It's not a big secret that I'm a huge fan of the Mophie line of smartphone battery cases — I rarely travel without one tucked into my bag, after all. Naturally I was excited to hear that there is now a Mophie Juice Pack designed for the Samsung Galaxy S3.

Unfortunately the case is somewhat bulky and spoils the Android device's rather slim looks.

Of course, this same issue existed with the very first iPhone-compatible Mophie cases as well and most — yours truly — had no issues sucking it up and compromising slenderness for longer battery life. (A Mophie case basically doubles a device's regular battery life.)

The Mophie Juice Pack for the Samsung Galaxy S3 is now available for $100. It, unsurprisingly, comes with a micro-USB cable.
