I won an iPhone last year and ever since, it helped me be more productive even on the road. I had internet access 24/7. I clearly remember the third day I had my iPhone -- Ondoy happened. This calamity rendered my iPhone useless. Paperweight type of uselessness. This is when you'll realize that without power, you're gadgets are just plastic and metal art decorations.
Typhoon Ketsana (Local name: Ondoy)
It was after that incident that I decided to buy something to charge my iPhone whenever I need power. To date, I have the following gagdets to prevent my iPhone from losing power:1) Belkin retractable cable (Sync and charge, Paired with #2)
2) MiLi Pocket Pal
3) Several iPhone battery portable chargers (review 1, review 2 and review 3). most items in this number, failed.
4) AA portable usb charger (Photo not available)
5) MiLi Power Pack (Actual photo below)
6) MiLi Power Skin (Actual photo below)
7) Belkin car charger
The other portable power chargers didn't even last a month. After a few cycles of charge, it didn't hold the power anymore. No warranty sucks. 7-day warranty sucks too. Before you can test yourr unit, 7 days would go by.
The MiLi on the other hand has a 1-year warranty. as per research, it's a known brand in China and other countries. Also, this is one of the few emergency battery packs that is recognized by Apple.
The MiLi power skin and the MiLi power pack.
MiLi Power Skin
It performs the way it should perform. It can carry an iPhone's one full charge worth of power. Another thing I like about it is, You can push a button to manually charge your iPhone. If your iPhone reaches the lowbatt warning, it automatically charges your iPhone.
When your iPhone is fully charged, it will stop the charging automatically. When you are charging the MiLi power skin via AC power, your iPhone will also charge. Time needed to fully charge your MiLi Power Skin is roughly around 1 hour+. Using AC, it will first charge your iPhone then, the MiLi Power Skin.

Also, included in the package is 1 USB cable used to charge the MiLi power skin. This same cable can also be used to sync your iPhone.
Note that if you have invisible shield installed, you can still use your MiLi power skin but it will be hard to remove the case once it's on. Anyway, I do not recommend Invisible Sheild or G-mask. It attracts more dusts to your gadget.
MiLi Power Pack
MiLi power pack, on the other hand, as the name suggests packs more power! If you are a heavy user like me, I couldn't stress more how much you should get this gadget NOW!
This also comes in black and white, the MiLi power pack can supply your iPhone 2-full charges worth of power! Imagine, if your iPhone is fully charged, your now holding an iPhone that is worth 3-full charges!
Time needed to fully charge your MiLi Power Pack is roughly around 3 1/2 hours+. Using AC, it will first charge your iPhone then, the MiLi Power Skin.
Similarities with the MiLi Power Skin and the MiLi Power Pack:
- Can sync and charge at the same time
- Can charge manually with a single press of a button
- Battery indicator on the right side (MiLi power skin) / front (MiLi power pack) to see how much power you have left with a push of a button
- 1 year warranty
- When they say it holds 1 (MiLi power skin) or 2 (MiLi power pack) charges worth of power, it really does that. I have used both firsthand.
- Lightweight
- Available in Black and White
Advantage of the MiLi power skin
- Features a slimmer profile
- Has a detachable top cover for the top part of your iPhone
- 1 full charge worth of power
Advantage of the MiLi power pack
- 2 full charges worth of power
- you can share the power to other gadgets via USB cable other than your iPhone
- It can charge your iPhone and another gagdet via USB at the same time
Who's the MiLi power skin for? It's for:
- those who want it slimmer
- those who are always in a hurry (to fully charge the MiLi power skin, it'll take around 1 hour+)
- Light users
- those who wants fully covered gagdget from top part to bottom part (except front)
Who's the MiLi power pack for? It's for:
- Heavy users (always on 3g, games all day long, movies etc)
- those who has multiple gadgets (you can use MiLi power pack to charge your other gadgets via USB, on-the-go!
- those who always removes their sim card (top part is open)

MiLi is awesome! it is exactly like the reviewer described. I have a MiLi Power spring 4 for my iPhone 4 for quite some time. I am waiting for the first shipment of Power Pack 4s to arrive here in the U.S.! 3000MaH for my iPhone 4....yes please. BTW...you can find them from for preorder through some of their approved retailers on eBay(cheaper too).
@anon, hi! if you're in the Philippines, you can find the MiLi products in the stores I mentioned above. That way, you'll have warranty for a year. +)
