Anyone know of anything similar to a Smart Battery Case for the 7 Plus or 8 Plus?

I have a 6S with the Smart Battery Case and I really like it. The battery life has been great with the extra battery and the way it is integrated with all of the iOS functions and lightning cable keeps it simple. I never have to fiddle with switches, remember to turn it on, or carry a different type of cable.

Does such a thing exist for the 7+/8+? Most of the ones I see are MicroUSB, the Lightning ones don't seem to support Lightning headphones. Thanks.
 
From personal experience, the closest one that I'd recommend would be the Battery Case from iphone lens maker, MomentCo. Now it's a battery case with a lens grove but it'll work without it. But be warned, it'll make the phone extremely heavy.

Morphie make one for the 7+, It requires a micro USB to charge but if you buy the wireless charging version “juice pack with air” you won’t have to fiddle with the micro USB connector. Just throw the phone on the charging pad and it will charge wirelessly. Other threads say users have said the 8 will work in a 7 smartcase. The 8 is 0.2mm larger and the camera/flash positioning is slightly different but in this case it still works and fits.
