mophie401002830 Juice Pack Access - Ultra-Slim Wireless Battery Case - Made for Apple iPhone Xs/iPhone X (2,000mAh) - Dark Red

this thing gets mixed reviews. but it is what it is. which is great. the included instructions are vague.but here is what it is: it's a passive battery case. it does three things: put the case on...1 placed on a wireless charger it charges the phone first then the case2 plug in the case it charges the phone first then the charger3 plug in the phone to charge it does nothinghere's where it gets interesting1 it doesn't charge the phone unless you tell it to by holding down the button on the back for three seconds then it will charge the phone until it can't. about 25% in my experience.2 you can use this as a back up emergency pack and never use it unless you have to. if you put it on a wireless charger it passes the charge to the phone first then the pack. but you HAVE to push the button on the back for three seconds for it to charge your phone.this works differently than you'd expect. but the built quality is great.i did get an error on my charging pad and hot charge once so since then i just plug in the case with a usb-C and it acts like a wireless charging pad to charge my phone and then charges itself once the phone id 100%.all in all, it's a pretty amazing thing for $11-13. bad reviews are from people who can't figure it out.

I’ve used these before and will buy again. Saves on charging and try to find some where to plug your phone in

I ignore the negative feedback and thought this was a reputable company. But, they were right, there is something wrong in the design of this battery case. It gets very hot and make my iphone hot. If I use my old battery case, nothing gets hot.I waited a little too long and now the return window is closed.

Helps extend your battery very giod

It was cheap. It cost about $9.50. However on an iPhone X running iOS 14+ the wireless battery pack only adds about 50% extra battery life to phone. Fit is not so great.The fit of this battery pack is less desirable. It does fit the phone nicely when sliding the phone into the bottom half and then sliding the top half onto the phone. However the problem I had is where the two halves meet is not right (see pictures.) The bottom half is a little wider and flared out causing a ridge when sliding you hand across it. This misshapen of what could only be the internal design of the battery pack to fit the phone might not be 100% accurate which is causing the to halves to be off. Even with the phone out of the picture and connecting the two halves together without a phone they still don’t line up correctly. It may not seem like a big deal but it should be better. The only upsides to the battery pack fitment is the ease of removal and installation and the fact the original lightning port is not blocked.During wireless charging the pack and phone together works okay. The pack and phone get hot and it takes a while to wirelessly charge both together. Using the usb-a to usb-c cable to charge the battery pack also charges the phone. I use this method overnight. The upside to charging is you can choose to use wireless charging, usb-c or Apple lightning to charge. A little more flexibility.When using the battery pack to charge the phone the phone gets hot and the iOS slows down and starts to lag. It’s best to start the charging and let it be to charge. It’ll add an extra 50% charge to phone and takes about 75 minutes. Not terrible but not great.The battery pack weighs about 100g and added to the iPhone X that brings your phone to about 275g or just shy of 10 ounces. It does feel a lot heavier and bigger with the battery pack on.

This case for the price is a can’t pass if you are looking for a wireless, Apple CarPlay and Wallet approved battery case. It’s not too thick, but does add some weight to the phone. It also can be charge wirelessly or through a wire (USB C), and will only wirelessly charge your iPhone X/XS.It’s a perfect fit for my iPhone XS, has a rubbery like feel on the outside, and protects the outside of my phone pretty well (the front has a slight raised edge but I’d recommend a glass or screen protector in case).For those reviews that complain that is missing parts, or a charging pad and adapter - it specifically mentions in the manual that is OPTIONAL AND NOT INCLUDED. Also note that this case CANNOT get wet, if so you basically will have a heavy paperweight attached to your phone.As far as charging strength and life, so far mine charges my phone at a steady rate (appears to be around 5watts vs the higher rate and iPhone XS can accept). Not using my phone while it charges can net me around 50%+ of battery replacement, whereas using your phone can vary from 20% to higher depending on whatever you are doing at the time.

I take no issue with the charge, and have recently purchased the blue model with the matte finish.If you buy the gold model with the gloss finish, listen closely. You WILL drop your phone on your partner’s sleeping face by accident and you WILL be devastated. It will FLY from your hand into their peaceful little face and bruise their eyeball. Your relationship doesn’t need this blunt trauma, I promise you. Get the blue one. It’s cheaper anyway.Also it’ll probably overheat your phone if you use video chat while it’s charging, so I wouldn’t do that.

Not too bulkyCharges great
