Anyone getting the newly announced XS/MAX/XR Battery Case?

Put it on a Qi charging pad?
Exactly the same as the phone without a case?
Full brightness ALL THE TIME HERE I COME!!
On second thoughts maybe not. I don't like the idea of a battery case that can't be turned off.
Yeah, the XS one will work fine
[doublepost=1547594819][/doublepost]Would like to know how they have managed to justify bumping the price up £30/$30
[doublepost=1547594902][/doublepost]I’d love them to release a black leather version, mind. Silicone is just too grippy to be pulling out my pocket all day.
I couldn't remember if the X had a bigger camera than the Xs or the other way around
Is there no way to turn the case off? If so, doesn't that mean the case battery will constantly discharge and increase the wear on it?
Originally it said arrives on 1/22 when I ordered today. Now it arrives on 1/18! I ordered the black XS Max Case today
Did it say on UPS or Apple's site? Mine is currently saying 1/22 but I my tracking number isn't showing anything yet.
While it may increase the battery wear on the battery case, but you may not be putting much wear on your actual device. Imagine that you are using the battery on the battery case first while your phone remains full charged until the batter on the battery case dies, then you'll start using the battery on your phone.
I will plan getting one but just not at the moment.
You’d rather increase the wear on your iPhone’s battery?

If you want it off, take the case off. Once the iPhone battery is charged it would simply keep the iPhone fully charged until the case battery is empty (the point of the case to keep your phone battery charged. The magic of this case is when you wirelessly charge it charges both the case and the phone at the same time, vs all others like mophie that charge the case first and then charges phone. Pretty impressive.
