My iPhone, my iPad Mini and I went shopping today......and boy, did we have fun! Came home with the brown leather Apple case (which I'd already decided I wanted along with my black one, and a surprise -- the red leather Apple case. The red really pops against my iPhone's space grey/black front! I found the red at the AT&T store, as every time I've been in the Apple store they've been sold out of it. I also picked up a black Incipio Ultra Thin Premium Folio, which will provide good protection for the screen when I am dropping the iPhone into a bag. It's a little harder to get the iPhone out of than the leather Apple cases are, though. Next stop was the Fossil store, where I discovered a wonderful olive green nylon bag which holds both sizes of my iPads (Mini and Air) as well as the iPhone, my wallet, etc. It looks a little dressier than my casual Waterfield/SF Bags ones. I may go back and get a black one, too, since I like this olive one so much......

When I was finished there, I found myself wandering through LL Bean and happened upon a wonderfully lightweight water-repellent down jacket that isn't all thick and bulky the way most down jackets used to be. A major selling point for me: it has several pockets, including inside ones, which could be very handy for tucking my iPhone into and my wallet and being able to skip a bag altogether.

So I'm a happy camper tonight!

Sounds like you had some fun! Could you post some pictures please? I would love to see your new goodies. :)

My temporary case for my space gray is the red silicone case... The red does look great!
 
OK, photos tomorrow...... :)



Yes, I love the red color against the space grey! (I wish they made a leather case in orange, too -- orange being my favorite color!)


I really want to see pics too!

That is what I need to do too, take my phone shopping. It's so much easier to see how it fits when I can try it out.
 
Ok, Saturday, everyone go shopping, then come back here for show and tell!
 
I have the 6 but also use the pinky technique. I find it causes "pinky fatigue" after a while of extended use. It works well though. i have short fingers/small hands. I work in Event Production so using 1 handed is something I need to be able to do...because there's always something else in the other hand.

Also, I said "pinky fatigue." I'm dying. lol.

I too have suffered from "Pinky Fatigue". #boom! I love that, "pinky fatigue". I will use that!

Here's my silver Plus with the red leather case. I love this combo, but I also have the midnight blue leather case which looks great, too. I have the pink silicone on order, if it will ever ship!

I am kind of regretting space gray. Yours looks nice!

I'm going to use that on Twitter. #pinkyfatigue

 
I found actual size 6+ pix which I printed on photo paper. Cut it out and have been carrying all day to see if I still want the one I ordered. My husband thinks I'm crazy says the phone is too big for my 5'2. 109 lbs. body.
I am happy so far and glad to read all these posts. Question! I went with the gold and don't want to cover it up. Any slim clear attractive cases out there?

If you look in the iPhone accessories section there are a lot of ideas. I think there's a spigen one that a lot of people have.

It's not big at all! It took about a day to get used to it and then it looked a lot smaller. I love mine!
 
Thought you might be interested in seeing this. I'm 5' with, admittedly, tiny hands.

I have the 6, which I love. Still tempted by the 6+ but honestly, I can't run with it and I don't want to get a running belt. Went to the Apple store to check out the 6+ though and took some pics.



 
Thanks! The pictures make it look huge!
Actually bigger than in real size!
Still going to get it ( at least for now)
She's 5'. That's kind of expected. Being 5'1", I can relate. That said, finally found someone who's not a child with smaller hands than I have! :p

I have an Insignia case from Best Buy (11.99) that's completely transparent, I believe acryllic so it's generally hard and the edges are slightly raised to protect the screen although it's still not enough to make me feel safe lol. It also covers all of the buttons on the sides. You could also consider a bumper and front and back screen protectors! PS, sorry the pic is weird. I don't have another device to take picture of my phone in the case, so I just cropped myself out of a mirror selfie!

I got the same case yesterday for my 6+. It was 14.99 for the 6+
 
If I could stomach spending the on sale price of 179 for this bad boy I'd get it. But it seems impractical though it is stunning! http://www.cases.com/beyza-black-reina-clutch/

These are more reasonable but I'm not a cross body fan. https://www.etsy.com/listing/184471625/black-leather-iphone-purse-crossbody?ref=shop_home_active_2

I'm more of a wristlet fan. I found this Coach wallet in my closet. On the inside it is accordion styled and has 12 card slots (6 on each side), a zippered compartment in the middle and 3 additional sections for cash, receipts, etc. I use one of the slots for my 6+.

It works perfectly. It fits an iphone 6 Plus with a case. To make it a wristlet I snapped on a hand loop from another wristlet and BOOM! I'm set and didn't spend a penny. Here is my setup.

Yes,it will irk me to have a gold tone wristlet with a silver tone wallet but maybe I'll just up my OCD meds LOL.
