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.

Solid protection AND extended battery life for your iPhone 12 for a competitive price. Sure, you might find a cheaper product but, in this case, you get what is advertised: Quality. After purchasing the iPhone 12 mini, I had my heart set on another Mophie much like I have been using for my iPhone 8. However, the company doesn’t yet make a product for the 12 Mini. I thought I would have to “settle” for a cheap knock off to fill the gap. However, with Alpatronix’s offering, I am pleasantly surprised by the quality of this charging case. Not only is Alpatronix a US company, as far as I can tell, the case is also manufactured stateside. Two important features play largely into why this is a great case: Native Lightning connector support for USB charge-through, which means your phone is charged first followed by the case when plugged in and full support for Apple Car Play. Both work flawlessly. Bonus points for all-day power, easy phone insertion and retention (rubbery lip wraps around and better protects the face of the phone), package includes a Lightning USB cord AND screen protector, works well with DJI drone remote control pad, nice tactile grip thanks to textured surface, and wireless charging capability/compatibility - I am able to use my Mophie wireless charging pad with it. About the only thing I might wish for would be some type of dust/water resistant screening or filament over the small speaker ports at the base of the case. Overall, an excellent value and outstanding quality case for the money.

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.

This little case was bought for my iPhone 12 mini, to get me through the day on an aging battery. Works as it should, and you can see the rough battery percentage left on the pack with the little leds on the back of the case. Fits like a glove for my phone and no issues with the install. Also has wireless charging so I’m able to still use all the wireless chargers I have which is a plus. Downsides. The case isn’t the most durable in the world, as the back of the case already has deep scratches from where it has rubbed against things in my pocket, and from a drop it encountered on my gravel driveway. The other downside is with the charging. If the case is fully charged but the phone is not and you want to make sure it is topped off (both phone and case) wireless charging has issues. It will stop charging randomly when wirelessly charging if the case is topped off, leaving the phone not completely charged. It does not do this when connected to a wired charger or when the battery on the case is not all the way charged. Why it does this is hard to say, but have encountered this a few times when I wanted both the phone and case to be completely charged before heading out for the day. Overall it works well, and I haven’t had any major issues with it. The case has been able to keep my phone charged for the whole day when I can’t get to a charger, and will continue to use it daily.

Look and build is great and wireless charging works on my iPhone XR. Don’t have to worry of running low on power when streaming.

I have to take the phone out of the case to charge it. Very frustrating.

I LOVE this case; it works as they advertised. I use a charging pod; and just love the simplicity.

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.

Doesn’t always work and battery drains quickly.
