iphone 6 plus battery cases w/lightning power input

[1984world]

Hey all, I'm looking to get a battery case for my iphone 6 plus, and was wondering if anyone knows of a case that is charged (the case, not the phone) by a lightning cable. Seems to be a hard thing to find.

Appreciate any suggestions!

Nothing is out yet. Not even an MFi certified battery case is out yet.

OP, you do realize that a battery case for the IP6+ is going to increase the mass and weight of an already large phone.

Have you considered a Mophie power station instead. Its not a case, but a battery that you bring with you in those situations that you might need some extra power.

Wonder if Mophie got the memo that the Iphone 6 is out. I had a Mophie Juice Pack Air for my 5S that worked well. And we need it with a lightning charging port.

I actually saw a number of battery cases on ebay for the 6 plus but none of them had the lightning port charging like im hoping for. Perhaps they are selling them but not available yet?

I do have, use and like the power banks, but even with the added size, sometimes it is more convenient for me to have just the extra size of a case rather than carry the whole battery bank with me. But I do like them, and there are so many options!

On a side note, are there any battery banks that charge with a lightning port? That would be a pretty good option as well.

Thanks!

There are much cheaper, and much higher capacity battery packs out there than Mophie

Perhaps, but I was just using them as an example.

Actually Apple refuse the female Lightning connector. That is the real reason the 3rd company only supply Micro USB connector.

That's not necessarily true, there were cases for the 5/5s that were charged via lightning port
