$99 and this ugly thing can be yours. Not available for the + size. The battery in the case is smaller than the battery in the phone so you can't even get a full recharge out of it. And god damn is it ugly. This is symmetry gone amuck in the Jonny Ive design studio. Why doesn't the battery go all the way up to the camera window, all the way down to the bottom, and completely to both side edges?

Because then it would cover and interfere with the antenna breaks?

It looks like a tumor.

All the good Jobs did all those years is being slowly but surely dwindled away... That thing is sad, ugly, expensive, and not functional enough.

This case destroys the iPhone's inherent flauntability.

Both Lewis from Unbox Therapy and Marques Brownlee ripped this thing apart

I'm curious about the the battery in the case being smaller than the one in the phone. I've changed out batteries in iPhones several times over the years and the phone batteries are not much bigger than a stick of gum. How is that big hump smaller than a stick of gum?

The case is not as bad as everyone here is making it out to be, although your phone does become heavier so I would only recommend it on the older models. (1-4)

I'm pretty sure my father has an iPhone four with one of them.

As good as I think Apple products are (though I don't use that many personally) the recent crop of them have shown very poor design choices. Only one USB type-C port on the new Macbook, for example. Or how the new magic mouse is charged (there's a port at the bottom making it unusable). The Apple Pencil charging directly from the iPad Pro port is just begging to be broken. And now this case, which speaks for itself. Sorry, but all this is laughable at best coming from a company that prides itself on design and usability.
