Accessory maker mophie is looking to slim down its popular line of battery cases for iPhone 6. Not in the number of offerings but the the physical size of the device in exchange for small battery capacities. The new juice pack reserve was announced today and it’s sporting the most “compact” design to date that we have seen from mophie. On top of that, two new external power banks are also hitting the streets today with coordinating colors across both product lines.
The new mophie juice pack reserve will sport a built-in 1840mAh rechargeable battery that will provide up to eight additional hours of talk time and six hours of web browsing on an iPhone 6. A slimmer design is a welcome addition to a line-up that featured more physically robust offerings like the juice pack plus. Unfortunately, a byproduct of this is a significant decrease in battery size upwards of 45%.
Additional features include a “high-impact” protection system, built-in LED power level lights and mophie’s Priority+ charging system. This new battery case is available in five colors: black, white, blue, purple, and pink with a retail price of $59.95. It can be pre-ordered today, direct from mophie.

Along with the battery case, mophie is launching a new family of external battery packs for keeping your smartphones and tablet charged up while you are out on the road. First up is the power reserve 1X with 2600mAh of power. Unfortunately, this model is only capable of pumping out 1.8A of power which isn’t going to charge your iPhone or iPad at full speed.
The larger power reserve 2X packs 6000mAh of juice and is capable of 2.1A output, which will handle the previously mentioned charging speeds at peak levels. This larger model will add up to 20 hours of web browsing to your iPhone.
Both models are available today for pre-order direct from Mophie for $34.95 and $49.95 respectively in the same five colors as the juice pack reserve. If you’re willing to skip on the colors combinations, you can get more power for less money with other third-party options. For example, this Lumsing 8000mAh option is just $11 Prime shipped with code 7YX4ETWN or the smaller 3000mAh Aukey lipstick-style battery can be had for $5.99 Prime shipped.
