Among a number of new Lightning-connected iPhone 6 battery cases unveiled at CES this week, AppleInsider found a more affordable option in uNu's lineup, which starts at $59.99 for the company's forthcoming extended battery case.
Ensconced in glossy polycarbonate, the 2,400mAh uNu was on the show floor Tuesday, the company said the accessory is set to ship by the end of January at a $60 price that undercuts the competition. For example, Mophie's slightly larger 2,750mAh Juice Pack Air carries a price of $99.95.
In addition, uNu's products are "Made for iPhone" certified, meaning future iOS versions won't break compatibility, a problem seen in other products. The new 2,400mAh DX-Free was shown at CES in four colors: black, grey, red and blue.
Also on display was a 3,000mAh model of uNu's DX-6 Protective Battery Case for iPhone 6. Available in black, white and red, it's available now for $79.99. by comparison, Mophie's high-capacity Juice Pack Plus, with a larger 3,300mAh battery, costs $119.95.

If the power connector is the flimsy micro-USB, I will not even waste my money on it. I went through a couple Mophie cases in a few month (in warranty) because over time, that connector kept breaking. It's a weak design. Make it a lightning connector, and you may get my business.

But...but..."standards"!
It looks too bulky, IMO. I now have the Apple leather case for my 6 and love it, because it still feels thin but provides grip and protection.
I find i go 2 days on iP6+ between charges , no need for a battery case at all
i've had an uNu case for my venerable 4S for a while, been quite happy with it.
Somebody help me out. I need a point of reference. What is the mAh capacity of the batteries in an iPhone 6 and 6+?
