What about power? The Juice Pack Air for iPhone XS Max packs an added 1,840mAh battery. The plastic material is nice to the touch and easy to take in and out of your pocket, compared to Apple’s Smart Battery Case, which is made from a silicone material. The case is made out of a relatively lightweight plastic material and weighs 76.5 grams for the hefty iPhone XS Max. There’s also a slight ridge between the case and the screen, which can make it harder to swipe up from the bottom of the display. This makes it hard to use with one hand and reach the upper corners of the display for things like notifications and Control Center. If you’re using the iPhone XS Max (or even the iPhone XR), the chin at the bottom of the case does add a notable bit of size to the iPhone’s height. If you value things like Lightning Audio and CarPlay, the Juice Pack Access might be a better choice as it leaves the Lightning port completely exposed. This means you’ll either have to rely on wireless headphones and wireless CarPlay, or take the case off completely. Notably, the Lightning port on the Mophie Juice Pack Air does not support audio out or CarPlay. Along the bottom of the device is an added chin with speaker cutouts and a Lightning port. In terms of design, the Juice Pack Air doesn’t stray far from the design of previous Mophie iPhone battery cases. Mophie announced the product last month, joining the USB-C capable Juice Pack Access in its line of iPhone battery cases. Mophie’s Juice Pack Air is the newcomer to the iPhone battery case market. Read on as we go hands-on with two of the best battery cases for iPhone XS.

For the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR, however, there are several notable battery cases – including one from Apple itself.

When the iPhone X was released in 2017, the battery case market was virtually nonexistent, with only a few aftermarket options available.
