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.

What to look for when buying smartphones in 2016

The truth remains that your choice of Android phone is dependent on the depth of your purse. There will always be low ends and high ends android smartphones but what you choose depends on the price you can afford. Android as a mobile OS is taking the lead, overtaking the almighty Blackberry and iPhone.
Many people are interested in buying android phones but are confused on which brands and models to buy because new models of Tecno, Gionee, Infinix, Innjoo and HTC phones are launched on a frequent basis.
This is one major reason why I have decided to come up with this extensive guide on what you should look out for while trying to buy an android phone.

Price: How much can you afford to buy this phone? Are you looking at buying phones just above 10k-20k, 20k-30k, 30k-40k, 40k-above? In the world of Android, there would always be good phones whose specs would meet your budget.When you are done choosing your budget friendly price, you can go ahead to the next tip!.
Brand: Some brands of android phones have been tested and trusted over time. Always go for brands of android smartphones with OS versions that have easy access to new updates like Lollipop and Android-M. Though there are many phones in the market right now, so many strange names that cant be vouched for, always stick to brands that have been recommended for durability.
Battery Capacity: The strength of a battery cannot be negotiated when it comes to having a good experience with the phone. If that android phone you are checking to buy has anything less than 2500mAh capacity, just drop it. If you do otherwise, you will get to know my reasons later in the future.
RAM Features: For an average user, a RAM capacity of 1GB and 8GB of internal memory (with external memory slot) is considered satisfactory, any lesser is a flop.
Screen Size: If you are planning to get an android smart-phone with respect to screen size, I will suggest you to go for the minimum of 4.5 inches. Anything lesser will attracts momentrial difficulties such as Error when typing on keyboard, Small Game play Icons and so on which might ofcourse generate physical problems with the phone.
Camera Quality: Though the camera quality of a phone is dependent on the phone model, Such that the 5MP of Android Phone X is better than the 8MP of Android Phone Y. So the quantity of the MP should not be used to determine the quality of some android phone cameras. So when you decides to buy an android phone, remember to do more research about Camera quality not the pixels.
Availability of Accessories: Have you ever wondered that if you lost or damaged one of the follow-come accessories of your android, how will it be replaced. For example, the accessories of Innjoo Phones is next to not available, So if any part such as the Screen, Touch-Pad, Ear-Piece, Battery, Pouch, Charger e.t.c... get lost, It wont be replaceable, So I will strongly advice you to go for phones with maximum and full support for accessories provision anytime, anywhere...
