Does the MagSafe battery pack leave a mark on the back of the Air?

For those of you who are using an Air with the MagSafe battery pack, have you noticed whether it leaves a mark on the back of the phone, like the MagSafe charger does? If any of you have noticed a mark, which colour phone are you using?
ps: I’m particularly interested to know whether the black colour Air gets marks with the pack. But comments on any colour of Air are most appreciated.

i have the white Air.
i only have used the MagSafe Battery Pack twice in order to understand how it works and holds up.
i don't think twice would be enough time to judge if it leaves a mark.
i would doubt it would leave a mark, though. the battery pack itself is also a really beautiful device as well.

i was also on the line about which model.
i went with the Air. and was pleasantly a little bit surprised at how versatile it is.
i have gone back to reading iBooks on my iPhone because of the Air (i was reading using Kindle).
and although everybody's usage is different, i am setting my maximum charge at 80% (in order to preserve long term battery health) and still my Air has about 40% daily battery charge left at around 20:30.
usage-wise, i usually am starting my day around 5:00: during the day im using my Air for about 90 minutes actually talking on it every day; using 15 or 20 apps during the day; web searches; news reading; banking apps; i also have it set for a lot of notifications as well.
i think for very heavy users the total battery capacity would not be enough unless they augment it with the MagSage Battery Pack.
for "average" users however, its enough, to be sure.

one last note. i use an apple Watch. and do an 80 minute run every day (along with my Air (since its so light!)) i don't know what load a Watch might be placing on an iPhone. and i haven't seen any information about that.

I have been enamored with the Air for the past six days I've had it. My only significant complaints are the single speaker and the battery. I'm more concerned about the battery. I'm waffling and am quite torn between keeping the Air or going to the 17 Pro.

U don’t sound to enamored to me

Yea it's wearing off...almost as quickly as the battery drains... 😢

After a week of back and forth, I finally returned the Air. About to return the 17PM as well as it's giving me wrist pain.

Bought a 17P Silver just now, just wish the screen is the same size as the Air.

I’d recommend the regular 17, that’s the sweet spot of the line up with better speakers, battery and cameras compared to the Air and non of the weight and bulk of the Pro

I just picked up an air today. I’m upgrading from a 12PM.

It’s stunning, I absolutely love it.
So light, so thin and 6.5 screen is such a sweet spot for me.

Edit: I got the gold, but honestly it looks white.

The previous Apple Battery Pack never left a mark on my 13 mini. I haven't tried the new battery pack,yet, as I haven't had need.

If someone has the first gen Battery Pack, it will work on the Air.

Loving the Air, though I've started second guessing myself. I tried out a 17 Pro Max in store today and it hit me that the 17PM actually felt more comfortable in my hand. I've got big hands, and the thickness and size of the 17PM actually means the phone rests more neutrally in my hand with less effort. The Air I need to use my fingers and hand muscles to actually keep it propped up.

And you can't get a Pro Max inside of a month, so I'm pretty much stuck with this Air now. I've noticed some strain in my phone hand from a week of using this Air. Ah well.........
