Any women with the 6 Plus?

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+.

Image

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.

Love! Thanks for the pics, I have a few of that type of wallet but I'm not sure they're as big.

The gold and silver would really bug me too

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 had the insignia black/white chandelier looking print one for a day but the charger and speaker cutouts on the bottom were digging into my pinky and it was painful. And yes it was $14.99 for the plus version. I like the way yours looks though, my "clear" is a little frosted

Is it just me or does this look like a fancy, designer fanny pack? It's kind of funny, when I brought home mine and my husband's 6 Plus's he said his pockets are big enough for it but I'm going to need a fanny pack. Either way, it's cute and I can definitely see the use of it at a place like Disney World. But since I'm not going anywhere like that right now I'll just continue to put it in my purse or blazer pockets.

I definitely love my plus though. It's gorgeous. I have no problem using it and I am a fairly petite woman (according to my last nurse I am 4 foot 12").

Yup it's a fancy fanny pack. But I think the difference is that it's not bulky and saggy like the 80's fanny pack with the plastic clip fastener.

If I worked full time I would probably be okay just using a purse. Assuming that the phone would sit at my desk at work mostly. But if I had a job where I was constantly on the move and not sitting at a desk, a waist bag/fanny pack would be handy. As it is, I don't work, but I am a part time student and I run around a lot with my kids and errands so there are a lot of times when I don't need my purse but I don't want to be carrying my phone and keys in my hand either. My 5 fit in my back pocket but 6+ sticks out and I'm afraid it will fall out. Plus, I just like having accessories for my phone and this is a good excuse to buy them.
 
I exchanged mine for a 6

I couldn't wait to get the 6Plus - saw it in a Best Buy for a few mins after I had pre-ordered sight unseen from Apple on Sept 12th.

After getting it and using it for 4 days I had to admit to myself that it was just too big for me. It was awkward to hold and stuck out of my non-jean pants pockets. So, very sadly, I exchanged it for the 6.

It's really an individual question, like everyone is saying. I wish Apple had not gone to 5.5. I think they overdid it.

I saw the frosted one as well, but then I saw the completely clear one and picked it instead

I completely agree with you. I am a full-time student/stay-at-home mom that is hardly ever at home. I feel like I am running around constantly. I had a clutch/wallet from Fossil that I carried my 5s in but obviously the 6 Plus doesn't fit. For now I have gotten used to grabbing my purse and carrying that with me everywhere but I would love for there to be something else like what I had with my 5s. I'm sure eventually there will be more accessories that are designed to accommodate the 6 Plus. Until then I'm like you, I enjoy buying new accessories for my phone so I'll keep buying them until I find something that I really like. Then I'll probably buy a few more just to be sure ;)

I got the same case yesterday for my 6+. It was 14.99 for the 6+
Click to expand...

I think that was the original price, but it was actually on sale at my Best Buy in Durham, NC. I was surprised since the 6+ cases are so rare at the moment, but it might be because the package was partially opened. Sorry for the confusion!
 
I forgot that I also got this Ballistic Jewel case on launch day from AT&T just because I was too scared to carry my 6+ out of the store without one! I'm not a huge fan of the glitter, but it is transparent and the one time I dropped my phone in this case. The rubber corners bounced it to safety lol

Ohhh, now see, I like the bling!

I kind of like this wristlet - it's big enough for phone and kindle (or iPad).

Literally running too I bet! There are days when I say I was running around all day and I really mean that I was running through the house cleaning, cooking, laundry, or whatever. On class days I look forward to getting to class so I can sit down for awhile.

I'm going to try a bag from here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/youandmepockets

They're not leather but they're really cheap and I think I would just clip the bag to my belt loops. I went on a field trip yesterday and it would have been nice to have this type of bag that I don't have to be careful with but is useful for when I don't want to carry my purse.

Gee, Ive been thinking about returning my 6 for the bigger one. This review scares me!
 
I found a cute little pumpkin crossover bag at Ross. I want to post a pic when I get home from work.

Can someone please let me know how to post a pic here from my ipad?

Again....everyone is different with differing opinions! No one thing is perfect for everyone which is why we have choices. I LOVE my 6 plus and have been eagerly waiting for Apple to make the move. I liked my 5s but for ME the 6 plus is the BEST!
 
I am 5'2" and have small hands. I returned my 6 for the 6 Plus and have no regrets. Love my 6 Plus. I carry my phone in my purse, so I don't have to worry about whether it will fit in my pocket or not.

I've been with my 6 Plus for a couple of weeks now. I just went to the Apple Store today to play a bit with the 6 and I'm strongly considering downsizing. I can't use the 6 one-handed either and it's not really pocketable in my jeans (shallow pockets) but at least I'm not in constant danger of dropping it like the 6 Plus.

It's fine that Apple released a 5.5" 6 Plus as long as they still give us smaller choices like the 4.7" 6.
