I bought this to charge Samsung's GS4 while i was not near a wall charger. First I must say this thing is great! For what I am using for (just to charge phone on go) it works perfectly.
1) It itself is a 4000mAh charger (battery being charged is only 2600mAh)
2) To charge actual unit (on standard 15A wall outlet with the supplied USB charging cable from my phone) it only took about 1.5 hours out of box to get to full) Unit itself come with about a 2.5 foot cord u must supply another USB ----> what ever your charging end
3. I let my phone go all the way down to 5% battery to get about the maximum charge out of the Mophie (again its a 4000mAh battery is a 2600mAh) and this thing charged the phone LIGHTNING fast @ about 2amps, from 5% to full took about 50 mins. WOW......then i let my phone get to about 5% again but never charged the Mophie (wanted to see how much juice was left) and WOW again, it charged it from 5%-73% on what juice was left in it. Pretty impressive considering that's all you are going to hopefully need to get to an outlet.
4. Finally it has 4 nice little LED lights to let you know when the Mophie is charging, one will blink one at a time from 1-4 to let you know where in the charging it is, also if you have it on the go with you and need to see how much juice is left you can just push the little button on the side and the LED's will light up 1-4 again to let you know (1 obviously being need a charge soon while 2-4 still means you are in pretty good shape) When I did my second test from #3 above the Mophie only showed 1 LED light when i checked its status, i'll take that anyday, Its saying "Hey I need a charge myself, but i'll still get you to where you need to be first!"
Overall i def recommend this to anyone who is on the go all the time and needs to charge there devices. I must inform also that it does not have simultanious charging, meaning you can not charge the Mophie and your device at the same time, not a drawback for me but figured i would mention for others who will consider this.
Unit is small enough that it fits in my pocket along with the huge phone as well, if you need more juice they offer it in bigger (mAh) and i am sure they are just as good as this one.
P.S.
I got the Red one, for some reason the site would not let me review that one....the Red is very nice looking and i am sure it performs just the same as the Black =)
What's great about it: Small, Charges FAST!! (both itself and phone)

this case is the best one avail atm for the vita, while it is a little big, the feeling you get that your nice new handheld is well protected from all the elements, while it wont survive a flood, i def would not think twice if i left it outside on accident in the rain, i know that when i opened it everything would be intact....if you have a vita and are on the go with it, buy this case, the $20 will pay for itself in the protection it provides.
What's great about it: Solid, worth the $
What's not so great: big, protection out weights that
