I’m going on a trip and would like to have a case as backup. I like the look of the MagSafe from Apple but it’s $99 and I hear it only charges to 45%. Any suggestions would be great! Thank you!

Hello all,

New 12 Mini user here - just upgraded after my 7 Plus bit the dust. I’m a bit out of the loop with wireless charging and whatever accessories are worth buying…I’ve been looking around for reasonably priced cases to try out, as well as an external battery, either as part of the case, or separate accessory. I don’t really need a wallet, but happy to consider anything decent.

Happy to use AliExpress if there’s some good deals going.

Any recommendations?

Thanks

So I'm going ahead and getting a 14 Pro because my 11 Pro's 64GB storage is full and the screen is scratched to oblivion. However, there does not seem to be an official, or 3rd-party, a Smart Battery Case for the 12/13/14 iPhones?

This is the best accessory I've ever bought for a phone. I travel a lot and don't even have to plug my phone in at an airport or wherever, my old phone on 82% battery health can go all day with this thing.

I can keep it on my phone at all times and then whack it on my wireless charger at night and it will charge the case AND the phone at the same time.

I see there are battery packs for the phones after the 11 series. BUT these don't allow me to charge the battery pack wirelessly?! For instance the Anker 633 Power Bank, Apple MagSafe Battery Pack, etc. I have to plug them in?!

Is the battery life that good on the newer phones that this isn't a big deal? I definitely don't believe that.

I am still considering buying a new old iPhone 11 Pro with more storage and a screen protector, so I can keep this wonderful accessory going.
