Does anyone have a recommendation for a small extended battery pack that does not weigh a ton but has good power? I don't want the type that is a case that the phone fits into.
TY!

I have several different external battery chargers (that's what happens when you're in the event business and may not be able to be near a charger for many hours, but have to have constant access to your phone!) I like the case I have the best, but since you don't want that style, my 2nd favorite is my Mophie charger. It gives me the most 'extra life' of all of them.
I have the regular Mophie as well as the dual USB port one. Definitely get the single port one if you want the least bulky option. The dual port is pretty heavy.

I can second the mophie charger, but invest in a second cable to keep with the charger because it doesn't come with one. For my older iPhone without the lightening connector I had a battery that had a cord that pulled out of the side of the battery where it tucked in. I liked that a lot but I don't think anyone has one out with the tucked in cord.

I have a dual port Mophie and love it. I use it at a lot of kids' sporting events. It holds multiple charges. It was the best birthday gift my husband ever gave me and my girls love it too.

I also have a dual port Easy ACC battery that comes with 2 cables (one short, one long). We've used both of these packs many times while on vacation. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H9BEC8E |

On the recommendation of a friend, I bought this one. It's a touch clunky because I have to secure it to my phone with a rubber band, but I only need it when I run and my app uses more charge than my phone can carry. It's a wonderful little charger and it's a cheap $20.00 You could buy 2 for the same price of so many that are billed for iPhones only.  ETA: It's size is a real bonus to me as a runner who thinks about weight and keeping things in tiny pockets. |

So you are saying you don't want a Mophie case? It's very slim and recharges your phone at the flick of a switch. When you charge your phone you are also charging the case - it's a no-brainer. To me that's way better than carrying around some type of external case that I have to charge separately. I guess I'm asking your requirements that a Mophie wouldn't fulfill. You could also just get a charging cable that goes into your car lighter thing. |

which Mophie Case would you recommend? I happen to have the Juice Pak Air - it provides a 100% charge. I like it because the bottom slides off easily so I can connect the phone to my computer (iTunes, photo transfer) using the special iPhone cable or I can leave the bottom on and charge the phone and case using a micro USB cord. The Mophie provides excellent protection - you may recall my saga of when I accidentally dropped my iPhone in the giant recycling bin at Waste Management. (I also have a Zagg screen protector on it.) It came out with only a couple of small nicks on the case. Pretty amazing. |

The Mophies come in different models - 80% charge, 100% or 120% for real heavy users. They also make a rugged case - military grade impact - if you need that sort of thing. I have the red one - it's a rich color. It has a nice grip to it so it doesn't slip easily.
