Extend Your Phone's Battery Life on the Go with Zohmo iPhone Battery Cases {A Review + Coupon Code}

**This is a sponsored post written on behalf of Zohmo. All thoughts are 100% my own.

You are out and about, running errands away from home when you look at your phone and realize that the dreaded battery marker is now in the red. How do you react?

If I were to be honest, I might find myself panicking just a little bit. I'm certain I am not alone in that sentiment. While I am not someone who actually USES the phone that much, I have certainly come to rely on it nonetheless. I may not be calling or texting, but the idea of being without it is still intimidating. Having our phone readily available 'just in case' can be extremely beneficial as we are out and about.

• If the car breaks down, we can call someone to come help out and/or get an Uber if needed.
• If God forbid we find ourselves in an accident, we can call the police and insurance right from the scene.
• If we need to run errands while your child is at school, we can rest assured that they can still reach us if a child gets sick or otherwise needs assistance. As a special needs mom, this one is certainly important for me.
• If you realize you need something at the store, and your spouse has already left, we can send them a quick text to let them know, avoiding an additional trip to the store later.

But it is not just calling and texting either. I have found that for me personally, I use my phone for those other features more than anything:

• When I am out shopping and need to compare products/prices, I can search the Internet right from the story. This is ideal for price matching too. And since we are talking about shopping, having digital coupons on the phone? I use them all the time! 
• When the kids start doing something cute and I want to capture a photo/video, I have a camera right there on my phone. That is one less thing that I have to remember to throw in my purse before heading out. 
• When the weather knocks out the TV/power and I want to stay updated on warnings, etc, I can do so from my phone--- both with emergency alerts that come automatically or through various weather and news apps.
• When I am going to a new place (or an old place) and need GPS for my direction-ally challenged self, I have it right there with me always. To be honest, I am the WORST at directions, so this one is HUGE for me...I likely would never explore any new place if I did not know I had the security of GPS to find my way home when I inevitably lost my way! 

Yes, like it or not... our phones have become a staple in our lives that we have come to rely on for a wide variety of tasks. So, is it any wonder that that little red line on the battery makes us a little nervous? We have all been there though, right? Our errands take us longer than expected or we just did not realize our phone might be in need of charging before we headed out... maybe we do not have a vehicle charger available, or perhaps we are even away from our vehicle too. We find ourselves wondering what we are going to do. 

It is for just these scenarios when we need more battery power than our phone can provide alone that battery cases from Zohmo were created. I was recently sent an iPhone 7 Plus Battery Case for myself to check out and share with you.

So, what features make Zohmo iPhone Battery Case an ideal option?

• They provide extra battery life. Let's start with the most obvious and most important feature, shall we? The extra battery life. Like I said, we have all been in that situation where we needed extra battery when we were unable to charge our phone right away. The Zohmo iPhone Battery Case offers AT LEAST a full 100% battery recharge. The actual additional usage time will of course vary depending on your phone usage but that accounts to roughly 26+ extra hours of talk time, 14+ extra hours of web browsing, 16+ extra hours of video, or 80+ extra hours of music. Wow, talk about extra power! When we cannot get to the charger right away, this phone case has us covered.
  
  
  
• They require no extra cables. Of course, Zohmo is NOT the only other additional battery power option on the market. Having a husband who has a job (and hobbies) that can keep him away from a charger for extended periods of time, we have looked into other options in the past. One of the things that we discovered was that even with cases, a completely separate charger or charging cord was required. This is very annoying in a few ways. I don't know about you, but in my home, we already have an over abundance of cords. It becomes just one more thing to have to keep track of. Add in the extra inconvenience of having to charge them separately? It just does not seem worth the hassle if you ask me.
  The Zohmo iPhone battery cases makes it easy. First and foremost, they use the same lightning cable that we already have and use to charge our iPhones anyway. The car kit includes a cord as well, but this also means that we can use the cords we already have as well. Beyond that though, you do not have to plug it in separately from your phone either. The case plugs into the charging jack on your phone, so you JUST charge the case with the phone still in place. The phone will charge first, then once it has reached full charge, the case will charge as well. Very easy and very convenient. Plug it in over night and both will charge before you wake up in the morning.
  
  
  
• They offer edge to edge protection. Oftentimes when looking at similar type cases, it seems like you have to choose--- protection or battery power. Those that offered battery power didn't seem to offer much in the way of protection and those that offered protection did not provide battery power. As important as that extra battery life may be, so is keeping our phone protected in the best way possible. The Zohmo iPhone battery case is a polycarbonate case with reinforced side rails and raised screen bumper design that provides 360° protection for your iPhone. It truly does give us the best of BOTH.
  
  
  
• They have a beautiful, sleek design. I will be honest here, I am picky when it comes to my phone cases. I love things that are visually appealing, and that applies to my phone as well. I mean, I DO carry it with me at all times, so it should look decent, right? While the Zohmo case only comes in the classic black, I do actually love it's sleek design. It is very simple, but truly does work well for men and women alike. Would I like something a little more decorative? Sure, BUT I still enjoy the style and the added benefits of the case make it well worth the sacrifice of a fancy design. I also found that it didn't add too much bulk or weight like one might expect. Yes, it is a little thicker and slightly heavier than what a typical phone case might be, but not enough to be a bother.
  
  
  
• They are car mount compatible. The Zohmo iPhone case features a built in magnetic plate that is compatible with any magnetic car mount. If you already have a magnetic car mount, you are SET. You can also purchase the car kit which comes complete with the mount (and charging cord too). Like I said, one of my most common uses for my phone is using it as a GPS, so I really loved this feature. The car mount easily sticks into any car vent system, and the magnet offers a strong grip to hold the phone in place where you need it. I personally love that this mount is easy to move and adjust as needed--- no sticking it anywhere or suction cups that can lose suction when moved. Should I ever change vehicles, I just take it down and move it, no extra work required. 
• They offer a 100% money back guarantee. Not being able to see a phone case in person before purchasing can be a little intimidating. Will I like the way it feels in my hand? Will it work as well as it's supposed to? Will the quality be the same in person? These are all very valid questions. Zohmo truly believes that you will love their phone so much so that they offer a 30-day Money-Back Guarantee.  If you do not love your battery case, return it within 30 days of purchase, and they will issue you a full refund. With the Zohmo money-back guarantee what do you have to lose?

That all sounds great, but does it really do all that it says it will do? Like I said, I was sent a case myself to put to the test. I absolutely loved it. Again, it has all of these great features that I enjoyed: the sleek look, the no need for extra cords and easy charging but beyond that it really does work very well. Typically, I charge my phone every night. Depending on my use throughout the day, by the time night comes around, I am usually anywhere from 10-50% battery power. In order to better get the idea of how well this case worked, I allowed my phone to get to just under 10% rather than charging sooner as I normally would. Then, I clicked the button found on the back of the case to turn on the case. This in turn charges the phone via the case. And it works, VERY well. I have tried this several times at varying battery levels and varying activity levels. Each time, I have gotten at least one full battery charge out of it. There were times when it charged the phone completely once, and still had more charge left in it after. It truly is fantastic. I love that I can actively use my phone while I am out and about, and know that I do not have to worry about getting home before it's time to charge and that is a great feeling. As busy moms, we have a lot on our plates, not having to stress about keeping the phone charged...that is a great feeling.
