Loving the IPhone 6+ and the Coach Zippy I found at the Coach Outlet store thanks to this thread.



My only problem is my case, it really weighs it down. Any recommendations for a lightweight case that's comfortable to hold, provides grip and protection.


Like you, I have a coach wristlet and it seems to be a bit heavy. I have the Apple leather case on. Not sure if there's anything else that is lighter!
 
I think I am going with Power Support Air Jacket. Not sure whether to get clear matte or clear though.
 
From what I heard, there are more women into the plus than men cos girls have purses and bags for them and guys just most of the time want them in pockets. Anyway I'm a girl and I have the plus (got jealous of the battery life and screen of my bf's LG G3) I love it just waiting for more cases
 
I'm a women and have the 6 plus. I have small hands but find it easy to use. I just stick it in my handbag and I'm good to go. I've been using large phones for 2.5 years (Galaxy notes) so there wasn't a transition period for me.

This is what I see out in public. A lot more woman have phablets. I think it is b.c a purse/handbag and a lot put their phones in their back pocket.
 
My wife is tiny, she first used my old Note 3 and then a 6 plus and absolutely hated them. I took the 6 plus and she got a regular 6 and is thrilled with it. She just didn't take a liking to large phones at all.
 
I have a 6 plus. So does my wife. She had tiny hands. Looks like she's holding an iPad mini but she likes it
 
Jealous! I have that same MK bag in navy because I thought pink would be too bold and I immediately wished I got pink lol! But it's one of the sturdiest, most durable bags I've ever had!

Agreed. I have a black one. Super durable, but the straps could be more comfy. Have to watch the weight of the bag.

I bought that case from Amazon, but never used it. I got one of the Apple leather cases instead and also put a bodyguardz clear film on the back and front screen and haven't had any problems.
 
Not a woman, but I've let several women hold my phone and it just looks ridiculous in their hands.
6'2 and wear a large glove size I can barely hold it with one hand unless my pinky is cradled underneath and in doing so I can't touch the top of the screen because of how big the lower bezel is.

I've been using phablets for a while though. And I'm talking Galaxy mega and z ultra. So it's nothing new. But you never really realize the true size of a device until someone else is using it.

Ummmm. Ok?

It's a large phone. Yet, my tiny hands manage it just fine.

Some women are used to larger objects. ;)

I misworded that post I meant use it properly. Sometimes your thumb can't reach the top portion of the screen and reachability works against you when texting.

That's true enough. I've pretty much always texted with 2 hands, even with small phones, so it doesn't bother me.
 
I finally returned mine. I tried and tried to love it but just hated the inconvenient size. It was to darn top heavy. I went back to my 4s till next release.
 
I had the plus for 2 days but hated the size. I got the 6 and I'm happy now. My daughter in law got the plus at the same time and she is over the moon with hers. I just found it too big for me personally. It is a nice phone though.
