mophie - Stuff Parents Need

Greetings from beautiful Sanibel Island, friends! My family is having the best time hunting for shells, exploring the island, and just relaxing on our big summer vacation. I’m actually getting to do some reading on my Kindle (which happens approximately once a year), and of course, I’m loving taking some great photos of my kids just being kids and being fully immersed in play on the beach.

Verizon sent me a device I had not thought to bring along with me, but that I’m so very glad to have, now. We are using the Mophie Powerstation 3X, and it’s a portable charger that can work with a wide variety of devices. It can keep your phones and your tablets powered up through the day so you don’t have to quit reading that ebook you were enjoying, or quit taking photos because your phone battery can’t hang.

I’m noticing that my phone battery is struggling a bit more than usual down here, and I think it’s because the wireless signals are weaker on the shore, so the phone is working harder to keep me connected. I’m loving having a portable charger because without it, I wouldn’t make it through the whole day without having to head back to our condo to plug my phone back in. That’s just not something I want to have to do while on vacation!

Before you head out on your next family trip, be sure to add a portable charger to your packing list. Your nearest Verizon store has a huge selection of the latest and greatest portable chargers that will help you be fully charged and ready to go, day after day.

The first iPhone I had was covered in a really fun and very protective red case. I loved my little red phone and was able to keep it in great shape for over 3 years before we decided to upgrade our phones. And upgrade in phones meant that we needed new cases. I actually bought one through a Living Social deal so that I could get an even more customized look. My iPhone cover suits my personality and it rather adorable, if I do say so, myself.

BUT…this case is NOT as protective as my old one. And that does leave me feeling vulnerable. I’ve had this case for about 7 months, now, and I’m fairly certain that I will be replacing it soon. A cute case is fun, but not if it can’t go the distance and keep your phone protected!

I’m excited to see that BestBuy.com is currently offering 10% off a number of their Mophie iPhone cases for a limited time (use code mophie10 at checkout). Mophie is a brand that takes protection VERY seriously, and that’s a good thing to have from your iPhone case, especially this time of year, when anything from sand at the beach to an afternoon rain shower can be something your phone is faced with.

But Mophie also understands the desire to have a case that is actually stylish, too! They have a variety of colors and styles from which to choose I’m even mulling over going back to red, the color I loved so very much with my first phone!

Whether you go with Mophie or not, if you are looking for a new iPhone case, like me, then Best Buy has a fantastic variety of cases that you should definitely check out. Summer is going to be throwing a lot of fun at you, and you need make sure your iPhone is ready for it! 🙂

What does your phone cover look like right now? Do you love it, hate it, or are you indifferent to it? I’d love to hear about it!
