As for cons for this Galaxy Nexus cover, there’re not so many of them, but some customers mention its a little bit bulky look.

Anker 10000mAh universal USB external battery pack and charger (power bank) can provide more than 6 charging cycles for most of smartphones, for example. It has indicator lights so you can check capacity on the Anker charger. As a negative side of this charger we could call its bulky size. But that’s a required feature for such a high capacity power bank.
