Random thought: Why hasn't anyone made such an external battery pack for macbooks? Are people more okay with their laptops dying than their phones? do macbook batteries last long enough that people don't see a need?
Back in the days when I owned a giant Toshiba laptop I always had a secondary battery.

@jeffandersen Multiple reasons: laptop batteries are much bigger and last longer, the external battery would be also heavy.
The main issue is Apple has the patent on Magsafe and it doesn't let others use it. There are battery pack (HyperJuice) but you need to cut a power adapter to use them: http://www.hypershop.com/product...
Apple logo? Check. Stylish bulk? Double check. Actually it would make my iPhone look like it's pregnant with an iPhone 4s. Prettiness aside: I bet it will feel much better than other cases when holding it. I am also curious how well will the integrated antennas work. It's also a nice Apple-y touch that iOS can detect the case and show its battery status separately.
