Any good battery pack will plug directly into the port, so no need for a USB cable. And you're telling me having to take the back cover off, put another battery in, put the cover back on and power back on is somehow less hassle then a Morphie which requires you to do nothing? Interesting outlook. BTW I have a 1800mAh battery pack for my iPod Touch, it weighs almost exactly the same as my EVO 4g's battery. Also how the hell is charging 2 different batteries less hassle? I suppose I could buy a dock that has 2 battery slots, but as it stands the only way I could charge a 2nd EVO battery would be to pop a battery out of my phone and put the other in. Doesn't sound like much less hassle to me. Also another cool thing about the Morphies imho is you can use it to charge anything from a BT headset to a digital camera. It can really come in handy in a pinch. Shit you could even use it to charge a Galaxy S2 with a dead battery
Interesting Outlook. Personally, I didn't pay money for a Galaxy Nexus and it's ultra slim design to throw on a heavy, ugly and expensive (80$) case that adds considerable bulk and adds 50% more weight to the phone.
You can get a battery charger for $10 on Amazon, an extra battery and be done with it. Or you can get a stand w/ extra battery for $25-30 that allows you to charge the phone and extra battery at the same time. It takes all of 10 seconds to change a battery. I would much rather have the ability to swap my own battery out that have an ugly bulky case that takes away from the asthetics of the original form.
It's all personal opinion. I want the ability to control my phone, not have Apple control it for me.
