Apple - iPhone XR Smart Battery Case - Black

Phone stay charged all day glad I picked this case up

The case works for what it is intended for. Keeping your phone charged. I have had it for a while but a year or so after I purchased it the rubber covering began to peal off. I don’t use it in any abusive manner and haven’t exposed it to any chemicals. I’m not sure why this would happen?

Christmas gift for my son. It has only been used a week, he is quite happy with charger right now:)

This case is great when it comes to keeping my phone charged but after almost 7 months the silicone is peeling off and the color is fading in some areas.

If your looking to extended your iPhone XR usage to nearly all day option look no further then to Apple for a first party solution. Apple's Smart Battery Case gives you even longer battery life while offering great protection. And when fully charged, the Smart Battery Case nearly all day battery life depending on your usage as a user. For me this is case is a must since I commute from home to work and use my iPhone XR daily. I take it off the charge in the morning and go about my day by around 7pm-8pm battery case is done and my iPhone will still have a full charge. So I can still keep going. Now you can see your Battery Cases status on the lock screen, Today view, and Widget in iOS 14. Sometimes the iPhone won't show the battery case on the lock screen but you need not worry since the widgets will display the status. Pulling the phone in the case is easy however taking it out takes a little force to remove it. Since I like to switch cases and charge the Battery case faster with out the iPhone in it. Charging the case can be done with either wireless charging or cable charging. If you decided to keep in your iPhone in the case it will charge your phone first then case no matter what way you do it. so for fast out put best you case them apart. Texture of the case feels like that premium Apple Silicone that we all like so it will feel great in the hand and offer a good grip while having good weight. Overall if your a power user and want to extend your iPhone's battery can go wrong with this. Even if the price is a little steep it's the best solution that will work with your device.

I’ve been looking around quite a while for a battery case for my XR. Yes I could’ve gotten one from amazon for much cheaper and one that actually has an on/off button to be in control of when I would want the case to charge it. Plus the case at times aren’t what they advertise, such as not lasting or being the mah that was described. But that is what makes this case “smart” and “unique”. It charges ur phone as soon as it is put in but manages the phone battery intelligently as to not damage or overcharge that could hurt your phone’s battery longevity in the long run. With the smart battery and phone both at 100% I’ve been able to get close to 3 days or 2 1/2 with medium usage. Then I wanted to really test it by heavy usage, and I mean heavy, and that still got me a good 2 days until I had to recharge them both. As a college student who is constantly busy and working, I don’t have a whole lot of time to sit down and recharge when I want to. So this case has come in handy for sure. If you can get past the price tag which is pretty steep, I think it is worth it for anyone who likes the extra juice or for someone who is busy constantly, or even for someone who likes to be on their phone constantly watching videos or playing games. Definitely recommend.

There's a lot of misinformation about this device. Does it help or hurt your phone's battery? Does it provide enough power, etc, etc... After using this little guy for a few months I am very rarely on the iPhone's battery The few times I am is due to this device failing to properly charge the iPhone's battery. It's weird, sometimes every once in a while the phone will 'forget' it's plugged into a smart case causing it to draining the primary battery while smart case is unaffected. However quickly disconnecting and reconnecting the phone will restore the lightning connection. That's really the only issue I've had with it. Some people don't like the shape of the case. The battery is basically a hump on the back of the case. You either accept this and after a few days and it doesn't bother you, or you go insane and it eats at the very essence of your soul until you return or sell the case. Po-tay-to po-tah-to. The case does a nice job of both feeling comfortable and not being slippery. I can put this phone down on most surfaces and I know it is not going anywhere. This is pretty much the exact opposite of the iPhone itself which is constantly trying to find a way to slip out of my hands and fall to it's doom. The charge on the case battery is strong enough to get me through a day without much hassle. I don't use my phone constantly so I generally don't burn through the whole case's charge before recharging. This means I am rarely using my iPhone's battery. I am still at 99% capacity for a phone I've had since launch. That's not bad. If you jailbreak your Xr you should look into some of the smart battery hacks that will give you a charge amount that includes the smart case battery as a single charge number. That's handy. If your phone starts to gets hot, you should take the case off and reboot. This case can cook your phone if left in this condition. If you are like me and don't always have your phone on your person, then you should be extra aware of this.

The iPhone XR already has some pretty incredible battery life on it. Add this to the mix and you can easily make it two days on a full charge of both the phone and the case (depending on how much usage of course). I love that the case charges by Qi and suppose fast charging wired and wireless. Silicone case is very gripping and feels very premium. Price is high but it is amazing and has integration with iOS being that it is made by Apple themselves. Highly recommend!
