my griffin survivor for my 6 plus just sticks in my hand. The bulk will be a turnoff to some and it's a bit of a lint magnet but my phone is now solid in my hands. Much easier to handle it being naked.
 
I'm gonna try the Bear Motion Sand case, comes in 5 colors. It's a minimal thin case, and only covers 2 sides. called 'Sand' because it is a rubberized textured material. I'll know for sure when I get it.

I wanted 4 sides coverage but seems I can't get exactly what I want for under $35. This was $8 + ship. I had Bear Motion leather back case for my iPad 2 and it was super high quality. - but this case is just thin plastic.
 
I find my Incipio DualPro slippery, but it's the only freaking case I can find for the 6+ ATM. It'll do. I normally only buy 1 case, in black. The fit is great though.
 
In my continued search for a case with more grip, but still slim and not bulky, I ordered this case from Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MYZVZN0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It just arrived today, and I think my search is over for a case with everything I'm looking for. It's protective but still has a slim form factor, doesn't add noticeable weight, fits great, has the most responsive buttons I've had on any case, looks great (to me) on my space gray iPhone 6, and (drum roll)... It has GRIP!! All the black surfaces on the case are slightly rubberized, not just slick plastic. It's not enough to make it hard to get in and out of pockets, but just the right amount to feel secure in the hand. It even has small rubberized grips on the sides. It comes in several different colors, but the red/black combo looks great to me. I've attached some photos...

Just placed my order for this based on your recommendation. Looking forward to trying it out.
 
I just scored a couple of Ringke Flex Slim Fusions & man is it grippy. The only thing I don't like about it is the bumper is so shiny...but that's why think it's so grippy.

The bumper part feels squeegee-ish...it even makes a squeegee sound when I hold it.

The case doesnt add a lot of bulk. I think it's gonna be my daily goto case. I had a Spigen neo hybrid but it was just too bulky.
 
I just got the NGP by Incipio and it has just enough grip while keeping the slim profile of the phone. Well
Made case

Have you been able to compare the feel of the NGP to the DualPro?


I find my Incipio DualPro slippery, but it's the only freaking case I can find for the 6+ ATM. It'll do. I normally only buy 1 case, in black. The fit is great though.

I found an Incipio DualPro at a local Walmart--not sure how someone returned it there when the local store hasn't received any iP6/+ cases yet--and it felt slippery to me as well.
 
I only had the dual pro shine for 1 day prior to returning it. Way too slippery. The NGP has a nice matte finish
 
I think that for an iPhone 6 case to not be slippery, it either has to have good texture, or edges to make the back completely flat. I find that this makes it easier to hold hands down (pardon the pun)
 
Evening all!

After owning entirely too many cases for my iPhone 5/5S, I'm limiting myself to 3 cases this time around. I'd like something thin (possible an Apple Silicone case - the open bottom makes me nervous), something that offers medium protection (have a CandyShell Grip which I love) and something heavy duty (maybe an Otterbox Defender or a Speck MightyShell).

The problem I've been running into is that all of the cases I've looked at are so slick. I have a thin Tech 21 Clear Check case that's hard/awkward to hold because it slides in my hand (I like the style, thinking about switching it for the Tactical Shell - not sure if that will be any better). I looked at an Otterbox Commuter and Incipio DualPro and I thought they were both slippery/hard to handle. Just wanted to know if anyone else experienced this or I just have exceptionally sweaty/slippery hands.

Thanks!

Using a little sandpaper on the case should give the surface some texture and take care of it being slippery. :D
