Can anyone link a transparent film for the back of the device?
Something like Zagg for just the back. I do not see any available on their site.
Thanks very much
 
I feel like apple leather case makes it easier to hold/use one handed because it's not slippery anymore.
 
Spigen makes a case that is only .4mm thick. This is the same thickness as my invisibleshield glass screen protector. Look for the spigen aircase. It should offer minor drop protection (though clearly not much.) and it will provide protection from scratches. That's what I do. Use the case and a protector.
 
If you're particular about any aesthetic aspect of the phone being scratched or scruffed, just get a thin case and pop it on. I got a Spigen Bumper and used it with my iPhone 6 plus, which I put it on the moment I received it on launch day. Guess what... the shiny gold Apple logo at the back had a literal hairline scratch across it.

I'm someone really bothered by the aesthetics of my product, and I should've guessed this was coming. Still, does this change my love for the absolute gorgeous screen and battery life? Nope, it doesn't.

Just take this with a pinch of salt for anyone thinking about using it naked.
 
I cant agree more! I bought what I though was a Insignia soft shell case from best buy, it was good for the money but added too much bulk and it was a slim case to boot. So I ordered the Spigen Air Skin, clear for 11.99 off amazon and I am eagerly awaiting it :) love this phone naked, but I need a little protection and the .4 mm sounds perfect

Actually enjoying my Insignia case, probably won't order another one. Wanted to originally get the Spigen Neo Hybrid but held off after reading about the button pressing issues.
 
I used mine without a case over the weekend. It was slippery. If you have clammy hands, it may fair better. This thing is slick. I wasn't really afraid to use it for fear of dropping or anything, but I feared that people asking to hold it would, so I let them know it was slippery.

Putting a case on it helped it feel better to hold. This is aluminum folks.
 
It's a bit too thin by itself, for me.

With a minimalist case it's just about right.

I haven't yet found a minimalist case that is truly minimal. I even just got the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX and it added just enough width that I didn't like it.

For what it's worth, I added AppleCare+ today and have been going naked since lunch. Even tho it's covered, I am very anxious when handling the phone...

Haha, I guess after years of using Lifeproofs and Otterboxes, a simple case like Apple's silicone case seems minimalist to me.

Ditto. I just got the leather case, which adds some much needed grip and just a little extra depth, both of which make picking the phone up from a flat surface much easier, and it feels more comfortable in my hands. I wasn't babying the naked phone, but I did handle it with more kid gloves than I might have otherwise. Now the phone is hardly any bigger, but is much easier to hold for me.
 
these phones are too dam beautiful to be held in a case.. this is the first iPhone i ever bought Applecare+ on and not rocking with a case, i love the look and design of it so much and feel, I bought Applecare+ for peace of mind and no worries.

Are you going to do any skins or screen protectors? I'm still a little Leary of that darned protruding lens....
 
I have been trying out a couple of minimalist cases for my 6 plus and was beginning to think the phone was just a tad too big for me. Then I took the case off and without it, the phone is the perfect size.

I have also had my minimal cases, not so much for impact protection but more for scratches, etc.

Given that 6 series has a protruding camera, that's another factor that leans me toward a case. But... I haven't found a case that keeps the width to near original specs.

Has anyone else encountered this size finding and what did you do?

Apple case.

I got Ghost Armor installed on my screen and its beyond beautiful, the installation is flawless and they gurantee 100% optical clarity, literally looks like i have no screen protector on and it looks like i dont have one even on sometimes I love this GhostArmor i got on my screen.

I highly recommend Ghost Armor screen protector, well at least if you have a Ghost Armor kiosk by you, they do the installation extremely well and use some type of heat box to get all the bubbles out and for the screen protector to really perfect itself

And as for the protuding camera lens, i am not worried at all about getting scratched because its covered in sapphire lens, almost essentially unscratchable, its a 9 on Moh's scale out of 10(10 being diamond)
