Top 5 Extended Battery Cases for iPhone 6, 6s, Plus, SE

Any avid iPhone user will likely tell you that, as powerful and feature-rich as Silicon Valley’s hottest handsets are, they’re unfortunately not the best when it comes to maintaining a charge throughout the day. Unless you merely glance at your iPhone just a few times throughout the day — which is highly unlikely, I’m sure — chances are you know exactly what I’m talking about.

And while some would argue that having a car charger, or even taking an extra Lightning cable with them everywhere they go, is a novel way to remedy the battery performance issues that most users experience, those aren’t the only ways to keep your iPhone running and running and running all day.

Take a look at this list of our personal top 5 extended battery case favorites that are currently available, and you can easily double your iPhones battery life — or more — just by slipping your handset into one of these awesome cases!

1. Incipio Ghost Qi Wireless Charging Battery Case ($100):

With the Incipio Ghost Qi wireless charging-enabled battery extender case for iPhone 6 and 6s, you’ll be able to easily double your iPhone’s standard battery life — with 2,100 mAh of built in juice — plus a little extra for good measure. The cool thing about this case is that you’ll be able to charge it wirelessly — whether that be via a Qi-enabled wireless charging pad, or the Incipio offGrid wireless dock.

Featuring a brushed aluminum construction and sleek design, Incipio’s Qi Ghost case features LED indicators that let you know how much juice is remaining — so you can easily stay on top of when you need to power up — which will certainly be less often than normal.

2. Anker Ultra-Slim Extended Battery Case ($40):

Anker has long been at the forefront of creating some of the best plug-in extended battery packs for mobile devices money can buy — and the ultra-slim extended battery case for iPhone 6 and 6s is no exception! While the case, itself, isn’t exactly a work of art or anything, where it does stand out is in the performance department — as it features a whopping 2,850 mAh of juice in an insanely thin, matte-backed shell design… Also, you can pick one up for about $40, give or take, so the value for what you’re getting is unbeatable.

3. Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 6/6s Plus ($100):

Featuring a stylish, super-slim design, the mophie juice pack for iPhone 6/6s Plus is an industry leader in battery case technology.

4. LifeProof FR? Power Waterproof Extended Battery Case for iPhone 6/6s Plus ($150):

Apple’s iPhone 6 and 6s Plus might not be waterproofed by default; but that doesn’t mean you can’t make it waterproof — while at the same time, extending your battery life. Enter the FR? Power case from LifeProof. The case’s strong, durable construction may be a bit cumbersome for the average user, but your iPhone 6 or 6s Plus will be 100% protected from the elements — and 100% charged up — for a long, long time — with a whopping 3,200 mAh of juice to keep you going all the live long day.

Boasting a whopping 2,400 mAh of additional juice, the Atomic S is not only durable enough to protect your iPhone SE from minor drops and dings, but it’s also designed exceptionally well — featuring a nifty little kickstand around back, so you can prop up your iPhone SE on a table for easy, hands-free viewing.
