Mophie Juice Pack for Samsung Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge doubles the battery life of the phones

Just introduced on Sunday, the Samsung Galaxy S6 is Samsung's new flagship handset. Also introduced at the same time, the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge adds a little more real estate to the display with curved glass draping a little bit over both sides. But in the name of form over function, Samsung has made some changes to this year's models that many are not happy about.

First of all, in making the phone look and feel more premium, the plastic build has been replaced by a metallic frame sandwiched by a Gorilla Glass 4 protected front cover and a Gorilla Glass 4 protected rear cover. This means that the back cover on the phone cannot be removed and also means that the battery cannot be replaced. That seems important this year considering that the Samsung Galaxy S6 has a lower 2550mAh capacity battery compared to the 2800mAh cell that the Samsung Galaxy S5 sported. The Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge comes with a slightly larger 2600mAh battery.

So what do you do if you are a power user and you are quickly running down the battery on your Galaxy S6? Having a spare battery all charged to go was an option that worked last year, but is not an option now. But before you give up on Sammy's flagship model, there is a solution. The Mophie Juice Pack is a case that not only protects your phone from drops and falls, it comes with a 3300mAh battery that is more than 100% of the capacity of the cell on both the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge. It also offers a Quick Charge feature that will have your battery running all night at the flick of a switch.

The Mophie Juice Pack uses a proprietary Impact Isolation System that works like an internal suspension to protect your handset, while at the same time it is making sure that your phone is powered up to handle all of the mobile tasks you need to get done. Mophie is part of Samsung's SMAPP program, consisting of the manufacturer's strategic partners. This means that only Mophie will be offering a battery charging case for the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge when both phones launch on April 10th. The case for either device will be priced at $99.95 and will be available starting on that date from Mophie's online store, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, Best Buy and other retailers.
