ITS ABOUT THAT TIME
Mophie Juice Pack for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Almost Double’s the Phone’s Battery Life
It’s $99.95 and they say it promises to deliver up to 80% more life to your smartphone thanks to its 2300mAh battery. Much like all of Mophie’s other smartphone battery packs, there is a switch to turn it on and off, 4 LED lights on its back to indicate remaining juice, and of course some added protection. But with that comes the caveat of added bulk and weight. In fact, the Juice Pack for the Galaxy S4 just about doubles the phone’s thickness as it measures .66-inches fat, and more than doubles its weight since it alone tips the scales at 4.59oz (the S4 weighs 4.6oz). You’ll of course get added protection to the Galaxy S4′s fragile back cover, and your choice of either black or white. The Mophie Juice Pack for the Galaxy S4 is available now directly at Mophie.

MILANES PHOTOGRAPHY The baby’s name was revealed to guests on the pink glittery invite designed by Sandi Spells Design and the singer says she chose the name because, “it was girly, feminine and picked by her daughter’s godmother so it has special meaning.” MILANES PHOTOGRAPHY The R&B singer-songwriter is already mom to sons Rocko, 8, and Romelo Montez, 5, while the Phoenix Suns guard is dad to son Shannon Christopher. She says she is very excited to have a little girl join their world. “I know everything about WrestleMania and Tonka Trucks so I’m excited to share shopping dates and manis and pedis with her. But I’m really looking forward to teaching her about life,” says Monica. “I want to be an example to her like my mother was to me.” MILANES PHOTOGRAPHY MILANES PHOTOGRAPHY MILANES PHOTOGRAPHY MILANES PHOTOGRAPHY MILANES PHOTOGRAPHY MILANES PHOTOGRAPHY
