They are much more comfortable in general. Small bit nice and heavy with good build and despite lower charge rates for iPhones (not Anker?s fault) it charges mine quickly. Lost my case in transit months ago, wanting to replace it and found this. Ill use it for now until I find a better replacement. Adorable and very comfortable It does what it is supposed to do. Then the display flickered once, twice, went black again and stayed black. What a blessing to have these shoes still available. Save yourself the time and hassle! It is light - probably around 10 lbs, so I can lift it without having to strain myself.
