It also has a very protective exterior. If you need maximum power for days on end, then this case is for you.Ā  Unfortunately this is the biggest Galaxy S8 case it is veryĀ heavy at 7.2 ounces, 204 grams..Ā  While it may be the best Samsung S8 battery case regarding capacity for the price, it lacks any design finesse. Which surely was part of the reason for buying a Galaxy S8 in the first place.

Even their advertising advises you to check the size of this giant S8 battery case before buying. It says 0.86inches on the image but on theĀ listing its a whooping 10 inches.

If you have bought a battery case previously you would have heard or bought a Mophie. The Galaxy S8 Mophie battery caseĀ is calledĀ a "juice pack"Ā it contains just enough battery life to equal a full phone charge — about 2950 mAh. Bulky, it offers less battery power at a higher price, because of the brand is a pop;ular Galaxy S8 battery case. However, reviews show some quality issues. In the end its another traditionalĀ Galaxy S8 battery case from a known brand and it will give you battery life but at the cost of yourĀ S8's beautiful lines.

The key differences in Galaxy S8 Battery cases

There are a wide range of Galaxy S8 battery cases out there with relatively identical user experiences, just different brands. Summarizing the S8 charging case keyĀ differences:

Ā 

1)Ā BulkinessĀ - every time you add a battery case you usually add an extra heavy battery to your phone.Ā  The bigger the battery the heavier and bulkier the charging case. Ā All the Galaxy S8 battery cases are heavier and bulkier compared to the i-BLADES Smartcase - because the battery does not always have to be on.Ā  You have to keep a standard battery case on, even when you do not need the power - youĀ keep the bulk. Ā This is not the case with the i-BLADES S8 Smartcase. You can remove the battery and memory Smartblade when youĀ no longer need power. Ā Leaving you a slimline case.

Ā 

2)Ā Battery capacityĀ - do you really want lots of battery capacity? Ā Or do you want enough power and battery when you need it?Ā  Invariably the answer will be battery life when you need it.Ā  If you want days of battery life you will normally go for a big case like the Zerolemon.Ā  But i-BLADES has a smarter way to deal wtih longer battery life for your S8. You can stack and charge multiple smartblades at one time and then just add that extra capacity when you need it. Ā SoĀ you have the same outcome but you can fit the Smartcase in your pocket!

3)Ā FunctionĀ - Every single Galaxy S8 battery case offers you battery power.Ā  The i-BLADES Smartcase offers you much more. It comes with a Smartblade that adds 16GB, 32GB, 64GB of storage through built-in and removable sd cards. The case also has a built-in air quality sensor so you can monitor air quality. Ā More Smartblades are coming soon.

Ultimately its down to your choice. But if you bought the Galaxy S8 thenĀ you definitely are a technology leader and you like a slimline product. You should really think about the i-BLADES S8 Smartcase. Its now available fromĀ www.i-blades.com.
