A little update, my Apple silicone case that I put on yesterday isn't working to well with the bottom of the BSE. So I carefully removed the silicone case (which was very hard to do without damaging the BSE) and now the bottom two corners of the BSE are not looking too good. The silicone case is just too tight to work with the BSE. Lesson learned.

I do have a question. I am going to order another set for my plus from BSE, but what is the difference between the regular and 'case optimized' for the front and back? Does the non-case optimized screen protector cover all the way to the edge (including the curved part)? What exactly is the difference in the body 'case optimized' skin?

The back case optimized actually does wrap around the corners a bit. I had it on my 6 and was able to get my Apple leather case on. However it did make the 2 bottom corners of the case bulge a little due to it wrapping around the the back of the phone. Doesn't go around the sides as much as the regular version but it does go pretty close to the buttons. Looks great but I actually just removed it. When I go naked, I could really feel the seam of the skin on my hand. I found it rather annoying! There is a pic on this thread somewhere of the case optimized skin on a phone. It gives you a good idea of how far it wraps around.
 
I just installed my case optimized version on my IP 6+. back went on nice and easy, only a couple small bubbles. Screen protector was not bad either, but the top half has a bunch of small bubbles and looks like streaks, so hopefully they will clear out soon.
 
to those who had their back skin since last year, is it starting to peel now? Is it turning yellow? Also, I'm looking for something that gives better grip than a naked iPhone 6/6s. Which one provides better grip?

I'm thinking buying the front protector as well. I'm just unsure if the material is as smooth like plastic/glass protectors.

Thanks alot :)
 
In my opinion I would say yeah, I used it with just the BSE skin for about 3 weeks and was quite satisfied with it then I took it off because I wanted to try a few thin clear cases and I found some cheap one off eBay and it is as thin as a BSE skin, adds grip and I can take it off easily unlike skins. Happy so far with this cheapo case.
What case did you get? I did the same thing with the SlickWraps - got a nice install buy ended up taking it off as the haziness underneath never went away.

I ended up with the Luvitt ultra thin clear case through Amazon. So far this is a decent case and hasn't started going yellow yet - although it's only been 6 weeks. I did have a matte transparent case that I really liked - the Puro - but it started to turn off color in just a couple of weeks.

I think I went with a spigen clear case off amazon as well as some cheapo $5 cases off eBay.

My back skin has only just started to peel on my launch day iPhone 6.

It has discoloured quite a bit though, mainly around the sides. I will be happy to provide pictures when I get home if you like?
