Nexus 5 battery pack/case recommendations?

[CaffeineBomb]

Hi all, I'm sick and tired of my Nexus running out of charge if I'm on the go all day, can anyone recommend a good (relatively cheap) solution?

I'm thinking either a case with a built in battery pack or an external battery that's ideally small, worst case no bigger than the phone itself. I'm leaning towards the external battery, that way I can leave it in a pocket most of the time and there's no added bulk to my phone when I'm actually using it.

Have you tried here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2918484? They do recommend one, in particular. I just carry a small, lipstick style bank.

Handy, thanks!

Yeah, a small lipstick style bank was my initial thought. Mainly looking for recommendations because there are so many options now and my last one didn't even do half a charge.

I was just reading this https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/culcharge-the-smallest-wearable-3-in-1-powerbank#/story.

This is the one I have http://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00J39QGZC/ref=twister_B00SQY0M1Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. My son used the same with his N4-even worse battery than N5. (He use upped to 6p.)

Nice! Really clever design, especially at that price. That'd be great for emergencies.

About the same capacity as my old one though, I'm thinking at least 1 full charge of the phone so at least 2400mAh

I didn't notice the 1000 capacity.
I've always been happy with products from this company http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...id=1447933432&ref_=sr_1_17&s=wireless&sr=1-17. It may be a little smaller.

That looks damn near ideal! Thanks a lot for the help

I have a flat one from Sony that will fully charge my phone and my Kindle.
