Hi everyone, I love the Apple battery cases, but I have had problems with the case for the iPhone 7. This is the case the Apple store sold me to be used with the iPhone 8, as they are the same size. My first case lasted nine months and then started to charge very sporadically. The cable would charge the phone by itself, but not the case whether the phone was in it or not. So I went through the replacement process as this was still under warranty. I got a replacement, same model of case. My replacement lasted 3 months and then started to have the same charging problems as the first case. I made arrangements to send it back and get a new one as it was still under warranty. But then I charged the case for about 16 hours and it worked, so I canceled the return. then it stopped charging, just like the first case. Again, the cable worked with the phone by itself, so the problem was not the charging cable. I then gave up as I was pretty sure I had passed the warranty time.
So, speaking for the iPhone 7 Apple battery case, I love it but I don’t trust its reliability. I hope the cases for other models do not have this problem. Right now, I am using a cheap battery case and it is currently working. Hope this is useful.

Yes, it does add considerable heft to the phone, and, because I often carry my phone in my pants pocket along with keys, a nail clipper and assorted change from time to time, the satiny rubber covering can get kinda thrashed, but the case works like a champ. If I drop the phone it will usually land on its back because of the way the battery’s situated, so the case offers some good protection. Even the beveled edge of the case which is about 1/16 inch above the phone’s front face will keep the front glass from taking a direct hit. When you use the case, the battery in the case is discharged first, then the phone’s battery is engaged. My first battery case was a Mophie Juice Pack which worked well but was considerably bulkier than the Apple case. I liked the Apple’s form factor better so I switched. Hope this helps.

I have an SE 2020 and the battery life is awful so I’m considering getting a battery case to boost my battery longevity during the day. Any thoughts appreciated.
