Help with external battery for iPhone

[fredf]

I'm looking for a battery and I don't want one that hangs off the end of the phone or even connects via a cable.
I want a jacket design...something like the Mophie Juice or Mili.
I haven't seen any Mophies for under $100, which is too expensive.
There are a couple of Mili's for about $70 on ebay out of Hong Kong and then there are these other 2 options.

I'd really like some advice about any experience with these products from Asia.

Mophie Juice Pack Air is $79.00

There's also the 'Power Slider (http://goincase.com/products/detail/power-slider-ec20009)' by Incase; it's a jacket style extended battery for the iPhone.

case-mate fuel cost like the others but include twice of the capacity.

I have the Mophie Juice Pack Air and it fits nice and will recharge your phone from 0% to 80%. And unless they raised the price recently, they are $79.

Funniest thing. This case has been removed from the incase website and the Apple store. Does anyone know if it was deemed discontinued or what?

Maybe it was causing iPhone fires. :)
