iPhone X Smart Battery Case Review

12 April 2019

Apple iPhone X Smart Battery Case

iPhone X Smart Battery Case, £129 – Apple | John Lewis

When Apple (finally!) released a smart battery case for the iPhone X, I think most iPhone X owners did a little happy dance. I myself had been waiting for it since I ditched my iPhone 7, quite a few years ago, and the third-party battery cases available just didn’t have the same appeal to me. When it was launched late last year, I read some reviews online saying that this case wasn’t fully compatible with iPhone X (my current phone), so that put me off buying it.

Inside the iPhone Smart Battery Case

Turns out it is compatible, although officially, Apple still says on its website that it’s only compatible with iPhone XS. On closer inspection, you can see that the case doesn’t have the right cutouts for the iPhone X speakers and microphone (the bottom left side of the case only has three holes, whereas the iPhone X has six holes either side). But it does work and I haven’t had any problems with charging or sound.

How to Fit iPhone Battery Case

The iPhone XS Smart Battery Case costs £129 (ouch!) and it’s available in White, Black and Pink Sand. There are also two other models that fit the iPhone X Max and the iPhone XR, and they are all priced the same. My previous one for my iPhone 7 was white, so this time I chose the new ‘Pink Sand’ colour, which matches my Apple Watch ‘Pink Sand’ strap. The inside has a soft micro fibre lining and the outside material is a soft silicone with a rubbery grippy feel to it. I’ve already noticed I drop my phone far less than when I have it without the Smart Battery Case.

Does iPhone XS Smart Battery Case fit iPhone X?

The case plugs into the iPhone’s lightning port and it immediately starts to charge your phone. You can check how much battery your phone and your battery case have by swiping right from the home screen. The Smart Battery Case gives you an extra 100% battery life, which is amazing! It doesn’t make my phone too heavy and bulky; it feels just right.

iPhone X Smart Battery Case Charging

I love how convenient it is; I don’t need a separate charger for it, I don’t even need to take the case off my phone if I don’t want to. It’s an absolute must-have for me, especially on long days out with the kids (YouTube Kids is a total battery drainer!), train journeys and as a content creator, who uses their phone all the time for work.

If you’re thinking about investing in a Smart Battery Case for your iPhone, I would highly recommend this one. It might be worth popping into your nearest Apple store to have a feel for it, try it on your phone before committing to a rather pricey product. I find the staff very friendly and helpful at the Apple stores I’ve been to, and they are always incredibly knowledgeable if you have any questions.

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎

Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to repre Trust the process ✨ I chose this phrase to represent 2021 for me and it couldn’t be more fitting.

Every time I find myself thinking things won’t work out before even giving it a chance, I repeat to myself “trust the process”. It gives me the strength I need to keep going and just like that... things do work out. Always.

This lockdown has been so much harder than the first one for me. How have you found it?

I thought it was going to be the same or easier than the first time because we’d done it before, but it’s actually been so much more testing.

The only way I’m getting through it is by 💫 trusting the process 💫
