Not particularly, no. My wife had the battery case on her iPhone 6S, and while she is kind of hard on her phones, she's not negligent with them. The thing does not take drops or dings very well, and ended up not working properly to the point where she had to have it replaced twice, and on the 3rd one, when it began to have the same issues, she just took it back and (thankfully) got a refund from Apple on it. The material the last generation battery case was made of was not very durable from her experience, and it would cause charging issues many times (sometimes the case would charge but not the phone, sometimes neither would charge at all but would show a charging icon on the screen).
I wouldn't buy the case even if it was available for the Plus, and like others have reported, I've really never needed the extra battery life on most days.
