Smart Battery Case: Is there a reenforced tape or similar that can be applied to a new App

Tue, 31 May 2022 16:51:22 -0700

I bought a brand new, factory sealed Apple Battery Case for my aging iPhone 7 as a way of getting longer daily use without the need to recharge during the day. Was very happy with it for 4 1/2 months or so when the case started losing small flecks of the rubbery edging of the case. Then about a month ago, a piece of the edge came loose, eventually breaking off completely on the right hand top corner, and then a smaller piece broke off on the upper left hand corner. I seriously doubt Apple will do much of anything for me with my case, but I really enjoy the ability to go all day without having to recharge the battery as much. I'm thinking about buying another Apple battery case and would like to protect it from suffering the same fate, so I was wondering if anyone has an idea about reenforcing the top outer edge of the case with some really strong, really thin tape product, possibly something reenforced. Would appreciate any suggestions.

This is a picture of the case after one corner of the case broke off, since then the other top corner also broke off. This is for an iPhone 7, I really like having the extra battery capacity and will buy another new Apple battery case if I can protect it so this doesn't happen again, that's why I'm wondering if there is some sort of very thin, very strong tape or band that could be applied to the edge of the case to prevent a new case from breaking down. The case pictured is six months old, was purchased brand new in factory box.

Smart Battery Case: iPhone smart battery case not charging if chin has pressure unapplied

Tue, 22 Mar 2022 06:22:43 -0700

I have an iPhone 7 smart battery case on my SE 2020 (was no option for the 7 case that is why it says 6s) and if any pressure is applied on the “chin” it stops charging. This is especially annoying because of you have it in your pocket and sit down it does not charge. It is cracked right at the sides above (where the bottom corner of the phone rests not the outside corner of the case) on both sides as is common on these but not I have glued it back together and it still does this. Any help would be appreciated.

Anyone else had any experience with an Smart Battery Case for iPhone 6/6s when the phone is in the case and then plugged in to charge only the case charges and not the iPhone simultaneously?

Smart Battery Case: iPhone 6/6s Smart Battery Case Mini-jack (3.5 mm) input hole expansion

Mon, 13 Nov 2017 01:40:19 -0700

It was difficult to tell, based on the breakdown of the Smart Battery Case (for iPhone 6/6S) whether or not there was room to delicately sand/drill/or otherwise manipulate the case to expand the hole in the Smart Battery Case. The purpose being to allow for plugs (even slightly) larger than the original Apple EarPods Earbud Earphones with Mic mini-jack plug?

I don't want to break the device, and I'm too concerned about voiding the warranty (if one exists on the item), however, it is nearly unusable with any cables/cords other than the original Apple ones.

Any and all help would be appreciated!
