Just like those car bikinis protect your entire car from 45 mph impacts, this battery case should protect the phone from any impact you may cause. Do they market this case as impact protection or for extra battery life?

It's a protection case with built-in battery. But many will break down within months (not even run out of warranty) or after a few drops, resulting the iPhone pops up an error message and of course cease its function as battery extension.

It's a $129 (without the discount) liability is what I'm saying. It protects the phone alright, but I don't want that expensive case to also break down within a short time. It's another thing to worry about instead of "insert and forget" that any phone case should be.

So like I said, because it's quite expensive and fragile, Apple might as well sell another protective case for the smart battery case LOL. More money and we get even more obese iPhone as a bonus.

Thanks but no thanks, mate. I'd stick to my Anker PowerCore. Even if it breaks, it's only $20 for 5x the capacity.

It’s a battery case not a protective case with a battery. Don’t be so careless with your device.
