I'm constantly running out of charge when I'm out and about. I need something that is small that I can just plug in the bottom. Nothing too fancy, I'm looking for a full charge or almost a full charge in 2 hours or under. The thing I'm most concerned about is if it will fit with my otterbox defender on? I don't wanna spend more than 30.

I have the Zagg Sparq. It's a whopping 3600 mAh and can charge two usb powered devices simultaneously. They run sales and hand out promo codes regularly, so you can get it for $50 if you keep an eye out.

It can charge it to full from empty. This was the very first external battery I ever had with my first iPhone. Love RS products.

That is an amazing deal! I just picked up two as gifts.

Not really an external case but this is what I have and it's great.

They also have a external one too 

I *like* that. It's sort of like the Sedio for BB. Does it just attach and work, or do you have to tell it to start charging your phone or what? I'm tempted. It's much more elegant than a battery hanging off the bottom of your phone.

Check out New Trent's products. They offer very high capacity batteries for great prices. There are many reviews about the products on Amazon too.
