Feob Battery Case for iPhone 12mini [5.4 inch], 5800mAh Portable Charging Case Extended Battery Pack for iPhone 12mini -Black

This is a $20 battery case. Apple charges well over $100 for a similar product, so I came in with fairly low expectations. That being said, I have owned the case for over two months now with no issue. I don't use the case all the time, and I can't imagine this case would be good for that use. It's too large, too heavy, and takes too long to charge. Instead, I keep the case charged and grab it whenever I go camping, travel, or plan on having a late night. For this occasional use, the case works beautifully.Let's face it, the iphone 12 mini isn't intended for heavy, full day usage. If that's what you need, buy the normal 12. No generic battery case is going to compensate for the tiny battery apple squeezed into the 12 mini while also being inexpensive, small, and light. But for those of us who just need extra juice on occasion, this is the case to get.Oh, almost forgot. I get about 2 full charges out of this case.

This case seems to charge fine, but does not transmit a charge to my phone, or any other iphone. I've attempted to use it on 3 different phones. Appears to be a problem with the lightning connector.

I'm frustrated because mine has broken... again...I've come to the conclusion that these things are great, until you (barely) drop them once or twice, by the third time, if you're lucky to get a third chance, it will usually start malfunctioning and/or running hotter. My first one that I'd bought somehow took a lot more impacts, and by the end of having that one, for some 6/7 months, the battery backing was totally puffed out to the point where it was pushing the iphone partially out of the battery's casing frame.It's tough because our phones, especially my iphone 12s, are older and they're taking up an immensely larger amount of power than their newer, larger, counterparts these days.Keep in mind, it's a decent product, but the protective casing is really not protective at all.I'm pressed to start looking elsewhere, or to give up on the idea that my iphone 12s can reliably keep a functioning battery case long enough for it to be worth it. Might just start walking around with a huge external usb battery in my bag... sigh.

This case works very well. Previous one purchased on Amazon worked ok for about 4 months and then didn’t. I think problem was charger didn’t fit well in case slot so it wouldn’t charge correctly. Past return window so just bot a different brand. This one works well and charges fine (using same charger).

Working good so far…..

I have bought this several times because they don’t last long. I wish I could find one that would last long.Either little charger breaks off or just stops charging but it’s easy enough to have and protect the phone. Last one bought in August 2023, so 6 months.

About a month using this battery it was good then it began not taking charge because the plug to the charger began to give out. you would have to fiddle around then it would take charge. now it won't charge and charge my phone at the same time it used to charge my phone first then charge itself. now i i have to charge the phone separately.

This is the 2nd one I bought, and it works like a charm. Easy to charge and use when I'm out. I relied on just the phone battery for a couple of weeks, and I was always stressed about running out of battery. So I decided to buy this product again, and it works well. I no longer worry about my phone losing battery when out all day, such as going to concerts or traveling.
