Incase Power Slider battery case for iPhone 3G

Power-Slider_11-17-08.jpg

Incase has released a new version of their popular Slider case for the iPhone with an integrated battery inside. Called the "Power Slider", the new case has built-in five LED power level status lights in the back (like the MacBook) and a pass-through port that allows you to charge and sync the phone without removing the case itself.

It obviously adds to the thickness of the phone more than a typical case would, but it's the first extended battery case that I'm actually considering picking up. And I hate cases. Yet it's $100, which is a painful premium to anticipate a situation which I rarely find myself in. (I work from home; I know that many iPhone 3G users who are out and about all day have battery life issues.)

I just bought the incase two days ago. Battery life is no longer an issue it is easy to use. however it knocks the 3G offline within a minute and a lot of the time I get "no service". When I pull the iphone out of the case it goes back to 3G. Is there something I am not doing?

I can using the phone and the call will just drop or the bars would go so low I would drop the call and no service. Take phone out of Slider case no problem. Want to keep case but can't
