Was on phone, dog pulled to say hi to someone - splat goes my Silver 128gb Plus on the indoor 'concrete' floor.

Had the white Apple silicone case on it (with colored apple logo sticker in the insert yea) and it's damn pristine. Thank god I had it on.

I might be brave enough to drill 2 tiny holes in the back corner for a tiny lanyard for a wrist strap!

Whew!

Photo of the colored Apple logo sticker, please!
 
I'm still waiting on my Best Skins Ever (my fave since 2007) and the Silicone case is said to fit over it nicely. So GLAD I had that case on today.

Here it is with the logo insert sticker. They were developed for the phone itself so there's a hair bit of overlap of the indent on 3 sides but it works for me for 3 for $4-something.

This is the purple. At the last minute I changed to it from Pink carbon fiber :( Also have mint and lilac.

EDIT: They're from Lucky Skins http://www.luckyskins.com

Omg did your heart stop for a second?

What is the best skin thing exactly? Like a screen protector for the whole thing?
 
A clear skin (wet application) There's some pics of it on in this thread. https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1787262/ (I don't recommend the matte). It provides grip and scratch protection. Can still fit in many cases.

I ordered the screen protector as it's said to cover all the glass and for an extra $2 or something - figure it'll minimally due for now. I love them and have tried tons of brands and this is my fave. http://www.bestskinsever.com/cell-phones/apple-iphone/

Greytmom - here's a pic of the red silicone with white sticker. I'm not sure where he got his from though (I asked). I'd get matte myself. I think it's super cute.

Lucky you that your phone and case survived and is ok. I looked at the best skins ever I see regular and case optimized which would you suggest? Will it fit into the apple leather case as well?

I couldn't remember where i got it, but it's the same material as the White Carbon Fiber from Luckyskins, btw, i'm a girl :)

Anyway, I'm currently using this small crossbody bag to carry around my phone, a few credit cards and a car key. It's a tight fit though, I need to find something a little bit bigger. I got it from Express a while ago.

Did you get the glossy with case optimized best skin ever?

Crossbody bag is cute

And this is why I got the Rebecca Minkoff wristlet case and AppleCare+. Still looking for a bumper-style case with lanyard. Would really prefer something less bulky. :p

That is cute! I think I'm going to order an assortment to use with different cases! :)

I do have a skin under the case but it's an icarbons skin, not best skin ever. I don't really like it that much though because it doesn't cover the phone entirely. I just found a different skin company from other thread. It's http://www.slickwraps.com/ base on the picture I saw on their site, their skin cover the phone entirely so I ordered one yesterday. Can't wait for it to arrive so i have something to cover at the bottom of my phone.
 
*raises hand*

Like some have mentioned... I just stick it in my purse or jacket (depends on which jacekt) pocket and I'm good to go. It doesn't fit in all of my pockets, but I don't care! lol.

The phone IS huge, but I don't have an issue navigating...however, I'm 5'11 so having long thin fingers gives me a slight advantage.

I ordered glossy front and back and Non-case optimized. I'm hoping it'll fit in Apple Silicone case but other cases might be harder with it. There's some threads on that with pics

Jele - Please post when you get it. I've bought from Slickwraps before for other things and have been thinking about it. At least for when I take off the clear skin.
Which color did you get?

I wonder what case optimized means???

Has anybody run across any cute bags or cases lately? I found an adorable MK Sloan cross-body in Nickel with silver hardware at Marshall's but passed because its almost $170 with tax. :(
 
Case optimized is just the back skin - not the back wrapping around sides.

I got this off Amazon for kicks http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NCQKHNY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It's ok for $7.99 with free ship. Thinnish and doesn't feel wonderful. Not like the super thick merino felt products on Etsy, etc. Got it just to have something to slide my phone in to toss in a pack. Someone asked for pics when it came in so here it is. The inside is super soft. Suits my purpose for now. Tough to get in/out with Apple Silicone case. Has more than enough room for a case though.

Thanks for the pictures of Bear Motion case, I think I'm going to order one (or two for that price)!!

I received this waist bag yesterday and used it to go to a parade this morning and a birthday party this afternoon and I love it! I ordered all 3 sizes she offers and it would fit into the smallest, but I felt like it would a tight squeeze getting my keys in there too. The water bottle pockets on the sides of the largest size were so clever, it unzips to open and the inner fabric is elastic. The medium size is perfect for phone, keys, lip gloss, ID holder with credit cards.

I'm using the BSE glossy front and Lucky Skins wood skin on the back. Fairly happy with it. Provides the matte back and glossy front i've been after (since i hate cases) and protects 98/99% of the screen.

It is not the most fun thing to install though. Requires the patience of a saint and its always weird getting solution near your phone but it went ok.

Ordered the Verizon 6+ yesterday. I can wait till it gets here. At first look I thought it would be to gig for hands but after trying it out in BestBuy and Apple a few more times it seemed like it will be fine for me.
