LifeProof unveils the tough FRE Power case that'll double your iPhone 6s Plus battery life

LifeProof has unveiled the FRE Power waterbroof case at CES 2016 for the iPhone 6s Plus, enabling those with super-sized mobile devices to better protect their investments. Not only does the case protect the iPhone contained inside, but there's an additional source of power with the built-in battery pack. And to top it all off, there's no massive hump like there is on Apple's official accessory.

Since this is indeed a waterproof case we're looking at here, there's an IP-68 rating against water and dirt, allowing the case to withstand being submerged by up to 6.6 feet for an hour. Then there's the optional glass cover camera lens, and even a built-in screen protector that should let you use the iPhone display as normal. Did we mention the 3200mAh battery? That's included too.

The FRE Power will be available soon for $149.99 on LifeProof's official website and at select retailers. Are you interested in wrapping this durable case around your iPhone?
