Alpatronix Battery Case for iPhone 12 Mini and iPhone13 Mini (5.4 inch), Slim Portable Protective Extended Charger Cover with Wireless Charging, Lightning Input, CarPlay - Matte Black

this is the 2nd or 3rd battery case I have purchased from Alpatronix. (I loose track, each new iPhone gets one). They work well and I get several years of use out of one. I never need to worry about having a dead phone. I originally purchased my first one for shooting real-estate photography because I used my phone all day and the heavy use drained the battery so that I would need to plug it in my car to charge up enough to make it thru a full day of work. this battery case solved that problem. The wireless charging is also a big plus and works perfectly. I will always have one of these on each new phone I purchase.

Product showed up very fast with Amazon Prime order. Battery was almost fully charged. Case has texture to have a non-slip feeling. Fit is very good and snug. Weight is OK, to me anyways, and it gives the feeling of holding something rather than feeling like your always going to drop it. I put my phone in my front pocket and it feels thin and comfortably stays in place. I bought Alpatronix Qi charging pad and it picks up and notices charge fine. At first before installing the tempered glass screen protector I thought it maybe felt a little cheap and like plastic but after I got it installed it has a very good feel to the glass. There were no instructions on installing the protector so from doing these before I just used process of elimination. I first took the phone out of the case, cleaned the screen with the supplied wet nap, then cleaned with the supplied dry wipe. I then returned the phone to the case to use for alignment, cleaned the surface once more, wet then dry. Next I used the supplied blue sticky tap and went across the whole surface up and down to remove any lint. Peeled the cover off the screen protector that says remove, carefully holding the edges as to not get any oils or debris on surface. I then placed the lens inside the beveled edge of the case starting at the top and laid the protective lens in place and started with pressure from the middle out working my way to the bottom. After it looked adhered well I pulled the phone from the case and went over the whole surface again using mild pressure making sure there were no air bubbles. Worked perfect. The one small issue I have is the tactile buttons are very firm to press in. This is not that big of deal to me but to some it might be. I look at it as maybe a design feature to keep from the buttons being to easy to press when you don't want it to be. I had previously used Mophie Juice pack as my go to for battery case and was satisfied with there product but they told me they were not making the Juice pack anymore so they lost me on the extra battery back-up case. So far I am happy with the switch to Alpatronix. I have only had this product for a few days so I will try and update later after I get some time and use with it.

I had high hopes. Holds the phone tight, and I nlike others, has a raised edge on front to protect the screen, a little extra around the rear camera for protection there. Very grippy, easy to hold, and not too bulky or thick. So, the case as a “case” isn’t bad at all. However, as a charging device / backup battery…. This sucks. Went through reviews and I’m not the only one. Never stays on and won’t fully charge my iPhone 12 Pro Max. Once turned on, the Alpatronix charges some for about 10 minutes or so, but stops for no reason or warning. Still plenty of battery. Turn back on, will charge 10% sometimes 20% and stop again. Over and over, it just won’t charge the phone. Only a little here and there. This is unbelievably frustrating. I also ordered a Mophie, Runsy, and MaxBear to compare and use in various locations. None of those really hold the iPhone 12 Pro Max quite as well as the Alpatronix, and don’t have the raised edges I like, but at least when those are on, they stay on until the phone is charged or I turn them off. I am too disappointed to want a replacement as Indont feel it would be any better. There are so many other reviews saying theirs do the same thing. I may truly and exchange it. Or not…. I am keeping the Runsy, Mophie, and MaxBear to leave in my work vehicles and computer bag. At least I know they will give me a full charge without having to babysit the power button. At the time of this review, I have had all four cases just over a week, and have used all four each day to compare. The Alpatronix is my least favorite charging device, but favorite case.

Pretty black case. Durable is indeed and protections from any angles and back is indeed good guard. Battery holding is pretty good. I wanted to take a moment to mention the issues regarding the battery stopped holding or won’t charge with the max capacity; I can’t charge mine to max 4th light, it won’t go all night long. The issue was the night before I used it till the last one light was empty, I knew it might triggered this issue, I noticed. It won’t be matter, but it does for most rechargeable chases. Here the tip to fix it: loose your phone from the case completely or just loose it out from the charging connector. Then hold the case power and count it to 10-15 second, and release your hand. After that, push your phone to back in well, and press and hold the case power to charge for 3-5 second. Then plug with wall-charger adaptor. I am sure it will reset the case power and will works like before. I hope it could help someone reading it. Case needs somehow a different colors also made material. This one is a bit slippery in hand. Other that that, it is still pretty good case. I will write more in the future as I have been using it. Peace guys.

Product is purchased for my iPhone 12 mini which is having poor battery backup.In fact thought this product will add some protection too.But in one month of usage( after 02 1/2 months of purchase) a hair line crack appeared at the back side of case.The plastic at that area is very fragile and can easily get damage in regular use. Not worth the money due to poor design.
