5 extended battery cases for the iPhone 6

The iPhone 6 is a fine piece of hardware - we found it to be fast, sleek, with a luminant display, and great camera quality, but it is marred by one major drawback - its battery life. The iPhone 6 scored in the middle of our smartphone battery benchmark rankings, achieving just a little over six hours of screen-on time. This means that you'd still have to charge it every day with normal usage, like its predecessor, while some Android flagships are now on the two-day stretch, and even a three day usage on a charge isn't out of the question with some midrangers carrying the green robot inside.

That is why the iPhone 6 is in a dire need of case, both to hide the unsightly back, and to add some needed girth to the ultrathin handset. We kid, but a battery case would stick like a spoon in butter on the new iPhone 6, providing you both with protection, and two-day smartphone-ing out of Apple's finest. Here are a few of those that are currently available, and we will be adding more when they hit the market.
