Back when we reviewed the Mophie Juice Pack Air in April, we decided it was one of the most useful iPhone 3G accessories on the market.  Make no mistake, the iPhone 3G users here at SlashGear love Apple’s smartphone, but we’re less keen on how quickly heavy use can chew through its battery life.  Now, thanks to a little Mophie generosity, we’ve got a Juice Pack Air to give away to one lucky SlashGear reader!
