Saw this is the deal of the day at http://1saleaday.com/main/ Not sure if it is any good as I can't find any reviews anywhere. Any thoughts?

This case isn't the best looking thing around because it's designed to work with multiple phones and it doesn't offer much impact protection.

I ended up buying this ebay case for about $10 more and it works great.

How did you get it for $10? Seller wants $36 for it.

I personally prefer a power bank vs. a battery case. I have the xRobot from Ravpower and not only does it give 3 times more charging capabilities than the one you're looking at but it keeps my phone from being bulky. Well, that's just what I prefer though. Check it out if you want. This would work with your iphone 5 with the cable you already own and it has a 30 pin apple certified connector for any other "i" products you may have.

I also have a power bank if that's what you wanna call it. I also have the Mophie for when I'm on the go. The Powerbank I have is the iSound Power Bank. It has 16,000mAh, 5 USB slots and a built in flash light. It was very great when Hurricane Sandy hit and we were out of power for a week. Where I work there was power so id just charge it up while I was at work. It's costly at $70. But I got mine around a year and a half ago. Recent Amazon reviews, people are calling it a fire hazard although I never once experienced anything with it smoking up or burning or heating up.

It LOOKS like a quality case. How about more details, such as what percentage recharge you get with this external battery, and build quality (esp. if your phone is safe from scratches within this battery case.
