The Mophie Juice Pack Air has an extra 2450 Mah battery and also has a Qi wireless charger integrated into the back. These extra features sound great but aren’t that impressive on a day-to-day basis in our opinion. We don’t think anybody wearing a suit could easily deal with the extra bulk and the extra battery power might not be enough for power hungry students. We’ll elaborate below.

You install the iPhone 7 by sliding the device into the case and capping it off. Everything fits well together and there is enough texture on both sides to keep it from sliding around. The case fits together tightly so you can’t use a skin on the iPhone with this case. The battery case only weights 103 g’s which is actually lighter than the smaller Apple Smart Battery case.

When it comes to protection, the Juice Pack Air is going to protect your iPhone from small day-to-day drops. The case isn’t drop-rated but the edges of the case are quite high which is great for your iPhone’s screen. The great fit of the iPhone also reduces the chance that dust and debris will get between the iPhone and the case.

The functionality of the Mophie Juice Pack Air is where this product is suppose to shine. We didn’t have any issues accessing the buttons and the edges of the case do not interfere with screen usability.
The spare battery has a capacity of 2450 mah but that translates to an extra 50% of battery during our usage. The iPhone 7 Plus has a capacity of 2900 mah so the extra 50% was disappointing. Oddly enough, the iPhone 7 version of the Juice Pack Air has a bigger capacity.
You can sync your iPhone through case using a micro-usb cable. For wireless charging, the Juice Pack Air is compatible with any Qi compatible wireless charging accessory. For an extra $40 dollars, you can get a wireless charging base which is a giant blue puck. Surprisingly, the wireless charger filled our iPhone’s battery at the same rate as wired connection which is nice. We found that this wasn’t the case for earlier Qi charging accessories.
With the iPhone 7 Plus, there is almost no way you’re going to be keeping your device and the Mophie Juice Pack Air in a pant pocket. Especially if you wear a suit.
BUT if you’re going on vacation and need to have that extra juice and you don’t mind the extra bulk, the Mophie Juice Pack is going to suffice.
Last thing that we’ll talk about deals with the magnets on the case. Mophie has several magnetic accessories to use with the Juice Pack Air which is great if you’re willing to spend the money. Like the Mophie Force Hold, you can’t use this case with other magnetic case accessories which seems silly to us.

I have the mophie iPhone 7 charging base and iPhone cover. I was under the impression that when the battery runs down on the iphone that the extra battery would then give me more battery time. I thought that when you push the button on the back of the iPhone case and all 4 lights light up that it meant that I had more charge on my phone. At this writing, my phone has 11% left but all four lights on the back of the case light up. Am I way out in left field here?
I think you have to press and hold the button down to start the charging process.
I have had several mophi's since I got my first iPhone 6 Plus and now with the 7 plus. I beg to differ on the case. I have always slipped my iPhone into my back pocket. This case prevents the breaking and bending people associate with back pockets and big phones. Sure it weighs a lot but it's less than carrying a battery. Lock or charging cable. I can't say anything about the magnetic stuff other than I use a magnetic holder in my truck so naturally I slapped a metal plate (designed for such) on the back and it works like my last one did. I think however I liked the switch on the 6plus case rather then pressing and holding the button. Would I recommend it? Yes and I have given my old mophis to my kids. An aftermarket USB charging cable is more reliable than an aftermarket lighting cable and cost less anyway.
I love that Moonie help me with my daughter's broken case. No question asked. Sent out the case rightway. I love the great customer service. I'm giving them 5 stars. There are great. Thanks Moonie. My email is blessedxbecky@gmail.com my daughter loves cases
