I'm about the take the plunge to get the meizu m6, however its likely that i'll forget to charge it somedays, is there any portable usb battery case that will allow me to charge (and use at the same time, hopefully) it via USB and AA/AAA batteries?

I hear they are releasing an external battery case, but i need a solution now and not when its released =P

I'm in Australia, Sydney, so any shops that stock such items would be most helpful, although i don't mind ordering online.

Thanks in advance.

I have one of those larger four AA battery USB chargers but I prefer using my Mintyboost USB charger for my Rio Carbon and Ipod Video and Ipod Nano. It is much smaller than my other charger and only uses two AA batteries. Instead of using the Altoids Gum case, I use heavy duty clear vinyl to wrap around the Mintyboost making a smaller unit.

The big minuses for the Mintyboost is cost ($20) and that it is a do-it-yourself soldering project.
