Just in time for the holidays, Apple has released an official Smart Battery Case for the iPhone 6s. Notably, rather than gradually increasing the thickness of the case to accommodate the battery, Apple decided to design the case with a large rectangular bump.
The Smart Battery Case is engineered specifically for iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 to give you even longer battery life and protection. The soft microfiber lining on the inside helps protect your iPhone, while the soft elastomer hinge design makes it easy to put the case on and take it off again. On the outside, the silky, soft-touch finish of the silicone exterior feels great in your hand.
The case lets you charge your iPhone and battery case simultaneously. When used it gives you up to 25 hours of talk time, 18 hours on LTE, and up to 20 hours of audio and video playback. The battery status is intelligently displayed on the iPhone's lock screen and in notification center, letting you see how much charge is left.
You can purchase the case in white or Charcoal Gray for $99 from the link below. Let us know what you think of its design in the comments...

Hate the look. For a company with so much invested in its look they could have done far better.

I painted the 6s I owned to resemble the 5s. Antennas aren't really an issue though since there's no real problem or broken anything, but to be clear, I use ampy that gives me charge as long as you move. It's like having infinite charge power.

Wishing that they make one for iPhone 6 Plus. That would be awesome. However, this design is great.

This is good I'd give it a 9 because the design into too bad unless that much far in fron if the camera would be in the way on the edges of the lens from its field of view.

What did you say ?

It's hard to describe the camera part. What I'm trying to say is that the field of view the camera has, if the case sticks out in front of it enough, it will make less room for it. Think of it like being almost off the flashlights sight of where the light flashes. If you still don't know what I mean, then I'll make a visual of it.

Not a failure. Has silicon lip that protects the front. I didn't expect a screen protector.

Good design. When you hold it, the battery portion is supposed to fit into the gap of your hand's palm so it doesn't feel so thick.

I think it is expensive, Apple should make the internal battery last longer instead.
