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

Product arrived clearly used - no protective folium, dusty and scratched

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.

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.

Not impressed. It does do Wireless charging but it seems slow. Now for the biggest problem it charges the phone first not at the same time so unless you turn you phone off to charge you will never get the case past 2 lights. I use my phone as an alarm so I keep it on over night. Phone was full but only charges the case less than 1/2 way. If I want a full charge I need to charge separately. Taking the phone out is a pain since it is quite rigid and daily removal will likely damage the connector. Case is also hard and slippery so it doesn’t feel nice or safe in your hand. A kittle heavy as well. I would avoid this model and wait for better products to arrive

I have had four battery packs in the last 5 or 6 years for my iPhone 12 mini. The first two were the soft rubbery material and I finally broke down and spent a little more for the Alpatronix about 2 years ago. It was a good one until I got a little pool water in it last month and then it went wonky. So I recently ordered another and after a couple weeks and some spray cleaner the 'wet' one is working again, so I happily have a backup unit. These units are not warranted against water so I would not submit for a replacement and I need one asap. Two reasons the Alpatronix does not get five stars: 1. the cover wraps around screen too far and interferes with a glass screen protector edges and makes it prematurely release 2. the hard plastic cover is too slick to hold and is 'dropsy', I solve by using a serrated knife along the sides gripping surfaces and it is good to go. Hopefully the company would not void a warranty claim for that surface treatment of the case. They are good reliable units.

I really like the case’s feel - great grip and feels solid, as if you drop the phone, that should not be an immediate concern. However, the battery only worked for a few months before starting to have issues. Started with my phone not connecting to my computer while in the case, then the same thing happened in my car, and now I cannot charge the phone while in the case (which sort of defeats the purpose). In addition, though the case holds a charge, it does not appear to connect to the phone to charge, which really makes the thing pointless. Maybe an issue with this one model/case, though I have issues with all battery cases like this after 6-15 months.

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.
