Do you know if the Photive would work with the Apple Leather case? Would the connector fit?

I have one of the Anker 5600 mah ones from Amazon. Works incredibly well and looks good to boot. Very happy with the purchase.

Thanks for the great info. So if I am only looking for a battery for 1-3 charges. will 5600 be enough?

Any thoughts on this item?

I have reviewed it. I did not really like it. Apple Certified is not needed for battery packs except ones that have a built in connector.
I would get this one:
Jackery Bar 5600mAh (Black) Premium Portable Power Bank Pack External Battery Backup Charger with 2.1A Output and Built-In Flashlight for iPhone 5S, 5C, 5, 4S, 4, iPad, iPad Mini, iPod (Apple Cable Required) Samsung Galaxy S4, S3, S2, Note 2, HTC One, EVO, Thunderbolt, Incredible, Droid DNA, Motorola ATRIX, Moto X, Droid, Google Glass, Nexus 4, LG Optimus and More; Premium Samsung Battery Cell and Aluminum Enclosure

Also worth mentioning:
Their are many companies who have the same exact battery as each other but juts babe their logo:
For example(i do not own these:
EC TECHNOLOGY® 5600mAh Backup External Battery Pack Charger With Built-in Flashlight For Apple iPhone 5(Lightning Adapter Not Included) 4S 4G 3GS 3G, iPad, iPad 2, The New iPad, iPad Mini, iPod, Most Android Phones, Motorola Triumph, Verizon Droid Razr, X2, Bionic, Samsung Galaxy S3 S III I9300 S4 I9500 I9505, Galaxy note II 2, All Samsung Galaxy S i9000 S2 i9100 S3 Mini i8190 Note 9220, HTC One X, One S, Sensation G14, ThunderBolt, LG Optimus, Nokia N9 Lumia 1020 900 800, DV, GoPro Hero3, Sony PS Vita, Kindle - [12 Months Warranty]
http://amzn.com/B00A2HD7FG


And these 2 with a different logo on it:

PowerGen Mobile 5200mAh External Battery Pack High Capacity Power Bank Charger 1A output for Apple iPad 2, iPhone 4 4s 3Gs 3G, iPod Touch / Samsung Galaxy S3 S S2 S II, Advance, Galaxy Nexus, Epic 4G / Blackberry Torch Bold Curve / HTC Sensation 4G, XE, XL, One X, Thunderbolt, EVO Shift 3D, Inspire / LG Optimus V 2X 3D t / Motorola Droid Razr X 3 2 Bionic, Atrix 2, Triumph / Nokia Lumia 900 800

Zmanbaseball2, thanks for all the great info. I just ordered this Anker. I was going to go with the 12000, but liked the size of this one a bit better, and it looks to fit my needs. Looks like it has the same quality built as the Astro 3.

Thanks again.

I had bought a iphone 5 case that was a cheaper. It was a generic one that was like 30$ on ebay and it has the lightning cable on it.

If you want to invest a little money go buy you a morphine from bestbuy or something
