These days they will try to make money off ANYTHING..a case for battery,a case for case,a case for a watch..this is ridiculous..
 
Am I the only one who is really bothered by the fact that the Apple battery pack does not match up to the sides and bottom of the phone? The thing looks like a tumor.
 


Nomad has opened pre-orders for leather covers for Apple's MagSafe Battery Pack, allowing customers to protect not only their $99 battery pack but also an opportunity to customize its look with two different colors.

Apple's MagSafe Battery Pack was launched last week for $99 and is meant to provide iPhone 12 users an easy and convenient way to charge up their device on the go. Apple is only offering the battery pack in a white color, leaving accessory makers to make cases and covers that customize its look.

Nomad offers leather cases in both black and "Rustic Brown," and both colors retail for $35. The covers attach to the front of the battery pack using "microsuction tape" and "form fitting shape." Customers who pre-order the covers can save $5, and it begins shipping on November 20.

Lmao. A leather case for a battery?? Are you kidding me.
 
This is silly...BUT, if people are buying, there's obviously a market.

Not sure how and when Apple gear became 'precious'...I'm thinking maybe around iPhone 4 when it started to look like more like a fashion statement instead of just a piece of tech.

Sure, the iPods that came before it had cases as well, but not to that extreme extent.
 
I don’t think the main market is to protect the battery. It’s to disguise the white against a black phone or case. If Apple had offered the battery in different colour options, I doubt there would be a market for a battery cover.

This has to be among the dumbest product I have ever seen for anything Apple... Whoever thought of this (and those that agreed) need to be fired. 🤣
 
A cover for a battery, I can say I have seen almost everything...
Not just a cover, but a cover for a product with a short life span. I can't see people using these batteries longer than a 1, 2 at max. Then the batteries, along with the case will be thrown in the trash. Sure, Apple would recycle the battery, but honestly, do we really think people will spend the time to recycle when it is easy to throw everything in the trash can?
