What: Dexim P-Flip Power Dock
With so many iPhone/iPod accessories on the market, it’s really hard for one to stand out. The P-Flip certainly does. To use it, you simply fold it open and dock your media player. While it’s docked, you can watch movies hands-free. Download the Pflip alarm clock app and turn it into a nightstand alarm clock. The base has a rechargeable 2000mAh battery, so it charges your device while it’s docked. You can even connect a USB cable to the base for syncing with a computer. Dexim rates the battery for 15 hours of videos, 60 hours of music or 8 hours of phone time. Even if you get close to those numbers, it’s a great addition to the capacity of the device’s actual battery. Small lights on the battery indicate when it needs a charge itself; you can do that via USB. When not in use, the pocket-sized device measures about 3-by-2.5-by-.5 inches and folds up for easy storage.
