Case maker LifeProof on Thursday launched preorders for the Fre Power, a new battery case for the iPhone 6 also designed to be rugged and waterproof.
sports a 2,600 milliamp-hour supply, said to double an iPhone's normal battery life. Charging is activated with a button, and should stop automatically once an iPhone is topped off. LED lights on the back indicate the case's remaining power in quarter increments.
Through design features like a built-in port covers, a screen protector, and anti-reflective glass over the camera lens, the case is waterproof to a depth of 6.6 feet, and should likewise block dirt and snow. It's built to resist drops on land up to the same height.
The case can be recharged through a micro USB port. Notably, LifeProof says an iPhone can be synced through the same port, eliminating the need to take the case off.
The Fre Power costs $130, and is currently expected to ship in June. Black, blue, and white/gray versions are available.
