Default Power-skin charging case

The power skin website
www.power-skin.com. just announced that they have a charging case available for the skyrocket at all AT&T corporate locations. I can't wait! Everyone should find a friend that either works there or at USPS to get 40-50% off (I think it is $80 retail)

It charges the battery all the way. I over this case. It is a little bulky but you can go case less until you need it.

Went to the AT&T store and plopped the $80 for it.

So far I give it a B-.

Case itself seems to charge fairly quickly, charges the phone almost as fast as a regular charger.

Really like the feel of it. I'm not much for rubber cases but this one has changed my outlook. I got my wife a Juice case for her iPhone 4 and the PowerSkin blows it away as far as feel and weight.

My only real complaint is that when its plugged into a computer it only charges. No USB debugging or Kies.

Other than that I'm satisfied so far.

How does this feel in your pocket with the added thickness?

Pretty good, snags a bit on the pocket lining but that's better than flying out.

If you wear skinny jeans you're SOL. And you should have the phone taken away from you.

I wear dress slacks most of the time and there is plenty of room.
