I am on my phone over 2500 minutes a month not including the many texts and online surfing. This is an amazing product and at the end of the day my I phone usually has more then 25% charge. I had a competitors similar product on my I phone 5 and it was ok. This product is far superior.
The box is great, feels well made and not cheap in your hand. My only two drawbacks is the outside connecter is a minibus where I feel it should have been the same as the Apple connection since my phone is an iPhone 6. The other one is there is no glass protection, however I solved that and bought a nice glass protector. I feel that should come with the box.
Aside from that it's great,mshe battery life is awesome. If it weren't for those two drawbacks I would have givin it 5 stars across the board.
I really like this case, it allows me not to have to charge my phone as often and provides that extra boost when I am low on battery. The quality is good and similar to other OtterBox cases I've had. I wish the backing had more of a non-slip back for when I am holding the phone but other than that, I highly recommend the case.
This case looks nice in red, but that's about the only pro that I can comment on. It is extremely heavy. So heavy that it's pulls my scrub pants down when worn in my pants pocket. It also gets hot, so hot that I felt the heat on my skin through my pants pocket and did not cool off until I took the case off. Last but not least, it actually DECREASED my battery time. The charge from the case lasted only a few hours. Without the case, I recharge once a day, at night.
Pros: gook looking in red
Cons: gets hot, decreased battery charge, extremely heavy
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi ToniRN,
So sorry to hear that you found the OtterBox Resurgence case disappointing. That extra battery power does add some weight as you said, which we suppose is the trade-off. The amount of heat that you were experiencing, along with the decrease in battery time are both issues that are definitely worth looking into, however. Please feel free to give us a call at 1-855-688-7269, and we can get you in touch with a member of the Resurgence team to see what can be done to help you out with these things.
I was a big fan of another brand after using their box on my 4s, but was disappointed by their battery case for the 6, so I switched back to Otterbox. While the battery doesn't appear to last as long as the other brand's box, I feel like the Otterbox provides more protection than the other brand, which was just unacceptable. However, I don't like having to manually charge the battery on my phone with my Otterbox case by pressing the button. The other brand allows you the option to keep your phone topped off with their battery as long as the battery has power to give. I'd rather cycle and discharge my cell phone case battery than my cell phone's battery.
I don't think the 6 by itself delivers well on longer battery life promised and I still find myself chasing chargers during the day with the Otterbox. There are now other options that offer longer battery life, even though the case is thicker. I'd likely opt for those, if I had it to do over again.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Well worth the money. Makes the iPone 6 very durable. Definitely adds some size and weight to the phone, but has a raised lip over the screen to keep it from cracking upon a drop (which I did twice without the case). The true draw is the ability to re-charge your phone when away from a cord - life saver!
