Nice one mate, thanks! How high would you estimate the lip of the case rises above the iPhone screen?

That looks like a knockoff to me, sorry. How do I know this? Because I too bought a knockoff, and could clearly see the difference when I bought a real one.
Speck says to hold the case with the back toward you, put both thumbs on the little asterisk logo on the back, and use your fingertips to pull back on the lips of the case's sides while simultaneously pushing out on the asterisk. I've found (at least on my previous Candyshells--don't have one yet for my 6 Plus) that it's just as easy to put a thumb in the camera cutout and while pushing there, pull back gently on the lip of the case, so you're kind of popping it out. I usually get one corner loose and then slide a fingernail or finger inside that gap and work my way down the side until a whole side is loose. I hope that makes sense or you can picture what I'm talking about!
Any chance you could post a pick of the bottom of the case? I heard there is no plastic around the charging port at the top, just rubber.
This video clearly shows that around 3 min in:

That makes perfect sense! Thanks, I'll try that next time! For now, I'm just leaving it be.
Yeah colors are that great, maybe the black/gray but it look to give extra drop and screen protection.
Really would like to get a Candyshell grip for the 6 Plus but Speck keeps saying "soon". I don't get why Speck and other case makers have plenty of 6 cases out but nothing for the 6 Plus.
May be due to the bend-gate issues. The candy shell grip is just a .mm or 2 thinner than the regular cases. Had the white/black for my IP5 and loved it.
Speck now lists the 6 Plus cases online:

Yeah they've had them there since the beginning but nothing more than "leave your email address and we'll get back to you".
Weird, I added 2 to my cart earlier when I posted the link, so maybe they're getting ready!
No, we were all too slow. Per Speck's Twitter account: @willie_maykit not sure when they will be available in UK. some cases on US website now...stay tuned for local distributors.
The question they responded to was specifically about the plus model.
Thinking as more supply comes in the better our chances of getting an order in.
The speck candyshell and pixelHD have always been two of my favorites. Fantastic quality at their price point. Plus speck has always provided fantastic after sale service to me so i'll definitely grab a pixelHD case when they are out for the 6.
Hopefully since Speck was able to release a few of the 6 Plus cases for sale briefly yesterday it means that they will be readily available real soon. I have a $5 Best Buy coupon so hopefully they are in stock there real soon.
6Plus models are on BestBuy.com now as coming soon. Wasn't there last week I don't believe. Thinking they hit stores this week or next.
I can only assume its due to the Plus being much bigger so the Grip makes more sense in this case.WHY DOESNT SPECK HAVE ANY REGULAR CANDYSHELL COLORS FOR THE PLUS?!
Its really annoying. I've used a black candyshell for all my iphones and for some reason speck doesnt have one for the +, only the regular 6.
