And looks like the Apple case
The silicone version I also got from the link in the OP (scroll down in the list of options). The silicone version does not fit the 6S+ correctly, and I would only recommend it for the normal 6+ (edit: pic).
(lower left and right corners the case does not overlap the screen)
After that the only problems with the silicone version are in certain aspects of the build quality. Unlike the leather version the lens opening is perfect on this one. Only noticeable problem is some of the finishing (overall material feel is like you would expect from silicone), but those things will not affect protection in daily use.

I bought from a different seller and want to know if it will be the same before opening
Ordered both the leather and silicon versions in red which I received this afternoon.
Just like the OP I'm really surprised at the quality of the leather version which looks and feels premium out of the box (more like $20+ instead of $6). And was relieved to find out that this clone actually fits my 6S+ better (seems somewhat thicker) than the original black leather 6+ case that I have owned since release last year.
Only complaint is that the camera hole doesn't center precisely and presses against the lower corner of the space gray ring. (edit) Also found out that some of the red chipped off near the inner corners when removing the case a couple of times to reveal a black layer. Not sure if the outer layer is entirely made out of leather..
Not that impressed by the silicon version though. Barely fits my 6S+, both lower corners don't cover the entire screen border and the aluminium is slightly visible. Build quality is also a lot less (even when this version was more expensive). It has a hole in the silicon near the mute switch (third pic) and when I pulled my phone out of it, it leaves slight glue residue on my phone from where the felt layer doesn't reach the silicon edges entirely (last pic).
The black's buttons are easier to push than the original Apple case for me. I used a sharpie to touch up a little nick I had. For less than $6, it's pretty nice.
After seeing this thread I ordered one which I received today. It fits the 6s plus well and looks okay for a $6 fake. The only problem is that it stinks. It had a very strong chemical smell which gave me a headache. Needless to say I already took it off put it back in the box and wrapped it in a plastic bag
The smell is typical of PU leather. Leaving in plastic bag will continue to have the smell. Best to let it air out for a few days and it will be fine.
The packaging is an exact replica of the real packaging that comes with the original case.
Always wanted the red version of the leather case, but was too scared of it looking like trash after a couple of months. Don't get me wrong, I will use this case till it wears out and don't really care when because of the great price.

Ok I got my 2 silicone cases today , they look good but they don't fit the iPhone 6s Plus
Like the guy above said , the camera hole goes around the black ring on the iPhone camera very close if not on top of the lens
It just doesn't fit right
Don't buy any silicone apple lookalike cases from any seller , they will be the same
Does the original Apple silicone case for iPhone 6 Plus fit the 6s plus ?
I had the same problem with the knock off silicone cases to fit an 6s plus. Solution: tear off the interior lining of the case and they should fit the 6s series fine. Beware that doing this will rip off the black interior plastic lining of the camera cut out.
I got my red replica leather today. Figment is tighter than an apple case on my 6S+. The material is pretty nice as is the interior felt. The black camera ring is partially separated from the leather on top and the mute switch cutout isn't centered on the switch but it still works and is accessible. I'd say "meh" for $6.
I realize that and I know PU leather can have an odor but this was extreme. I smelled it from across the room. I may put it out on my balcony for a couple days to see if that helps.
I received my brown case today and have the same feeling. I immediately noticed how "sharp" the black plastic around the lens is and how it's not centered. I guess I can't complain for $6.
It's hit or miss on the PU smell. I got the black and brown, no smell. Let it gas out and it will be fine.
Ha. Picky one aren't you.
It's 15% of the retail price for the 6 and 12% of the 6S Plus.
FYI, there are other sellers selling what looks to be the same case in OP.

I think the top one might be a little more expensive when going with the plus, but both ship from within the US, if you're like me and don't want to wait for it to come from China.

I got a green silicone and a brown leather and I think they are junk! Neither fit right and the bottoms have to be like forced onto the phone. The camera doesn't line up properly either. Also on the brown one the apple logo isn't even centered lmao. My white silicone is 10x better from Apple. But, I did order another green and brown from a seller on aliexpress, BUT these ones cover the bottom and aren't trying to be Apple knockoffs. They are made by a company called Duzhi. I'll let you know it those are better.
I received the black silicone case from eBay link in the OP post. Fit is good, everything lines up on the 6s. However the power button is not responsive, takes several clicks (at a specific angle) to activate. The inside lining is beginning to separate near silent switch opening after removing once. The feel is nice, no sharp edges. Overall, a so-so deal for $8
I got my 6s plus leather case today blue ,from the op
It fits better then the silicone cases I got from eBay
But still tight , and the camera almost touches the lens
But I like the feel of the leather , I had the official Apple leather case and returned it because I didn't like how the leather felt
This one I like , is not slippery
For $6 I'm happy with it
Now is there a case identical to this but with the bottom covered ?
