Mophie's Upcoming Juice Pack Air is First Qi-Certified iPhone X Charging Case
Accessory company Mophie has applied to the Wireless Power Consortium for an accessory it calls the "Juice Pack Air for iPhone X." Spotted by Mac Otakara [Google Translate] in the WPC's Qi Certified Product Database, Mophie was granted a certification for the accessory today, March 5, suggesting the iPhone X accessory could be announced in the near future and then be available to purchase sometime later this year.
While there are already iPhone X battery cases on the market, Mophie's accessory is the first to be Qi-certified by the WPC. This certification program encourages manufacturers to submit verification that their products comply with the latest Qi specifications, and subsequently allows customers more peace of mind when purchasing products, knowing that they will support devices like the iPhone X, 8, and 8 Plus.

The Juice Pack Air for iPhone X is described as a "form fitting case for the iPhone X," with a 1,720 mAh battery that provides "an additional 9 hours of talk time." Comparatively, the Juice Pack Air for iPhone 7 has a 2,525 mAh battery and the iPhone 7 Plus accessory has a 2,420 mAh battery. In the sole image posted to the Wireless Power Consortium's product details page (seen to the left in the above image), the accessory appears in black. Mophie sells similar Juice Pack Air products for other iPhones in up to five colors, like Navy and Rose Gold, so other colors could be coming as well.
Like those products, Mophie's Juice Pack Air for iPhone X would let users charge up the battery inside the case, and when their iPhone X begins to die, they could flip a switch and begin fueling up the iPhone while on the go. The Juice Pack line is compatible with Mophie's "Charge Force" ecosystem, so it can be placed on accessories like the Charge Force Desk Mount or any other Qi-enabled mat.

Mophie currently sells Juice Pack accessories for the iPhone 7/7 Plus, 6s/6s Plus, 6/6 Plus, SE, 5s, and 5, as well as a few other Android devices, typically priced at around $100. The only wireless charging accessories it has listed on the iPhone X's page are the Wireless Charging Base (also sold on Apple.com), the Charge Force Wireless Charging Base, and Charge Force Powerstation.

By the time Mophie gets this case to market...the next iPhone will have been released.

I've owned a morphie, nothing wrong with them or special either......simply not worth the 2-3x premium they charge. FYI to those who don't know...Battery cases have entered the era of "no-name" brands being the mainstream choice.

I wouldn't mind a battery case for the X, but I want it super thin and sleek. Mophie is just way too bulky and ugly.

Theirs looks great but the price is hard to swallow. For the couple times a year that I need a charger case, I'll opt for the $30 one and call it good.

You're misunderstanding. The case itself can be charged wirelessly. To power the phone, the case does so through the Lightning port.
It'd be really pointless to charge the phone itself wirelessly from the case as it's much slower and there's more power loss via wireless than direct through the Lightning port.

So it's a battery pack that wirelessly charges your phone but it's already attached to your phone?
So...why not just connect to the charging port?

To keep the only port on your phone free for other accessories like... headphones?

Hopefully someone, in the near future can release a case with wireless charging & a lightning port

The worst part about Mophie is how long they take to release their iPhone cases. It’s been 4 months since the release of the iPhone X and they still haven’t announced anything. I was very interested in buying one a couple of months ago since I’ve had one for previous iPhones but at this point I’m over it. It seems a waste to buy one now, especially since there are rumors of an X Plus which will have a different form factor. The battery on my X isn’t terrible anyway so I think I’ll be fine without case.

Ok, so question- I have an iPhone 7 Plus with a wireless charging case. Will that work with Airpower?

I wonder how Morphie (and battery cases in general) are doing this year, what with Apple offering $30 battery replacements...
In the past, that was the reason I bought a battery case. Went 2-3 years without a case, then put on a battery case to get another year or two out of the phone before replacing it. This time around, I'm just replacing the battery on my 6+ and expect to use it case free for another year or two before replacing the phone entirely...
I think the market for iPhone battery cases is going to die for just those reasons. The X gets such good battery life and wireless charging is so easy, that I think there will be less need for them as well. Mophie may sell enough of these, but there won't be as many as in prior years.
