External Batteries etc.

[suntopper]

Does anyone have experience with external batteries? I usually just buy extra batteries for things like five hour plane rides, etc., but I've got the verizon case with the kickstand (which I'm loving) and I'm not sure I want to keep taking it off and replacing it every time I need to replace the battery. It seems like the case fit would just get loose after multiple removals. I saw some external batteries during my research and figured it wouldn't be to bad to have the phone and an external battery sitting on my tray!

Not sure I have seen external batteries... are you talking ones the plug in via USB or something for "emergency" power/charge?

The type you plug in via usb to "charge" your phone. Here's a link to one I was looking at yesterday.
IPhone Battery Charger, IPad 2 Backup Batteries, 3G IPod Touch Battery

I'm just thinking it would be better to plug it in than to remove the case and swap batteries.
