PowerSkin announces new PoP’n external battery power pack that suctions to your Phone

PowerSkin has been around the block for all the various devices that have been launched over the last few years. Primarily they created the PowerSkin case that offered up device protection and a battery pack built-in. Guess you would call it and extended battery case of sorts. They are pretty slick cases that many of you probably have still. While the case was great, not everyone wants to use it on a full-time basis. With so many other great looking cases out there that give you more individuality rather than extra power. PowerSkin obviously saw this trend and need and has released a completely new product. One that we think everyone with nearly any device will love.

It is PoP’n and it is an external battery with suction cups on the back. Kind of like the Octopus that they use for their logo. It is a 2,000 mAh battery backup that can be taken anywhere at any time. It has a small ‘U’ shaped plug that connects to the battery and then to your phone. Hit the power button for 2 seconds and you are charging. When you get what you need out of it, simply take it back off. It looks like it is designed to fit on the back on just about any smartphone on the market even with a different case on your device as long as a cup or two can stick to a flat spot.

The only thing I can’t tell in any of the product images or videos is the specific plug it uses on the battery. It looks to small for a standard USB port, so chances of using a small cord looks to be out of the question. That keeps this products additional device uses limited. Simply because many devices have charging ports on the side or top of the device and not in the bottom center. PowerSkin does offer up a list of compatible devices though.

• Micro USB/A (MBA)
  Nexus 4G
  Samsung Infuse
  Motorola Atrix 2
  DROID RAZR M

At least Samsung keeps their charging in the same place.
