The powermonkey-eXtreme houses a massive 9000mAh capacity Lithium Polymer battery and offers users real power in a compact, durable shell. The unit is capable of recharging most 5V devices, including an iPhone up to 6 times, a Garmin Edge 800 up to 6 times and standard mobiles up to 12 times.

Iphone Dock

You can bet one of the first things he'll do when he sits down at work, is take his mobile phone from hispocket and pop it out on the desk next to him. However, we think that something so awesome and indispensable should at least have its own little seat to sit in too whilst he beavers away at work .The iDock Phone is our recommended 'throne for your phone'!

The iDock Phone lets you use everything that is great about his mobile whilst keeping an old-skool retro element to how you answer your calls. Now he can pick up the dock's handset and easily access other features of his smart phone, such as look up contact numbers, or check calendar dates, and this is sooo much easier to trap between his ear and shoulder should the need arise. The whole dock has a great rubberised finish making it nice to hold.

The built in mic and speaker provides a hands free function, allowing him to multitask whilst taking a call. The iDock Phone can also be used as a speaker to play his music whilst not on a call.

The up-right design of the dock is perfect for video calling, or as the iPhone people like to call it Face Time. The angle that the phone sits at is adjustable to suit the height of the caller or height of the desk.

If he needs to re-charge his mobile phone simply use the charging cable that came with hisphone and place it in the holder.

Product Features

• Turn your mobile into a retro handset
• Rubberised finish makes it great to hold
• Easily access other features on your phone such as contacts, or calendar etc
