Hi Vicky, Thanks for these links and reviews. I'd be curious to hear what you think about the middle item in your second list of 3 chargers, this one:
[Apple MFi Certified] EagleTec OnTop Ultra-Slim Portable External Battery Charger Pack with Lightning Connector for iPhone 5, 5C, 6, 6 Plus, iPod, and iPad with Brainy Technology (Black) When I looked it up on Amazon.com it mentions it has a capacity of 22,500 MAH and is business card size with a thickness of 0.3 inches which converts to 7.62 mm, the diameter of a 30 Caliber bullet for those who are gun savvy or compared to the iPhone 5S and 6, it is basically the thickness of a 5S which is 7.6mm thick and it would be a bit thicker than an iPhone 6 which is only 6.9mm. Anyhow, this sounds interesting, but I'd be interested in how long the integrated Lightning cable is. Is it basically the length of the unit which is about 3 inches or is it somehow coiled around the charger and is a bit longer. If you do end up ordering this maybe you could measure the cable length or ask somebody to do so and post it here.

My buying place of choice is Amazon here in the United States, and I recently purchased a few of these to try, and will likely give whatever I don't want to a family member or two. Best of all, all the packages so far were small enough that they could be put directly in my mailbox by the USPS mail carrier, and the orders were fulfilled by Amazon. They ranged in price from just over $21 to almost $56, including shipping. I misunderstood the first unit I bought, but kind of like it, anyway, so will likely keep the product. It doesn't have a built-in Apple cable, but comes with a cable one may use: [Apple Certified] UNU Superpak 10000mAh 3.1A Portable Charger External Battery Pack with 2-in-1 Lightning Cable 8Pin and MicroUSB Cable for iPhone 6, 6 Plus, 5S 5, Galaxy S6 S5 and other Android Smartphone - Matte Black www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LXL6L9E/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425155691&s r=8-1&pi=SL75&keywords=unu+10000+battery The next charger I purchased, and the site did warn about this possibility, but the small lightning cable, due to its design in being hidden away in the battery pack, just doesn't work with the case I have on my iPhone, and I'll not likely be taking it off every time I want to charge the unit: [Apple Certified] Brightech - PocketEnergy2T - Portable Battery Charger with Integrated Lightning and Micro-USB Cables - 2600 mAh Battery Cell - Perfect For Travel and Road Warriors - The Most Convenient and Smart Way to Charge Your Phone On The Go - Apple Certified www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IMKACHG/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1425156115&s r=8-4&pi=SL75&keywords=usb+%26+apple+connector+battery+charger I'll likely keep the last three chargers I bought. The first two, I have tried them, and they do work with my phone in its case, and I might even carry the smaller one, which will be the middle one in this next list, with me. As for the last one that will be listed below, I just saw and purchased it today, doing so because it claims to have both an Apple connector, as well as a connector to be plugged into the wall for charging, and the product reviews were very positive. Now for those last three links: [MFI Apple-Certified] EasyAcc® iChoc 5000mAh Integrated Apple 8-Pin Lightning Connector Cable External Battery Dual USB Ultra Slim Built-in LED Flashlight Portable Power Bank for iPhone 6 Plus 5 5C 5S - Matte Black www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00MWRNMEK/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1425157082&s r=8-1&pi=SL75&keywords=ichoc [Apple MFi Certified] Eagletec ONTOP Ultra-Slim Portable External Battery Charger Pack with Lightning Connector for iPhone 5, 5C, 6, 6 Plus, iPod, and iPad with Brainy Technology (Black) www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P7JEUCI/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1425157253&s r=8-3&pi=SL75&keywords=lightning+connector+2500+battery [Apple MFI Certified] RAVPower® Savior Multi-functional External Battery Pack Portable Charger Built-in Apple Lightning Connector with AC Plug, iSmart Broad Compatibility, Fast Charging for iPhone 6, 6 plus;iPhone 5, 5S, 5C; iPad mini, iPad Air www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00Q2B5KY2/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?qid=1425158264&s r=8-4&pi=SL75&keywords=apple+certified+battery+charger ----- Original Message ----- From: "MamaPeach" <[email protected] To: <[email protected] Date sent: Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:57:55 -0500 Subject: Re: External Battery & Lightening Cable None of them that I have looked into buying come with a lightning cable. You have to use your own, which is what I do with the Anker Astro that I was given for Christmas. -----Original Message----- From: Lynda Ingraham Sent: Monday, February 23, 2015 3:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: External Battery & Lightening Cable Hi Everyone, I purchased an external battery pack for my 5s. The advertisement indicated it works with all Iphones. They did not send a lightening cable. Can I use my lightening cable without worrying about damaging my phone?
