Some things I'll be considering RE: folio/wallet type cases for my iPhone 6 Plus
I've had the opportunity to try a couple of wallet/folio type cases now that I've had my 6 Plus for few weeks now and I know what I am looking for with this type of case.
These are the first I've tried for any of my previous iPhones and I must say I don't now why I never tied then before. They are really sharp looking, without doubt, even the leather substitute version look nice. One thing I didn't think I would like (because it looked so gimmicky) but found very useful was the cover flap window that was on my Pasonomi case that I really wish my Kavaj and Boriyuan had. I found it so handy that I searched for a real leather version that actually has a top and bottom window (so waiting for yet another case...)
I really liked the built in TPU case of the Pasonomi compared to the Boriyuan which has a leather envelope (thumbs up for this and very ingenious!) for securing he phone, but I find it is not as sturdy feeling when I go to press the sleep button as with a solid TPU frame. The Boriyuan does have a great look and that awesome real leather feel.
I also like the magnetic closure that the Boriyuan has and I find myself more and more wishing Apple or anyone would make a iPhone 6 cover like their iPad covers that wake and sleep the device when opening and closing the cover. One thing about real leather: if not tooled properly or not cut large enough leather around the buttons can make for a poor experience when accessing those functions.
I am very hesitant to get a wallet folio that has pockets that would be against the screen of my phone. In my experiences with my iPad and MBP the screens can get impressions transferred onto them from constant rubbing, so I always try to get the pockets on the outside of the folio or will just not use them to avoid the possibility of this happening.
Speaker holes in the case cover...very handy and I don't like having to fold over the cover to talk on my phone.
Just my early impressions with this type of case and hope I can find the right balance eventually...
