No coating described, and no PFAS statement from the brand.
The product information we reviewed describes plastic housing, with no water-repellent coating named. Water resistance on products like this usually comes from the material and its seals rather than a surface treatment. The brand has published no PFAS statement for it.

What mophie Juice Pack Apple iPhone 17 Pro is made of, ingredients and materials
The Juice Pack is a rigid plastic (polycarbonate or ABS blend) housing with interior elastomer grip surfaces and a built-in rechargeable battery pack. Plastic phone cases do not typically involve lead, cadmium, or ceramic coatings that pose leaching risks in cookware. The main chemical concern in rigid plastics is residual monomers or plasticizers, but modern consumer cases are formulated to minimize leaching into skin contact or food. No special thermal-release mechanism occurs during normal phone use at operating temperatures (under 50°C).
What’s concerning
Category baseline
The starting point for this type of product, before anything specific to this product is counted.
No PFAS disclosure
No public statement from the brand about PFAS in this product.
Microplastics
Over years of use, scratch and wear on plastic surfaces can generate microparticles, particularly at grip seams and edges. This is a category-wide concern for all rigid plastic cases, not specific to Mophie, and involves minimal ingestion risk unless case material directly contacts food or is chewed.
Source, EPA ↗Lithium-ion battery hazard
Battery-integrated cases carry inherent risk of thermal runaway if punctured or crushed, or electrolyte leakage if ruptured. This is not unique to Juice Pack but is a known hazard of integrated battery products; follow manufacturer disposal guidance for end-of-life units.
What’s reassuring
Base material not linked to PFAS
The main material recorded for this product is not one associated with PFAS.
PFAS
Rigid polycarbonate and ABS housings used in mainstream phone cases are not known to leach BPA or phthalates under normal skin contact. No migration data or recalls for Juice Pack specifically have been published.
Source, ATSDR ↗Elastomer or grip coating chemical release
The interior elastomer layer (typical of shock-absorbing cases) contains rubber or silicone compounds; no documented off-gassing or skin irritation issues are on record for Mophie Juice Pack models.
Heavy metals
Consumer-grade rigid plastics comply with RoHS limits on cadmium, lead, and chromium VI. No evidence of non-compliance for Mophie cases is on public record.

The brand's record and disclosure
Mophie (owned by Zagg, now part of GN Store Nord) is an established mobile accessory brand with no public recalls or chemical hazard statements linked to case materials. The brand does not publish material safety data sheets or PFAS commitment statements for consumer cases, which is typical for this category. No documented controversies regarding toxic additives in Juice Pack products are on public record. Mophie complies with standard plastics regulations (RoHS, REACH in EU markets) but does not proactively disclose material composition beyond 'eco' product lines.
How it compares in its category
Waterproof phone cases in this tier (protective rigid shells with elastomer trim) share similar plastic-based formulations and carry comparable hazard profiles. Cases with added textured coatings or antimicrobial treatments present slightly higher chemical complexity; the Juice Pack does not advertise such features. Battery-integrated cases (like Juice Pack) add lithium-ion battery risk, but this is a known category hazard unrelated to case material toxicity. Overall material safety sits at industry standard for hard-case phone protection.
If you buy it
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or heat above 60°C, as plastics can soften. Clean with damp cloth and mild soap; avoid harsh solvents. The built-in battery degrades over 2-3 years; expect reduced charge capacity and consider replacement once output falls below 50% of rated capacity. Do not attempt to disassemble; the case contains a sealed battery pack and interior metal contacts.
