One wonders how many you own?

Do you have comprehension issues? This shows that you didn't even bother to understand Barryem and katie1's posts.
The selling point of the device is that it can be used separately from the case.
A single charge on the device battery lasts 6-7 hours because it's a puny 250mAh battery.
Batteries have limited charging cycles.
A smaller battery will use up those limited charging cycles much faster than a bigger battery and lose it's staying power on a charge much faster, and dies sooner too
Charging cycles are charging cycles, and it makes no difference if the puny battery is being charged from a power outlet or USB or the case - as far as it's lifecycle goes - they're all equivalent. Just because you use the case to recharge, as opposed to USB, it makes absolutely no difference to it's inexorable march towards death (do you finally understand why it makes such a huge difference when a battery is 250 mAH as opposed to 1350??)
What you're going to have is an Oasis where the case battery will chug along merrily for long, but when your device battery itself stops holding a long enough (or any at all) charge, it completely takes away the option of using the device on it's own (which was a major selling point).
