Question

ASLGeek · Accepted Answer

I actually have the Juice Pack Plus for my iPhone5 but any Mophie pack does well. The plus gives me about 200% additional battery time. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to the phone either. However, there is no screen protector built in on any of the Mophie cases. It's just 2 pieces that you slide into place on the phone. I purchased an ArmorSuit screen protector from Amazon which is the equivalent of Zagg which BBY sells. I don't drop my phone a lot but the newer Mophie cases are supposed to be durable enough to protect your phone, just like the Otterbox, from falls and things of that nature.

No screen protection for iPhone with mophie and I actually have a hairline crack in the bottom corner from a minor drop. My otterbox would have laughed at the mophie for its weak protection. Extra battery life is nice though on mophie

Otterbox is probably better protection. That said, I have dropped my phone twice (I hardly ever do that, but . . . .), on hard surfaces, with my Mophie case, and no problem. There is no protective cover, but just get a screen cover (clear plastic sheet that fits exactly on the face of the phone). You will DEF love the added battery. Why get all of the power of the iPhone and then not be able to use it for half the day because you are at 1% battery??

The mophie case provides a high level of protection to your phone, it does not come with a screen protector, but Zagg screen protectors are the best. Mophie cases also have a bit of a lip on the front of the phone that is an extra protective measurement. You can't go wrong with any of the mophie cases.

If you are a person that drops their phone more than once a day, I would go with the otterbox. It's going to give you lots of protection with many layers but is very bulky and thick. The mophie is going to give you decent protection and will protect your phone from many drops. I would go with the mophie because while it is protective, it charges your phone which is great.

No the mophie does not have protective screen like the OB. However, you can purchase one seperately. Or you can buy an Otterbox version of the mophie case that does the same thing....

No clear screen protector. Not really a case for protection either. If you need something to protect from fall get Otterbox. You can always charge using a portable battery that is $25...

The mophie is just an external battery for additional charge. The Otterbox is for protection from the elements. Two different products.
