There's no shortage of battery cases for your Apple iPhone 6 or 6s on the market, but they're all thick and clunky. Except for the amazingly thin ThinCharge case from ChargeTech, as tech expert Dave Taylor from http://www.AskDaveTaylor.com/ explains in this review...

hi Dave Taylor again and this time I'm
0:07
looking at the charge tech thin charge
0:09
iPhone 6 or success case and that's this
0:13
guy in it's very elegant little box
0:15
definitely Apple store friendly open it
0:18
up and here's the case and I want to
0:21
point out the charging the little
0:23
Lightning charging connectors right
0:24
there on the bottom of the case and the
0:26
case itself is very small and it's very
0:29
light spouts I think um some small
0:32
number of ounces it's it's really not
0:35
much heavier than just a regular case
0:37
it's nice and durable has a rubberized
0:40
finished and of course let's talk about
0:42
charging so to do that you pop the top
0:45
off and then I'll just slide my phone in
0:49
and I can put the top right back on
0:52
which only takes a moment or two
0:55
assuming I get everything lined up
0:57
properly
0:57
let's see mmm
1:01
or it could take hours if I do it wrong
1:04
well let's get this to work there we go
1:07
so now we have this very nice elegant
1:09
black case for my white iPhone and
1:12
here's one thing that's weird is because
1:15
the Lightning connector in the case is
1:16
on the bottom the charging plug is
1:19
actually on the top so let me just show
1:20
you by plugging in a lightning cable and
1:23
one thing that happens when I plug in
1:25
the lightning cable is the charging
1:27
device says oh you're charging well I do
1:30
pass-through charging so the first thing
1:32
I'm going to do is I'm gonna let your
1:33
phone charge off of the cord so at this
1:36
moment in time my phone is actually
1:38
charging because the of the case so
1:42
unplug this and you can see there's the
1:45
connector on the top I'll just push that
1:47
back in and the way you actually work
1:51
with the charging case with the thin
1:53
charge is through the plus and minus
1:55
buttons the volume buttons so right now
1:58
it's now not charging but if I hold the
2:01
plus button for a couple seconds
2:05
now it is charging so pretty cool
2:08
actually and let's talk about battery
2:10
capacity so the iPhone 6 shipped with an
2:16
1810 milliamp hour battery the iPhone 6s
2:20
ready for this it actually shipped with
2:22
a smaller battery the 6s which is what
2:25
this phone is has a 1715 milliamp hour
2:28
battery so Apple actually time kind of
2:30
stepped back a little bit now what
2:32
they've said is that they've made it
2:33
more battery efficient so should have
2:35
the same lifespan but let's talk about
2:38
the thin charge because this adds an
2:39
additional 2600 milliamp hour battery so
2:43
what that means is that this is like 1.4
2:46
times extra battery so this is as if you
2:50
had one of those Android phones where
2:52
you could pop out your tired battery and
2:55
put in a new one here it's all just
2:57
tightly integrated into the system so
2:59
it's very nice so this gives you at
3:01
least two times your phone's lifespan on
3:04
a very thin case now you might be asking
3:07
yourself ok so 100 bucks 200 bucks
3:10
that's about the going rate for these
3:12
sort of charging cases well charge tag
3:15
has a sort of little puzzling pricing
3:18
strategy so they're suggested retail and
3:21
this case comes in black white and gold
3:24
but they're suggested retails a hundred
3:26
and thirty dollars but on their website
3:29
they actually sell these cases for $85
3:31
however just before I actually made this
3:34
video I went on their website and
3:35
they're running a promo and so the case
3:37
is actually only 4495 so I would
3:41
encourage you go to charge tech comm if
3:43
you need a charging case for your iPhone
3:46
6 or iphone 6s
3:48
pick up one of these these are really
3:50
nice it's very well designed it's very
3:52
simple to work with once you realize a
3:55
you charge from the top took me a while
3:58
to figure that out and be that the plus
4:01
and minus buttons are the ones that
4:03
actually give you the control over
4:04
turning on and off the battery as a way
4:06
to charge your phone again and where I
4:09
find these super useful is when I just
4:10
know that I'm gonna be away from a
4:12
charging device for the entire day I'm
4:14
at a sporting event I'm on a
4:16
hike or more commonly I'm at a trade
4:19
show or something and I can tell you a
4:21
modern trade shows those wall plugs are
4:23
premium premium objects so having a
4:27
phone case that actually can also charge
4:29
your phone when it's getting low super
4:31
helpful so this is Dave Taylor this is
4:34
the charge tech thin charge iPhone 6 or
4:38
iPhone 6s battery case and depending on
4:41
color and depending on how quickly you
4:43
can get to their website it ranges
4:45
anywhere from a hundred and thirty
4:48
dollars down to $44.95 so there's some
4:51
motivation for you anyway I'll catch you
4:53
in my next video
