Buying guide Best iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S battery cases

iPhone 6 and 6S battery cases

iPhones: they look good, feel good and offer an unbeatable apps library. However, they just dont match the very best Android phones when it comes to pure stamina.

Its not all that hard to drain your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S battery before bedtime. However, there are plenty of accessories to help out.

External batteries are handy, but battery cases integrate an extra cell into a protective shell, giving you just the one gadget to worry about. And since stamina has been an iPhone problem since day one, there are now reams of battery cases out there. Here are our picks.

Otterbox Resurgence

Price: around US$59.97/£50/AU$80

Like any Otterbox case, the Otterbox Resurgence cares a lot about protection. It offers military-grade drop protection, which a cheaper battery case wouldnt even test for.

The main shell is made of fiberglass-strengthened polycarbonate, with a foamy core to make sure virtually no impact force gets through to your iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S. The only downside is that its claimed battery capacity of 2600mAh isnt as much as some others.

It wins back some points with battery intelligence, though — it stops charging when the phones battery is full rather than trickle charging, saving power. You charge its battery with a microUSB cable.

SAVFY Backup Battery Case

Price: around US$18/£14/AU$24

Want a real no-frills battery case? The SAVFY case gets you immense 3200mAh battery capacity for an insanely low price. We think this is the perfect accessory if you want something to boost your battery for specific situations.

For example, you might use it on holiday or for a festival then leave it off for the rest of the year. Why? Well it is a budget accessory and does de-class your iPhone 6/6S a bit, even if it is incredibly useful.

There are obvious seams on the back, its made of basic hard plastic and the button cut-outs arent going to provide the same protection and dust-proofing you get from a higher-end battery case. Still, given the price and capacity, you cant really complain.

Mugen Power 2100mAh Battery Case

Price: around US$69.50/£50/AU$93

The Mugen Power 2100mAh iPhone 6 or iPhone 6S case may not have the claimed battery capacity of some out there, but what it does get you is the sort of design you can actually live with, and much greater reliability than cells from relative no-names.

Low-quality batteries are infamous for losing capacity after a while, or just stopping being able to hold charge. Were pretty sure that doesnt happen to many Mugens - not for a good long while anyway. Here you get great palm-hugging ergonomics, easy access to your buttons without any naff rubbery coverings and a wide choice of colors.

As well as black and silver it comes in gold, bronze, purple and red. It also costs a little bit less than some top-end battery cases, although it is a premium accessory, not a bargain basement one.

Mophie Juice Pack Air

Price: around US$99/£80/AU$134

Weve been using Mophie Juice Pack battery cases for years, and now Mophie has made models for both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6S.

Unlike most cheaper battery cases, the Mophie Juice Pack uses a special pass-thru charging system that means even though the iPhones Lightning port is covered by the case, when charging itll actually charge the iPhones battery first.

This is more efficient long-term, and should cut down on the ageing of the Mophies own 1,700mAh unit. Rather like the Otterbox power case, this one also has very deliberate softer rubbery pads inside to stop impact damage from hitting the iPhone 6 Plus too hard.

Updated iPhone deals save up to £40 on cheap iPhone SE and iPhone 6S deals

UPDATE: Previously, the voucher code knocked the price of the iPhone 6S down to £60, but mobiles.co.uk has reduced the price even further, meaning you can now get an iPhone 6S for a tiny £10 upfront!

Apple initially struggled to meet the high demand for the iPhone SE. Low supply and high demand meant upfront costs and monthly charges ended up being much higher than we expected them to be.

Times have changed though and were starting to see some much more competitive deals out there. Usually, if you want a low upfront cost, youre going to be looking at one of the bigger bundles, arguably with more data than you need with an above average monthly bill.

Not today though, as Mobiles.co.uk and Vodafone have teamed up to offer an iPhone SE deal at just £24 a month, with 1GB of data, unlimited minutes and unlimited texts with the iPhone SE handset thrown in for free when you enter voucher code 16GBSE15.

The two partners are also promoting a similar deal for the iPhone 6S, allowing you to save £40 on the upfront cost and pay £60 upfront instead of £100. Weve got more details on both deals below:

iPhone SE 16GB | FREE upfront | 1GB data | Unlimited minutes and texts | £24 per month @ mobiles.co.uk
Considering this deal provides the iPhone SE for free (via the voucher code), and the monthly cost is only £24, this is easily the cheapest contract going for Apples much sought-after iPhone mini. Many stores are still charging £70-£100 upfront. 1GB of data may not sound like much, but its actually very workable if you stick to Wi-Fi for the more data intensive activities such as updating apps or streaming video. Total cost over 24 months is £576.

Voucher code: 16GBSE15

iPhone 6S 16GB | £100 £60 £10 upfront | 3GB data | Unlimited minutes and texts | £28 per month @ mobiles.co.uk
If youd prefer the more modern feel of the iPhone 6S, then this deal offers outstanding value. The voucher code saves you £40, leaving just £10 to pay upfront, which is considerably less than the competition considering the allowances here. For just £28 a month, you get a chunky 3GB of data along with unlimited calls and texts. Total cost over 24 months is £682.
