Then light it up because the Mophie case for the XS/Max/XR is $120
It’s similar to what they had for previous iPhones. Actually it looks a little better. Also, it is “smart” in that the phone draws from the case first. That means that, unlike with other battery cases, it doesn’t use up a battery cycle on the phone if it is connected to the case.
You don't need it lol. Then again there's a HUGE market for portable batteries and cases for people that do
Again, who said Mophie wasn't retardely prices too?
Reputable companies like Zerolemon do bigger batteries in cases for $50 and under.
All Chinese stuff at the end of the day; its how much suckers pay for the markup.
Awesome, ordered mine.
Most battery cases are just not reliable. Work for a few months then dead. I’ve had poor luck with mophie but their support is admirably good. Excited to get this for my max.

Compared to the price of this products main competition (Mophie), this is priced appropriately
Either something is wrong with your phone or you must use it non-stop throughout the day.
You must be one of those "power" users ... I use mheavily and
You should see the Note8/9 with a battery case or anything from ZeroLemon
Sweet, ordered for $161+tax in Canada with EPP discount. I had the battery case for the iPhone 7 since launch and it worked so well. Useful for travelling.
That's what's great about the market: you have options! Go buy a retardedly large ZeroLemon battery case without wireless charging for $60 then lol
Ordered the XS version for my X. If anyone is apprehensive about doing this, I'll report back on Friday to let you know how it works. Should work just fine if you can live with the camera gap.
the leaks showed a different design (that was way nicer) but good that they finally came and are compatible with wireless charging
As usual, many haters here don‘t even know how the Smart Battery Case is different from other battery cases. They just see the hump and the price and start spewing. Please, folks, educate yourselves. Here is an in-deep review of the previous version https://www.imore.com/smart-battery-case
You are basically paying for design here.
The battery case has a few minor improvements over other alternatives, such as the battery hump not blocking the antennas, the case automatically charging the iPhone without you needing to flip a switch, and showing up in the battery widget.
Sure, there will always be cheaper alternatives available, but if you want an integrated solution, and don’t mind paying a little more, the Apple Case is always there as an option.
