Just purchased the iPhone 7 Apple Battery Case. Didn’t like the design but since I’m used to the plus and it’s awesome battery life I had to get something to put me close to that experience. I use my phone for work all day so having to charge it multiple times a day is not realistic. I can’t believe how bad the battery on the iPhone 7 is. Just got the phone on Saturday so maybe it’s still calibrating with the software.

I can’t believe the weight that the case adds to the phone. It’s pretty hefty with the case on. I almost feel like it’s the same size at the plus when it’s on.

I’m also wondering what the constant charge to the iPhone is going to do in terms of the battery. Will it affect the amount of charge the phone will hold over time of being constantly charged?

Still not sure if I’m going to keep the case and just wanted to get everyone’s thoughts on the case if you have it and what your experience has been so far.

Thanks!
 
I actually ended up going back to the Apple leather case. The smart battery case was too big and bulky, and weighed a ton. I also found that it was a dust, lint and other things magnet and the seal between the case and the phone wasn’t solid like the leather cases so when I took it off there was a whole bunch of stuff underneath which for one week was pretty unsettling. Guess I’ll have to get the travelcard charger or something to make up foe the battery case.
