Guys,

Love the new phone. Need more juice.

There is a paucity of reviews on some of the battery cases — sure, the Apple one is a known quantity, but all the others. Do folks have experience with any of them? Would love to hear positives and negatives.

Thanks

Initially I was thinking I might need a battery case, but have been really impressed with how long the battery is lasting on my iPhone X

I bought this one and it works great. It doesn’t provide hardly any protection but charges my phone from about 5% to 100% in a reasonable amount of time while continuing to use the phone. I am a heavy user and with this case I can make it all no with no worries. Another plus is it uses lightning cable to charge phone and case at the same time. Let me know if y’all have any more questions about it.
 
Im personally going to with the Zerolemon battery case from amazon. They always make good quality battery cases
 
Can third party battery cases damage the phone if they are not Mfi certified. Mophie’s and such won’t allow for wired headphones. I see a bunch on amazon but I don’t someone said those can damage the phones battery. They all seem like they are the same Chinese knock off. The only one that looked legit is the audio mate from encased.
