I still love the Dexim P-Flip (review from two months ago – here): I’ve been using it over the past couple of days as my dock and portable charger as I write. I particularly enjoy picking the whole package up – the P-Flip and my docked iPhone – just to check mail or fire off a quick SMS. There’s something strangely Herculean about it – as if I’m picking up a desk to look at a piece of paper. It’s awesome!
The plastic casing is just a little worse for wear than when I first received the product a few months ago, but since it’s all-black plastic, it’s hard to notice the scratches. Like all the portable chargers I’ve reviewed, the battery indicator and battery life have dropped a little, but certainly not as dramatically as my first Mophie Juice Pack has. I can usually get through a whole work day on just the Dexim P-Flip’s 2000mAh battery. The portion of the P-Flip that I was most concerned about, the swivel dock that holds the iPhone in place, doesn’t feel any different than it did on Day One. It still clicks assuredly into place, and it folds up as expertly and smoothly as any Autobot.
In fact, that’s the reason I asked for a review unit in the first place: I thought the thing looked a lot like a cool Transformers toy, and I needed to play with one. It turns out that the P-Flip is a heck of a lot more than a cool folding toy, and I really love how it syncs with a mini-USB cable instead of the proprietary white iPhone cable.
