    Ok so I've recently started back studying again and now have a bit of a commute each day...now this combined with the iPhone 4's not so great battery and the fact i use Bluetooth headphones makes it a battle to keep my iPhone alive all say.. Some days it's ok i get a plug on the bus or find time to plug my phone in for a half an hour somewhere but i was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a Portable Charging pack or even a Power Case and which models should i look out for...size etc...isn't too important as i can just use it when i run low..

    ditch the bluetooth headphones and get a decent set of wired headphones seriously, your ears will thank me with the increase of sound quality.

    power packs make the phone incredibly bulky, get hot and are just a nightmare.

    I have the Mili case which I got from Amazon for £29 and its fine for the times I need the extra juice. It does make the phone heavier and bulkier but doubles the battery life. I have Sony BT headphones, and they are brilliant, I don't find any difference between them and wired ones.

    I find these work great if you have a bag with you, http://www.amazon.com/Anker-SlimTalk-External-Micro-USB-Flashlight/dp/B0054VNHSW/ref=sr_1_19?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1345631384&sr=1-19&keywords=portable+usb+power+supply

    it charges the phone pretty quick.

    I think I'll get on that mili case looks good..I'm going to have a bag with me at all times so the extra weight is grand..also my Bluetooth headphones are creative ones and they have better quality than most of the headphones I've previously own.. I have a Bose pair of wired headphones but they are usb powered so cant use them..thanks lads
