case makers are working hard to implement into an iPhone 5 battery case, but Apple’s stringent Made For iPhone rules mean we won’t see the cases on store shelves for another month or two.

The uNu Endliss Hybrid iPhone 5 battery case has a 2,000mAh battery that slides off when the phone is fully charged, leaving a slim protective case on the iPhone. This iPhone 5 battery case allows the iPhone 5 to charge via Micro USB. This case also includes a USB port that lets users connect a Lightning cable to charge up an iPad Mini or other device so the battery isn’t limited to just the iPhone 5.

After third-party case makers gain Apple approval for their Lightning connections, we expect an avalanche of iPhone 5 battery cases. We’ve already heard from several case makers that they plan to show off iPhone 5 battery cases on the show floor and behind closed doors, so short iPhone 5 battery life should end soon.
