I have reported about products like Lifeproof which are designed to protect the iPhone or other smartphones from water, dust, and the elements, but what about the mobile battery? Yes, I am talking about products like the Magic Juice and others. Oftentimes, these mobile batteries, which are needed by smartphone users on a daily basis, need as much protection as our smartphones.

This is where the Soldier by Digital Treasures comes in. The Soldier is a mobile charging station that is good for 7800 mAh, and it is good against water, dust, and other rough terrain. The Soldier is designed with an IP67 rating, and I took that from the Press Release. In all truth, I don’t know what makes an IP67 different from an IP66, or even what an IP1 is. The Soldier can withstand water submersion up to 3 feet for 30 minutes.

In case you are wondering, the microUSB and USB ports are sealed against the water. I’ve heard that there are LED indicators on the top to see how much juice is in the Soldier, and I wonder if there is the usual four that I see on these mobile battery devices. By the way, I heard that the Soldier has a flashlight on it, which I have seen on many products like these.

You can get the Soldier for about $89.95 on the Digital Treasures site, and I would imagine it would be a good gift for outdoors types like hunters, fisherman, or…soldiers.
