I purchased and have been using the iCarrier for about five months.  It has gotten me out of a number of dying phone jams, as well as helping friends whose phones were dying.  One day, I took my iCarrier out of my purse and it disappeared.  I looked all over the house and couldn't find it.  I then decided to buy the iTorch, which is less money that the iCarrier, since I didn't want to give up hope on finding the iCarrier.  The iTorch is great.  It's small so it fits in my smaller purse, and charges my iPhone just as quickly as the iCarrier.  I haven't timed how long it takes to charge or how long the iTorch holds a charge, but it's usually a few days before I have to charge the iTorch.  I tend to plug my phone into it when the battery is low and carry it around that way until I get home and then charge my iPhone normally.  The LED light is a great option to have, and has helped me find things in the bottomless pit that is my purse.  The laser pointer is also good if you're giving a presentation, or just to annoy friends and cats.  I like having those options, since you never know when you may need a light.  About a week after getting the iTorch, I found the iCarrier hiding underneath a tablecloth.  For now, I use the iCarrier in my larger purse and the iTorch in my smaller purse, but I'm sure when my son gets home from college he will pilfer the iTorch as he is always running out of battery on his iPhone.  These products are very well made, and work better than expected.  If you have any electronic gadget, you need to have this to help you always stay connected!
