The best iPhone 11 Pro battery cases and covers

One of the greatest inventions since the iPhone is the battery case. This device allows you to charge your phone on the go — great if you’re always busy and don’t have the time or patience to deal with a dying battery, and even better if you want to avoid being fired for your battery dying mid-Zoom meeting on those work-from-home days.

There are so many options for iPhone 11 Pro battery cases that it can be hard to know where to start. Capacity is important, naturally, but you’ll want to choose something that suits your style, too. Of course, Apple offers its own case, but you can also choose from other manufacturers who have some solid options to keep your phone battery fully juiced. We’ve done the hard work for you and picked some of the best iPhone 11 Pro battery cases available right now.

Snugg Battery Case

The Snugg Battery Case is a slim, high-quality hardshell case with dual-layer scratch-guard protection, keeping your iPhone 11 Pro safe on the go. With its 4,800mAh battery, it adds up to 120% of battery life to your phone — that’s around 30 hours of talk time. This case has internal safe chips to prevent overheating or overcharging, for peace of mind, and easy access to all buttons and ports. Sync-through technology makes it easy to sync your iPhone with your laptop, PC, or MacBook, without removing the case — but you’ll need to remember to press the button on the back to start charging. It’s worth noting here that this case isn’t compatible with wireless charging, like some of the others on our list — but you can use it with wired headphones.

QTShine Battery Case

The QTShine Battery Case is a sleek, hard polycarbonate shell case with a protective bumper design — but it’s the 6,800mAh battery that’s most likely to impress. Your phone will stay charged all day long, and then some, with this competitively priced case. True, it’s a little heavier than some on our list, and you’ll need to remember to press the button on the back of the case to start charging, but its slim finish doesn’t add much bulk to the iPhone 11 Pro’s clean lines. Battery indicator LEDs remind you when it’s time to charge the case, and once your phone’s battery reaches 100%, the case automatically stops charging. It is compatible only with Apple AirPods and other wireless Bluetooth headphones.

Mophie Juice Pack Access Case

Mophie’s Juice Pack is one of the most popular battery cases out there — and the Juice Pack Access promises to boost your iPhone 11 Pro battery life by up to 13 hours, thanks to a 2,000mAh battery. With rubber shock absorption and beveled edges, this polycarbonate case offers 360-degree protection from drops and knocks. LED indicators show you how much juice your case has left, and you can choose when to charge your phone — just press the button on the back of the case. This case is also compatible with most wireless chargers and comes in three metallic shades: red, black, and our pick, blush pink, pictured.

Casely Power 2.0 Battery Case

Gone are the days when buying a battery case meant forsaking style. Nowadays there are loads of colorful options to choose from, and Casely’s Power 2.0 Case comes in over 40 designs — no mean feat. While many of the designs are floral, we’d opt for this cool dotted tan and black option, which not only looks great but protects your phone from bumps, knocks, and drops thanks to its dual-layer hard polycarbonate shell and flexible TPU sides. The 1.2mm raised edges add that all-important extra screen and camera protection, while LED battery indicators let you know when it’s time to recharge. This case has a 4,800mAh battery, but you’ll need to remember to push the button on the back to start charging. If we had to pick faults, it doesn’t support wireless charging, but we’re prepared to let that slide for the sake of sporting a colorful, limited-edition case.

The case is compatible with Qi-certified chargers so you can charge your iPhone and battery case simultaneously. You can always tell when you need a top up because the case displays the intelligent battery status both on the iPhone lock screen and in the notification center.

The Pelican Case Protector lives up to its name as a heavy-duty TPU, polycarbonate protective case cover that’s tested to survive the military MIL-STD-810G drop standard for up to 10 feet or three meters. The design’s raised lip also protects your screen from drops and surface scratches. Despite all that muscle, the case itself is sleek and provides two layers of protection. An easy mount system integrates with the protective case and is compatible with all Qi-enabled devices. A detachable magnetic battery pack provides up to 51% more power by magnetically connecting to the Pelican Protector Case. With Qi-certified support, you get hands-free wireless charging whenever the unit is connected to the mount. An additional USB port allows charging of other non-wireless charging devices.

The Newdery Battery Case features an upgraded port connection, gentle TPU substance, and a thicker bezel to help absorb shock around the edges of your phone. You can wire headphones into this case or connect with your Bluetooth AirPods. Users could place the Newdery Battery Case on a wireless charging pad (sold separately) for a lightning-quick battery recharge. A Qi wireless charging pad will refuel both your phone and case charger simultaneously. This case adds less than a quarter-pound of weight and less than half an inch in thickness for your iPhone. It’s slender and lightweight enough to not make too much of a difference in your pocket as a normal phone. You can also transfer items from your phone to your computer without removing them.

It’s finally happening — your iPhone is getting RCS in 2024
iMessage on an iPhone 14 Pro Max, plus iMessage on an Android phone using the Beeper app.

Today is a day I truly didn't expect would ever happen. On November 16, 2023, Apple officially confirmed that RCS texting is finally coming to the iPhone in 2024.

Yes, you read that correctly. Starting "later next year," Apple will add RCS support to the iPhone. In other words, if you have an Android phone and are texting someone with an iPhone, you'll be able to text each other over RCS instead of SMS. That means you'll get many iMessage-like features such as typing indicators, read receipts, higher-resolution photo/video sharing, etc.

One of our favorite Android phones just got its own iMessage app
Nothing Chats app on a. phone.

Nothing is trying to bridge the great blue/green bubble divide for Android users of iMessage. This is not a personal crusade to shatter walls and open windows, as much as Nothing CEO Carl Pei would want you to believe that. Instead, Nothing is piggybacking on tech created by New York-based startup Sunbird. 
Technically, the Sunbird app can be installed on any Android phone and it features a blue bubble for all iMessage text exchanges involving an Android phone. No more green bubble shame that could get you kicked out of groups for disrupting the harmony or even slim your dating chances. That’s how bad it is! 
Nothing is adopting the Sunbird tech and bundling it as its very own app under the name Nothing Chats. But here’s the fun part. The app only works on the Nothing Phone 2 and not the Nothing Phone 1. And this life-altering boon will only be bestowed upon users in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., or the EU bloc.

The app is currently in the beta phase, which means some iMessage features will be broken or absent. Once the app is downloaded on your Nothing Phone 2, you can create a new account or sign up with your Apple ID to get going with blue bubble texts. 
Just in case you’re concerned, all messages will be end-to-end encrypted, and the app doesn’t collect any personal information, such as the users’ geographic location or the texts exchanged. Right now, Sunbird and Nothing have not detailed the iMessage features and those that are broken. 
We made iMessage for Android...
The Washington Post tried an early version of the Nothing Chats app and notes that the blue bubble system works just fine. Texts between an Android device and an iPhone are neatly arranged in a thread, and multimedia exchange is also allowed at full quality. 
However, message editing is apparently not available, and a double-tap gesture for responding with a quick emoji doesn’t work either. We don’t know when these features will be added. Nothing's Sunbird-based app will expand to other territories soon. 
Sunbird, however, offers a handful of other tricks aside from serving the iMessage blue bubble on Android. It also brings all your other messaging apps, such as WhatsApp and Instagram, in one place. This isn’t an original formula, as Beeper offers the same convenience.

The iPhone’s futuristic satellite tech isn’t coming to Android any time soon
The Google Pixel 8's screen.

It could take a while before Android phones allow satellite connectivity to assist users in emergency scenarios, thanks in no part to Qualcomm canceling its ambitious Snapdragon Satellite plans. Apple introduced satellite SOS support last year with the iPhone 14 series, with the intention of helping people when they are out of cellular or broadband coverage range.

The feature allows you to text emergency responders, share locations, and request roadside assistance. But not long after, hope emerged for Android phones. Earlier this year, Qualcomm announced Snapdragon Satellite, with the goal of aping Apple’s initiative for Android phones.
