IMO i wouldn't get it since no one ever heard of it including my self and not many links show up on google in a search. I have the maxboost atomic air and it works great.

The maxboost adds about .5 cm more to the length of the iPhone 5. Most battery cases have this so the speaker sounds can sound clear.

UNU, iCheer, Mophie, Maxboost, they are all fine batteries. I personally have used Mophie as stated in an earlier post, but all four are the same type of battery it just doubles the life (although Mophie Air Plus gives you a bit more than just a day). Then once the battery is done, you have to rely on your iPhone's battery. You need to charge the case to use it again. What I like about iBattz is you can carry several regular cell phone batteries with you and just pop them in when needed. Yes you need to recharge the batteries as well, but you're only limited to how many spares you want to carry. This why I believe the iBattz Refuel (Armor) is the best option here.
 
i believe u cant go past the icheer cause of its size 12.9 x 6.2 x 1.3 cm :) i have also discoverd it is exactly the same as the alpatronix battery case

There's also the Lenmar Meridian.

Here's a review of the case in 9to5 Mac:

Now I have a cheap knockoff I bought at Chinatown in NY as I needed my phone and was out of batt.

Since I'm running iOS 7 beta I got the accessory not certified message while I have the case on so, now I'm planing in getting a MFI certified one and was gunning for the mophie air but was hesitant in shelling out the 99 until I saw the Lenmar review and the case.

I'll be getting one soon to try it out.

coming from someone who has tried the crappy amazon knockoffs, I would go to bestbuy and buy a mophie or an authorized mophie reseller. As amazon is not one of them. Mophie has never been a problem and with a receipt you can warranty rma and product that stops working for whatever reason

edit: also there must be a reason almost every iphone 5 battery case is identical to the mophie.

Maxboost Defender Battery Case No Cell Service

I just received the Masboost Defender Iphone battery case and was excited as it is smaller than my Mophi. However after putting it on my phone read no service after a few minutes. Has anyone had that problem? I removed the case and had service again. I am with Verizon.
