Start Posting Pics Of Cases With iPhone 6's In Them Already

There you go, there are lots of people (e.g. construction workers, tradesmen) who required cases like Otterbox. But have you seen anyone driving on public roads wearing a helmet and a firesuit? No. So your example is ridiculous.

Like I said, if you dig ditches for a living an Otterbox might make sense, but so too would an Android or an iPhone 5S. The iPhone 6 is a very dainty piece of technology. Trying to make Clark Kent into Superman only takes place in comic books.

Have you actually read what I posted earlier? I said something like an ACCIDENT can happen to anyone. You don't have to be abusive towards your iPhone for something to hit the phone. For example you could just be holding your iPhone when you suddenly swing around, the bottom part of the phone hit the edge of a table.

Well, your iPhone 6 in an Otterbox could slip out of your hands and under the wheels of a bus and crushed beyond all repair. So it's best if you skip the cellphone thing altogether, perhaps try a carrier pigeon.

In that scenario, a case which covers the bottom of the iPhone will provide more protection than a case without.

So what? I'd just buy a new one. It's not like they're expensive.

Edfoo, I do believe you may be missing the point of a case for a high-power businessman like BJ. As an astonishingly successful man - a gentleman, if you will - he treats his possessions with only the utmost care. Such a man uses a case not for protection but to flaunt his success and most importantly, to differentiate his iPhone from those of the masses of clumsy and stupid oafs who can barely afford, much less care for one.

You see, while people like us may need cases in case of accidents, he needs no case at all. As such, his case is an implicit statement of his impeccable taste and to the keen observer conveys his superlative appreciation for the very finest this world has to offer in the realms of technology, fashion, and culture. What of the millions of plebs who use identical cases on their identical iPhones? In this case, it is the man who makes the case, and oh what a singular man indeed!

glad you enjoyed them. It pissed some others off not sure why. I love the shot above as it's a really interesting angle showing how slim, protective, and interesting the apple leather case is.

I just ordered the biggest, most expensive ipad available so i'll post up some more pictures of that, probably in front of the beach house or the trophy wife.

When did I ever mention we all need a case to make our iPhone indestructible? Stop going off the topic. We were talking about a case which covers most of the bottom part of an iPhone vs a case which has big gap, which one will provide more protection to the phone's bottom part? Guess.

Again, I never say those big bulky cases will make your iPhone indestructible. Again I was just talking about cases provide protection for the bottom part of the phone. If you say Apple case is all one need to provide protection because you are very careful with your phone, then I could also ask you why not just go naked with your iPhone? Since you are so careful, you shouldn't need any case at all.

Good for you that you are so rich you can go buy infinite number of iPhones. Do you want me to give you an award now for being so rich?

Cheap, free Androids are designed to be abused. Expensive, pricey iPhone 6's are designed to be treated with respect. Next time you come to visit me in one of my several homes my manservant won't serve you Merlot in a plastic cup because I suspect you know how to treat Lalique crystal.

So you're saying that out of the 100 cases that currently exist for the iPhone 6 ones with open bottoms disappoint you and we should discuss that for three days. Can you draw some diagrams so we really get your point?

So you're saying if the sky is grey and people are using umbrellas and you're getting wet it's raining. Truly appreciate that.

It would be nice if someone was happy for my success here, yes, an award would be a proper gesture.

I got this new transparent gold case by Rock. It actually looks pretty nice on the Silver iPhone 6. I have a few pictures here of the case on a Silver dummy. Since I have a Space Gray phone the transparent gold doesn't look as nice over Space Gray because it looks more bronze.

Do you have any pictures of the gold case on the space gray phone? I'm curious about the bronze color you mention.

Thanks!

Exchanged my black leather Apple case for a white silicone one. Feels great and looks even better! Love it.

Geefiasco · Oct 30, 2014

Also had my Rock Ultrathin delivered from a UK eBay Store.

It was listed as 0.7mm (6 Plus). The cut outs make me think it's an old model? as they look a little big. The Rock logo is on the side, not the back.

It's a decent case. I prefer TPU over the hard plastic transparent cases, so I'll probably keep it as a secondary case.

I posted this yesterday but here's the Gold 6 with the midnight blue Apple leather case. Fits very snug, feels great in hand & has a little lip for when face down. Open bottom but the case extends beyond it a tad on the sides. Now to find a screen protector...

ITS SOO BEAUTIFUL ORDERED MY BLUE RIGHT NOW :apple:

Yes, this is what I have before I let it go. Transparent 0.6mm Rock on Space Gray iPhone 6.

How does the White silicone hold up in terms of grub/dirt?

I'm so tempted to get one for my white Plus.

Not a problem at all, I love it. Still white as day one. If it starts to get a little dirty (which it really doesn't), remove the phone, then carefully soap the silicone down and quickly rinse it off with water in the sink, clean with microfiber cloth, avoiding the interior felt. Pristine. Definitely go with this case! I typically go through and detail my MBA and Phone once a week or so, so I do this then, it is my favorite case I have ever had for any iPhone.

Not a fan of those cases, inevitably get microscratches all over and just look horrible. Really don't like them. And the feel of that hard clear plastic is just atrocious and so cheap. Would never buy that.

That Apple leather case is not worth $50. You can get nicer leather cases for less, or absolutely gorgeous leather cases for more. Honestly if I were a rich businessman looking to flaunt my success, I'd get 8 of the most expensive Vaja cases available and assign one to each day of the week, with one reserved for power summit lunches or trophy mistress trysts.

You need to think outside the box and do something with your iPhone beyond reach of the plebs.

Meh, looked over their site, while I appreciate the direction they are going, it isn't done quite right and the designs are not a 10/10. Wouldn't buy

I didn't like the smooth/glossy feel of the back of the Spiegen Air Cushion case, so I customized it today.

markswit · Oct 31, 2014

I'd feel like a plonker posting pictures with my Aston Martin keys, let alone BMW keys... But each to their own.

Appreciate the pictures of the cases though - I still cannot decide which I like!

Not interested to discuss anymore, fine but why bring this point up again?

Don't understand your statement there, so no I didn't say that.

If that monocozzi brown PU leather case, styled similarly to the apple one, were real leather, I'd have bought it . But I'm not paying $35 for fake leather. Wish Apple had released a more tan shade of leather than the deep brown they did.

Edit: Link for those wondering.

If anyone sees a real leather case that looks like this, please give me a shout!

Agree the brown they chose is so so ugly. I have been very happy with the Apple white silicone though.

You're manservant can just hand me the bottle in a paper bag, that's how I usually roll.

BTW, I'm a Pinot Noir man.

The nice thing about the Apple case is that it's compatible with docks and various attachments. It covers the corners so if the phone is dropped it will still hit the case, for whatever good it does. I don't view the Apple leather case as being useful to protect against anything but light scratches, but to each their own.

I'm really jealous how some of you guys got some nice looking cases right off the bat. I've purchsed the Apple leather and the Spigen, both I'm not liking very much but what can I do since I opened them. Have to give myself another few months before getting new ones! #
