Speck Cases just emailed me and they've got 6+ stock!

Mine is perfect. The button presses are phenomenal and it's not at all crooked or has any gaps. Hopefully my eyes aren't playing tricks on me.
So yours doesn't look like this at all? If it doesn't I should check out my local Best Buy and pick up a white one and return the Black back to Speck.
Exactly the case I want. Best Buy online says coming soon for these cases. I guess I'll have to go in the store with my fingers crossed.
Can you post a couple of pics? Does it help with the grip of the phone?
I have been waiting and hounding Speck via Twitter for these cases to come out. I had one on my 6 before I changed to the 6+. I simply love how this case is hard enough from the plastic and a little grippy along with the drop and bend protection I was looking for that I felt the other cases weren't giving me.
This is the Best Buy blue edition.
It also appears that I can't attach multiple pics to my post so I will have to make extra posts... Don't kill me.

Wow! It does look like that. But when I put the phone in it its straight.

Yes, the grip does help. I'll try to post pics tonight.
Since I am returning my defender (too much of a bear to carry around) I might have to run over to Best Buy and/or target today to take a look at this one
I just returned from Target and picked up the white/black Grip for the plus. They had a few colors in stock.
This case makes this phone much easier to hold. It feels much more secure in the hand now.

Yeah same here, deformed without the phone in but looks fine when I put the phone in. Just the middle bows out a little and the phone doesn't sit flat on a table, it wobbles at the top and bottom. I'm debating on waiting for Speck to send me a replacement or head down to Best Buy and see if they have better stock.
I guess with the spinning issues of the regular 6 4.7" cases, we should have expected these to have some kind of issue.
Does the gloss part scratch easily? I've always liked the candyshell except for how easily they scratch.
It seems to be the same material as the other candyshells that I've had, if that helps. But with this one, the grippy ridges on the back will probably keep the glossy part from making as much contact when you put it down, so maybe that means less scratches?
Just got the black/gray grip at target. Really impressed. Great fit and ridiculously thin. However it has the lip I want.
I understand, it definitely is not the most attractive case. I am looking for decent protection, a good lip, a small camera hole, and a good grip.
this fit the bill

FYI, Best Buy's website now lists the Candyshell Grip as in stock for shipping and in store pickup.
I might head down there in a few days and see if they have the black/blue exclusive in stock and see if it has any defects.

Returning mine within a day or so back to target. 2 days of use and it is scratched beyond belief. For my wife to set it looks terrible, that says a lot. Going back to my pelican for now and rethinking the Thule.
