It contains two tiny pins that fit easily into the larger remaining portion of the case the two parts of the case must be connected to charge the Helium (and your iPhone). In the Helium, the base-the part that actually plugs into the iPhone 5’s Lightning port-is the small part. But where Mophie’s cases in the 30-pin-dock-connector era consisted of a small cap and a long body, that’s changed in the brave new Lightning-connector world. Like all of Mophie’s cases, the Helium is actually two separate pieces. I reviewed the dark metallic option, which looks sharp and has a smooth, comfortable-to-grip feel. The Helium ships in two colors: dark metallic (a charcoal hue) and silver metallic (a light, not-quite-white color).
The case of course adds heft and weight to the iPhone 5, but not uncomfortably so. Though the case is indeed thinner than previous Mophie battery cases, that advantage is mostly attributable to the iPhone 5’s own slimmer profile. Mophie praises the case’s slimness: The case measures 2.49 inches wide, 5.49 inches tall, and 0.59 inches thick. The company also says it takes two to three hours to fully charge the Helium’s battery, and that matched with my experience. Mophie says to expect an additional six hours of 3G or LTE use for calls and data, or up to seven hours of additional Wi-Fi usage. In practical terms, this means that the Helium can’t fully charge an iPhone 5’s battery from empty, but in my testing the Helium can get awfully close: If my iPhone displays the (too-familiar) 10-percent battery warning, the Juice Pack Helium can push the phone’s battery back up to over 90 percent charged. The Helium packs 1500 milliamp hours (mAh), which matches the capacity of the Juice Pack Air.

My friend and colleague Dan Frakes gave us aįirst look at the Helium here’s my full review. So I was eager to get my hands on Mophie’s first battery case for the iPhone 5, the $80 Juice Pack Helium. Juice Pack Air (3.5 out of 5), and liked the rugged

(Although helium does exist in the air, there’s no way to isolate and harvest it, so it has to be produced by other means, including as a byproduct of mining natural gas.) By the early 1970s, the United States had squirreled so much away - some 40 billion cubic feet - that storage costs were becoming prohibitively expensive. Bureau of Mines was the world’s only producer of helium, according to a 2013 National Geographic article. government recognized helium’s value when, in 1925, it established a reserve to keep a healthy supply available to stay in the forefront of the lighter-than-air airship race. So the balloons are deflated, rolled up and taken back to the Macy’s studio, where they are stored in “surprisingly small hampers” for another year.Īs you imply, however, a more critical question is whether we’re wasting a valuable resource on cartoon characters at a time when some have claimed we’re facing looming helium shortages. After all, we breathe in helium all the time, because in addition to nitrogen and oxygen, our atmosphere also contains trace amounts of the gas - about. But the amount is so negligible compared to the overall volume of air that it doesn’t make a difference. So the helium is simply released to go up, up and away, because recapturing it is impossible.
