What's the Best-Shootout (battery back up cases)

The Lenmar has a bunch of negative reviews, so much so I'll probably steer clear.



How easily does the uNu's case come off. Since I don't think I can sync my iPhone in iTunes via the cable with the case on, being its using a micro-usb interface?


The uNu case has pass through so you can sync in iTunes without removing the battery case.
I find it to be easiest battery case to take off. The top piece slides off and you slide the iPhone out. I have a video review on amazon if you are interested in a link to it.

I am interested in the mate.
 
I'm currently using the unu power DX 2300mah battery case on my iPhone 5. I also like the phonesuit elite battery case but it is a little bulkier than the unu. I have not seen anything better then the unu. I do not have any mophie cases to compare.

The DX is even bigger than the aero, no?
 
I currently use this:
uNu Power DX External Protective Battery Case for iPhone 5s / iPhon... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00B1UQBGA/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_WXUhtb15H309K
It works great and I get over 100% extra battery power for the day. It has a good feel to it and is not slippery because of the matte finish. This is my favorite battery case of the 13 I have. Only downside is that the battery case charges slowly but I charge it overnight so it is full by my wake up time:)

The uNu and the meridian are the same battery case BTW in terms if specs and shape/design. Plus it is much cheaper than mophie.

I wouldn't touch these with a 10ft pole. I bought two, one for myself and one for my SO. Both died in less than 3 months. One day they wouldn't take a charge and the red light just blinked. I ended up getting the iBattz Mojo Refuel and am much happier with it. Seriously, heed the warnings on Amazon and other sites.

I've been using mine for way more than 3 months. Most likely closer 6 months. Mine still has no problems. I think it depends on how the user cares for the product.
I have the ibattz case as well and it is a pretty good case. I like the replaceable I9300 battery!

I got the gold uNu and the gold lenmar battery case. Literally the same exact case.
