How to use iPhone 6 BoostCase for iPhone 7?
One of our family members was given a Carte Blanche BoostCase for iPhone 6 as a gift. Before she could use it, she had the iPhone changed and now has a iPhone 11 Pro. This BoostCase was given tome to do something. This article tells how the BoostCase was turned into iPhone 7 case instead of selling it as it doesn’t worth much/
What is a iPhone 6 BoostCase?
It is just a 2700 mAh power pack specially designed to fit iPhone 6 so that it can become part of the iPhone.
Compatibility
There are only 2 problems if one uses this iPhone 6's BoostCase in iPhone 7
1. First, the camera lens will be half blocked because the camera windows of the BoostCase are too small;
2. No wired earphone can be used as the lightning cable port will be used by the BoostCase.
One can live without the wired earphone as there are Bluetooth earphones; however, it would be hard to go without the camera!! So, the next thing to do is to enlarge the camera window hole.
Easy Job?
It is a relatively easy job; however, there are things to watch out when enlarging the window holes
What’s Needed?
a) A high speed drill like Dremel with a 6 mm grinding stone tool bit
b) A paper template to fit and cover the camera lens of the iPhone 7.
Step by Step
Item Description | Action | Remark | ||
1. Making paper template | Draw the window hole on a paper using either the existing iPhone 7 case or by measuring from the phone. | Draw the window on the front and back of the paper to check the progress of the grinding.. | ||
2. Sticking the paper template | Stick the paper template to the inside of the BoostCase's cover using Uhu glue or otherwise | Avoid sticking to the external side of the case as it might leave ugly marks
| ||
3 Enlarging the window hole | Follow the template and grind away the excess plastic of the BoostCase | Again, work from the inside of the case | ||
4. Checking and Finishing | Check and repeat the grinding |
| ||
5. Painting and Polishing | Use black color permanent marker to paint the inside edges of the window so that it will look like the original. Polish to complete the work | Again, use permanent market to work from inside of the case to avoid leaving markings that would be difficult to clean. | ||
6. Repeating same for the Booster Case |
