Any women with the 6 Plus?

Okay, I'll play. I bought this Kate Spade crossbody iin black to carry my phone when I don't want to lug my larger purse(s) with me. It's quite cute and a perfect fit for 6+ and a small coin purse, even a comb and lipstick. I wish it had a wrist strap as well. And it's on sale. I like the Coach wristlet in pink at Belk too!:)

If you're like my daughters, you could just "borrow" it. Permanently. "What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine":p

Hey, my favorite saying. :p Lol, I'll probably just borrow it now and then. I'm really digging the Rebecca Minkoff case so there's a good chance I'll stick to that. Oh yeah, it appears my mom's is a different wristlet from the Coach Zippy wallet although the inside layout is the same (just with red lining). Forgive the pic, bad lighting.

I did do a little shopping today and all the zip around wallets look like they will fit, but since they had a middle divider I could barely get my phone with thin case in them. I know it wouldn't fit with my cards etc in there. Sometimes it really sucks not having good shopping in my city.

Does the zippy fit roomily? Room for the normal wallet stuff and phone in case?

My 6 Plus fits perfectly in my hand but then again I used my hubby's Note 3 a lot so I was already used to a phone of that size. I purchased a clear Spigen case for it and although it is nice and grippy I worry about the screen being exposed all the time. I don't really carry handbags I usually carry my phones in my pockets and unfortunately I can't do that with the plus. I have 2 wristlets/wallets that I use for my phones, one is the LV Insolite Wallet and the other is the Rebecca Minkoff Floral Wallet Case. The plus is a tight fit with the Spigen case in the LV bu it fits perfectly naked, it makes the wallet a bit bulky and heavy though. The RM Case fits the plus extremely well and keeps a nice thin comfortable grip, I just wished it had a pocket in the back for easy access of small things instead of having to open up the case whenever I need something. Pictures included for comparison.

Love your Insolite wallet. :) I have one, too! It's nice to know my 6+ will fit in it. And, to add the the topic of this thread, I don't find the 6+ too large at all. I have always used two hands for texting and I typically carry a large purse, so no worries there. The screen real estate is really nice. I'll probably sell my iPad mini retina because I just don't see a need anymore. Really happy with my choice!

I'm actually not sure what exact model my mom's Coach wallet is (it was a gift). However, it fits the iPhone 6 Plus inside a Spigen Slim Armor case quite easily along with a few bills and credit cards. :)
 
I did the preorder through the Apple store and after reading so many of these threads almost convinced myselft before I even got it, that the Plus would be too big for me.

I got my Plus on Friday and love it. The size is definitely super sized but it was easy to just start using it and not make comparisons it to my old 5 iPhone. I love the large, crisp screen. In the past, a lot of the time, I would bring both my phone and iPad along with me. Now, I'll be leaving the iPad home most of the time.

I usually carry a purse 90% of the time so that's where my new Plus goes. I'm not one that usually carries a phone in my pocket so I have no problem there. I do use a FlipBelt for working out and also when I'm out and about and don't want a purse. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the FlipBelt stretches nicely to accommodate the Plus. I will use it today for a 5K walk/run.
 
What a great thread.
I'm a 5'2" woman. Still going back and forth about which iPhone to buy. I would really like the 6+ because it could prevent me from having to carry my iPad Mini when I travel.
For those of you who have the 6+, have you used it as a phone? Do you hold it to your ear or use a headset? I find with my 5 that I can kind of tuck it between my ear and shoulder if I'm walking around while I talk, whereas I'm not sure how that is for the larger phones.

I don't talk on the phone much, but when I do, I hold it to my ear. I have never been skilled at the shoulder/ear thing, so can't help with that.

One thing I've noticed is that some are complaining that the earpiece isn't loud enough. I thought that too, until I shifted the phone down a bit. I was used to the mouth piece being higher up in relation to my mouth with the smaller phone, but when holding the larger phone in the same position, the earpiece was too high up to hear properly! So, just make sure the top edge of the phone hits the middle of the ear, and all is well.

Hope that made sense, and you are right, this is a great thread!

Thanks for the reminder! I knew I had a code in my inbox that I wanted to use!

Oh. On topic. I love the 6+. I talked myself out of it during preorder and bought a 6. Returned the 6 for the 6+ and I'm really pleased. I'm just a wee bit shy of 5'4" and I have smaller hands than my 13yo daughter who is shorter than me. Kid has long fingers!

I've been using it on speaker, with headphones and to my ear. Surprisingly, it's really comfortable talking on the phone with it to my ear. Way more so than it was on the smaller iPhones I've had...maybe because it's bigger so my hand doesn't get as cramped. If you're walking around with your head holding your phone to your shoulder it probably wouldn't be much different but I never do that for more than few seconds at a time.

The Zippy definitely has room for normal wallet stuff and the phone in a case. I've got cash and credit cards and IDs in there, plus my phone in an Apple leather case and it fits perfectly. I'll try to remember to upload a pic later today

I am considering upgrading from my 5, to the 6 Plus...possibly.
I am reading so many threads from men who say it is too big of a phone and it's awkward and I don't want to make the wrong decision.

You're best bet is to just go to a store or find someone with it and try it out

That would be great! I'm considering ordering it online sight unseen or waiting until I have time to make a shopping trip to the closest big city.

Got home to find that my point-and-shoot's battery is dead (not surprising since I never use it!). I will charge it tonight and take photos tomorrow!
 
Here are some photos of my 6+ in the black Apple leather case and my Coach Zippy (found the brown color at Belk in person...I'm 99% sure that the brown version on Zappos is the same as mine)
