The storage on this is excellent, but because the charging isn’t software driving like the first party battery, my phone would heat up much hotter than the first party battery. Definitely recommended if you’re going to start the charge and put the phone down.

Love! It moves a little bit when its on my apple case but never falls off! It hits up a phone (14 pro max) but my phone also hits up when charging so.

Love that you can charge your phone and still have a great grip on it while walking around or using it as a stand while watching videos while still charging.

This is an ok option when you need a quick charge on the go but it has a tendency to overheat. You will also only get one good charge out of this device and it will take a little longer to charge.

I got these for when we are at concerts. They work so well; I love that you can turn them off so they can hold their charge until it's needed!

I'm sure this works well with IPhones. Bought for Android. Was told it should work with Android. The charging still works on androids but it doesn't magnetize well.

Absolute worst charger. I purchased this to use as a MagSafe charger, as I lost my Apple MagSafe charger on a prior vacation. I should have checked this before going on vacation, and now we are past the return period, but the first time I went to use this I placed it on the back of my MagSafe case, and after 7 minutes or so I got the “Charging on hold, will resume when iPhone returns to a normal temperature” error message. I was sitting in an air conditioned airplane terminal, so it wasn’t like my phone was hot beforehand. After 20 minutes it still wouldn’t charge via MagSafe. You can still charge a phone with a USB-C cable, but that defeats the purpose of even owning this. Lastly, the magnet wasn’t very strong, so even if it would have charged my phone you had to be careful, as your phone is only one light touch from sliding off the charger.

Battery works great but don’t expect to use the pop socket. Slides off the phone very easily.

Love the charging, but the magnets are so weak that it can barely hold on. Using the pop socket feels like you’re risking your phone every time

Ok in the beginning but now no matter what I do it gets too hot to handle while it is connected to any phones that I try it on. Really disappointing for the price.
