The number of cases and chargers that have come out for the iPhone can be quite overwhelming. The PowerSkin iPhone 4 Case combines the best of both worlds with a lightweight design that keeps your mobile powered up throughout the day.

Unlike most built-in case chargers, the PowerSkin iPhone 4 Case is actually quite slim for a gadget with a [built-in battery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anker-nano-magsafe). The energy pack provides twice the power and keeps the phone charging at the same time. In addition to the technical aspects, the case is [sturdy enough to handle a drop](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-16-cases) on pavement. It's also eco-friendly since the case is made from [recycled silicon rubber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-union-reclassic-case) and plastic (for the screen).

Overall, the PowerSkin iPhone 4 Case seems to be a solid solution for consumers who want to protect their mobiles and keep it powered throughout the day.
