Any women with the 6 Plus?

Sparkeze said:
I thought the 6+ would replace my mini, but I still like having my mini I guess if I didn't already have a mini then I wouldn't buy one, but since I already have one i don't feel that the 6+ is big enough to be a mini replacement for my purposes.

Agree. I still carry my rMini with me as well, but I have the 6. I use my phone for calls, texts and e-mail primarily. For anything else I prefer the larger screen on an iPad.

ladies, I'm finding huge success with the 'pinky balance' technique.

Anyone else balancing the 6 + on their pinky while attempting one-hand operations?

I have the 6 but also use the pinky technique. I find it causes "pinky fatigue" after a while of extended use. It works well though. i have short fingers/small hands. I work in Event Production so using 1 handed is something I need to be able to do...because there's always something else in the other hand.

Also, I said "pinky fatigue." I'm dying. lol.

I posted earlier in the thread, but thought I would put it here in case anyone missed it... Fossil has a bunch of nice wristlets and several look like they'd be the right size for the 6+.

I think I shall have to go shopping this weekend. ;)

Nope, I got hung up on the bracelet. Love it.

Those are cute - I find the 6 plus fits perfectly in my MJ zip clutch wallet so it will probably fit in all similar long wallets; however I find it annoying... I can't wait for my case to come in so I can just throw it in my purse like I always have. Putting it in & out of wallet all the time is a pita but I don't want to scratch it up. Hurry up case!

I returned a case because it was scratchy on my pinky lol. Pinky fatigue is a new phenomenon!
 
I had 'pinky fatigue'. Always used pinky with old iPhones but I feel this a bit more. I have the silicone case on it now. I've learned to use a bit of pressure with the other fingers to grip it more and take some weight off.

Learning curve!

I just bought this felt case for $7.99 with free s/h http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NCQKHNY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATN769G525V7J

Looks thin, etc. but it'll do what I need for the interim for flinging into a tote, etc. Also thinking I could use a carabiner on the back strap to hook it to things. I figure down the road I can use it for chargers and such and..... I really believe a pair of sunglasses can fit in it! 'Boom'

That's really cute! I'd be interested in knowing what you think of it when you get it.

I love the red case...seems minimal but protective

Female here also.... 5ft (if that). Got my 6 plus on launch day and do not regret it for a minute! LOVE it !!! I don't have to squint anymore, I don't make stupid typos cause my finger hit the wrong key (even better now using Swift Key) and I can actually watch Netflix now without being completely annoyed. I was at Target yesterday and they had the iPhone 6 on display (an actual phone and not a dummy, I was shocked) so I took mine out and compared them.... both beautiful but I definitely prefer my mine! :) Don't have a pic to show it in my hand (it goes from my wrist and lands dead even with my middle finger) but here's one of it laying on my MacBook Air.

Where did you get the case?

I need that last tan one! ASAP. Where are these from?

Which one? I've been googling waist bag, belt bag, fanny pack and browsing.

I emailed the hipzbag site asking about the 6+ and this is what I got back:

So our largest bag is our utility bag and is designed to fit Kindle E-Readers, phones etc. However, I've looked at the dimensions of the iPhone 6 from the website (says the width is "3.06"), and it should comfortably fit in the back pocket of the larger Hipzbag, which has a width of 5.5." I have a Sumsung with similar dimensions and it fits comfortably.

I have this case coming in the black Celtic Hounds design. Can't wait. I have a lot of different items from this company... my current shoulder bag, iPad covers, Kindle covers, checkbook cover, etc. Amazing quality.

I have a Kindle e-reader (Paperwhite 2) and the iPhone 6 Plus is around the same height but slimmer and narrower.
 
Another woman with the 6+! I love it. I really had doubts before I got it when I heard about all the people returning it. But I am really happy. My hubby keeps saying that he can't believe I like it. I am 5'5 and use 2 hands and it works fine. I have the spigen neo hybrid case on it for now until I find somthing I like better. Waiting on the proclip car mounts to ship out. Other times, I will just slip it in my back pocket or my purse.
 
I'm old, and I love mine. I have long, slim fingers, but I could never one-hand a phone anyway, and the 5/5S was already too tall for my pockets. I couldn't see any reason to choose the 6 over the 6+, so I just went ahead and bought the 6+. It's wonderful. The only thing that a little awkward is texting (the phone feels a little unbalanced), but it's not enough to stop me or anything. It will just take more practice.

I used the camera this morning and was tickled with the photos. They're extremely nice for an 8MP camera. I think it's easily the best camera Apple has put in a phone yet. I'm having a hard time putting mine down. Lucky I'm retired.

Have you tried the slo mo video? That's been fun
 
My iPhone, my iPad Mini and I went shopping today......and boy, did we have fun! Came home with the brown leather Apple case (which I'd already decided I wanted along with my black one, and a surprise -- the red leather Apple case. The red really pops against my iPhone's space grey/black front! I found the red at the AT&T store, as every time I've been in the Apple store they've been sold out of it. I also picked up a black Incipio Ultra Thin Premium Folio, which will provide good protection for the screen when I am dropping the iPhone into a bag. It's a little harder to get the iPhone out of than the leather Apple cases are, though. Next stop was the Fossil store, where I discovered a wonderful olive green nylon bag which holds both sizes of my iPads (Mini and Air) as well as the iPhone, my wallet, etc. It looks a little dressier than my casual Waterfield/SF Bags ones. I may go back and get a black one, too, since I like this olive one so much......

When I was finished there, I found myself wandering through LL Bean and happened upon a wonderfully lightweight water-repellent down jacket that isn't all thick and bulky the way most down jackets used to be. A major selling point for me: it has several pockets, including inside ones, which could be very handy for tucking my iPhone into and my wallet and being able to skip a bag altogether.

So I'm a happy camper tonight!
