Alpatronix Battery Case for iPhone 14 Pro Max and iPhone 14 Plus (6.7 inch), Strong Slim Protective Extended Charging Cover with Wireless Charging, Apple Pay, CarPlay (BX14Pro Max) - Black

Great

I have been a loyal buyer of this for more than 5 year. I really didn’t expected this to die after less than 2 months of use. Wasn’t going to write this review but after seeing it sit in my night table for such long time and looking that this has happened to other customers, decided to do it. Hope they can take care of also. You can see the photos. Looks and is like new but with no mileage at all.

Great

So far I love this battery I like to added weight. I WILL love the extended length of time

As my iPhone 14ProMax ages, it naturally holds less of a charge. I went to a concert the other day and was sad to watch my battery dwindle down to 8% by the time the show was over. This meant that I couldn't record nearly as much photo or video as I wanted to, because the show tickets and seating assignments were solely on my Ticketmaster app, so having my phone die was not an option. That incident spurred the purchase of this device and hence my review.Yes, it fits the phone perfectly. For a backup battery case, it is pretty slim but of course it does add some weight to the device. It's easy to use, easy to see how much charge is left. Yes, you can charge it wirelessly.As for the issues: I believe their claims of how much backup power you get are exaggerated. Taking my iPhone 14ProMax from 20% to about 95% depleted all of the power in the backup bank. Their claims of "being able to fully charge your phone twice" are not true - at least for me.Also, the charging is very slow. I turned on the charging when my phone was at 60% for a quick 'top off' and it seemed to take a very, very long time to get to 63% which is what I happened to see as I was using my phone to scroll social media and send a few texts. It's definitely way slower than other backup batteries I own and far, far slower than plugging it into an outlet.Yes... CarPlay works -- when it wants to. In my previous configuration (no battery case) my CarPlay worked flawlessly 99% of the time. Now, it randomly disconnects and reconnects and sometimes I have to plug it in -- unplug it --- plug it in -- unplug it --- plug it in in order for CarPlay to connect.I was planning on using this as my main daily case, but with the issues mentioned above I don't think that will work. I am keeping the item, however I'll just pop it on for special events, travel, concerts or other times where I know I'll need a little extra juice during that day.

My phone was draining battery after downloading iOS 17.2. The iPhones is known for their poor battery life compared to other phones. Now I need access to chargers everywhere I go. I was carrying 3 chargers.I bought this case because I’ve used them in the past and I’ve been very happy with them. Mophie was the go to case until Zagg bought Mophie. I was never able to get tech support from Zagg but Alphatronix has outstanding customer service and they stand behind their product. They don’t use Zen Desk where there’s a phone number that is never answered and the only customer service you can get is a bunch of FAQ.One of the things I look for is a well packaged item. Their packaging is like the box my iPhone came in so there’s no need to pull out scissors or a box knife to open the cheaply packaged case. You won’t be spending time trying to peel the stickers off this case. The quality of the packaging speaks volumes. When I crossed Mophie off my list, I decided to try Alphatronix. That was years ago and I’m still buying their cases.I’ve seen Buyers complain about how difficult it is to get their phone in and out of the case. It’s not difficult at all! It’ll take you 5 seconds or less to put the case on and take it off. This case is solid, protective and it works.Obviously, it’s going to be bigger than other cases because it has a battery!I’ve had many Alphatronix cases over the years and I’ve been very happy with their cases.They still charge wirelessly and the case and phone are charged via lightning pin.If your battery is draining quickly, get one of these!

I used to love the brand and have used these charges with my last 3 phones (including my current iPhone) but their quality has seriously tanked. I’ve had my current phone for almost 2 years and I’m on my 5th case due to the charging port constantly braking. One of them ruined the charger when at least 6 of the gold pin contacts broke off while plugging it in and the other 4 had pieces of the plastic around the charging port break off. Both my current case and the one I had before didn’t even last a month before they broke. And when I tried to contact their customer service via email I got nothing but crickets and when I contacted them about the one that had the contacts break off I was told that I must have done something to break it and they refused to cover it under warranty. They say it’s a one year warranty but then either refuse to cover it or just refuse to reply to customer service emails.

Great case bought three years ago. Still works. Please try not to drop your phone. I dropped my a few times and it cracked near the plug outlet to charge the phone. Amazingly it still works and charges. I just need to fiddle with it now to get the cord to charge the phone.
