Keep your phone going for days!, This review is from: Samsung Galaxy S6 Battery Case, QCell 4000mAh Battery Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 [180 days QCell Warranty Guarantee]-Black (4000mAh-Black) (Wireless Phone Accessory)
This is a fantastic product if you want to keep your phone going for a long time without carrying extra gear. I have an external battery, but when you're on the go, it's really nice to not have to have cords going to different devices. The last time I traveled by air, I had to keep an external battery on one pocket with a micro-usb cable which got tangled up with my headphones. Now, I will be able to just use this battery case and my headphones and I should be good all day, even if I spend hours playing games or listening to podcasts.
The only thing is, it's not something you want to keep on your phone all the time. It adds significant bulk to the S6, and doesn't allow for charging the phone directly from a wall charger, so you really want to keep this charged separately and throw your phone in it when you're ready to go on an excursion. Knowing your phone has a whole extra charge more than normal is really nice though, and so sometimes it's worth the extra weight/bulk. This battery pack has a very clever mechanism for holding onto the phone: it uses a two piece configuration. This is nice once you get it installed, but it takes a lot of effort to take the phone out and put the case back on, which is not ideal for a battery case, especially. It also has a very simple power button and LED battery level indicator so using this battery case is very easy. I also found that not all headphones fit in the hole in the case, especially if they have an "L" shape, they won't go in far enough. The standard earbuds provided by Samsung work without issue though.
Obviously, with this on your phone, NFC (Android/Samsung Pay) and wireless charging will not work, so that's also part of the trade off.
QCell was kind enough to provide me with a discount on this battery case so that I could try it out and provide an informed review.
