There is a need to use your phone for longer than a day and one common solution is an extended battery case. The new Spyder PowerShadow is my favorite option for the iPhone 6s Plus.
Some of us spend a lot of time in the field or on the road so we need our phones to last longer than one day. My Apple iPhone 6s Plus, see my full review, lasts longer than any other phone I own or have tested. However, there is still a need for more battery capacity and that is where either an external battery pack or battery case come in to save the day.
I've tried and enjoyed using Mophie Juice Packs in the past. I also have a battery pack stocked away in my gear bag, but that requires a cable and another hand or pocket to carry it around.
Spyder sent along its PowerShadow battery case for the iPhone 6/6s Plus for me to test out. I've spent more than a week with my iPhone 6s Plus inside the case and am convinced Spyder has a real winner here.
The Mophie Juice Pack provides 2,600 mAh for $99.95 while the Spyder PowerShadow provides 3,500 mAh for $99. That's another 900 mAh of battery capacity for the same price. The PowerShadow is also 3 mm shorter and 1.1 mm narrower than the Mophie Juice Pack. It is 0.5 mm thicker, but you wouldn't notice from holding both of them side-by-side.
