I mean I like the convenience of it, and the form factor, I'm just struggling a bit with the price of it at $39.99 USD. It would be handy to have in times when you need a quick charge, as a backup I suppose, and I like that I can put it in a bag and not have it take up too much space. What are your thoughts?&nbsp;</p>

Over the past few years, finding the perfect auxilliary battery has become a bit of a hunt for the Holy Grail for me, especially when I traveled extensively and wanted to be able to watch movies on long flights. So, I've got several units, ranging in size from the small clip-on type to those that aren't much smaller than my iPhone.

At 1500 mAh, this one's not bad, and you can hardly ever find something like this for less than $50. I haven't used this one specifically, but the specs seem pretty reasonable.
