No not really. It's also very easy to keep clean. I just wipe it down with a facial wipe. I also take the phone out of the case every few weeks and give it a clean but it's not usually dirty. #

Nice!! I was debating on the silicone at first but went with the leather, but I do like the color choices on the silicone. I think this obsession will be never ending :D

My leather one is back in its box. I just love the silicone so much the leather one got boxed lol
 
Do you swap them out? Have you had any problems with the bottom edges coming apart from the inside plastic of the case?

My favorite is the white silicone case. I'm on my 3rd one due to the problem with the bottom edges. I've found at least the problem with my cases. It was the taking off and putting back on but especially the way I was doing it. When taking off the case, I would push directly on the corners away from the phone. I found that this flexing would cause the silicone to come undone from the underlying plastic. So with this most recent case, I originally put it on and left it on. But then I had to take it off and on due to switching out screen protectors. This time around I pushed the sides apart instead of the bottom corners and have had no problems.

So if you love the silicone cases like I do mine, try my recommendation above and hopefully our cases will continue to be like new.

Yeah I change every couple of days and no problems so far with any of them but I only have my phone a few weeks. However when I got them first I popped the bottom corners off and on about 20 times each so it made a bit easier to take the cases off when swapping them out.
 
What do y'all think about the Tech21 Evo case? Should I get one? This obsession is real :eek:

The Evo Mesh by Tech 21 is the best case I've have for protection that is not too heavy. Only at Apple stores or Apple on line. . And it has a smaller camera opening more colors.

It has real science behind it regarding drop protection. Very easy on and off too.

Is it still available for purchase? I've read somewhere it was discontinued.
 
I tried it on my 6 plus and was not impressed. It is very overly flexible and was easily falling off the phone
 
Am I the only obsessed with buying cases?

They were in the Apple Store Wednesday. And online.

But when it is dropped it turns rigid and deflect the impact sideways. Doesn't fall off my phone. In store Apple employees says it's the best they sell.

Non Newtonian material. Flexible until hit with force.

My Rock Infinite case just came in today. Looks and feels amazing. My old Tech21 Evo Mesh was a great case but it ends up hiding the aluminum look and feel of the iPhone. The Rock Infinite though, it rocks that aluminum look. :cool: (terrible pun intended)

Any loss of reception?

That was one of my primary concerns before purchasing it.

Happy to report though that in the 3 hours I've used it, I haven't experienced any majorly noticeable loss in reception. I'll need more time with the case to provide a more accurate report though.

However, I must add, you can't really escape the laws of physics. I'm sure there's some level of reception loss. But at the moment, I haven't noticed any at all. The case is well-designed. :)
 
Is there a link to this case? Looks pretty cool.

I couldn't find an official website link for it. But you can find it on ebay. That's where I bought it from.

I also take back what I said about reception. I've noticed some minor issues. Wifi upload speed is sometimes (very rarely) inconsistent and can drop to very low speeds but immediately shoots back up after 3-5 seconds. Download speeds seem to be unaffected. I haven't experienced any total loss of signal though, and cellular reception doesn't seem to be affected too badly, so that's a plus.

Does the SlickWrap affect the way the Rhino Shield's fits on the phone? Is it tighter, looser, or does it peel away at the skin?


Recently bought a Rhino Shield myself (love it) and was looking to do a similar setup with a custom skin; just not sure if a skin/wrap would stretch out the bumper or be peeled off in the process.

It is much tighter fit. Not sure if it would stretch the rhino shield out, but I'm sure it's possible. I could see it peeling the skin off if you wanted to take the rhino shield off. I bought several skins just in case though. I love the setup, so for me it's worth it.

Cool, thanks for the reply (and pics).

The skins I'm looking at don't seem to wrap around the top/bottom so that's good to know the RS fits regardless.

The 6 doesn't have nearly as many customizable cases as the 4/5, so this is really the best setup for customization.

No problem. A wrap that doesn't wrap around the entire phone might be better with the RS. I'm just a little partial to slickwraps.......always used them for my devices.
