  • Jackery Leaf iPhone Charger Case Review

  • Price and Where to Buy Jackery Leaf iPhone Charger Case: $30 on Amazon.

    Pros:

    • Compatible with iPhone 5 and iPhone 5S
    • LED light changes color to show you charging status at a glance
    • Charges fast by using the built-in Apple Lightening Connector
    • A full charge can give your iPhone up to 110 hours of extra operating time
    • Comes with interchangeable orange and white cases
    • Easy to use—just slide your phone in and out of the case

    Cons:

    • Case only protects the back of your phone—the front screen is left exposed
    • Somewhat bulky (weighs 3.4 ounces)
    • Only for newer iPhone models
    • Case cannot be charged using your regular iPhone charger—you'll need to use the (included) USB charger

    How Jackery Leaf iPhone Charger Case Rates:

    • Usefulness: 9/10. Smartphones seem to die even faster when you're using them on the road to take pictures and videos. This case will buy you some extra time away from a power outlet.
    • Portability: 8/10. It's nice that this charger is built in to the case, so you don't have to carry a separate battery, but the case adds thickness and weight. (It is 5.4 inches x 2.4 inches x 0.7 inches and weighs 3.4 ounces.)
    • Value: 7/10. The case is $30 on Amazon, which is average for a rechargeable case.
    • Cool Factor: 8/10. The sleek white case looks great if you have a white iPhone.

    Final Verdict: Selfies and travel apps draining your phone's battery? Use the Jackery Leaf while you travel and never be stranded without a charge again.
