mophie Juice Pack - Wireless Charging Protective Power Pack Case, Charge Force Technology, Compatible With Qi-Enabled & Other Wireless Charging Systems, For iPhone 7 & 8 and iPhone SE

I had been kicking around the idea of ordering one of the new Mophie Juice Pack Air cases for my regular size iPhone 7 but wasn't sure I wanted to haul around the extra weight/bulk. The only thing I really miss from my Android phone is wireless charging. After some discussion with a friend and Mophie fan, I decided to give it a whirl. Only a couple days in, but here are my impressions. Size I have been carrying my iPhone 7 in a Spigen Neo Hybrid case for the most part, which is super slim and trim. The Mophie is quite bulky in comparison. The battery adds a chunk of weight as well. The width of the case across the screen isn't particularly big, and the upper bezel is slim as well. The bottom part of the case is longer to house the lightning connector and since it's closed off there are ports to route the lower mic/speaker sound out the front. This actually seems to work quite well and my phone seems "louder" as a result. The case has nicely rounded back edges, but that makes it very comfortable in hand. It also makes it difficult to measure the thickness! I figure it's around 16mm thick at the thickest part. In comparison, an Otterbox on an iPhone 7 is 15mm, with no battery or wireless charging. Normally that would be way too thick for me personally, but given the features it's not a bad tradeoff. Overall length-wise, the Mophie seems long due to the space at the bottom for sound channel routing and internal connector, but it's basically the same length as the Otterbox case. The edges of the case on the sides are slightly higher than the screen, but flare up at the ends of the case to offer screen "standoff" when the case is placed face-down. I measure 1.25mm of standoff at the ends of the case, so plenty of room for a glass screen protector and still maintaining a small amount of standoff. Some numbers, for those who enjoy such things: 150.1 mm - Length 70.4 mm - Width 15.8 mm - Thickness (at the middle) 241.6 g - Weight (with phone installed) 97.2 g - Weight (case only) 144.4 g - Weight (my iPhone 7) Handling The phone feels quite good in hand with the Mophie. The case itself has a soft-touch feel. It does seem to pick up fingerprints easily and there isn't any grip texturing, so while I haven't juggled it yet, I would call it "medium" for grip in the hand. The thickness and radius of the rear edges makes it very comfortable to hold. The buttons have excellent tactile feel. I have no issues reaching the mute switch on the side, it's got a nice cutout. As noted above, the case does add notable weight to the phone. Carrying it in a coat chest pocket, I notice the weight difference. Connectivity The case has no external lightning connector, only a micro USB for wired charging. For some, this is a deal-breaker. For me, it's a non-issue so far. I rarely plug my phone into my Mac to sync, I just let it sync wirelessly and that works fine. I didn't often use the lightning-to-headphone adapter, I use bluetooth. The wireless charging functionality is excellent. I did not spend the $ for Mophie-branded charging pads, I simply use cheapo Qi charging bases and they both work perfectly, so long as they are powered by good power supplies. I have a flat $9 charging pad at home on the nightstand and a $20 upright "stand" charging base on my desk at work. I've also tested the wireless charging ability on a number of vehicles that offer built in Qi-compatible charging pads and they have all worked nicely as well. As I said, wireless charging is something I really miss from my modern Android phones and it's super slick to have that ability. The system is set such that it charges the phone's internal battery first, and then charges the case. Overall I think the Mophie with wireless is a very nice piece of kit. I can typically get through a workday and evening at home (non-travel) on the built-in battery. If I am on my phone a bunch for work, or have significant WebEx or other on-phone work, I typically plug into a charger when in the car and that gets me to the end of the day, sometimes just barely. The Mophie for iPhone 7 has a 2525 mAh battery, in addition to the built-in iPhone 7 battery of 1960 mAh. That's a full additional charge, plus a bit. I haven't run both into the ground just yet, but may do so this weekend. Conclusion Honestly, I'm in a bit of a quandary with this case. It does everything it's supposed to, and does it well. And I absolutely understand the thickness/weight, it's a matter of physics when you include an additional battery that more than doubles the capacity of the phone itself. I think for work or personal travel or time away on vacation, I'd run this case without hesitation as I tend to burn far more battery power in those situations than I do on a typical work day. My conclusion for the moment is that I'll probably keep the case and put my phone in it for vacation or travel use. But I'm not sure I am willing to lose the super-svelte profile of my iPhone 7 for typical every day use. The wireless charging convenience IMHO may be enough to cause me to keep this case on the phone full-time, but it's a little bit strange: with wireless charging, my phone is often times sitting on a charging pad - which usually alleviates my need for the extra capacity. It's a serious case of "first world problems." I would not hesitate to recommend this case based on my short experience so far, and caution only those who are really hung up about the size (specifically the thickness) of their phone that they may not dig it. For those who don't care so much about the size or additional weight, the combination of super battery capacity and wireless charging convenience are a no-brainer and well worth the price of admission. I purchased this case with my own $, it was not a "review unit."

I made the choice to buy the used one at a lesser price because it stated that there were some scratches on the case but in working condition. When the packaged arrived, I was excited because I had saved my money for a new Morphie case for my iPhone 7 as I had not been able to afford it when I upgraded from the 6S to the 7 and the buttons didn't line up completely. When I saw the sticker stating that it had been tested by Amazon, I was confident it would work. Now prior to it arriving, I read through the information to make sure that I could also charge and do file transfers through a micro usb cord so that I wouldn't have to spend the extra money at this time for a wireless charging pad. So when I put my phone into the Morphie case and pushed the button to turn it on, it had the two lights showing that it wasn't fully charged. I plugged the micro usb port into the case and walked away. Hours later I realized that not only was the case not charging, but it had actually completely drained what little charge it had. I tried every micro usb cord I had along with all the different charger bottoms to see if that was faulty. It was then that I attempted to plug the cord into my laptop to see if I could transfer files using the cord and the computer didn't even show that it had anything plug in. I put my phone in my cheap case that has been acting up, and tried connecting it through a lightning cord and the computer recognized my phone was attached. I knew then the micro usb port was faulty, as the cord worked on other items that require a micro usb, When I contacted Amazon customer service they said it had been tested by using a wireless charging pad, and the usb port had not been tested. I had to push for a refund just so I could order a replacement, pay extra out of my bank account to get the replacement, and ship this faulty one back, This is the first time I have purchased something electronic from Amazon that was used, to my knowledge, and had this experience. However the replacement one is working perfectly at this moment. I recommend the Morphie case, but don't recommend buying the USED one even if it is in Good/Great condition.

The mophie Juice Pack – Wireless Charging case works well and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. The wireless charging is convenient, the build quality feels solid, and it adds a nice boost of battery life when I’m on the go. That said, it’s definitely overpriced for what you get. There are similar products at much lower cost that offer comparable performance. If you don’t mind paying a premium, it’s a good accessory — but the price could be more reasonable. Overall, good product, just not the best value.

La verdad es un excelente accesorio. Yo no puedo vivir sin el. Hola pila me llega a durar hasta 2 días para que se gaste la batería del juice pack y la del teléfono. Solo hay que saber utilizarlo. A continuación lo explico porque mucha gente hace mal uso del accesorio y solo le carga hasta un 70 por ciento de pila o menos. El truco aquí es el siguiente: cargas la pila de tu teléfono junto con el de la batería funda. Y una vez cargados los 2 al 100 le dejas que se consuma la batería del juice pack en vez de apagarlo y consumir la batería del teléfono para después cuando tengas 20 por ciento encender el juice pack para que recargue el teléfono. Poriqe de esta manera el teléfono consume muy poca batería para poder mantenerlo al 100 por ciento. Entonces la batería externa te va a durar por lo menos 8 horas antes de que empieces a usar tu batería. Y digo por lo menos porque a mi me ha durado nueva hasta casi 24 horas y nunca uso la batería de mi celular. Ósea termino el día con 100 por ciento de pila. Ese es el truco de este accesorio. Repito yo lo súper recomiendo poriqe nunca te va a a quedar sin batería. Hagan la prueba de usarlo como les digo y verán que muchos habían estado usando mal la pila externa y por ende no les rinde igual. Les mando saludos.

Excellent Product, keeps the battery of my phone charged all day. My phones battery is always still at 100 by the end of the day even with working on my phone and taking calls all day long. Slim enough to fit into a hip holster, really enjoy the wireless charging feature, which my phone would not have otherwise.

Si eres un gran consumidor de batería de tu iPhone, si te cuesta llegar a final del día con la batería y no quieres ir pendiente de un enchufe o de llevar una batería externa con el cable correspondiente, la funda Mophie Juice Pack es la solución ("económica"). Y digo económica, porque la otra es poner la funda con batería de Apple, pero estéticamente la joroba que tiene me parece un poco fea, por lo que prefiero esta funda. Sí que es verdad que las dimensiones de tu iPhone aumentan considerablemente, y que estando acostumbrado al peso, al ponerle la funda, pesa como el doble, pero tienes una batería de 2500mAh adicional, y te aseguras una autonomía para todo el día. Además, permite la carga inalámbrica (aunque todavía no lo he probado). Lo que menos me gusta, es que el cable de carga es microUSB, aunque tampoco es mucho problema. Por cierto, que cuando pones a cargar la funda, se carga también el móvil. La funda está hecha de plástico, se ve muy bueno, de calidad. Es antideslizante, y el tacto es agradable. Se desmonta la parte superior y el teléfono se inserta (va duro, aunque no queda marca si se empuja con firmeza). Una vez el teléfono está dentro de la funda (en la parte inferior hay un conector lightning) se coloca la parte superior de la funda y queda muy bien encajado, y no se mueve nada. El acceso a los botones es bueno (volumen y mute). Sin problemas. Por defecto, el teléfono usa su batería. En la parte trasera hay un botón (prácticamente imperceptible) que si se pulsa durante 2 segundos, la batería se enciende y empieza a cargar el teléfono. La carga completa tarda unas horas, pero como lo he estado usando, no lo he medido. En definitiva, un dispositivo muy recomendable para esos días que estás fuera (de viaje, aeropuerto...) y que sabes que no vas a poder cargar fácilmente tu iPhone: aunque añade un tamaño considerable al iPhone, vale la pena.

Zu dem Zeitpunkt als ich diese Hülle gekauft habe, stand in keiner Beschreibung dass die Hülle keinen Lightning Anschluss besitzt... Es mag banal klingen, aber ich muss sagen, ich habe mir diese Hülle bestellt da mein Akku nicht für einen ganzen Tag reicht. Aus dieser Problematik heraus habe ich an diversen Orten Lightning Kabel liegen (Arbeitsplatz, Auto, Zuhause,…) und es ist sehr nervig, das gerät jedes mal aus dem Case nehmen zumüssen (vorallem bei dem Preis!!!)...

Rien à dire ... tout fonctionne parfaitement.
