I used to spend a lot of time traveling and out in the field so needed portable power to keep my mobile devices up and running. Mophie Juice Packs were critical to providing this power and I often found myself picking these battery cases up in airports around the country.
The new Mophie Juice Pack Connect[1] accessory takes advantage of today's common Qi wireless charging standard and offers a universal system that extends charging to those with multiple phones, a family of phones, or those who upgrade on an annual basis and don't want to purchase specific device battery cases on a regular basis. The Mophie Juice Pack Connect sells for $79.95 and works on iPhone and Android smartphones with Qi charging capability.

The retail package contains the Juice Pack Connect battery pack, two Connect Adapters, a Connect Stand, a USB-C cable, and an alignment kit. The battery pack has a capacity of 5,000 mAh, which exceeds or matches the capacity of most smartphones today.
While you can certainly attach a Connect Adapter directly onto a phone, I like to use cases so just selected a couple of cases to use as my Juice Pack Connect cases. I primarily used a Speck Presidio case[3] with a Galaxy S20 Ultra and an OnePlus case with an OnePlus 8 Pro device. Mophie provides an alignment tool so you can easily center the Connect Adapter onto the center of your case or phone by matching the top and bottom numbers, along with the right and left side numbers. After alignment, peel off the back of the adapter and stick it in place.
