Here's my setup. Bought the case from Best Buy for $19.99 and the Charger was $39.99. Got the retractable micro USB cable from Fry's for $8.99. I had to cut a small hole in the side of the case so I could access the USB port. Basically, I just slip the charger into my pocket while I have my phone in the case. I recommend using either a bluetooth or wired headset so that you don't have to keep unplugging the USB to answer the phone. This may seem extreme but I can tell you that I was out at the ROT Rally all day Saturday from around 10am to 3am Sunday morning and when I got home my EVO battery was at 100% and my Energizer still had two bars. I had the Sirius/XM app running the entire time. This is the XP2000 by the way.
