Even most of your average Apple fanboys don't like the new case. Yet Grover still manages to find ways to defend Apple in a very lengthy argument that can basically be summarized as: battery cases are traditionally ugly, so Apple isn't any worse than the competition.

As for power users needing battery banks/cases; I don't know what is construed as power usage, but my iPhone 6 can't last a full day away from the charger. It last as long about long as the iPhone 4 it replaced.

Yeah, in a "typical" weekday where I go from plugging my phone at home to plugging it in at work and back to plugging it in at home the phone has "good" battery life. But on the weekends where I spend all day outside, it dies before the end of the day unless I carry a battery bank.

I'm curious how old it is. Mine was plugged in overnight Thursday. I got up around 5:45 Friday, worked all day, and then went to a Christmas party where I stayed the night (no charger with me). The first time it had a chance to charge was Saturday afternoon, and it was still around 30% or so.
