Ever since installing IOS7 my mophie when switch on to charge just clicks on and off, on and off like it is connecting and then disconnecting over and over and over..... Anyone have any ideas on a solution or is there a known bug here? The cable charges it fine it's just when I am out in the field trying to use the case to charge....
Got a tip for us?

IOS7 bricked my Mophie case?

Ok bricked was the wrong word. It simply cycles charge no charge over and over every 2-3 seconds until the case runs out of battery power. I bought it from mophie.com so don't think it is a fake but emailed there support and am waiting for a response.
I don't know if it's related at all (I assume the Mophie plugs into the Lightning port internally to do it's thing), but the day I got the 5S I purchased a lighted Lightning cable from Best Buy made by Rocketfish that exhibits that same behavior when plugged into my car...like you're plugging and unplugging over and over even though you're not. And when plugged into my Mac Mini via the same cable it works fine until I get a text message or other notification and does that same behavior about 6 times and then goes back to normal. Makes me wonder if something to do with charging changed. Rocketfish says their cable is tested to work on the 5S, but that's the 2nd of that type of lighted cable from them I tried that does the same thing.
Sounds more like a short.... I have a mophie also for the 5 on ios 7.0.2 and it works fine. Maybe it's your phone?? Check to see if your lighting port still works....
iOS7 wont have an effect on the juice packs. Visit us over at www.mophie.com/TS and we'll work on a replacement.
