The best iPhone 6S battery cases

Apple has made it easy to hang on to your older iPhone for several years by making its newest operating systems backward compatible with five-year-old models like the iPhone 6S, while previous iOS versions work on a number of even older handsets. Batteries, however, are consumable items that may wear out before your phone does, and that’s where a case that touts more than just hard-shell protection comes in. Below are the best iPhone 6S battery cases that offer great protection and a juice boost when you need it.

Just charge up the case and slide it on your phone for non-stop power.

With the evergrowing issue of e-waste, it's nice to see a company that's focused on following sustainable practices that allow users to fix their phones themselves instead of the all-too-common problem of having to throw out your iPhone and buy a new one when small issues occur.
