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

I have used similar battery case products from Alpatronix before for previous generations of iPhone that I have owned. The iPhone 14 Pro does have somewhat longer battery life than the previous iPhone 12 Pro that I owned and I appreciate that improvement from Apple. That said, I use my smartphone continuously and heavily throughout the day for streaming audio and video, business phone calls, business video calls, teaching at a major university, countless apps that I use to manage personal issues, business and leisure travel, photography and recording video. All of that sometimes causes me to travel across time zones where my smartphone needs to remain up and running for all of a 24-hour day or longer. If any of you attend some of the major theme parks it is all but impossible to get through a day without extensive use of their app. Battery life is a major issue for me. It is not always possible to plug the phone in to recharge it. Carrying power banks and cables just adds to the list of items I have to carry around. I find these cases to be a good solution for this problem. I can easily keep my phone functioning for a day or two while at the same time providing protection for the phone using the case. I have found the Alpatronix products to be high quality. They perform as advertised charging my phone when needed and surrounding it with a high quality case that protects it and which allows me to hold the phone in a firm grip without dropping it. The case fits the phone well and does not interfere with the screen protector or the third party lens protector that I have over the camera lenses. The addition of wireless charging adds to the utility of the case and works well with the charging stand I use for my phone, watch and headphones. The utility does have a cost in the form of somewhat increased weight, and added thickness due to the additional battery in the case. I find these to be reasonable tradeoffs for the benefits.

After purchasing my third one and only returning one of the three, I can tell you for sure the product quality is not something. I would absolutely recommend anybody if the charging port lasts more than a month or two you’re in good luck the last one I had the charging port lasted 2 1/2 months, but whenever you would push the charge the phone button it stopped working so even though it was full of battery, it would not discharge to the phone. Maybe this company will eventually make some upgrades but until then I wish I could give it less than a one.

Love this case. Keeps my phone charge and works with CarPlay via charger.

This case was only able to take and provide a full charge about 4 times, then would only partially charge and provide maybe 5% back to the phone. Very disappointing. Update: after I posted the first review, the vendor contacted me and sent me a new unit, which has been working excellent. Thanks!

I've purchased a few of these Alpatronix Battery Cases. I have a love-hate relationship with them because I am glad this product exists because I can't find many battery cases that have a Lightning-Lightning connection AND have wireless charging capabilities. When it's working, it's' great. When it doesn't, it's frustrating. They only last about a year or so and then it gets a little funky. Have had to replace it twice.

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.

Followup review: Product failed within one year. Battery will no longer fully charge. Have to remove iphone to charge case as case discharges iphone while charging. Do not recommend. Old review: Works as advertised. High quality. Excellent feel. Well engineered. Slightly weighty. Charges iphone battery first before charging its 6500 mah battery. Only noticeable difference is iphone 14 pro charges slower. Battery arrived fully charged. Very impressed. Works with iOS 17. Update! Product not supported by iOS18.1

I have owned several of these cases over the years with different iPhone models. Most recent is the iPhone 14 Pro Max case. Others seemed to work fine in regards to charging wirelessly and wired, and provide a full recharge when activated. Of note, the other cases i have had allowed a stable direct connection to the car and computer when plugging in via lightning cable to the phone/case. This model stopped wireless charging, and does not connect to the car or computer. When I asked for a replacement, i stead of the usual Amazon ease of simply asking and receiving a replacement/refund, now Alpatronics want all sorts of info and photos of the case to try to convince them that the unit wasn’t damaged (it has not been). Too much hassle to deal with Alpatronics now, ao I will be going for another conpany’s product. I gave 3 stars mostly based on the good performance of the other u its; i would rate this model 1 star and 0 stars for customer service
