I
have seen a number of battery cases for the various iPhones but this
next one is taking it a step further with a Power Case for the
iPad...and the mini. Digital Treasures has provided me with the Props
Power Case for the iPad 2, 3, and 4, a portfolio design with a 12,000
mAh battery in the cover. That’s right, no skimping on power here. Props
folds open like a book and the interior is wrapped in a non slip grip
to stand in landscape mode at a wide range of angles. The outside is
bound with black “leather”, red threading, and closes with a magnetic
clasp.
Now
that the props is on my pad, I plan on ditching my previous portfolio
case. It isn’t much thicker than my old folio but with 12,000 mAh of charge,
it comes in handy in case of emergencies. Emergency is plural because
most phone charger cases come equipped with 1700 mAh, so you can
recharge your iPad or your entire family’s phones. With great power
comes wires, not one but two, a power cable and usb adapter. Luckily due
to the size of the pack, you likely will not have to charge often, but
it also won’t do any good if it isn’t on hand. It is rather professional
looking and I like how the red threading contrasts well with the black, but the non slip
material is where it’s at. It does not allow for the iPad to slide once
in contact, not very easily at least.
I think the Props Power Case is great, sure if has some bulk, but it
also comes in handy. It is like having a small generator on hand because
the iPad has never had an issue with battery life, although that also
makes it easier to forget when I have to charge, because you will have
enough to charge multiple devices. This may seem to be a bit of overkill to
some, for anyone that does a lot of work from their devices and uses on the road, Props is a
convenient and professional looking piece that will not leave you high
and dry in any of your devices’ time of need.
