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.

Make it a lightning connector, and you may get my business.
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.

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.
