I just changed the skin on my iphone after a year to the rubbery backed one and put on a crystal film. This was a change from a hard clear plastic shell. Well, don’t you know, the battery is draining VERY rapidly with the change in skins. What gives?

I have a brand new iPhone and the battery run down and heat started last week. Spoke with the dealer and they didn’t have a clue and then spoke with Apple Customer Service; they were slightly more helpful. I was asked about a skin for my iPhone and that it shuoldn’t be charged with the skin on, that is just silly.

My wife has the exact same phone with skin and she doesn’t have any issues. It turns out it is Safari running constantly in the background that was draining my battery. Rebooting the iPhone fixes this.

I have turned off push for mail and set fetch data to 15 min, turned off auto join networks, and disabled location services (this will prompt you to enable it if an app tries to use it).

Now I get 2 days of battery life on my phone and I use Google instead of Safari.
