Best iPhone 5 Battery Cases

Instead of trying to get better iPhone 5 battery life, it is time to invest in an iPhone 5 battery case that can double the iPhone 5 battery life without the need to find a charge.

iPhone 5 battery cases snap on like any iPhone 5 case to protect the iPhone from damage, but they also connect to the Lightning connection so users can charge up the iPhone 5 anywhere.

There are many iPhone 5 charging cases available, with varying battery sizes, so there are many styles and colors for users that want an iPhone 5 battery case that they can express themselves with, just like a standard case.

Use an iPhone 5 battery case to get better iPhone 5 battery life without messing around in the settings.

Any iPhone 5 battery case will add some bulk, but most that we’ve had a chance to review are still slim enough to fit in a pocket. We typically use these cases for travel and when planning a long day out, or will keep the battery case charged and in a car so it is ready if we need it. That said, you can use any of these iPhone 5 battery cases as your primary case if you can live with a little extra bulk.

All of these cases connect to the Lightning port on the iPhone 5 to charge it up, and offer an on/off switch to let you pick the best times to charge it up. The best way to supercharge the iPhone 5 battery life is to charge from 20% up to 80% and then turn it off until later. This is the easiest to charge, and will result in longer overall battery life from the iPhone 5 battery case.

With the battery case on, users can charge the iPhone 5 and the battery case with a Micro USB cable, which is a common cable used for Android smartphones. Most iPhone 5 battery cases include a cable. Users will need to take the iPhone 5 out of the battery case to sync to a computer, so it’s a good idea to set up WiFi syncing in iTunes.

Because the cases need to include a lightning connector and the headphone jack is on the bottom of the case, not all headphones will fit, but most cases include a headphone adapter.

While there are many iPhone 5 charging cases, we’ve narrowed it down to the best iPhone 5 battery cases available. We’ve reviewed many of these cases, gone hands on with others and only picked those from companies we trust.
