When using our mobile devices, battery life has and probably will always be a major concern. When I received the Anker 2200 Mah battery for the Samsung Galaxy S3, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. When doing product reviews, I have never been interested in being the first. I’ve always been more concerned about being thorough.

After alternating this battery for over a month with the stock, it maintains capacity and performance.

Simply put, this battery is amazing. When looking at it you will notice that the battery is not much larger than the OEM battery. In fact to the naked eye you would barely notice. However, as your day progresses you will definitely notice the increased battery life you have available.

I’m broken my uses into several tests and in each the Anker has outperformed the OEM.

 In real world usage this battery has outlasted the OEM by roughly 3 hours. Real world to me means, listening to music, web, txt, browsing, and light gaming. For full video and gaming the Anker battery shines as well and I typically noticed at least a 10% longer battery life than stock.

On most days I begin at 5AM hitting the gym. By about 9PM I’d get a prompt for the 20% charge with the OEM battery. You can’t  be exact, but with very similar usage, I don’t get the prompt with the Anker battery until 12AM.

For the price, I can’t recommend this product enough. One thing to keep in mind is that this battery doesn’t support NFC, so if that is important to you, you’ll need to keep looking. For me, that is not important as NFC is not widely available in my common areas.

Review of the iCarbons Xbox 360 Slim – Red Carbon Fiber skin. Available for #39.95 from iCarbons.

I initially called in and was told that they are experiencing issues and will automatically send a new code. To be sure and have it documented I said I’d contact them anyway at the app store contact area. Within about 30 minutes I received the below reply which seems to be a canned message others receive as well.

Thank you for contacting the iTunes Store.

I’m sorry to hear that you’ve not yet been able to upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion because the code you received could not be redeemed. I realize that you hadn’t in fact used this code already and that you’d like to begin enjoying the features of Apple’s latest OS. I’ll be happy to assist in getting this resolved.

To be clear, customers who purchase a qualifying new Mac computer between June 11, 2012 and July 25, 2012, that does not include OS X Mountain Lion can upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion for free. To participate in this program you must be entered by August 24, 2012. If your claim is accepted, a valid replacement code will be sent to you by email. There will be no need to submit a new claim. I apologize for any inconvenience in this regard.

Please let me know if you do not receive a replacement code within 24-48 hours, as I’ll be happy to look into things further for you.

I would like to share some additional information regarding OS X Mountain Lion that may be helpful for you.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let me know how everything works out. I’d like to be sure that this has been resolved for you. Take care and have a nice day!

I can wait. Mainly just wanted to confirm that no further action was needed.

Based off what I was told there is no need to contact them. If your code failed you will be eventually sent a new working code.

Update 7/26/2011

I received a new updated code from Apple. At first I was excited. When I go to redeem I notice the code they sent was for OS X Server not OS X Mountain Lion. When attempting to install I obviously get :

Server can’t be installed on “Computer Name” because Mac OS X version 10.8 or later is required.

I never had a server edition Mac so unsure where this came from. In the end if I get to keep OS X Server that’d be cool. Was planning on purchasing anyway. Would like to have lion already though.

Update 2  7/26/2011

3rd time was a charm. Finally got a working Mountain Lion code

This is a great deal. Not sure how long it will last.

Many people are curious on how the Zaggfolio designed for the 3rd generation Apple New iPad fits.

After much debate and hearing issues such as:

• ON/OFF screen feature not working
• Case not fitting correctly
• Case not locking once closed
• Camera opening not being large enough
• etc..

I found that best buy was selling the cases locally. After picking one up I’m glad to say that it is working perfectly and I have yet to experience any issues.

The Zaggfolio fits the New iPad properly with plenty of room to spare. When opening and closing the case, the screen turns on and off instantly. The case also locks fully when closed and the camera opening accommodates the new larger 5MP camera.

All in all this was a well worth it purchase. Check out the Video for more details. As always check itsMichaelW for the latest reviews.

• Magnetic On/Off does work when you open/close the case
• FIt is proper
• Functions as it should

YouTube kept failing when I tried to upload from the web. Sent this video from iPhone so excuse the reduced quality.

The depth of the New iPad is 0.37 inch, whereas the iPad 2 measured in at 0.34 inch. Weight aside the remaining measurements are the same.

As more information comes available, I will be maintaining a definite list of iPad 2 >; New iPad case compatibility. If you have a silicone type case. Those typically stretch to an extent so those should be fine. A hard fitted case such as an otterbox may not fit. This will be updated.

Also as a heads up. Many manufacturers discount previous generation items. I picked up a nice iPhone 4 folio for my 4S for $7 normally priced at $49. Even if you don’t own an iPad 2. It may be more cost effective to buy an iPad 2 case then for New iPad.

One of the big questions is if the Zaggfolio for the iPad 2 will fit the new iPad.
