Many iPhone 5 users have been anticipating the release of a battery backup case for the iPhone 5 from Mophie and it has finally arrived by the name of Helium. Consumers who signed their email up to receive news and updates regarding the product would have received an email today inviting them to a private 24-hour online pre-release purchase opportunity for the Mophie Juice Pack Helium for iPhone 5 before the official launch to the rest of the world. The new Mophie Helium for the iPhone 5 seems to be mostly comparative to the current iPhone 4S Juice Pack with slight changes in design and size to suit the slimmer profile and exterior features of the iPhone 5.

Over a week ago we got our hands on the Otterbox Defender Series Case for the new Apple iPhone 5. The Defender Series case offers quite a bit of protection to the iPhone 5 and Otterbox has many variants for the case for different smartphones as well. In this video I will mention why I purchased the case and where improvements have been made. I will also mention some downfalls and missed opportunities. The case offers 3 layers of protection that include a poly-carbonate inner shell, a built in hard screen protector, and a silicone outer portion that is there to absorb shock from falls as well as cover many of the ports from dirt and debris. Check out the video after the break for a close look at this case.
