These are the WORST pieces if crap ever built. My wife and I have iPone’s and have gone through at least 7-8 of these. Fist off DON’T expect the speaker to work a ALL. it just makes a crackling sounds. The Batterylife is fantastic, but the units do NOT last.
The Customer Service is GREAT, they will change the unit out if it is within the warranty time period, wich it alwaysbreaks within. Which tells you that these do NOT stand the test of time. Stay away, they are nothing more than a headache. Unless spending time shipping things back and waiting weeks to receive a replacement is your thing!!! There are other choices out there. I have a Mophie power pack, works GREAT but the rubber side grip sides come off after the 2-3rd week. The glue used is very stickey and hard to get off. Use some W-D 40 and some papertowels and reomove the stips. there are two pieces the rubber strip and a clear strip, that was the double sided glue strip used to glue them together, be sure to remove that. once that’s done the Mophie will still work great, the rubber stips are NOT needed… The Mophie sells for around $89.00. look for it on e-bay and Amazon… The battery life is NOT as good but will get you through the day and your iPhone will be fully charged when you get home from work, unless you work into the evening hours, then your iPhone will give you many more hours of use!!!
This thing is a piece of junk. Don’t waste your time or money.
I use my phone ALOT. Both units I had stopped working after 2 weeks of “normal” use.
Don’t order online through ebay (SELLER: [email protected]) Total waste of money.
I have purchased two of these and have returned at least 7-8 times. I gave up and received a refund. If you are so confident in your product, send me a unit for free as a gesture of good will and we’ll see if it lasts…
