After shelling out $50 for a PowerSkin I was pretty bummed to see the device last little more than two months. Turns out that the microUSB port you you use to charge the skin is connected in a very flimsy, unreliable manner. It soon became loose after which charging the skin was a big pain (it had to be plugged in just right) until the port just came off. Ugh.
In retrospect PowerSkin is probably not the right idea. I'll probably get a simpler, smaller case and something like a portable solar-rechargable charger. This can be used to charge many devices, like the Nook, in addition to the phone, and, in theory, you're not left constantly hunting for an outlet!
