Heard some warnings about this app - download it & wanted your feedback before losing pictures, data or whatever may be in it!

Thanks!

Never had any problems with it. Been using it for a long time. Have many friends using it. Great way to share information among family and friends.

I have read a warning about a security leak (a design flaw).
I keep that in mind when using it.

I've been using it on my iPad (and PCs) for four months now.

I can't remember (since hearing of Dropbox less than a year ago)
hearing any negative comments by users.

Found this on Google;

Dropbox security leak leaves private data unsecured.

This was last June, I'm not too concerned.

Mophie Juice Pack Air Snap purchased

Posted by: "Allan" aaunkst@gmail.com   tama.drummer62

Sun Mar 4, 2012 7:05 am (PST)



Well I took the plunge yesterday and went to the apple store and purchased the juice pack air snap case for my iphone 4.
the phone itself snaps into the top portion of the case and the bottom piece is the battery pack ,the volume and silence buttons of the iphone are recessed in like juice pack air 1st model.
When you remove the bottom piece of the case the phone stays nestled in the top of the case very well and it does fit in my music dock very well.
the only problem i see at this point is you can not charge the bottom of the case unless its attached to the top of the case..not sure why this is because it is marketed to fit in a dock with the top of the case on and the bottom removed,so it would only make sense to be able to charge the bottom separately…

I'm a little confused here. I visited Mophie.com and found not product called Juice Pack Air Snap, just Juice Pack Air & Juice Pack Air Plus.

They don't recommend removing the bottom to charge or sync. They recommend using the micro-USB cable. There is no mention of removing the bottom to use in any dock. Could be because they did not design it to be used that way.

I have the 3G Juice Pack for my iPhone 3GS, and the 4/4S version is similar to the 3G version. It is a PITA to remove the Juice Pack, and so I only use it when I have a need for it.

Otherwise I use a Griffin Elan case. I removed the adapter in both my Apple iPhone Universal Dock, and iHome Clock/Radio dock and the Elan stays on the iPhone when I plug it in. I just don't have the second battery that way, but it makes daily use much easier.

I have no problems charging the bottom of the Juice Pack, without the top or iPhone attached, by using the micro-USB cable.

I do wish Mophie would design a case that does not need to be removed to use a dock, but with the anticipated change in the connector, I doubt this will happen. The EU requirement for universal charging cables & wall worts has prompted this.

So they traded one function for another. Now you can dock it more easily, but they left the USB and charge indicator lights in the bottom. With the battery now in the top, then I guess it was a trade off. They still need to use the 30-pin connector to power the iPhone, and left the other hardware there, also.

Funny you found a review dated last June, but they don't have it on their own web site. I guess stranger things have happened.

Guess the name changes since June. That would explain why I could not find it with a search. And being only available in the Apple Store might explain why it is not easily found on their site.

I have mentioned this before but I am so pleased with it I will mention it again. I use a case with _removable_ battery made by www.thirdrailmobility.com. I have two batteries at home which I use to charge my phone whenever it needs it and I'm home. I take the battery off before I leave the house (and plug it in to charge), so I'm back to a slim, light iPhone with a pretty good, non slip case. I have a third battery in the car in case I get caught low on charge. I never have to plug my phone in, so I can check mail, sports scores etc in the middle of the night without a wire or dock to fuss with. To me it is an elegant solution to keeping my iPhone ready to go all the time.

Comcast is not in my life, but should I use Mail on the iPad or iPhone, I never have to enter a password.

It's either how you have set up the account, or something to do with Comcast.

I suspect that you don't have the password set up correctly on your iPhone and iPad. Comcast has always worked well for me.

It is not Comcast, but how you set up the accounts in Settings. I have my iPhone set up to receive some of my email on Comcast. On occasion, Comcast does not receive my password on my MBP, but that usually resolves itself shortly.
