One of my favorite sites for checking new installer apps is called InstallerApps.com. Recently the author did a great post on how to save your battery life. This article is specific toward iPods, but they can also be very helpful to iPhone users.

For me the three biggest tips are Less Email Addresses, Turn WiFi Off and Turn SSH Off. The reasons I think these are the three biggest is because they all have to do witch checking things while it is in sleep mode. It is always checking for wifi, always ready for SSH and always checking your e-mail. The less you can make it do these things, the better.

Here is the full 10 Ways to Increase your Battery Life by Installer Apps

1) Plug in your jailed iPhone or iPod Touch on the latest firmware (1.1.4). If you have an iPhone, it should be activated at this time.

2) Download the latest version of ZiPhone (3.0) for Windows or Mac from http://www.downloadziphone.org/

3) Open ZiPhone

4) You may wither leave iTunes open or close it. If you choose to close it, also close iTunes Helper in Activity Monitor so it does not reopen when you are jailbreaking. You may also leave iTunes open while jailbreaking, but remember not to touch it until the jailbreaking is done.

5) In ZiPhone, press the advanced tab. Then check off “Jailbreak (iPhone or iTouch).” Make sure nothing else is checked. Then click “Start Advanced Process.” This method will work with either the iPod Touch or iPhone, but there are alternative buttons on the main page. For the iPhone specifically, click “jailbreak” under iPhone. For the iPod Touch, click “Jailbreak & Activate” under iPhone/iPod Touch.

The DLO Jam Jacket skin for my iPhone expired a few days ago. The silicone started to rip in a few places such as the near the volume buttons and edges of the screen. It got to the point where it was just too annoying to use and therefor, I needed a new case. I decided to get a similar, yet more expensive case called the iSkin Revo. iSkin is known for making the best cases for all things Apple so I thought I’d give them a try.

The Revo comes with the silicone case itself, a visor screen protector, a protective privacy film, and a port protector. The port protector is a small silicone piece that plugged into your dock connector like this:
