mophie - Juice Pack External Battery Case for Apple® iPhone® 6 Plus - Black

In a nutshell, the Mophie remains, in my view, the best extra battery/case combo on the market. The case itself adds a fairly minimal increase in length to the phone, and very little increase in width. It's about as streamlined as a case could be, and it's smooth enough that it slips in and out of your pocket easily. At the time that I purchased my case, only the Juice pack was available, which allows you to recharge your phone to a little over 60% power. Considering the already excellent battery life of the iPhone 6s Plus, that's a considerable amount of battery range. I do however have a few complaints that have resulted in a 4 instead of 5 stars. The case itself is a fingerprint magnet, and absorbs grease way too easily. Fortunately that can be wiped down fairly easily, but scuffing is inevitable. Per above, Mophie has packs for other phones that can fully recharge your iPhone. This one does not, and so far they have not offered the larger battery packs for the 6s Plus. This case is actually designed for the original iPhone 6 Plus. The 6s Plus retains the same general dimensions, but is slightly thicker. The end result is that it's a royal pain to get the phone out of the case the first few times you have to remove it. So much so, that black marks from the case will sometimes transfer to the phone's case, and can require some serious rubbing to remove. The case also adds a fairly significant amount of weight to the iPhone. I would say it probably doubles the weight. My guess is there isn't much they can do there since you're essentially carrying two batteries on the phone. Finally, I wish Mophie would offer a version of the case that accepts the factory iPhone charger. If for some reason I grab the wrong charger, I am (a) unable to recharge the case; and (b) unlike earlier Mophies that allowed you to remove the bottom section and plug in your iPhone charger, this new design now requires you to remove the entire phone from the case. My Mophie isn't my primary case; I use a lightweight Magpul case for daily duty. But if I know I'm going to be using my phone heavily on a particular day, or if I'm taking a work trip that requires me to be on the road for a few days or will see me using my phone's navigation software heavily, the Mophie is my go-to case.

As always, Morphie does a great job with this product. The case is VERY durable and can easily take a beating such as dropping it from heights and leaving the phone unscathed. The case is a VERY snug fit though and does add a tiny bit of extra weight to the overall phone but this isn't too much of a problem as I can carry it in my front pants pocket. The switch on the back of the phone can easily be flipped to introduce power to the device in those moments where you fear having only 2% power left. The one complaint I did have is that there is no way to connect a lightning port adapter to this as there is only a micro usb connector to charge the morphie battery (although that same port does charge the phone's battery in addition to the morphie one. There is a 35mm jack you can connect into but usually only in instances if you use the headphone jack that it came with so you'd have to remember to bring this along...unless you choose to use wireless headphones that is. Overall, this is a very promising product that is useful in those instances where you know you aren't gonna have convenient access to connect to a power source for a while such as those long flights.

I EXPECTED THIS CASE TO BE VERY BULKY AND MAKE THE PHONE EVEN BIGGER, HOWEVER IT TURNED OUT TO BE THE COMPLETE OPPOSITE....THE BUILD QUALITY IS EXCELLENT, VERY LIGHTWEIGHT AND SLIM DESIGN. THE FRONT FACING BUILT IN SPEAKER MAKES THE AUDIO PROTRUDE FORWARD TO THE LISTENER INSTEAD OF DOWNWARD AS WITH THE IPHONE'S BUILT IN SPEAKER. HONESTLY, I HAVEN'T HAD THE NEED JUST YET TO USE THE BACKUP BATTERY SO I CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT. I CAN SAY THAT I HAVE DROPPED THE PHONE WHILE IN THE CASE AND IT PROTECTS THE PHONE WELL. I WILL UPDATE ON THE BACKUP BATTERY ONCE I USE IT OVER THE COURSE OF A FEW TIMES. THE PRICE POINT SEEMS FAIR AS I KNOW THE QUALITY COMES WITH THE NAME. I CONTEMPLATED ON BUYING A KNOCK OFF EBAY/AMAZON VERSION BUT IN THE PAST THE CHARGING PORTS HAVE ALWAYS BROKEN. IT APPEARS THAT MOPHIE HAS REINFORCED THEIR CHARGING PORT TO AVOID THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM AS THERE ARE TWO METAL PRONGS THAT ARE VISIBLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CASE TO SUPPORT THE PORT. I'M HAPPY WITH THE PURCHASE AND WOULD RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE.

I purchased this based on my experience with the Mophie I bought for my iPhone 5s. This version for the 6 Plus falls a little short when I tried charging the phone's internal battery from 20%. However, the following day with both case and phone fully charged, I decided to run the phone off the Mophie and was very impressed that it ran for 9 hours under causal use (i.e. Social Networking, text, email and web browsing use). The profile of this case will increase your width and length as well as weight (which didn't bother me at all). Unlike the other cases I tried out, the Moohie doesn't have a side bumper that goes around the phone and snaps on independently, which I like. The case's back lights for charge indication is nice and discrete and the on/off switch is a plus. I love that the case charges the phone first and then itself. Overall, I think this case is sufficient for my use. However if you use your phone heavily, you may want a case that's over 2600mah.

After having it for over a week (not by choice) my iPhone & Case had only fully charged twice. I couldn't remove my iPhone from the case to charge it separately, to clean it, to return it nor exchange it. I was expecting way more from the charging device & the whole charging process was annoying. My iPhone was stuck in the case & I couldn't get it out to return it, lol... It was really hard to push the volume buttons as they blended in with the case. I did like the color (Gold) & made my iPhone heavier & bigger, which I liked. Other than that, I was really disappointed & not to mention that it would have been cool if the case could also charge with the same lighting cord charger as the iPhone. I'm sure there are people that will love it, but it wasn't for me. I've also never complained about any product before, since I always do my research before I purchase anything. So I don't take my negative experience lightly.

My 3rd Mophie case. I rated 4 stars because it only charges to 60%. In fairness, that's what it is rated to charge. Mophie's are durable and handle an occasional drop well. I would say a Mophie is NOT designed for rough use or repeated drops. But when combined with a ZAGG InvisibleShield Glass, I feel I get a very good level of protection for my 6s+. For the businessperson needing an extra charge to finish out the day, the Mophie is perfect. This case doesn't add too much to the overall size of the 6s+. I mostly wear slacks so getting it in and out of my pocket is still easy. With jeans I find the 6s+ sticks out some as the pockets aren't as deep and this case doesn't help that. If your not one to store the phone in your pocket when you're on the go, this won't be an issue. Overall you get what you'd expect from a Mophie. Very happy and would recommend to anyone.

"Wow, what a nice case!" I've heard this from more than one person, and it's true: Mophie makes the best cases. Sure, there are less expensive cases, and I even had a few for my iPhone before Mophie released theirs, a bit late in the game. The thing is, Mophie cases are premium in every sense of the word, with excellent build quality, pass-through charging (it'll charge your phone then the case) and high-amp output for quick charging. With the other cases, the LED lights would be on the entire time it was charging, and often wouldn't be fully charged even after being plugged in all night. They also didn't fit the device snugly enough so that the Lightning prong wouldn't always make full contact to charge the device. Not so with the Mophie -- it's like an official Apple accessory. If you're going to buy a thousand-dollar phone, you might as well spring for a hundred-dollar case.

I HAVE THE 6+ & ON THE GO ALL THE TIME. NO TIME TO PLUG & WAIT. I CAN CHARGE ON THE RUN. NOT MANY CHARGERS TO CHOOSE FROM THAT ARE SLEEK & NOT SO BULKY EASY TO GET OUT OF WHEN CHANGING. DON'T BUY THIS CASE FOR 24/7PROTECTION, LIMITED. I CHANGE CASES OFTEN- SLIPPING OUT OF 1 INTO ANOTHER LIKE CHANGING CLOTHES. WATERPROOF CASE FOR THE BEACH (CATALYST 16FT SUBMERGED# TO A CASE 4 THE OFFICE TO PROTECT FROM THE DROPS * COFFEE SPILLS. #LIFEP NUUD# WHILE OUT IN THE FIELD #BALLISTIC). LET'S BE REAL- UNFORTUNTELY THERE IS NO PERFECT CASE FOR EVERY EVENT, SO MOPHIE SERVES MY POWER PURPOSE. MY FRIENDS DON'T HAVE A BUSY LIFESTYLE. SO THEY DON'T NEED THE MOPHIE AS I DO.
