mophie - Juice Pack access External Battery Case with Wireless Charging for Apple® iPhone® XS Max - Black

The iPhone charger is nice and slim not too bulky.

Pros: sleek design, easy to use, you can get UP TO 2.25 charges out of it when its brand new. If you use it on a regular basis though that drops significantly. Con: after a few months 2.25 charges turned into 1.10 charges. Pretty expensive for it to wear out that quickly. For this reason I don't recommend it.

It literally does what it’s supposed to, but seemingly, in the most inconvenient manner. It’s very heavy and large (understandable for an external battery but surprisingly so). When charging, the phone heats up quite a bit. I do like the pass through charging and the fact that it uses a USB C charger.

The case is bulky and upon charging the case to full, it wont charge the iphone 100 percent. Also it heats up more than normal cell phone on charge. wont be using day to day but if travelling, this thing will help you definitely.

I have been a mophie owner for many years. Each time I upgrade I would get the appropriate mophie for my new iPhone. When I upgraded to the iPhone XS Max it was no different. Mophie has always provided hours of extra charging when I have needed it, and being on my phone all day traveling I need all the juice I can get. Prior to the CS Max mophie I have been relying on a Anker power pack to keep me charged. I thought that with the new mophie I would not need to be tethered to it anymore but that is simply not the case. This mophie does wireless charging and it must be inefficient as hell because it can only charge the battery for about an hour before it’s depleted. What’s worse is that if you’re using the phone while the mophie is charging, it doesn’t increase the phones charge by much at all. Another annoying thing is it makes the phone buzz off and on as it turn on and off during the charging process. Bottom line is, the case is the same rugged material and it protects my phone well but it is not the quality of charging I was expecting of Mophie. I don’t need my lightning port free for anything, the world is wireless. Unless they fix things I won’t buy another wireless charging case from Mophie. It doesn’t help much.
