    I purchased the case back in February few weeks ago a crack appeared on the top left corner and it keep getting bigger. Unfortunately every time you want to take the phone out or put it back in you have to bend the corner.
    Thank you for your feedback
    Sorry, there was an error

    I got this on sale so keep that in mind for "value for money".

    Fits phone perfectly. Case really upgrades phone's usability all day. On easy days, I don't even get to the phone battery. On heavy days, I get the phone down to 30%; no more needing a charger with me.

    Silicone is a double edged sword for case material... makes phone very easy to handle safely but also attracts every crumb and piece of fuzz. It's not hard to get out of my pockets though; that's a pretty good balance in grip.

    I've not noticed weight difference.
    I have not tried to stick anything to the back yet but I imagine sticky things may struggle with the matte finish and flexibility of silicone. Leaning it up against things works pretty well for facetime, etc.
    Buttons are almost easier to use than phone without case due to grip of silicone.

    I recently purchased an Iphone XR after being a long time Android user. I've always had a phone with a removable battery, and I've always used aftermarket extended capacity batteries for my devices as they get considerable use. In researching my options for a case that would add capacity to the Iphone's sealed design, I settled on this one.

    I received my new smart battery case on Tuesday, installed it Tuesday after work and charged it up. Disconnected from the charger, and it's been running on the case since. The case's battery just depleted this morning so I figure in the ball park of 30 hours or so, and now I'm working off the phones' battery which is still at 100%. I'm going to allow the phone to deplete completely now, and get a nice full charge cycle on both the phone and case.

    The case being an Apple product, is very well made. I found the phone to be very slippery all on its' own, IMHO. This case adds a silky matte texture and complements the phone very well. The inside is a very soft velvety material which will protect the phone, and the outside doesn't smudge too badly (unless you have very oily skin) and cleans up very nicely. I'm a big guy, with big hands and I do not find this case to be bulky at all. It adds a very comfortable feel and weight to the handset.

    This case offers true lightening cable connectivity so it is compatible with any Lightening accessory you would normally attach directly to the phone. Headphones, adapters, etc. Most of the other battery case offerings either supported QI charging, OR being able to have audio pass through via the lightening connector, but NOT BOTH. This was a very frustrating point for me. This was also a big part of what lead me to swallow the price tag a little easier, because it covered all bases.

    Also - you can enable a widget on your phone that will show both the battery charge level, and the case level separately. I like this feature. The phone will also display this information briefly on the main screen when connecting the charger and again when removing it. I do not have my QI charger yet, but this also supports the QI charging standard and look forward to that flexibility as well.

    This case is pricey, but so far is exceeding my expectations. It is also a genuine Apple product, so no questions regarding warranty issues if there were to be a problem that would potentially affect the phone. (vs using a 3rd party item)

    I love the Apple smart battery case. It is nice to NEVER run out of battery during my busy day. I used Mophie’s in the past and was happy initially. The last one had a smooth finish and tended to be slippery and was easily dropped or slipped off of surfaces which was a bother. The Apple case has a matt finish which is easy to hold and does not slip off of surfaces easily.

    First, it has a lightning port on the bottom. Other brands have mini usb and the port fails before anything else goes wrong. Others I have used the switch goes and renders it useless. This is a switchless “smart” case. It tracks your usage and “learns” when it needs to turn on to recharge your phone. A display will pop up and tell you how much you have on your phone and the battery pac. I get longer use time than I did with other cases. Worth the extra money if you are a power user. I don’t see how people can use an iPhone with out a case. Too slippery and vulnerable. This provides protection from casual drops and improves gripability as others do as well

    The Apple Battery Case here its an amazing product in my opinion... I personally like the silicon on this case and with the integration To IOS, and the efficiency behind the case, it’s a perfectly great ideal to buy one .. I would say despite the price it’s worth it.. and it’s very durable it will protect your iPhone pretty well.

    The battery is (1369) batteries (but it is 2-batteries of that size) in the case and it’s output is even more effective so your getting an efficient size battery with and IPhone that has an exceptional battery life in itself... This is a Winner for anyone who Purchases this Case.. I Strongly Recommend this Apple Battery Case.

    Never had a battery case peel like this. I have had several of their cases before but never again. Apple refused to replace. Wasn’t as bad when I first brought to their attention but continues to get worse. Started to peel just before coronavirus started and I couldn’t get in due to work, corona hit and the 1 year warranty passed, they refused! Customer service has zero flexibility given the circumstances and could care less. Go with another brand, save your money!

    This case feels SO silky to hold, sometimes I just flip it in my hand to relax. The battery life? I can get about 36 hours of heavy usage. Initially you’ll think it’s way heavy, it is. That said, after a week or so, because it’s so cool hold, you won’t even care. So, why the 1 star? Because, there is a technical bulletin for this battery. Some defective cases were produced on certain dates, that basically don’t (generally) work. I know. I had to exchange my case 4 (FOUR) times, during the pandemic (Apple was considered essential service) until I got one that worked. I know my xr is old,
    and now I like it so much more. I don’t regret this purchase at all, EVEN it being a major hassle.
