Hi Sieghard. Mycharge is also on their way with a model with a built in cable for IPhone 5, but unfortunately they will not sell for Denmark. I would love to have a battery with built in cables for micro USB and connecter for IPhone 5.
I have looked in apple store, to find another backup battery, but there was nothing real interesting there. Cheers Annie.
