This year I didn’t have to worry about not being able to charge my electronic devices. Though I do ride with a team, electricity isn’t guaranteed and hasn’t been in my 22 RAGBRAI’s. Sometimes it is easy to find, sometimes it isn’t. It may also depend on how long you want to wait in line to get your turn. So this year I purchased an ISource power supply to recharge my Garmin, phone and MP3 player overnight while I slept. I gave it a full charge before going on RAGBRAI and it lasted the entire week without having to recharge it. It is about the size of a paperback book, weighs very little, and so packed easily in my tote for the week. It has 5 USB slots to charge devices. I highly recommend it.

Yes it was the iSound Portable Power Max that I referenced above.
http://www.amazon.com/i-Sound-Portable-Power-iPhone-BlackBerry/dp/B00439G3WS. They have several different models to pick from if you don’t think you will need something with that big of charge. But this one worked well for me.

Make sure your case has impact absorbing corners … http://www.themydiscount.com/luxury-jean-case-for-ipad-3-2-wake-up-and-sleep-leather-case-p-1230.html this is where the first impact usually occurs when dropped and anything that can reduce the shock transferred to the iPhone is what you want.
Don’t choose a case that is made of a hard or brittle material. Not only might it crack, it will also tend to transfer impact forces better than a more pliant material, unless it’s wrapped around a more resilient, inner, rubbery layer. Even then, one drop and, http://www.themydiscount.com/ipad-3-c-932.html while the phone might still work, the case will probably not be as cool as it once was.
If you usually keep your http://www.themydiscount.com/transparent-cover-for-ipad-3-smart-cover-partner-plastic-skin-p-1217.html iPad in your pocket make sure that the surface finish of the case has low “drag.” Trying to extract an iPhone in a “sticky” case while sitting down becomes a feat of strength and will involve contortions that are unwise when driving or enjoying air travel.
Beware of fancy painted or textured finishes, they will wear off and or get dull.
