MAXBEAR iPhone 13 Mini Battery Case, 6500mAh Slim Portable Protective Charging Case with 360 Protection, Upgraded Design, Black

Working for 8 to 10 hours on location, I don't always have place to plug in and recharge my iphone. This is so easy to slip onto my iphone and charge it, it's almost insane that everyone doesn't have one. I keep mine in my backpack and it stays charge and ready for months. It has saved my untold times and I've purchased one for my wife to keep in her purse.

Makes my IPhone 13 mini last a good longtime, feels great in the hands as well, the only time I take it off is when I know I’m not going to be on the road for too long and when I don’t feel like carrying a bulky phone

Pile of crap , seriously save your money this thing didn’t even charge doesn’t hold much battery and doesn’t charge all the way. Additionally it only worked for a few days then failed completely … waste of money

This is an amendment to the comment below. And, very weird.Charging iPhone13mini before battery pack was via C plug from power adapter (5v,3Amp) to lightening adapter to iPhone . This does not work once iPhone is inside battery pack. A C to lightening to battery pack charges only battery pack and does not pass any charge onto iPhone.BUT, if you switch cables -- USB2or3 in power adapter to lightening plug into battery pack--it all works. iPhone powers up and then the battery pack tops off.Makes no bloody sense. A USB2 plug somehow communicates to the battery pack?***************this, below, is the problem incurred initially**********************************Pressing button on back charges iPhone13mini. But, if battery pack (containing phone) is plugged in for charging it ceases to charge phone. And, battery pack will continue to charge itself but phone is allowed to run to 0% charge.There is no switchover to charging phone, either first or second, if battery pack is plugged in and receiving a charge.

It is great when your on vacation and need that added power I. The middle of the day

It was good while it lasted… got in December 3rd. Have used it everyday. My biggest problem initially was you have to remove the case if you’re trying to charge your phone cause it would just keep turning on and off.However I used it like that without issue for a while. Beginning of April it began to split in the back and yesterday had a very weird smell coming from it. I charged it to just see if it would still work and the battery expanded inside the case.Overall for a short period of time it was great. But with the lifespan being that short I wouldn’t recommend it.

I would not trust this anywhere near water or rain. Your phone could be damaged or the battery could short and explode. The electrical contacts are exposed inside the case where the battery attaches to the connector (see green circuit board peeking out in the first photo). Also, the pins on the bottom of the lightning connector are exposed (see second photo).It does not claim to be waterproof, but if your phone got accidentally got splashed you could literally be playing with fire.Gets two stars because at least the rubber part is nicely contoured and fits the phone well.

It fit my 13 mini like a glove. The battery is wonderful. No charge anxiety.
