Great to have extra battery life
I really like having the extra battery life that this case provides but there are a few downsides that make me question the case itself: 1. The power plug to charge the case is different than the plug for the iPhone which means having to carry both around to charge or may have to pull the case off to charge just the phone. 2. setting the case in the sun for the solar panel to charge the case battery overheats the phone and it shuts down until the phone cools off for use again. 3. charging using the solar panel takes forever. i really don't know how long it takes to charge the case battery using it since i can never leave it in the sun long enough for it to charge. 4. the case probably double the weight of the phone. having double the battery life may out weight this issue so this isn't a really big one for me. 5. the case extends the end of the phone so the headphone plug requires an extension. the extension is provided with the case but it means you have to use it. i have noticed that my headphones with the microphone doesn't work with the extension so i have to use the speaker phone and mic (which isn't always a good thing.) 6. the case makes the phone too big for my wife's pocket. lucky for me i have big pockets in my pants or i wouldn't be able to use it. I'll continue to use the case for awhile to see if it is really worth the extra battery. I'm clicking "yes" for recommending but I wish there was a "maybe" since the jury is still out.

Actually Works
I've owned a few of these battery cases over the years only to use the a couple of days and move on. This one actually works and my phone had been happily living in it a couple of months now. The solar is really a gimmick but does work as described. With this o can actually turn on location services and still use my phone all day. It does get hot while charging the iPhone from the case battery but it's acceptable. The rubbery feel of the case is also nice. The additional thickness took a couple days to get accustomed to but no more than any other case. I haven't dropped my phone so I cannot testify to its ability to protect but it feels like it would do a good job.

Moderately pleased
This case is a good buy for the money. There are some minor problems but nothing too serious. The solar pannel only works when the light is very bright. It also has a problem with jamming my power button which gets annoying but isn't harmful as of yet. It is also quite large, it nearly doubles the thickness of my iPhone 5s. But I mainly bought it for its charging capabilities which are excellent. It gives me about two phone battery life's.
