Apple - Smart Battery Case for Apple® iPhone® 6 and 6s - Charcoal Gray

Gives you plenty of extra battery life. Feels nice in your hand while holding it. One con I have is that it adds bulk which makes it harder to fit in your pockets. Another con is that it does not work with BOSE QC15 headset adapter. Also, this case is very expensive. Overall great phone case.

I hated having my phone plugged into the wall at the office during the day especially those days I'm swamped with meetings. I used to end my work day with about 10% battery left. I would then have to plug in for a bit just to make it to an after work dinner/happy hr. With this battery case, I can almost make it 2 days (depending on usage) without plugging in to charge. I used to use another brand battery case, but having another type of cable was annoying. I like using my original lightning cable. Apple has done a really great job with this case. Although its appearance may not be appealing to some, it actually feels great when holding the phone. Also, its great picking up the phone when its laying on a flat surface.

This is my personal review: This Beluga-looking iPhone case is probably one of the best investments I have made so far for my phone. I'm a heavy phone user because of my job, and I do not get past 2PM with more than 20% of battery left on the primary battery, so this is a great supplemental product. This case is bulky and will make your device heavier! I personally do not mind the heaviness or the bulk and it fits in my pocket just fine (I wear regular fit jeans). You're going to have a bad time if you wear skinny jeans or butt-tight J-Lo pants! I bought the space-gray looking case and it looks alright. More like a clay-looking gray but I can't complain. The external surface is like a hard rubber, but the good kind. The kind that won't slip from your hands if you happen to suffer from butter fingers. Warning! If you have oily fingers or have touched something oily or greasy or watery, it will show on the case! But it is easy to clean with a cloth. Internally the case has this suede-looking feel to it and it is soft, it makes it look pricey, but you're just paying 100 bucks + tax for it. The functionality of the case is what convinced me to purchase it: for starters the installation is not that bad because the case is only 1 piece, not multiple like other cases. All you have to do is pull back and hold the top part of the case, slide your phone in until it connects to the lightning charger and unfold the top part again and its installed. Next, the volume buttons work like a charm and I've had no trouble with them, the silent/ring space can be easily accessed even if you have no fingernails. Power button is gucci. And finally the #1 reason why I bought it: it has a lightning end to it, so you don't have to swap in between micro-USB or lightning cables, you can still use the same cable as before. The phone has a separate area for the mic/speaker which is great because the mic is closer to your mouth instead of away, and the speaker is about the same quality as the iPhone, slightly better, but hardly noticeable. HOW IT WORKS (must read): you have absolutely no control of the charge. The case will continue to charge your phone until the battery on the case is depleted first. There is no on/off button on the case. If you plug your phone in WITH the case on, it will charge both devices at the same time (phone and case), but the charging distribution leans more towards sending most of the power to the phone first and the smaller charge to the the case (think 90/10). Regardless I highly recommend that when charging time comes that you plug your phone in with the case on for best results. What I do not like is the 3.5mm headphone jack; it is deeeeeep. To give you an idea, if you were to connect your OEM apple earbuds to the case, you would have to pull on the CABLE to disconnect it, rather than the hard plastic-looking end. And the wired headphones you use HAVE to be like the OEM apple ones, so forget about using your L-shaped headphones if they have a short end. Personally I don't use the wired headphones as much, I have wireless headphones. I recommend the Sony MDR-AS600BT (hunnit bucks + tax) Protection... I don't know but I pray to the phone gods that I don't crack this screen because the edge protection on this case is thin, but BARELY covers the edges. I installed a screen protector for extra security, and I recommend you do the same if you plan on purchasing this case. Its also ideal if you play Pokemon Go, because you can have everything at the palm of your hand rather than carrying a portable battery.

Disappointed with charging my 6S almost every day. Light usage would get me two days. The battery case extended that to 3 to 5 days, and gave me a nice grip on the phone. Don't know about the protection, since it hasn't been given the 4 foot drop test yet.

My phone battery was beginning to not hold a charge for long. This case charges my phone without me having to remember to turn on a switch like you do with a Mophie. Apple has a great idea once again!!

This battery case by apple is a very nice vase. When I first got it my concern was the back with the bugle but after 2 weeks the back does not affect me, it took a little getting use to but now its fine. It takes battery life from the case first then the phone, with decent amount of use your phphone ne will stay at 100% and your case will stay at 30-40%.

I have been using a competitors battery case on my last two iPhones. I thought I would give the Apple case a go even though others hadn't given it the best reviews. The battery in the Apple case lasts longer then the other brand.

Purchased this battery case because it has a lightening port rather than the micro usb that most other battery cases have. I was a little apprehensive with the design but am very happy with it after using it for a while. The charging is seamless and there is no switch to have to manage on the battery case, it's always on and always connected and automatically switches over from the case to the phone when the case battery is depleted.
