Okay, battery cases are awesome and I have nothing against them. So you know it was probably like a regular day at Apple and someone had the idea of making a battery case. Everyone was probably like, “WOW THATS A GREAT IDEA, LET’S MAKE AN OVERPRICED BATTERY CASE!” After that they were probably like, “Oh Crap, we don’t have anyone to design it. How will we ever design it? OH YEAH, LET’S JUST GO OUTSIDE AND PICK THE FIRST PERSON THAT WALKS BY TO DESIGN IT!”
That’s probably not what they did, I was just exaggerating. But seriously, this case looks horrible. I really don’t know what they were thinking when they put the battery in the middle of the case and just made it a hump. It looks like the case ate an iPod 4. The least thing they could do is make it so the back would be flush with the rest of the phone case. I don’t know what’s going on with Apple this year. First the iPad Pro that is on IOS instead of OS X. Second, They made it so you can charge the Apple pencil by sticking it out of the side of the iPad Pro. Third, They made it so you have to charge your Apple Magic Mouse 2 on the bottom. Fourth, Apple made the Apple Watch dock look like a freaking Smoke Detector. And now this. Good job Apple, that’s five things I can think off the top of my head that went wrong this year and I will have a video coming soon of five things Apple did right and five things Apple did wrong so subscribe it you don’t want to miss it. This case does not give you an option to set it on charge when you want it to. When you plug it into the case, it starts charging immediately and personally I don’t like that because I believe charging and unplugging and charging it again and unplugging it again will destroy your iPhone’s battery over time. The charging LED is in the case which is stupid because if you can’t see it then why even put it in there. They do make up for it by putting the charge indicator in the Notification Center which I guess is good. Would I buy it? NOOOOOOO, you can get a lot more for your money buy buying a Mophie battery case because they have been doing it for years now and they are the best at doing it. The battery itself can produce 25 extra hours of battery for your phone which is about one full charge. The design is so horrible and with a price tag coming in at $99 you do not need to buy this unless you are super duper deep into the Apple ecosystem.
