Any women with the 6 Plus?

So glad to see so many women loving the Plus on here I was just thinking about this subject today. I am 5'8" but I have pretty small hands for my size compared to other women I know.
Before the Plus came out I told myself I would never by that phone but some of the features made me eat my words. I love that it has a full landscape mode and the fact that I have avatars in Messages sealed the deal for me personally. As far as pocket ability goes I am ok with sacrificing that option since I always carry purse everywhere go.
I even bought a new hobo so I could have a specific pocket for my phone. Lol, now if I could just get it before or on my birthday I would be so happy.

So far, this Rebecca Minkoff Folio Wristlet (link) is the only one I've found. I think I'll probably get it and see how I like it.
Uh.. the keyboards a little hard to use because the keys are tiny. Nothing I can't get used to though.
That's what I'm looking for too. I had a Michael Kors wallet like that when I had the iPhone 4. The Michael Kors store says they have one for the 6, but not the 6+.
Except for in this thread, that's not what we're saying at all!

Here's a cute wristlet that zips. Love the pink.
I actually prefer a small cross body bag myself... Keeps the hands free.

I'm a 5'6 female with long fingers, but tiny hands and weak wrists lol and I LOVE my 6+! I've had the 3GS, 4 and 5S and actually switched to the Galaxy S5 this summer specifically for the bigger screen, so going back down in screen size would have been painful and going up .5 inches is perfect!
I'm only 20, but have horrible vision, so the fact that everything is larger and clearer is a godsend. The phone is also incredibly light in my opinion, so the pinky method works great when I do use it one handed, but two-handed use is no big deal for me. I just throw the phone in my purse pocket or in my back pocket (only when standing of course).
Also, I purchased a coach wristlet that accommodates the phone perfectly, but I've also seen them at Rue 21, NY&CO, and Wet Seal. They aren't branded specifically for the 6+, but the size is just right for the phone!

Do the dimensions of this fit the 6+?

Do you happen to have a link? And does it zip?
I keep reading about how you ladies say the pinky method. What does that mean? I am assuming where your pinky is on the bottom of the phone?
The dimensions of the pink Fossil wristlet:
Measurements: 7.75"L x 0.75"W x 4.25"H
Phone is about 6.25 x 3.25, so should easily fit.

Yep, phone bottom rests on pinky, back against other three fingers and thumb along the side.
I actually have really short fingers and employed this same method with the 5S.
Sarah Lane on TWiT has the 6 Plus, you could check out her feelings about it on this week's "iPad Today" (where she got it) or today's "iFive for the iPhone" (where she's bound to discuss it, after having it for a few days now).
She's a no-holds-barred, smallish-kinda gal, you can see it all at TWiT.TV on the web.

Yesterday I sallied forth for the first time in a very long time wearing a waist bag (Le Sportsac) and not carrying my iPad or using a shoulder bag. The waist bag works perfectly for the iPhone 6 S -- the phone fits safely in there along with my slim wallet. This leaves my hands free. The only problem was that I had to keep reminding myself that, yes, I had my phone with me, hadn't lost it, but my pocket sure felt empty!
While looking in the drawer for the waist bag I also ran across a Tumi wristlet/clutch bag that I'd forgotten I have, too, and it also will work nicely if I want to use it from time to time. I tend to prefer shoulder bags, cross-body bags or waist bags, though, most of the time, as then both hands are free.
I usually carry my iPad Mini with me and the iPhone will fit into the Waterfield Designs/SF Bags that I have in brown and black, as well as the larger one I use when I"m carrying the iPad Air.

I have this on the way until I find a really nice wallet/clutch made for the 6+
Cheap and cute

I'm 5'1" size 4-6 clothing range and size 5 in rings and my hands seem regular judging from pics posted by ladies just an inch or two taller than me. I love the Plus and am having fun conducting crazy typing experiments with it. For example, everything I've just typed was typed with just my right hand using landscape mode. It's awkward but I'm actually getting fewer typos than I did using two thumbs on my 5s.
Okay now I'm back to two hands but am still in landscape mode. And making more typos!
Earlier I tried typing in landscape mode on my retina mini iPad while holding the
iPad up in both hands and found it surprisingly easy. I'm just trying all of these crazy things because I'm curious when I read that all of these tall men are upset that they can't type on the Plus. I don't doubt them. I'm just wondering what I can do while having fun and being silly, not so much what they can't do in routine use. I may find that I'll become comfortable routinely holding and typing on the phone in a way that's atypical yet oddly feasible.
Okay now I'm back in portrait mode and definitely can't type one handed. I can't get a secure grip on the phone one handed. But I'm flying using two thumbs. I can't type this quickly on the 5s screen or the 6 screen I tried at the store. So I'm definitely happy here because I used to want to fling my 5s across the room it was so frustrating to type on.
I can fit the plus into the front pocket of my LL Bean jeans. Even with a case, I'll have room. LL Bean jeans are meant to be functional. They're what I wear daily as a mom and doing landscaping and gardening and outdoors things with family and the dog. Alas, they do make my butt look big I'm getting a wallet case by Senacases.com because I want a case that will protect the screen.

I'm a 5'1" woman, and I have small hands (I find kid gloves fit me better than woman gloves)
When I first opened the box to the 6 Plus, I thought "Oh crap, what did I do?!!" I mean, I used the cut outs to determine if the size would be all right, and I went to the store to compare different models of other phones in the 6 vs 6 plus range.... but this phone seemed HUGE!!!
Now that I've got it set up, and had a chance to play with it, I am LOVING the big screen size!!! I can fit the phone into my jean pockets just fine, but will use my purse to carry it anyway. Watching videos on it is awesome!!!
I have no problem holding onto it, and can even do quite a bit one handed with it.
My husband hates it, says it's too big, but that's ok, it's my phone not his anyway!!

I actually bought mine in store, but if I find any links I will definitely pass them on!
Me! Loving my 6+. Have to wait a month for the custom vaja agenda case I ordered... so for now I just put in in an oversized wristlet I already had. I carried my old phone naked but I think this could get scratched up thrown carelessly in a purse with keys, coins, and all the other junk I end up with in there.
I tried fitting the plus into my front maternity jeans and I think maternity Jean pockets are just to small imo.
I also did try the plus in my non maternity jeans and it seemed like it fit ok.
So I guess after baby comes I will be good to go, in the purse for now the plus goes.
