The Flex Pocket Charger from PhoneSuit is a small, pocket sized battery designed for iPhones and iPods with Apple's Lightning connector. (30-pin connections will also work with the aid of an adaptor cable.)

Color options
The Flex Pocket Charger is quite small and lightweight. The dimensions are 2.8 x 1.1 x 0.8-in (7.3 x 2.8 x 2.1 cm), and it weighs 2.78 ounces (79 grams). It has battery capacity of 2600 mAh with DC output of 5V at 1 amp.
Size comparison
It provides up to 18 hours talk time, up to 22 hours video time, and up to 90 hours music time. There is a USB to micro charging cable included and with it plugged in, users can charge both the battery and their device at the same time in passthrough mode.
There are four LED lights that monitor the amount of charge remaining, and the battery includes an electrostatic touch button that responds to your fingerprint to tell you how much power is remaining.

Using The Product
The battery has a protective cover over the lightning connector that is removed when the battery is in use, and I noted a problem in trying to keep from losing it. I was able to use the battery with my iPhone 5 wearing a very slim case with no problems at all. It's designed to connect directly to the iPhone or iPod, and so using a 30-pin to Lighting converter cable won't have the same aesthetics.
The electrostatic touch button is a nice extra, nothing to push, just gently place your finger on the button area. It easily fit into my pockets and the protective cover stayed in place even when I kept it in my pocket for an entire day.
I was able to recharge my iPhone 5 from ten percent capacity to full charge in two hours.
Do I Recommend It?
I do. It is a handy and quick way to keep your device charged without the necessity of a full cover battery case. It is easy to carry around and should be particularly helpful to those who need a small charger, but with plenty of capacity for when they're away from their primary charging station.
