Hi all does anyone use this type if case as a everyday case ? If so how well has it held up?
Thanks
 
I think the design of the case is such that it almost has to be an everyday case. You don't put it on to charge the phone.

Its a very tight fitting case and its a pain to get off. My wife leaves her's on all the time.

Get a Mophie power station if you don't want the case, that's what I use but then you have to carry a deck of card sized battery with you.
 
I use the uNu Power DX in the new blue color. It easy to take off and put on. The blue and black has a matte finish. The other colors are smooth are are extremely easy to take off. I think the uNu power DX is the best battery case for the money in my opinion.
 
I have used their battery cases since my 3GS, and yes, as an everyday case. The added weight and thickness, in my opinion, makes the phone feel less toy-like. I had really hoped that Lifeproof and Mophie would have worked together to have a waterproof battery case for the iPhone.
 
Could someone tell me the difference between the apple store version and the online through mophie? Any pics would be good to . Thanks for your help
 
Why am I reading some articles that the apple store one is some sort of a snap style instead of a slider type ?
 
YouTube it. I don't know how people live with those big battery cases though. I have one and only use it when I'm going to be away from a charger for a day. It's just so darn bulky
