MOTA Extended Battery Case for iPhone 5 Review: 2000 mAh for 10 Extra Hours of Web Browsing

As soon as you start the research for that iPhone 5 battery case purchase that will extend your usage time, you’ll notice the huge variety of product available is a bit confusing. We’ve been reviewing battery cases and external batteries and chargers for iPhone 5 for quite some time now and even we are overwhelmed by how many power accessories for this iPhone have been released in just a few months. We’ve recently stumbled upon an iPhone 5 battery case that has been selling quite impressively, although it’s not at the top of the list when it comes to popular and best advertised brands.

MOTA is an extended iPhone 5 battery case that aims to double the life of your iPhone 5 thanks to a 2000 mAh built-in battery. A full charge of your iPhone 5 gives you an extra 8 hours of talk time, 10 hours of web browsing time or 225 hours of standby time. It is 5 x 2.3 x 0.5 inches in dimensions and weights 2.1 ounces. The Mota battery case is priced at $89.95, and whereas it is $10 more than your average iPhone 5 battery case it does offer a better mAh capacity than most.

It comes with an USB micro port and cable, as well as a screen protector. The case doesn’t offer full protection, as it leaves the sides unprotected and although the case feels solid and looks durable it might not be a good idea to subject it to high impact drops. There’s also no protection offered for the front, that’s where the screen protector steps in. the case is also easy to remove and it will pop off when the iPhone is dropped.

For our MOTA Extended iPhone 5 battery case review, we’ve put together all the information we could find, including all consumer reviews we found via Amazon. Most people agree the Mota iPhone5 battery case is a solid product that charged their phones just as promised in the selling pitch. In terms of thickness, consumers concluded the Mota is about as thin as any other battery case, adding 7mm to the phone’s thickness. Overall aesthetics were rated as nice looking, the battery case being available in two color themes (black and silver) and buyers also noted that the case doesn’t reflect light into the camera lens. Some also noted that the on/off button placed on the case’s back is “very well designed”.

We recommend the Mota Extended iPhone5 battery case only when you're not planning to use your smartphone in situations where high impact falls could occur.
