Review: Mophie iPhone 6 Plus Case

The Mophie iPhone 6 Plus case is a battery case that adds extra power to the iPhone 6 Plus. It is made to be thin and light, so the phone still feels normal in your hand.

What is the Mophie Juice Pack for iPhone 6 Plus?

The case is called the Mophie iPhone 6 Plus Juice Pack. It holds a 2,600mAh battery inside. Mophie says the extra battery gives more than 60% more talk time. The case costs $99.

Other reviewers have also written about this case. For example, PCMag and CNET have covered it.

How does the battery case work?

The case has a built‑in battery that charges the phone. When you plug a Micro USB cable into the port on the back, the iPhone charges first and the case charges second.

There are four tiny LED lights on the back. They show how much battery is left in the case. A small switch turns charging on or off.

The case also lets you sync to iTunes. You can use the same Micro USB cable to connect to a computer. You do not need a Lightning cable for syncing.

It is best to charge the phone from about 20% to 80%. This range keeps the battery healthy and gives the most power from the case.

Design and Build Quality

The case measures 3.27 x 6.85 x 0.57 inches. It adds only 3.9 oz (about 110 g) to the iPhone 6 Plus. The shape stays thin, so the phone is still easy to hold.

The outer shell is made of hard plastic. It has a soft rubber bumper around the edges. This helps protect the phone if you drop it.

The speaker port on the case points toward your ear. This makes the sound a little louder without using more battery.

The case has a small gap for the headphone jack. If you use a bulky or L‑shaped plug, you may need a tiny adapter. Apple’s standard EarPods fit without any adapter.

Performance and Battery Life

Mophie claims the case gives more than 60% extra battery life. In real use, the iPhone 6 Plus can last a full day on its own. The case can add another full charge, so you can get through a busy day without looking for an outlet.

When the phone is at 20% and you plug the case into power, the case will charge the phone up to about 80% quickly. After that, the case’s own battery will keep the phone running.

If you keep the phone at 100% all the time, the battery may drain faster. It is better to let the phone drop a little before charging again.

The case also supports “passthrough” charging. This means you can still use the phone while it is charging inside the case.
