Very thin and sculpted nicely.
It's charge LED is the same exact color as my Magsafe 1-2-3 gen chargers.
More thin then the old lightning battery. But also larger in size. Weight I don’t know.
Niceeee!Very thin and sculpted nicely.

It'll be better balanced being bigger and flatter than the smaller mag safe charging pack was. I'm excited for this one!
For pouches (in Europe), I’d recommend FitBag: https://www.fitbag.com/ used them across several iPhones in the past, including my current 15 Pro. The material is quite soft and ‘floppy’ though so there’s absolutely 0 drop protection, just protection from scratches.
Actually gonna switch back to a lightweight, thin case this time around though for my Air, for outdoor use. I found the pouch annoying when outdoors… when taking the phone out of my bag to quickly check something, or to show an e-ticket on public transport, I found myself awkwardly holding the pouch between my fingers or behind the phone.

So..... Fed-Ex delivered my Air battery yesterday afternoon. It was on my desk this morning, behind my locked door.
Well well well.. I go to open the box and it had been opened, no battery inside. The only person that enters my locked office when I'm not there is my PA. I trust her 1000%, but just to be sure nobody slid in, I went to the tapes..nobody entered all day except her. I reviewed the lobby door to reception. Fed-Ex driver came in, handed it to her, she walked it into my room straight away and closed the door behind her. Nobody entered again until I did at 8am this morning. Total gut punched feeling. Called Apple, they were amazingly good and I'll have another no later than Thursday 10am.
tl;dr Someone at Fed-Ex nicked my battery, either at the shipping facility or the driver. Apple is replacing

I’ve ordered the Apple clear silicone case for my Sky Blue. I’d prefer to go case-less, but with hard flooring throughout the entire apartment I’d better not take the risk. Not sure I’ll stick with the clear case, but needed something from day one that has MagSafe for my various stand chargers.
Adore June & Fitbag are my go tos. And for something more special i usually buy a leather one as well from ETSY (there are tons of options).
Fitbag is slimmer and super tight fit. Adore June its a bit thicker and the phone comes in and out a bit easier. I do prefer Adore June a tad more.
Wow! Im glad Apple was able to replace. Thats a bummer!
I had thought about ordering the Suti but the site says is 44g (pro) or 52g (pro max). Is it really that heavy? That seems off for just a back to weigh more than most cases.
I bought the bumper, but I am not sold on it. I may go case less.
People buying the iPhone Air, are you buying the battery as well. I was going to wait and see if the battery life can handle my normal day of usage.
I'm holding off on it for now. Based on the reviews, the battery life on the Air should exceed that of the 15 Pro (at 100% capacity). I can usually get through an entire day outdoors, or in the office, even on my 15 Pro at 88% capacity, so no reason why that wouldn't hold with the Air. The types of scenarios where I'm glued to my phone - on a train, flight, etc - there's usually a USB socket available to keep things topped up where necessary anyway.
Still unsure about what case to get though... I'll be using it caseless at home, as I did with the 15 Pro, but really would like something slim and light that'd at least protect the camera bump when placed on a desk, e.g. in restaurants or bars. Since the case would be put on and taken off frequently, I quite like ones with a microfibre lining to prevent scratches, and are flexible to allow easy removal (the Apple silicone cases are great for this, but not available for the Air...). Considering the Beats case, because that one looks somewhat flexible on the edges, and microfibre lined.
I did.. it'll likely live in my backpack for extreme situations. My daily use pattern will likely not require it, I have MagSafe in car and office that I use regularly
I will be purchasing the battery on release day when i pick up my Air.
