So the case leaves the bottom of the iPhone uncovered so I can plug an adapter into the port?
There is a small button on the back that you press and hold to charge the phone/stop charging.
That is great because I want to control when the battery case charges the phone.
I don't know if the case for the 7 is compatible with the 8. The one for the 7 had a very slightly different form factor than the one for the 6, but different enough that I had to buy a new one for the 7.
I appreciate that. I've seen on Amazon the Mophie case advertised as being compatible for the 6, 7 and 8; I found that too good to be true.

That looks good! I see that the battery case leaves the bottom of the phone uncovered so as not to block the port so I can plug an adaptor to use my own wired lightweight earphones while I figure out which wireless headphones to buy. Reviews look good. One issue some had was having access to the volume buttons
Is there a button or a lever that allows you to charge the phone?
