Mobile phones are great, but only as long as their batteries are full. In early April we visited Ireland and you can probably imagine my frustration when, while we were visiting The Giant’s Causeway, which is really interesting and beautiful place, my camera battery died. Well normally that wouldn’t be a problem because I can take very good photos with my iPhone 6 too, but that day my iPhone battery died too and unfortunately I didn’t have any chargers with me that I could have been able to use on the go. Well last week that problem found a solution thanks to mobilefun.co.uk that offers different accessories for your iPhones, iPods, iPads and also other smartphones at budget friendly prices.
Mobile Fun sent me three products: Olixar 5000mAh High Capacity Power Bank with Built-in Cable, Olixar Super Fast Lightning Car Charger with USB Port and Butterfly iPhone 6 Shell Case – Champagne Gold / Clear
Olixar 5000mAh High Capacity Power Bank with Built-in Cable
Olixar 5000mAh High Capacity Power Bank with Built-in Cable is a small, but powerful gadget that lets you charge your iPhone, iPad, iPod or Android phone on the go. It measures 11.5 x 6 x 1.4cm so it is same size as some smartphones and so it is easy to carry it with you. I LOVE that I can securely hide all the built-in cables and pins in the slots on the power bank and so they won’t get lost. Using the Olixar power bank is super easy. For charging all you have to do is connect the power bank to a laptop’s or computer’s powered USB port or a mains USB adapter. I have recharged my power bank once so far and it took about 4-5 hours to get it fully charged.
If I need to charge my iPhone then I just connect my iPhone and the power bank starts charging it. On the power bank there are 4 LED lights that will let you know when the power bank is charging and when it is full. And if you want to know how much battery capacity remains within the power bank then all you have to do is press the button on it 🙂
- 5000mAh power boost
- Great portability
- Built-in Micro USB charging cable
- Lightning and Apple 30-pin charging tips included
- LED indicator
Olixar Super Fast Lightning Car Charger with USB Port
If you use a car a lot (like me sometimes 😛 ) then car charger is a must! I used to have a universal car charger for my old Samsung S2, but when I upgraded to iPhone 6 last year then I couldn’t use my existing car charger any more because as you probably know that Samsung and iPhone have different pins. Well when it comes to Olixar Super Fast Lightning Car Charger with USB Port then the good news is that I can actually use it for charging both my iPhone and old Samsung, because it has lightning pin and a built-in USB port 😀
I like that this car charger is much smaller then the pervious one I had and so it takes less room 😛
Butterfly iPhone 6 Shell Case – Champagne Gold / Clear
My iPhone needs a pretty case and Mobile Fun offers many different covers and cases for smart phones to choose from. I had hard times narrowing my case choices down to one, because there was so many pretty ones. At the moment I’m loving butterfly theme and so I decided to choose Butterfly iPhone 6 Shell Case – Champagne Gold / Clear. This case looks pretty and at the same time it looks modest. It is made of lightweight polycarbonate with anti-scratch coating and metallic laser-etched butterflies. It is light and slim and so it won’t make my phone bigger or heavier, but at the same time it protects my iPhone from scratches 🙂
My experience with mobilefun.co.uk was great and everything arrived very quickly in perfect condition. Have you heard of Mobile Fun before? Is there anything you would need for your smartphone from them?

Car chargers are a must have for me! That battery backup sounds like a must have for anyone with multiple electronics who travel frequently!
tanjtrubiano says
Cool gadgets. Its freaking awesome that there are a lot of options out their for consumers. Thanks for this list.
Robin Rue (@massholemommy) says
That power bank sounds perfect for travelers. Smartphone batteries die so quickly and it;s not always easy to find a charging station while you’re away.
Jaime Nicole says
Portable power is a must! I have good battery life, but I am on my phone constantly so a back up is essential!
Leelo says
Back up really is essential, because you can never know when your phone’s battery will be unexpectedly dead 🙁
Liz Mays says
The butterfly case is very cute! The power bank would definitely come in handy when traveling. I could just charge my devices while they sit in my purse.
Leelo says
Exactly! That’s why I love it – I can charge my phone when it is in my handbag 🙂
Heather says
We have a portable charger that charges too things at once. Traveling long distances, I say it’s a must!
Leelo says
It it is a must!
Uplifting Families says
We have a few portable charges around our house and they come in handy. We have had several power outages lately so I keep them charged so that I can charge my phone in an emergency.
YellowTennessee says
I like that case. I need a car charger for my iPhone. I just haven’t bought one yet.
Susan Quackenbush says
All of these seems like such hand accessories! I think the car charger would be the most beneficial for me. We have a USB port in the car but it’s stopped working so we need to find an alternative. Thanks for the great post! 🙂
Valerie says
These are the perfect accessories. I can’t imagine going out without a way to charge my phone, either on my laptop or car!
tammileetips says
All of these sound like amazing accessories!! I would be lost with my cases and extra chargers!
Fi Ní Neachtáin says
I wish I had an iphone, they always look so great. That butterfly case is so pretty, I’d love something like that for my phone.
Joanne T Ferguson says
Thank you for highlighting all of this today! I like to stay on top of all new technology!
Chubskulit Rose says
I should get this for my iPhone, it looks so cool! When it comes to technology, I am always the last lol.
Krystal says
An external charger is so important for me when I go anywhere. I also need a car charger too. A waterproof case is a must!
Miranda (Myrabev) says
I know how annoying it must have been to have your phone die on your at such a time. I am loving the portable charger and think it’s better than mine because you have your cables there were as mine I might forget them. Great review.
Michellette Mimicutelips Green says
As a blogger I have the greatest appreciation for cellular accessories. I need to step my cellular game up. I like all of these.
Kiwi says
I just cracked my iphone this week and I am so pissy about it! Cell phone accessories are not an option anymore they are manditory!
Leelo says
Oh I’m so sorry to hear that 🙁 But yes cell phone accessories are more or less mandatory, especially if you want your phone to last.
Amy Lovell says
Love the butterfly case! You always need accesories for your phone!
Martina Evans says
Great review! I like the sound of the Olixar 5000mAh High Capacity Power Bank with Built-in Cable – I’m constantly using my phone so this would come in handy.
