Thanks to our need to constantly connect to the Internet, we all want more juice — aka: battery power — for our smartphones. And while the whiz kids work on new battery technologies<\/a> to change our world, we are all relegated to using battery packs. As an iPhone user, I often carry two or three of these battery packs in my bag, just in case I run out of power – which I usually do.<\/p>

Most of these battery packs are quite unattractive<\/a>, to put it mildly. However, I like this new one from Mophie – the Juice Pack Helium<\/a> – which is specially designed for the iPhone 5 and is quite thin and svelte. Well, it is 13 percent thinner than the previous Juice Packs, but as someone who struggles to lose weight, I know even a few\u00a0millimeters\u00a0are important.<\/p>

At $80, it is not cheap, but if it gets me six extra hours of LTE time, I will take it. I am heading to the Apple store today.\u00a0Who would have thought that we would lust for a battery pack?<\/p>
