Default White leather case and pogo pins battery case

I now have both of the above, both cost around £9 -£12, and both serve different purposes.

The white leather case is good in that it protects the screen, it keeps the phone low profile (ie it still feels thin even with the case on) and it protects the camera lens by raising the lip slightly. It also props the phone up at an angle for watching films etc.

Downside is that it can feel a bit awkward when making calls because of the leather cover and also when using the camera. Not too bad though in reality.

The battery case on the other hand does bulk up the phone a bit, so it feels larger (bit like a galaxy note) but actually does still look good (IMO). So far it does also seem to work. Not tested it extensively, but people reckon it will charge your phone back up by 40%. If I was going to have a long day I would switch to this case. The kickstand is a bit flimsy and so will probably not use it much, but it does click into place so it stays out of the way and does not flop around.

Anyway, pics attached so you can make up your own minds. I have put a Duracell AA battery in shot for size comparisons.

Oddly enough I have not seen a black version. But hey, I am new to the One X so there may be.

Amazon (via an amazon seller - not directly from amazon if you know what I mean)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...&s=electronics

Be careful - it seems the black one is for the One S and the clear one for the One X

could you let us know how long the battery lasts? or to what % it can charge the phone gain?
would also be nice to know how long you need to fully charge the battery case

I think what it says on the box is quite accurate - it took about 7-8 hours to charge when attached to a pc USB socket.

When my phone got down to 51% I put it in the case and used that to charge it, (not using it whilst I charged it) and it took it back to 100%. Case was then expired.

Hmmm.

Had the phone in the white case in my jeans pocket over the weekend. The edges look a little frayed and have picked up a blue tint. (edges of the case that is).
