You'd be surprised.

The fanboys are saying what a terrific design it is, since the cover has the gap at the top and bottom you can hold the phone without feeling like it has a cover on. And that the hump is a nice place to rest against your finger as support.

Fanboyism has no limits.

Well just by looking at the pics one can easily see how terrific a design it is. Much better than the other Mophie Juice ones etc.

The above video review sums it up.

Not that I'd buy one, 6/6s battery life is superb.

I went and had a look at it in an Apple Store, it looks much better in reality, the bump is pretty subtle, it's also much cleverer than other branded ones, it can even show each battery status (case and internal) on the iPhone screen.

Quite easy on and off as well, if I thought I needed one I would buy one, the look is fine, it's pricy though and I've just bought a 22400Mah battery pack so don't see the need for it. Still tempted though...

How much was it? After I had the 6+ I miss the epic battery life :(

I don't want to sound rude, but I've never paid for anything is this country using Pounds of Dollars...

You might not sound rude, but you do sound stupid, as I said in the post you quoted, I looked at it in an Apple Store, I doubt you have seen one of those in SA either?

I'm almost scared to say, and joking aside, but I think there is something seriously wrong with your phone. We can argue over little squiggles or lines that may or may not be squint, but don't you think you are producing some serious distortions like no-one else?

I've tested against my colleague's 6. Distortion is on par with the 6 (as well as the low noise filter effect). We've also seen distortion with your 6s where objects to the sides are warped. Your horizons are also skew/rounded like mine.

So I'm not convinced. It very much depends what's in the picture as to how bad the distortion is.

No, sorry. I completely disagree. I have not seen even the slightest distortion on any 6s photograph from any phone apart from yours. There may be some debate over the odd pic from 1/100 here and there, but even then it's very subjective. But on your phone it's screamingly obvious.

If I was you, I'd take it back. My phone is nothing like yours.

From your link, the verdict on page 8 says..

The images are also free of distortion

So why are yours distorted when no one else are?

OK, when I have an opportunity to test with another 6s I'll feedback.

That phone is ****ed.

Crazy. First time trying tonight taking pics of lights etc. That huge rounded flare on the left would explain why things on the left are so distorted for me. Will still try another 6s...

First one with a dead pixel, second one likely with a ****ed lens. Sigh. Wonder how long a new one will take. Maybe I'll PM Okie for help...

First one was an out of box failure and took 8 days just to get a new one.

Thankfully still got my 5s 64GB.
