I always charge my phone when it's still over 50% that way the "fast charge" doesn't kick in the temperature is just a little warm, but when I forgot to charge before I leave home and ended up like 20% left, I remove the case and let it fast charge. Otherwise I always opt for slow charge.

The case like he said actually really helped alot, dropped my phone many times it's still fine, no crack no weird malfunction.

Of course batteries do degrade overtime but at least the phone case did the job to prevent many parts replacements.

Yeah, I prevent fast charge by charging from a USB port on my PC. Typically I plug in at 30-40% and stop at 70%. I do have a crack though... in the screen protector, which I will get around to replacing eventually, I swear.
