I was wondering if anyone has seen a battery case that has Lightning throughput. Essentially I need a battery case that doesn't use micro-USB. I don't want to get new cables. I don't necessarily need more than 100% recharge. Important factors for me are 1) Lightning cable compatible 2) Thin size.

OR

if anyone has a fix for me. I have that dreaded malfunctioning battery indicator. At any given time my battery can go from 100% to 50%, and when I plug it in its truly at 90%. Really hard for me to tell what it's actually at so I figured a battery case will help. iPhone 6(since launch date, no battery replacement), iOS 9.3.5.

Thanks!

Same exact problem as you, I've gotten this one about a week ago and it is working very nicely for me so far!

Hm, almost a fan of it, but does not completely cover the phone. If thats the only option, then I guess I'll try it out.

I did come across this one, but reviews aren't great.

Thanks!
Personally I like the fact it doesn't cover my whole phone, I hate having cases on my phone because of the bulk, I avoid it at all costs, but with my battery not lasting me nearly as long as it used to I pretty much need this case to get me through a day. I love being able to use my phone as much as I want all day and not having to worry about charging until I get home at night. But I guess it's just a personal preference about the amount of coverage of the phone.
