Case-mate BlackBerry Bold Fuel – Rechargeable Battery Pack from Case Mate on Vimeo.

Most accessories don’t really grab my attention, but once in awhile there’s a cool one that pops up that really stands out. Case-Mate has just announced a new holster called Fuel that has an extra battery built into it, and thanks to those rarely-used external contacts on the BlackBerry (NSDQ: RIMM) Bold, it can charge while docked. A power switch lets you chose when you juice up your BlackBerry, so you’re not just wasting your extra power on a full battery. For those who wear holsters anyway, this is a fantastic upgrade on the bundled one. It doesn’t look like it adds too much more bulk and it seems to function simply enough.

The Samsung Upstage had a similar setup, only the double-sided phone actually required continual recharging from a dedicated holster to keep going. If you need some extra e-mail time, you can grab Fuel from case-mate for $79.99
