If you really don't care about size there are plenty of options, especially for phones like the Note3 with replaceable backs[1].Even for the iPhone you can buy a wrap around case that embeds a battery.

Yeah absolutely, but I wish it was just part of the phone model.

A Note 3 with the pack you linked to could easily do 2 full days of medium to heavy usage.
