There's that feeling of loneliness when you want something, but the market moves away and leaves you with only out of date devices fully matching your needs. I sympathize. And if there is a market for 5mm case+battery packs (and really, aren't these almost only available for iPhones?) there should be a market for a phone with twice or more battery life from the start, built-in. I don't think nakedrobot2 is the only one wanting that.

  > And if there is a market for 5mm case+battery packs (and really, aren't these almost only available for iPhones?) For phones with replaceable batteries such battery cases are somewhat unnecessary as you can just make/use an extended battery with a replacement back cover. Check out this beauty, for instance: ;) http://www.amazon.co.uk/5200mAh-Extended-GT-I9505-18-Month-Warranty/dp/B00CPLEKTO/ http://www.amazon.co.uk/5200mAh-Extended-GT-I9505-18-Month-W...

    I had spare batteries when using feature phones. And most of the time I'd want to use one the spare would be dead, because: 1. the main battery is dead because I didn't think about charging it. The chances I would have remembered charging the spare were abysmal as well. 2. I also need a spare charger for the spare battery. Or I'd need to swap it in the phone when I have access to an outlet, and it would take twice the time to charge the main battery and the spare. Again, time and preparation. All in all, an extension to the phone is clunky, but still the best trade-off if I needed it.

I sympathize as well, but manufacturers aren't 100% to blame here. They make what people buy, and people want thin phones because it makes them feel like they're living in the future™. > And if there is a market for 5mm case+battery packs there should be a market for a phone with twice or more battery life from the start, built-in. I don't think nakedrobot2 is the only one wanting that. You're asking the wrong question. There's a "market" for just about anything. The question is, how big is it? How big are companies like Morphie? Are they big enough that a company like Samsung --- forget Apple, because we all know it takes Jupiter-sized markets for Apple to add new SKUs -- to roll variants of their current line up to serve this market? Sorry for the truckload of rhetorical questions. We already know the answers to those questions, because we can observe the market. I'm just glad the market is large enough to support companies like Morphie, because otherwise, we'd be out of luck entirely.

I'm sure it's plenty more than 1% of the market so let's just say 'millions'.

I could join the bigger battery crowd. We are stuck with the same battery life an iPhone 1 had. The incremental battery and efficiency gains are consumed by displays and more and more apps running in the background and we still don't have a phone that can last a day on moderate burn. Or just make a standard for batteries like AA and just let people replace them. Its revolutionary idea that has been around for the last couple of decades.

I am pretty sure that 100% of the market does not want only thin phones :) But that is what the market is currently offering. I am pretty sure that frequent travellers, workers who are constantly on the move, using maps, etc. etc. want a battery that doesn't die before lunch time.
