I read it in a few sites. Including their Facebook. I am hopeful but not optimistic.
Great news, thanks! I love Thule!

Me too. Looking at getting an iPad and a Thule case for that as well. The materials are so impressive
I've reviewed the Thule Atmos X3 for the iPad Air 2--so nice! One of my very favorite iPad Air 2 cases!

Noooope! I enjoy buying new cases, switching them up and seeing which ones I prefer to hold in my hand. I have two iPhone 6 Plus cases, both from Spigen. A tough armor and a slim snap on case. I want the Apple Leather iPhone case but I hear they're ****. I'd love to find a beautiful leather slip iPhone case though.
I've been using the Proporta Ted Baker folio style case for my iPhone 6, for the past few months and have to say, its one of the best cases I have used so far.
Best thing about it is that (as you can see by the pics in the link) it has a flap which closes onto the screen, which protects the screen of the iPhone 6. Additionally, and also differently from other 'folio' style cases, is that the flap, is magnetic, which means that it does not flap open (even when upside down) all of the time (which just about every other folio case DOES do!!).
The only negative I can find is that sometimes, the flap does tend to leave a few smudges on the screen but I think, this is down to wear and tear of the leather flap as it never used to do this when it was new.
I'm debating whether to swap it out for an official Apple leather case in black (I already have the grey silicone case but it picks up WAY to much lint in my pockets!!).
Hmm.........

haha. lets see if i buy it or not still deciding
Which case is it?
Decided to go for it and bought the Magpul field case. This is the last case for me.. Really!
It almost feels like my current favorite case, the Zoogue.
The size is noticeably larger than the Zoogue, but not as large as the CandyShell Grip to me. It feels much more protective than the Zoogue, which was the primary reason I got it. I feel like I don't have to be as careful with the Zoogue and I can toss the phone around.
The texture feels kind of like the Zoogue to me..but slightly less grippy. The ribs on the case, for me, doesn't really provide additional grip versus the side grips of the Zoogue.
The sides of the Magpul is a bit more squared, but it's just an observation to me and doesn't matter to me.
The lip is raised higher. I tend to place my phone screen side down at least half the time.
I'll use it for a week and see if I'll like it for long term use or go back to the Zoogue. I like the Magpul so far, but not as much as the Zoogue. I have now a total of 7 cases, but have 2 favorites so far. The end of my case journey is done. I'll probably keep the Magpul on most of the time just because it feels more protective (cause the baby tosses my phone once in a while if he picks it up).

Nice!! I keep telling myself that I'm done with my case journey but I find one that intrigues me more. I think have a bit of a problem, lol.
Oh man, this is me also. Every time I go to Best Buy or any others that sell cell phone cases, I head straight for that department!
You inspired me to put my Magpul back on. Darn you!
It really is a great case. I especially love that the buttons are super responsive and clicky!
For something as big as the 6 plus going through a bunch of cases is not a bad idea. Amazon sells them cheap and a good case is important when you have a big awkward phone to handle. I've already had one close call when my elbow was jarred and the phone almost made it to the floor of my garage. I want something grippy and able to cushion a short fall. Using the Magpul now. A good case but I'll try others that are a bit more sticky.

Oh gosh I thought I was the only one!! We need case addiction anonymous
And the dangerous thing about Best Buy is they have so many!!Haha! Currently I'm pretty sure the Magpul is my last case. Since buying the Zoogue last time, I stopped looking at cases except for the Magpul. I knew I was going to get this one last case but it was a matter of when.
Going on the third day and I'm still liking the case. The case feels really protective and the buttons are really responsive. If there's one nitpicky thing is I wish the grip is a bit better. In this regard, the Zoogue feels more grippy to me. Otherwise, I like the texture. To be honest, I still like my Candyshell Grip case, but I don't like the feel of the plastic part. If they had used matte material, I would have stopped looking at more cases... But then I'd miss out on the fun of looking at all these other cases.
So far, I see this becoming my daily case because it feels like my phone is pretty well protected. I'm much more confident when handling the case, but I do miss the slim/thin feel. Of course if my phone takes a tumble, I'll be glad if the phone survives!
When I go to Best Buy, I also head towards the cases too more out of habit now. But now I can skip the cases and just head towards the Macbook and the Macbook Pro section. But that's another story for another time.

Has anyone purchased a magpul case for their iPhone 5c?
It's on offer on Amazon and I'm wondering if it's actually a good case. I have a similar case in the form of a spigen tough case but not sure if a magpul is just too similar?..

I actually kind of hate this obsession.
I have the Plus and finally am fine and thoroughly happy with my Benks Pro Edge to Edge screen protector. So that search is finished - hooray!
All my prior phones have been white with simple white and slim cases. This time around with my Plus, I grabbed the Apple white silicone case and have been extremely happy with it. I love the color match and feel of the silicone in hand. But still I've tried many other cases just to see if any others might be even better for me. Every time I come back to the Apple Silicone. I recently tried the black leather Apple case and liked the look of black on white. The black leather actually seems to make the Plus look slimmer. I guess it's the black. The silicone case isn't any bulkier than the leather, is it? The leather case feels good in hand but truly not as good as the silicone to me. Just maybe I should have the silicone in black.....
I've got my discarded cases all going to new homes on Monday so they're not sitting around collecting dust.
We obsessors need to get a support group going here. #

We really do!! I'm currently using a wallet case and I love it cause I like having my ID and card in one place with my phone.. but I'm sure I'm going to switch back to one of my cases sooner or later, and it might be the apple leather. Sigh, our obsession is real.
I saw a friend at a conference with a really cool wallet case. I like the wallet idea but I also like the iPhone totally unencumbered when using it for surfing the web or texting. I have a great wallet with a flap opening on one side that fits the Plus perfectly.
I ended up returning the black leather case to Staples as it had a wrinkle on one side and a bump on the other. I thought I could get beyond the defects but for the top price that you pay, I ended up back at Staples this morning for an exchange. Their one other black leather case was also defective - had a good sized gouge on the back. So I ended up with the black (charcoal) silicone case. I'm really partial to the feel of the silicone cases but the charcoal silicone surely doesn't have the same slimming effect as the black leather. Oh well......
Okay the case buying is definitely an obsession but I'm totally done now for real. I did end up going to 3 stores today to find a perfect Apple black leather case. I get it that leather has markings and isn't always perfect. But for the price of the Apple leather case I wanted to get one with the edges laying flat and no major digs in the leather.
i guess I shouldn't feel too crazy. When I was in the Marketplace forum to get rid of my unused cases, I saw someone up there selling 25 cases. Holy cow, talk about an obsession.

Hahaha, I hear ya! I remember when I got my blue one that I ended buying 3 just to get the right one with no marks or anything. You'll dig the case though. Gets really nice and soft after some use and feels really nice. I clean my about once a month with leather lotion. Still looks almost brand new after 6 months, granted I don't use the case all the time. The lotion also gives my case an even softer leather feel which I really enjoy!
I posted in here earlier about all the cases I have. I am selling them because I got a new phone for work. I have sold several already and would like to move as many as possible. I made a thread on marketplace if you're interested.
