I think the Juice Pack Reserve is an extremely interesting design. Using it on an airplane tray to hold the iPhone either vertically, or horizontally (like an open book) both seem really useful. I do wish you could fold the iPhone flat against the unit while connected, which would obviously require a more complex hinge.
Buyers should also note that you can’t charge the iPhone while this unit is being charged, so if you were thinking you could leave your iPhone plugged into this overnight while it was plugged in, say on the nightstand in the hotel while it charged running a clock radio app will be disappointed. Still, think I’ll be picking one up. Hoping you have a review up soon.
