La iPhone 6 battery It is still the main negative point of Apple's mobile and although we can ignore tips to increase autonomy, The truth is that the capacity of the internal battery is what it is and we cannot expect any kind of miracle.
For cases in which the autonomy of the iPhone is insufficient to reach the end of the day, the best solution is to buy a case like the one Mophie Juice Pack Air that in addition to protecting the device, it incorporates its own internal 2.750 mAh battery. We have tested it and we will tell you the pros and cons of this product.
Mophie Juice Pack Air for iPhone 6, first impressions
Several Mophie covers have already passed through my hands and the Juice Pack Air for iPhone 6 not much has changed from its iPhone 5 / 5s variant. The manufacturer has simply adapted the shape of the case to accommodate the lines of the new Apple mobile but nothing more.
The touch of the cover remains the characteristic of Mophie, that is to say, of a soft plastic quite pleasant to the touch which also makes the effect of non-slip. You already know that the iPhone 6 seems slippery so with this case, that problem is solved although it is also true that this finish is a magnet for fingerprints and dirt.
The system for inserting and removing the iPhone from the Mophie Juice Pack Air case has not changed either. The accessory is divided into two parts, offering a system of rails through which the smartphone slides easily, fitting perfectly both at the level of connectors and buttons. It must be said that the inside of the case also has that soft touch so a priori, there is no possibility of scratching the aluminum case of the iPhone when used in conjunction with the Mophie Juice Pack Air.
On the back we have a button that activates the autonomy measurement system based on four LEDs, each representing 25% of the load. Next to them is a switch that activates or deactivates the internal battery of the Mophie Juice Pack Air.
I recommend leaving it disabled and when we see that the iPhone has around 10-20% of remaining autonomy, we slide the switch so that the case starts the charging process until reaching 100%.
To finish with the initial review of the product, we can see that if we use the iPhone 6 together with the Mophie Juice Pack Air, we will need to use a microUSB cable to charge or synchronize the mobile and the internal battery of the case. We also have the possibility of using the Juice Pack Dock, a Mophie charging base that is sold separately and that recharges the terminal through two metal contacts.
More autonomy for your iPhone 6
Now let's get to what really interests you,the Mophie case is worth buying Juice Pack Air for iPhone 6? Does it bring much more autonomy to the Apple mobile? Let's see it.
The iPhone 6 has a 1.810 mAh battery capacity. As always, depending on the use we make of the mobile, it will last us more or less but unfortunately, for many it falls short or very fair. This forces us to have to do small charges as soon as we see a free USB port, even surely more than one carries a portable Lightning cable in their wallet or keychain «if«.
The Additional 2.750 mAh provided by the Mophie Juice Pack Air case are no nonsense. We are talking about how we can complete a charge cycle up to 100% and even so, we would have another 940 mAh left to recharge another 50% more. Assuming that the iPhone 6 battery lasts for a day, using this case we could increase it up to 2,5 days.
Obviously, this account is too simple and does not take into account many factors that can alter, for better or for worse, the total autonomy of the mobile. Mophie indicates that its case doubles the autonomy that the iPhone 6 offers As standard, however, in my tests these values have been comfortably exceeded.
When the internal battery of the case no longer has capacity, we will use the microUSB port or the company's dock to start recharging. Default priority is given to recharging the iPhone and then the Mophie Juice Pack Air battery.
The negative
As everything in this life, there are always negative points It is worth noting and in the case of the Mophie Juice Pack Air case it could not be otherwise.
We have a huge battery inside the case and how could it be otherwise, this impairs mobile portability. We add almost 100 grams of weight and its dimensions become 7,41 x 15,49 x 1,54 cm compared to 6,7 x 13,81 x 0,69 cm that the iPhone 6 has without a case. Despite this, the Mophie sleeve is one of the most compact in its industry.
This is the adapter (included as standard) that we will have to use for headphones with an L connector.
Another negative aspect is the heat. You already know that while recharging the battery, iPhone 6 tends to get hot slightly well, that heat inside the trouser pocket is not very pleasant and also, the zero cooling that there is only aggravates this problem. To avoid this, it is best to recharge the mobile in those moments that we are using it or when it is on a table.
This is the price you have to pay for having a much greater autonomy in the iPhone 6.

I've been with the white one for a month and my conclusion is different.
I always leave the iPhone charging, since I am going to use up the battery, that I pull the cover and thus the mobile battery does not consume charge cycles. The white one is shiny, so it withstands friction much better, although it also slides more.
The closure part is very poorly designed. In the previous model there was a hole to be able to move the button to silence the iPhone, but in this one they have put their own button that «is supposed to fit» when putting the closure, but I have never succeeded, so every time I need to silence it, you have to remove the lock.
It hardly gets hot while charging, I always carry it in my pants pocket and listen to music.
It's a great buy if you don't mind the weight and dimensions. In the month that I have been, just a couple of days I have run out of battery in the case and I come home with 100% on the iPhone
I have had it and have returned it. The volume and weight it adds is unbearable. IPhone has been designed to be very thin and light, and it's great to feel as it comes. When you put it inside this thing, it becomes something very different. I do not recommend anything. Instead, I do suggest, from the same brand, this product, which comes with the integrated lightning cable, and which exists in capacities of 3000 and 5000 mAh:

Hello everyone, I already know the brand well, I used it on my previous iPhone (5s), I had doubts at the beginning of how to get the most out of it, in the instructions that it brings inside the box they recommended activating the charge once the Mobile battery reaches 20%, I followed this step for a couple of months but then I decided to try another way, charge the iPhone to 100% and the case / battery to 100% and activate it from the beginning, the result was great, I don't know It heated the mobile at all (which if it happened when activating the charge when there is 20% of the battery in the mobile) and also did not use the internal battery throughout the day so the charging cycles of the mobile battery are reduced, delaying the full charge cycle count.
today I have an iphone 6, and do not hesitate to buy the mophie case / battery, (the one for the iphone 5s and the one for the iphone 6 are 120%), again I was surprised since I activated this case at 08:00 am and hard Until 23:00 pm, use both the Wi-Fi and 3G networks, I don't use 4G since it consumes more battery than I need and more mobile data as well (example: if I want to watch a video but I have the wrong link or I don't like it This, when deciding to stop seeing it, possibly with the 4G network, it is already completely discharged, wasting my data quota and obviously also the battery).
Going back to energy consumption, I downloaded from the Wi-Fi network, 300 songs approx, those that were in my icloud cloud, and I used WhatsApp messaging almost all day plus check Facebook and I opened a couple of pages in safari, it was one more use That is enough to determine how useful it is, I recommend it also protects against bumps and falls, the 5s was saved a couple of times thanks to this case / battery and I hope that the 6 runs with the same luck. I am grateful for the 3.300 mah that mophie delivers.
In summary, I recommend that you charge your iPhone 100%, charge its case / battery to 100% and activate it from the beginning.
ps: the black is much more practical to hold the hand, it does not slide easily, the white is too slippery but much more beautiful.
I can tell you that it is a .miarda ak it does not work as they publish and it does NOT comply with the guarantee, mine no longer charges my iPhone. 6. You get the legend k does not recognize it for not being original as of the update of April 05, 2016 with just three months of use of the mophie brand
