iPhone 5 Battery Case Recommendation
I'm looking at purchasing a battery case for my iPhone 5.
I know most (all?) are two-piece cases. I've had bad luck with two-piece cases in the past. They seem to loosen up over time and loose their effectiveness.
Any recommendations? Capacity isn't a priority for me. My biggest concern is durability and sturdiness.
Mophie?
Lenmar Meridian?
Powerskin looks nice, but I've never seen one in person.
iBattz has removable batteries so you can carry an extra with you. Sounds nice, but I don't like additional moving parts that can be lost or fail.

I highly recommend Pong cases. Very durable (especially the rugged models).
Pong cases are the ONLY cases on the market that are FCC tested/approved to reduce radiation exposure, improve antenna performance, and reduce dropped calls. But for me, the biggest thing is that I feel more comfortable holding the phone to my head and worrying less about cancer-causing radiation!

(I have no connection to this company aside from being a satisfied customer.)

Thanks for the comments about the Mophie. How do the two pieces of the case fit together? Is there an internal clasp or latch? Is it just friction?
Thanks for the Pong case recommendation. However, they don't make a battery case.

I am in the market for an iPhone 5s case myself, and have been trying to find some hard data on the Pong case, so far without any success.
