Juice it up!! Best battery cases for the iPhone 4 4s 5 5S Samsung S4 Note 2 Note 3

The recent smartphone's battery life isn’t bad, but it isn’t awesome, either. With careful use, you can make your phone’s battery last all day. If you want to work your phone hard, however, particularly when you’re traveling or otherwise away from places to recharge the device, you need a battery case.

We’ve looked at many battery cases for the smart phones. All of them plug into your phone’s charging / lightning connector, and all of them work basically the same way: You charge the cases up by plugging them into a wall adapter or USB port, and you activate them when you want to start charging up your phone’s built-in battery. If your smart phone is inside a battery case and you plug in the case to recharge it, your phone recharges first, and only afterwards does the case start charging.

The best phone "Battery cases" should be easy to toggle on and off, simple to charge, and capable of providing a good indication of how much battery life remains in the case. Oh, and of course, they should provide a lot of extra juice.

On a more subjective scale, I prefer button overlays to cutouts. With the latter design, cases leave holes around the volume buttons, the Sleep/Wake button, and usually the Ring/Silent switch. I find the phone’s buttons harder to press through such tiny gaps; I prefer a “surface-level” hardware button that doesn’t require squeezing the tip of my finger into a small space.

Keeping your phone in a battery case while traveling may provide an extra benefit, since almost all such cases rely on Micro-USB cables for charging—you may well have other devices (keyboards, speakers) that can share the same charging cable, and replacement Micro-USB cables are far cheaper than Lightning cables.

Which one should you buy?

Regardless of which battery case you choose, a bit of advice: Your phone requires more juice to charge the final 20 percent of the way. Turn on your battery case when the phone's battery level drops to around 20 percent remaining, and then turn the case off again when your phone hits 80 percent. 

This strategy will maximize how much battery goodness you can squeeze from the case while you’re out and about.

A lot of branded battery cases are available on the e-marketplaces (viz ebay, amazon, shopclues, etc.). They offer warranty, and quality but, being brands, charge a hefty price. A more convenient option, is to buy some OEM battery cases which serve the purpose and are a lot lighter on the pocket. My rule of thumb is a genuine battery costs almost the same as the mAh... (for e.g. 2200 mAh for 2200 INR... and so on.) If you're getting way better... then it is a sure sign of a red flag...

But, a word of caution, cheap imitators often make their way on the e-marketplaces, like the ones mentioned above. So always buy from sellers who provide warranty, and are Genuine imports. Also in case of battery cases for iPhone 5/5S with iOS 7, many of these battery cases are not compatible due to issues in lightning connectors. In such a case, it makes sense to buy from sellers who guarantee their compatibility with iOS 7... (don't worry we will list a few for you at the end of this article...)

Conclusion...

We’re huge fans of the whole field of smart phone battery cases manufactured by OEMs: They give that extra bit of power, are not too expensive (as compared to branded ones), and durable enough to survive basic use. But after weeks of  research, purchase and hands-on use of our top four e-marketplace candidates (ebay.in, shopclues.com, flipkart, amazon.in, we found the best of the bunch to be the following on ebay.in & shopclues.com. They're the fastest to charge, easy to use, and provide a great combination of power, price, and design. We hope something better comes along, but for now, you shouldn’t be disappointed with these. Plus, they also come with seller's warranty for approx 6 months.
