About this item
The Smart Battery Case for iPhone 7 gives you extra battery life with the look and protection of an Apple-designed case.
Combined with the Smart Battery Case, iPhone 7 provides up to 22 hours of battery life for browsing the web, up to 24 hours of watching HD video, and 26 hours of talk time.
The Smart Battery Case also works intelligently with your iPhone to charge simultaneously when you’re plugged in, so both case and iPhone will have more than enough battery life to get you through the day, and then some.
The soft elastomer hinge and one-piece design make it easy to put the case on and take it off. You can even connect it to any Lightning accessory, such as the Lightning Dock.

The battery case has been working perfectly until a couple of months ago that presented some issues. I am very happy with it and I am still using it, it still works (Talking about battery charge). I have about a year with this item.This battery has it pros and its cons:Pros:Battery durability is amazing! You do not need to care about battery when making videos or using GPS navigation or any other app.If you do not have in any moment the original charger, you don't have problems when charging it (Referring to the charging issue on iPhones).The interior of the case is excellent, it does not affect in any way the iPhone.It is easy to put and remove.Cons:Material should be more resistant. My case is all broken. The plastic that protects the battery case has been continuously felling off. Also part of the case, specifically where the up / down volume buttons are, is completely broken (there is anything covering that part at this moment).I think the case is very expensive for the quality of the materials.
Love this thing. The case battery and internal iPhone battery keeps me going all day. Understand there are several reviews complaining about the "rubbery stickiness" of the case. So there is a trade-off. A mophie is smooth and slippery, whereas the iPhone case is rubbery and does not slip in and out of your shirt pocket very easily; I've adapted - I open my pocket wider and it drops in versus slipping in.
My experience, rubbery stickiness is a good thing!!! The reason I purchased this case is because I had a mophie on my iPhone 6 and I bumped into a door jam. The phone slipped right out of my hand and fell face-down on a tile floor and the glass shattered; so much for the mophie protective case. I replaced the iPhone 6 with a 7 and bought this case.
Why I like it v mophie: 1. It doesn't slip out of your hand 2. The rubber side walls wrap around the glass and come up about 1mm higher than the mophie. In a fall I would expect better protection. 3. The battery level of the battery case is displayable on the iPhone 4. It has a lightning connector. I hate the one-side micro-USB connector as it's hard to tell on a lot of devices which side is wider; so I am constantly flipping the cable over and over trying to find a fit...
But consider that the complaint about the rubbery stickiness is a valid tradeoff. Yes it doesn't slide very easily into a shirt pocket; you just have to get used to opening your pocket a bit wider.
But beyond that, you can't go wrong with this case.
For my iphone 8 I had a really great battery charging case but took a lightning cord that was not Apple but the case was ridiculously difficult to remove. I got a new car with Apple Carplay and you need the right lightning cord for it to be used and had to choose...so I found this case, which I really like! I like the feel and it's easy to hold onto. I like that it the battery case is synonymous with the phone battery. There's no buttons or switches to start charging, it actually utilizes the case battery first and then starts on the phone battery; but it lasts forever. I travel a lot for work and spend a lot of time on my phone, so been pretty happy with the ease of use, long usage and simplification of a one cord world.
A completely integrated battery from Apple! It works with the phone and OS. Have bought other batteries that worked but damaged the phone’s battery by constantly charging. The battery case from Apple is seen and managed by the phone and it lasts big time! Batteries can be cheap but phones are not. This gives the power heavy users need without damaging their phone! Highly recommend. Only reservation was first case started to fall apart but after two years of faithful service, still carry it for emergencies. I an now on my third iteration helping to maintain the phone and precluding purchase of a new replacement phone
This is a great product that comes in handy daily. It's very easy to manage and seems to be very durable. The only drawback is that it charges your phone immediately once you put your phone in it. This is problematic because if you start using it earlier in the day (even if your phone is already on 100%) it will still charge it and run out of battery by the end of the day unless you charge it sometime during the day. For someone who uses their phone pretty frequently, this can still lead to your phone dying because the battery will be drained after a few hours usage and then your phone will start to lose battery normally vs. you letting your phone battery go down and then using the battery pack to charge it back up. I think maybe a button or even a sensor that knows when your phone is below 20% would be helpful because it doesn't make sense to charge a phone at 100%, which could lower the phone's battery life as well. Otherwise, the case is great, feels great, and protects the phone from drops due to the rubbery outer exterior. I would still invest in a glass screen protector though.
I just ordered and received my second Apple Battery Case for my iPhone 8. My first one actually did very well for almost two years but admittedly the outside layer started peeling off and the upper left side of the case tore around the volume buttons and the top left corner. The battery did very well for me but with the tear that just developed, I ordered a replacement due to the appearance. Overall I’ve been pleased with the case enough to order a second one. The look and feel are great but I do wish the case would last longer as I take good care of the case. The fact the case battery life displays on the iPhone along with the case and phone charging from the one lightning cable is a big plus. Maybe two years is the most someone should expect from a battery case but Apple should find more durable material for their cases.
I just got the case a few minutes ago and I keep reading that it's says it bran new but comes used. Well if mine is not bran new. I can't tell. And the case came with only 12% battery life. But that's to be expected. Just like when you buy a new phone the battery is never 100% when you turn on the phone for the first time. Will update you all after I have had the case for a week or so. But also to note it adds some weight to your phone.
Update So I have had this case for a little bit and I have to say if you have an iPhone and apple makes a smart battery case for it. Go out and buy it right now. You need this. 2 days ago I took my phone off the charger at 7:15am and two days later at 4:04pm my case was dead and my phone finnaly needed to be charged. If that's not saying something. Then I don't know what is. Now you can charge the case and phone separate or together. But if you charge the phone in case together mean the case is on the phone. It will charge the phone first then the case. Over all I am happy and glad I got this for my phone. Only thing I don't like is the case gets so dusty in your pocket. Other then that. I give it a 5 out of 5. If apple makes one for your iPhone. Go buy it now.
I spend my days in the office and sometimes things get hectic. This case feels like it's well made and I basically don't have to charge my phone other than plugging it in when I go to bed. I feel like my review would be different given the cost if it didn't work as well as it does but so far no complaints.
