The editors didn't like
Headphone jack doesn't work with many headphones
The bulge in the back doesn't look amazing
Too-grippy texture picks up dust
Hair

The way iOS reports the battery percentage could st
Odd-looking design
Expensive compared to the competition
No on/off switch for the battery
Too expensive for included features

Makes 3.5mm port incompatible with some accessories
It's expensive
And its 1

More than doubles iPhone battery life, Thin and light, Lightning connector on outside of case, Battery-status indicator in Notifications pane, Grippy soft-touch material
Doesn't ship with headphone jack extender, No status lights on outside of case, No power switch, Unattractive rear hump
Is the Smart Battery Case a tacit admission by Apple that the iPhone doesn't last long enough? Maybe, but the excellent endurance offered by the Smart Case helps make up for that deficiency.Credit: Samuel C. Rutherford / Tom's GuideWhile I like that Apple...

Putting it bluntly — there's no reason to go with the Smart Battery Case unless you need something like it the moment you buy your iPhone and, mysteriously, no other option is available. It does what it needs to do, but at a high pricetag and with proble...

It was only a matter of time before Apple made its own battery case, right? Too bad its debut effort, the $99 Smart Battery Case, is a bit of a hard sell. It certainly works as advertised, and niceties like iOS integration and the ability to charge th...

It's expensive, and its 1,877 mAh battery capacity isn't as high as some other case options. It makes the headphone jack inaccessible to some headphones, and its bulbous design isn't all that attractive
Apple's own iPhone 6 and 6S-compatible battery case is compact, comfortable and works with Lightning cables, but other cases exist that cost less and deliver more power...
