Prong PWR iPhone 6s Case Review

We’ve reviewed many iPhone 6s cases, including battery cases, but Prong PWR The iPhone 6s battery case is a battery case that adds a unique feature that makes charging the case really fast and easy.

A big problem with the iPhone is that its battery doesn’t last as long as most users would like, and many accessory manufacturers have found options to fix this, including iPhone cases with built-in batteries that extend the battery. iPhone’s lifespan without having to plug it in to charge.

Of course, these cases add a significant amount of thickness, but if you want better battery life, this is the tradeoff for you.

However, these battery cases, most of which require a microUSB cable, need to be recharged; this one you may not get around if you are a die hard Apple user.

Fortunately, the $100 Prong PWR case for the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 doesn’t need a cable at all to charge its internal battery, as it has a wall socket built into the case.

Prong has been around for several years, first starting as a Kickstarter campaign They introduced the PocketPlug, which is nothing more than an iPhone case with a built-in plug that charges your iPhone without cables and adapters. Now the company has the PWR case similar to the PocketPlug, but comes with a built-in battery to give your iPhone a little extra power on the go.

The PWR case comes in two pieces. There’s a low-profile silicone bumper case similar to other iPhone cases, followed by the battery and plug part where your iPhone can slide in easily. The case is made to work perfectly with the other half of the pack, and when it’s all connected, it looks like one big iPhone case.

The unique feature of the battery case is that it comes with an integrated output plug that you can plug directly into any wall socket; this means you don’t need any cables or adapters to charge the box or your iPhone. The two prongs lie flat on the back of the case but can be easily flipped and locked parallel to each other so you can install them.

The case also comes with a microUSB port, which can sometimes be necessary (like in a car without an outlet) if you prefer to charge the old-fashioned way with a cable and wall adapter. There’s also a slot where the headphone jack goes, and the case comes with a headphone jack extender if your headphone cable can’t be inserted that deep with the case open.

The included battery is a 2,600mAh battery which is enough to fully charge your iPhone when it dies and then a little more. It also charges your iPhone pretty quickly. It took about an hour to go from 15% to 100%, which isn’t too bad.

However, it takes a little longer to charge the battery case itself. In my case, it took about twice as long to recharge to 100% after dying. The great thing is that you can see how much juice is left in the case by pressing the button on the bottom of the case; this will illuminate four small LEDs if the battery is full or close to full, and when one LED is lit, one LED will light up. Low battery.

I really like the whole toggle setup where the PWR case continues. The thinner silicone case makes it easier to use your iPhone if you don’t want to drag the whole case around with you, and it takes literally two seconds to get in and out of the battery case. Most other battery cases don’t make it that easy.

However, the silicone case leaves a lot to be desired. It’s really not that well designed and it doesn’t look that great. There are also some pretty big gaps where the port holes are, but luckily the case is pretty good on the iPhone.

The back of the silicone case has a clear plastic backing that doesn’t feel all that great when holding my iPhone, and the relatively sharp edges of the case make it a bit uncomfortable to hold in the first place.

The entire combination case is also really thick. It’s much thicker than Incipio’s OffGrid Express, which has a larger 3,000mAh battery inside. It’s possible that the PWR case is thicker due to the additional circuitry required for the internal output plug, and that makes sense, but it’s definitely something to be aware of.

Overall, the Prong PWR is a neat little battery case with unique features. It’s easy to slide in and out and you don’t need to mess with any cables or wall adapters. It’s also competitively priced, so you really don’t need to pay extra for these features.

However, its added thickness makes it a tank to carry around, and the accompanying silicone case is nothing to write about.

Finally, if you really hate cables and wall adapters, or love the idea of ​​being able to easily remove the battery case whenever you want, I’d say the Prong PWR is definitely an iPhone case to consider.
