Accessories Extended battery and SD card for the S6.

This may be a game changer for me. I had resigned myself to keeping my S4(32Gig) with a 32Gig SD card. I have pictures galore, including some video. And not a few game apps as well. So storage is a concern of mine. The S6's lack of SD made me really think. The 128 Gig version was a bit pricey, the 64 was going to be my limit.

Now it may look a bit better:
The storage issue is gone, the battery issue is pretty much gone.

Now for the size issue:
My S4 with a Caseology case measures 139 x 73 x 13 (mm)
My "other half's" S6 with case measures 149 x 78 x 13 (mm)
The IPhone 6 Plus no case measures 158 x 77 x 7.1 (mm)
The Incipio case for the S6 measures 156 x 76 x 15 (mm)

So basically, comparing Apples to Galaxies (humor intended), this new case for an S6 makes it the same height/width as an I6+, and only 2mm thicker than what I'm used to with my S4 and the S6. Height is the only big difference adding about 7mm to the S6, but that's not so bad a tradeoff for a huge battery and an SD slot.
I have big hands and carry my phone in my back pocket (lots of room there), so the 7mm is not a problem.

I can see this for travelers who are gamers and movie buffs.

I'm holding out on reviews of how users like the switch between battery and SD, but I'll keep my eye on this one...
 
I don't really need the memory expansion because I have the 128 gig version but more battery life may make this a winner. The S6 has by far the worst battery life of any high end smartphone on the market. Fast charging and wireless charging don't come close to making up for such atrocious screen time.
 
been tossing up the idea of the GS6 with some sort of battery case like that.. but with the LG G4, I guess, why go through all that when the LG does it without jumping through hoops...

still dont understand why Samsung re-invented the Iphone.

Holding out on a new phone ( Am due for a new one) but can't get myself to get a GS6 without the replaceable battery. But if that case is half as decent as it appears, I would buy it if I had a 6
 
I stumbled upon this post while I was looking for a battery case, and wondering if it will worth my money.
Not sure if you bought the Incipio case yet or know this, but it's cheaper now on Amazon and Ebay.
If you or anyone tried this case, can someone leave a review please?
My thanks ahead;)

The Incipio one does look the best because it has the Micro SD card slot. You could almost say it justify the price. Especially when the one from Mophie is $93+(as far as I can find). From the review provided by sidewinderz33, and from what I have researched, Mophie seems to have a name for making battery cases. Of course, there are cheaper ones from various other brands. However, I am a kind of person who would pay an extra money for a better quality, and I would buy the Incipio one at the end.
