I bought this case and I’m loving it. At first I thought I bought a case that didn’t work because the battery percentage was not working in the widgets but after the iOS latest update that fixed it. This is highly recommended for Uber and Lyft drivers.....
I just bought one simply because I’m in construction and have no access to charger throughout the day and I travel often for work so this is perfect. It’s a good deal of security for me since a phone is always a must when I’m in the field.
But if that's the case (no pun intended), why do you need this case? This means that you don't eat through the entire battery case, and battery case's capacity is *less* than the iPhones. In other words, you'd probably have a fair amount of battery left even if you just used the iPhone alone. Why put up with the extra bulk for no reason?
Personally I think the battery case feels better intthe hand. Like the hump fits into your hand and provides a better grip. I have the black one on my XS Max and so far am loving it.
Kim Thai: Beached Westminster Whale , Yes It is, but on white one. It Shows less. Black one shows oils when u touch, and fingerprints. White one shows dust but not shows anything else
Picking mine up tomorrow. I don’t think it’s priced to high for the integration you get and not having to worry about overheating the battery within the phone . Good Job Apple
I got one and I really like it because, even though I may not NEED a battery case, it makes me happy knowing that I don’t have to worry about battery life. I can just use my phone without any battery anxiety. I don’t love the added heft or size, and I don’t love the fact that I can’t find a skin for it, but it dies the job.
I love mine. I don't see why people say it's ugly... It's a white (or back) case that looks smooth. I was worried that the silicone would be too grippy and stick to my pocket when trying to pull it out. It isn't so I'm happy. It's now my XS Max case and I love it. The fit and finish are perfect. I have it in white because I've always loved white in the iPhone. It does get dirty but a damp cloth cleans it. My only negative I can say is it may not be as rugged as my old Otterbox but I'll just have to be more careful. Most of the negative comments I've seen about this case are from people who don't understand how the smart battery case works or it's purpose. It's not meant to charge your phone when it gets low. It's not an external battery and you would be silly to pay even half this much for one. This is also not a cheap solution to get more battery. The cheap way to go would be buying an external battery and cable to charge your phone. The downside is are you going to carry it with you at all times because it doesn't help if it's not with you.
Something I haven’t seen discussed a whole lot is how well Apple Pay and NFC tags work with the smart battery case. I use Apple Pay all of the time, I’m excited to test out the NFC capabilities of the XS, and I plan on purchasing the smart battery case when I get XS Max this month.
Heyyy Chris, I love the quality of your content. Wishing you all the best with your endeavours and know that you are loved! Ps. Where’d you get your shirt?
So does the case consistently draw power from the case battery into your phone battery to keep it at 100 percent ? Would it damage the overall battery health of the iPhone’s battery
So does the case charge your phone when it drops to 20%? Or is it on all the time. And in that case would it get pretty warm seeing that if you are a power user and your battery case is always on on top of that?
Jake Beck it uses the case battery first, then switches to your phone. It doesn’t get warm at all. I’ve had one on my XR since last Thursday and it works great. Since it’s the smart case it knows it’s not plugged into a wall outlet, so it doesn’t run a lot of background stuff.
I hate the fact that i cant turn off the case from charging when my phone is at a 100% i used that on the iphone 7 and cuz of this thing my ip7 got really hot all the time
Ibraheem Souror I like and hate that it can’t be turned on or off manually, one less thing to worry about, however, you don’t have control over it unless you physically remove your phone from the case
It doesn’t. When the case is on, the phone ignores the internal battery and drains the case’s battery first, while only trickling a little bit of power into the phone to keep the battery at 100%
Sayantan Banik the phone is not charging all the time. That’s where the SMART part of the case comes in. The software decides when it is the best time to add power to your phone. It also monitors heat and shuts of the case charge if it gets too hot. The software takes the place of you deciding then the best time to charge is, but it doesn’t just sit there and charge all the time.
Actually having an on/off is far worse for your battery. When you charge from say a third party battery case you are fast charging in a thick case, so not only will your cycle count be a bad as it could be, there will also be overheating. By using the smart battery case your phone and case act as one battery, cycle counts are kept to a minimum, my iphone 7 is over 2 years old and has been used with a smart case since the start, the internal battery is at 93%. My previous phone after 2 years was less than 70% (using a third party case). I will always buy a smart battery case now as it clearly preserves your cycle count and is much better for your phone. You can carry on killing your phone at half the price if you want!
Yes, but the volume grills at the bottom may be covered up, and the camera doesn’t fit snug. It still charges the iPhone X though. Pretty shitty of apple not to release one for the x though...

@dailytekk does the battery case deplete the battery health????
Nokia is laughing
Finally a review for the XR bc most of everyone has been making a video on the XS version of this case :(
Got one and love it. XR/black/black. Battery life for days, feels good, looks good.
Do you still own your iphone xr and case if so how is both you phone and case is holding up now adays
0:12 Pure genius shot Chris!!!
if it was true to size, yes. Sadly it isn't.

I absolutely love this case...the added weight is very welcome and it fits well in the hands.
I love mine.. My phone stays at 100% all day long.. I have not ended a day at less than 100% in the last 4 days.
Apple Juice - me too 😀😀
Apple Juice - does bulk take some getting used to?
But if that's the case (no pun intended), why do you need this case? This means that you don't eat through the entire battery case, and battery case's capacity is *less* than the iPhones.

Doesn’t that ruin the battery tho
Saikou it does
XR Black/Black love the texture and weight. Thanks for an awesome video.
Personally I think the battery case feels better intthe hand. Like the hump fits into your hand and provides a better grip. I have the black one on my XS Max and so far am loving it.
DJ M500 Does it get dirty and show fingerprints a lot?

I want one but don’t like it takes away from the XR colors
I have a black XR and I’m getting a Black smart case on Monday
0:51 - ayyyyy thanks man! :)
is that you
Love the case, worth the price in my opinion
Something I haven’t seen discussed a whole lot is how well Apple Pay and NFC tags work with the smart battery case. I use Apple Pay all of the time, I’m excited to test out the NFC capabilities of the XS, and I plan on purchasing the smart battery case when I get XS Max this month.
Why not use Apple Pay on your Apple Watch? I think that's more convenient.
It works on my iPhone X
I am loving mine. I think it is worth the price. I travel for work and the batter life is essential.
I have one installed on max, looks good feels good works good enough said . Thanks for the video
That blue and white wallpaper is nice what is it please?
Heyyy Chris, I love the quality of your content. Wishing you all the best with your endeavours and know that you are loved!
Ps. Where’d you get your shirt?
FINALLY SOMEONE REVIEWS THE XR VERSION! Nice video!
You have 116 thumbs up, so I can’t add my like.
Day to day I don’t need one but it can come in useful on holidays.
When you charge the case does the cable wiggle??
So does the wireless charging charge the phone first like with wired?
Thanks for the honest review. :)
Lockscreen wallpaper please☺️
Dose it affect the belt in battery life time 🤔
Chris, what brand is your iPhone screen protector?
Does anyone know if the iPhone XR can fit the XS smart battery case? thank you
can you plug your headphones in it and listen to music?
Nice review
Is just simple marvelous the new Battery......
I just brought one for my xs Max just because I go long distances on the road
Imma get one for the X-R all white I have a white xr
Apple did every good with this case wish they ad a 3.5 head phone jack to the case !!!
Austin Squires there’s no space in the case tho 🤨
that actually would be really smart and useful.
So does the case consistently draw power from the case battery into your phone battery to keep it at 100 percent ? Would it damage the overall battery health of the iPhone’s battery
TR5 it draws power from the case first then the iphone. It doesn’t damage the battery
Great video!!!
So does the case charge your phone when it drops to 20%? Or is it on all the time. And in that case would it get pretty warm seeing that if you are a power user and your battery case is always on on top of that?
Jake Beck it uses the case battery first, then switches to your phone. It doesn’t get warm at all. I’ve had one on my XR since last Thursday and it works great. Since it’s the smart case it knows it’s not plugged into a wall outlet, so it doesn’t run a lot of background stuff.
Jake Beck I reckon it’s consistently charging your phone throughout the day.
Does the dual charging method actually work? Wireless charging + wired at the same time?
I love my smart battery case
The price throws me off but my main issue with iPhones has always been the battery, so I might consider getting this case.
Is it bad on your phone to constantly be charging? Especially at 100% battery??
miles killough facts that’s what I’m tranna find out
miles killough ik you've probably got you're answer by now but yes it is not good for the battery
Am I a lil crazy I left a brand new s9 for a old iPhone 6s as a key into apple ecosystem
Nah
Switching from android to iOS? Not crazy.
Switching from a brand new phone to a 4 year old phone? Little bit crazy.
U got finessed
How’s it been?
i hate android but that is stupid especially a 6s
I hate the fact that i cant turn off the case from charging when my phone is at a 100% i used that on the iphone 7 and cuz of this thing my ip7 got really hot all the time
Ibraheem Souror I like and hate that it can’t be turned on or off manually, one less thing to worry about, however, you don’t have control over it unless you physically remove your phone from the case
Is the white going to turn out dirty?
Love that you wore that shirt. Romans 1:16
Pick mines up about a week or two ago
Is it bad for the battery of your phone if its charging all the time? Will that affect the battery’s capacity to hold its charge ?
No Ocampo
Remember how big the batteries were for cell phones when they just came out, this is no comparison to those older phones
how much screen on time do you get in real life with battery life with case?
an alien undercover My first day, I had 6 hours 45 minutes of SOT and still had 30% left on the phones battery. I have the IPhone X.
Would be awesome if this cases had a USB C port. So you keep the lighting for the phone but USB C for everything else!
I disagree because most iPhone owners have multiple Lightning cables but very few own even one USB C cable. I don't want to buy a bunch of cables.
does this ruin the phone battery tho
What colour would go well with my red xr
John The Junkie black
Whats moment case do?
Mine arrived at 0% phone was dying so I guess it charging my phone first just got one today
I honestly only want this case for Disneyland trips, or other trips where I need to extend my battery life. It would never be a daily case.
It’s amazing
I got one from t moble
I like it
I think Apple should make silicone and leather cases for the XR.
i knowwww but they never will because they don’t consider it a “premium” phone. probably because it’s cheaper than the other latest versions
I wish u could turn it off
Does it work with CarPlay?
pam oakes it works on car play on my iPhone X
I like that
i like my phone to get to %1 ...... would it prevent that ?
Wow
Oml its $200 where I live and it’s $130 where they live..... .-. I’m soo done 😂
Lachlan sims Woah, where do you live? Even the retail price of $130 here where I live is a bit much, $200 is insane
Am I the only on that I don’t like my phone to be 100 and charging, (p.s doesn’t that damage the battery
It doesn’t. When the case is on, the phone ignores the internal battery and drains the case’s battery first, while only trickling a little bit of power into the phone to keep the battery at 100%
Apple tax in full effect
Only apple would charge this price for a damn battery case. Apple could make a paperclip and folks would buy it bwhaha👈🏾😂😝🤪
Anybody else have a noticeable bulge in the back of the case?
early
The phone is charging all the time until the case battery dies... disgusting...there should be a on off button...no offence with the looks
Sayantan Banik the phone is not charging all the time. That’s where the SMART part of the case comes in. The software decides when it is the best time to add power to your phone.

Does this work for the iPhone X?
Yes, but the volume grills at the bottom may be covered up, and the camera doesn’t fit snug. It still charges the iPhone X though. Pretty shitty of apple not to release one for the x though...
