Battery holds ok, case discolored & chipped
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've purchased the white smart battery-case for iPhone 7. The apple smart battery works fairly well, as a battery-pack. However, as a case isn't as intuitive, or has the quality you will expect from an Apple pruduct. The case is a disappointment; the silicon surface absorbed colors from fabric and dirt from the surroundings. Additionally, it started chipping in the corners (chunks of silicon material fell off), at least mine did within two weeks of use. Best Buy, will not exchange it, since the purchase took place over 14 days. I was told to deal with Apple directly. When you spend $100 you expect better quality and service. Positives: good backup-battery pack, works and fits well, it has a nice feel, and it's fairly light Negatives: case chips easily, discoloration, the white case easily absorbs colors and dirt from the environment, expensive, poor support/service from Bestbuy and Apple.

Horrible Wear and tear
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although the case holds a good charge, it lacks many of the features other battery cases have. The battery case has the worst wear and tear I have ever had on a case and I have had it for less than a year.

Bad quality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had it for a year and while the battery still holds, the material is just falling appart and it seems to be a design flaw since my coworker had the same problem. Here are some pictures from my phone snd my coworkers phone. Not a good purchase, specially for the price.

So-so design, awesome functionality!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was skeptical at first, but after using this for a couple weeks, it turned out to be a solid device. I have heard many people opine the device's design and lack of usual Apple flair, and I have to agree, the design is somewhat obtuse. However, from a practical standpoint, I have come to appreciate it. Before I tried this device, I used Mophie's popular Juicepack Air. However, I did not care for the extra bulk the Mophie added. When I started using this case from Apple, I immediately preferred its ergonomics. Let me explain. In the middle of the device, you can definitely see that it matches the thickness of the Mophie Juicepack Air. However, the "ungainly" hump on Apple's case is nice from an ergonomic standpoint, as the battery bulge and extra thickness does not cover the entire back of the device. Instead, the top, bottom and edges of the back are pretty close to the thickness of a regular rubber case. So at least for me, when holding my phone with the Apple case in my hand, I preferred how easy it was to grip the bottom and sides compared to the all around thickness of the Mophie unit. As far as weight, I found the Mophie and this case to feel similar in the hand as far as heft, and quick acclimated to both. As for performance, this case definitely differs from the Mophie case mentioned above in a few key areas. First, overall capacity is pretty similar, with both cases extending your phone almost a full charge. Whereas the Mophie case can be turned on and off at will with its power button, this Apple case works automatically. So essentially, after plugging in overnight, when I take my phone off the charger, the case will discharge slowly, keeping the phone at 100%. Once the case discharges, you still have 100% phone battery left that then is used by the phone. The only way to know the battery charge status of the case while in use is to look on your iPhone's battery status indicator. However, if you are charging the case by itself, without the phone inserted, there is a status indicator on the inside of the case. So if you like having the option to decide when the case turns on and off, this is not the case for you. However, if you prefer just to unplug and go, without worrying about having to press a separate power button for your case, this one is for you! A couple other notes. In my use so far, I have not felt the Apple case get overly warm at all while charging the phone. When using the Mophie case, there was a noticeable increase in warmth, though never dangerous or concerning. Just something to think about. Additionally, this case uses the same lightning cable as the iPhone and has pass through charging, so it will charge your phone first. If you go with a battery pack other than Apple's, you will most likely need to charge with a micro USB cable, so something to keep in mind. In the end, as I mentioned at the start, I prefer the ease of use and ergonomics of this device over the Mophie Juicepack Air. I love the idea of never having to run out of battery during the day, no matter how much I use my phone. For me, this case was definitely worth the investment.

Better and happier…
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this battery case a year ago for my iPhone SE 2020. It isn’t really categorized for that phone, but works perfectly with it. Since the battery in the phone is meager, this case is a worthy enhancement. Over the past year, I’ve experimented with lesser battery cases, Qi charging, MagSafe style cases with magnetic batteries, etc. Drove Amazon crazy with my purchases and returns. Bottom Line: this is the best solution for the SE 2020 battery problem.. other than replacement of the actual phone battery. It works great.. battery pack battery lasts most of my day of use, while actual phone battery kicks in during the evening. I set it up to charge at night, and both batteries are ready again in the morning. I have found it good to remove the case maybe once a month to clean it and charge separately.. which seems to help the iPhone keep recognizing the case properly. Once in awhile.. rarely.. it gets into a funk where it doesn’t seem to see the case battery during charging.. so sporadic removal and separate charging helps. Get one if you can still find one! I love my SE 2020 and intend to keep it until several more generations of iPhones emerge. This case will help that along!

Unfortunately a Necessary Product for Many iPhones
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Only a year in, and my iPhone 7 is experiencing dramatically lower battery life than when it began. So I went on the hunt for a battery case that would reliably save the day for my phone. I've tried two (and returned two) other brands of battery cases for this, one was a high-rated case from Amazon, the other was from a suspicious and possibly a tad fraudulent company called PowerPlusCases. Both were of somewhat cheap make, and the PowerPlusCases battery, while containg 5500mAh of power, tended to overheat quickly. I didn't necessarily want to turn back to Apple (we have trust issues these days), and there are many low reviews for this pricey case, but when I found it in store for $84 I thought I may as well give it a shot. I don't mind the shape, and the hinge design makes removing the iPhone easy and safe, and so far I haven't experienced any crazy amount of dust collecting or peeling for the silicone/grippy texture, as some other users have. The major problem at first was getting it to accept a charge from off-brand cheap cables, so buyers please be aware, you may experience difficulty charging this case unless you purchase Apple Certified quality lighting cables and adapters. Once that was sorted, charging both my phone and the case to full capacity separately was the best way to begin the synchronization without any crazy disconnects/reconnects. Once both were fully charged, I was then able to begin using it seamlessly. It keeps my iPhone at 100% until it's drained, and I can keep an eye on its battery life in realtime because the iPhone recognizes it as an official accessory. That's nifty. Overall, my phone lasts at least twice as long, I don't know exactly how much mAh it puts out, but it does it's job without overheating, and it recharges every night (phone first, then case) without any fuss. TL;DR I am actually liking the "Smart" aspect of this case, 1 month in, it works well and seems reliable. I am hoping it will hold up it's track record, for its price I expect to be getting at least a solid year out of it. We'll see.

Perfect compliment to a data junkie
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I absolutely love this case. I use it daily and it holds the charge from the moment I wake up (3 am) to late night. Even at this point with heavy use, I usually still have some charge left. The only negative thing is that my last one broke on the corner but that was because I dropped it. Although still fully functional, I did buy another. Now I have one for when Im working and one for when I'm going out. Cause yes it looks that bad. I highly recommend this case to anyone who uses the Internet a lot especially those like me who watch constant videos online or those who rely on their phone for gps all day. Life saver.

Q: Questionwill it wireless charge iPhone 8 or do you always have to plug in to charge it and the phone?
Asked by Mikey.
- A:Answer It’s not wireless, but it’s a case the phone will stay in, and it will charge the phone throughout the day using its battery, while not plugged in. When plugged in, it charges up the phone and case’s battery so that you can unplug and have extended battery life. You will always have to plug in to charge.
