That bugged me as we'll. Pretty arrogant of the OP to TELL us we want his solution to a problem many of us don't have.
To be honest, I don't see the need for accessories like this either, even if it were pretty and cute. There may be millions of 30 pin sound systems, clock radio's etc sold, but let's not forget that it's still only a fraction of iphone buyers. Most people don't buy any of that stuff, or get some cheap cables and maybe a charging cradle from ebay and be done with it. I'd argue for most people, the new connector is actually better, because it's more durable, easier to insert and double sided. And if you dick around with a phone for more than 6 hours a day, you have more serious problems on your hands than having to decide whether to buy a battery case or not.
I think these kind of accessories are mandatory. BUT! Just to charge the battery, I mean, have it in a bag, your car or wherever and if you ran out of battery put it on until battery's charged again.
I use a non cased one, it's just a buttery I plug to my iPhone through a cable.

I sort of like the idea of this case.. With some revisions I guess. I love the new connector so please remove the extra inch on the bottom. 2x battery life? Sounds good to me. I haven't had a problem yet because I keep a cable to charge it in my car, but I do think the battery life goes pretty quickly. SD slot? Great idea. So many people have complained about this... I was happy without it until I bought my 5. I maybe should have gone with a larger size but I feel like $100 for that little bump in memory is never going to be worth it. I'd be stoked for a memory card slot.
double memory, double battery life? i just buy two 64gb iphone 5 and i guess those stacked up would still be slimmer 
Bulky to me and I wouldn't buy but I feel this is one of the better Kickstarters out there. Many people want something just like this. Gives longer battery, expandable space, better flash. However OP, don't speak for all. I love the new features of the i5.
You should bring this on ABC's Shark Tank or something, just so we can watch them bash it. seriously, they'd love something like this.
Seriously though, Sir Ive would have a heart attack

I am speaking for yourself. I don't like it. It's necessary but until knockoffs cord are available, it's way to expensive. Not everybody works in an office who has a access to a electric port. For me, it's function over how good it looks.
Gosh. It's was just supposed to be a catchy title. Of course, it's a free country, nobody can impose their will on you.
I think it's just supposed to sd card storage. Before you can view a file, you have to copy to the phone first. It's a hassle. But, I don't need extended storage. Extended battery and improved flash is enough for me.
