As I understand it, the form of the new SE is the same as 6s this battery case was designed for. So can it be used together?
Anyone has tried this combo?

Try the iPhone 7 or 8. The camera and speaker cutouts are different from 6/6s to 7/8/SE2.

I don't think cases from a 6s will fit a SE, I think only the 7/8 cases will fit a SE. I remember my 6 cases not fitting my 8 because of the camera location. Even with a 7 Smart case you will lose QI charging.
 
I use the 7 smart battery case with my SE2. You lose wireless charging, but the huge bump in battery life is well worth it.

Just a warning, the material it’s made of isn’t great and it will start to peel after a few months.

Yep. Mine already peeled. 😟
 
I got a classic wallet case. It does make the iPhone bulkier, although having a single wallet that holds phone and credit cards is awesome
 
I have the iPhone 7 battery case and it is still working well and looking new. It makes a big difference. I am a very light phone user. However, I have noticed that my phone battery drain has been quicker lately, and I haven’t done anything different. I was getting much better battery life on iOS 13. I could easily make it 1 - 1. 25 days before needing got charge. With iOS 14, a lot of times I am already at 20 - 30% by the end of the day. It’s not a big deal but, I have started using my battery case more just to be on the safe side.
