Results: do you prefer a battery case or a power bank?

Over the last decade, smartphones have been getting awesome in all areas — screens, hardware prowess, cameras, sound, water- and dust-proofing, you name it! Well, please just don't name "battery life" — that's still a bit wonky in most cases. Truth be told, there's only so much battery the manufacturers can stuff inside an elegant smartphone's body, at least with today's technologies.

If you are an avid smartphone user or one that takes trips regularly, you probably have some sort of portable battery at the ready. There are two main choices to go for — a powerbank, which can get quite massive; or a battery case, which protects your phone while charging it and doesn't require you to remember that one extra item at all times — it's just connected to your smartphone.

We thought we'd ask — what's your choice, bank or case? Here's what you answered!
