Boost Cases BC-2200 Review by Dracko
the only good thing I can say is that the battery works great. This thing lasted me through about 3.5 hours of Infinity Blade before my phone had to pick up and use its own battery. Other than that, this case looks bad, the two halves dont match up well at all, the holes for the bottom mic/speaker for whatever stupid reason are on the front of the case instead of the bottom and I feel like the silver might eventually rub off, though I may be wrong about that. I ordered the original Boost case the day I recieced this Plus version...the original is better in every way aside from having a smaller battery capacity. The original looks good and the 2 halves mesh together much better. The mic/speaker holes are in front of the actual mic/speaker like they should be and dont ruin the external sound like the Plus case does. I highly recomend the original at its lower price over this case. If you want the higher capacity, maybe the company that made this will hopefully redesign it at a later date.
I dont see how they could go from the original case to designing this thing....this is a major step backwards in comparison.
Boost Cases BC-2200 Review by Maikol
I was unlucky and received a defective item. Contacted seller and they sent me a new one. This one works perfectly and my iphone lasts about 2 days with overnight charge. Very satisfied.
Boost Cases BC-2200 Review by Masked Man "Masked Man" (Parts Unknown, USA)
I bought this case because I found myself needing to be away from electricity for long periods and I wanted a backup power source to top off my iPhone when needed. The case was shipped promptly - I had it in two days. It fits snugly on the iPhone 4S and looks good on the black version that I have. The case can be left on all the time in which case your phone will draw off the case battery until it is depleted. While it is doing this it is as if the phone is plugged into the wall. After the battery in the case is depleted, then the phone will operate off its internal battery until drained. I am getting about 3-4 days between charges with moderate use. My phone is not one of those that is affected by the "battery problems" that others have reported with the iPhone 4S.
The case can also be switched off and you can run off your iPhone internal battery until it goes low and then switch the case battery on to top off your phone.
One caveat I discovered is that when charging the case battery with the phone inserted, it will ALWAYS charge the phone for 3 hours THEN the case for another 3 hours. Even if the phone is at 99% full when starting, it will still trickle charge for 3 hours before the case begins to charge. It does, however charge the phone at 1amp so the phone charges a lot faster.
I can live with the 6 hour charges - I charge overnight. But a workaround I have used is to charge the phone in the case until fully charged - it charges very fast because of the 1amp charging (vs. .5 amp you get when you charge without the case), then I remove the phone and charge the case by itself - so the total time to charge is about 3.5-4 hours. I only do this when I need to charge in less than 6 hours. Most of the time I just charge overnight.
This is a comment embedded in one of the reviews here that cleared this caveat up for me as I had been watching the case (with phone in it) charge for over 3 hours and never move off 1 LED of charge on the back indicator. After reading this comment the length of the charging made a lot more sense.
I really like the case.
Here is the comment I am referring to in the above:
--------------------------------------------------
Please note that when charging together with the iPhone, how it works is as follows:
1. The Boost Case will let the iPhone charge for 3 hours. No matter how much is the battery level of the iPhone (0% or 99%) it will first charge for 3 hours before the Boost Case starts charging itself.
2. If you happen to interrupt this charging process, such as pressing the button on the case or removing the iPhone etc. then this process will start over at 3 hours.
3. After the 3 hours of initial iPhone charging, then the case will charge itself. This normally takes about 3 hours as well. All in all it will take normally 6 hours to fully charge the Boost Case while iPhone is inserted, so the best time to do this is overnight using the iPhone wall plug.
Alternatively if you charge the case by itself without the iPhone it should take about 3 hours using the wall plug.
