Good for the Short Term

This case was the cheapest I could find. So, I wasn't expecting much. I've used 3 other battery cases, so I have a lot of experiences with these types of cases. First, I agree with the other review about the charging status LEDs being VERY bright. Way too bright. I find myself having to cover them with my finger (or at one point, electrical tape) because they are so bright. That being said, my 2nd LED actually died and never lit up a couple weeks after using the case. Annoying, but didn't effect functionality. The case worked well for two months. At the price I paid, I'm okay with that lifespan. Now, I can't get the case to charge beyond one LED's worth of charge. So, I can't recharge my phone multiple times during the day anymore. To address the night-time charging that someone else mentioned...it's a design flaw. When charging the case and phone at the same time, it charges until the phone is fully charged. Then, the case is "smart" and stops charging the phone. For overnight, this can be problematic b/c the phone then starts to die even though the case is still plugged in. I've found that the first thing I need to do when I wake up is press the Power button on the case to recharge the phone while it's all still plugged in. I've never had it dip below 75% or so during this time though. My phone doesn't do too much to drain the battery while I'm sleeping.
