Mine is similar but I am using the old leather case for the 6 Plus. Same issues with the camera cutout.
Got a tip for us?

No? I've read somewhere that this years version was a bit less bulkier and better overall.
Better yes but less bulkier, I don't find that to be the case and I have both.
Edit, I didn't mean the pun.
I'm not a fan. It has a decent amount of grip but that's about it.
- it is a lint/fluff trap and the fluff gets caught around the edges/corners so is tricky to keep the face of the phone clean.
- the raised lip is good for screen protection but can make swiping from the edge a little tricky, and 3D touching the edge for the task switcher not easy. Unsure about this particular feature though as I appreciate the protection
- I didn't think I'd care about the open bottom (because the corners should still provide some protection from the bottom getting scratched). But the bottom edge of the cover digs into my little finger when I have it propped up in one hand.

I would like to see a stone one as well, looked on this forum but cant find any pics, cant be a very popular colour.
I have the 6S PRODUCT RED version and I don't have any issues with lint in either my suit slacks or my jeans. However, I did have an issue with Lint on the older 6 model in Grey.
I find if I rest the tip of my thumb on the lip and press with the base of my thumb I am able to work it well.
I can kind of see that but the case is soft enough to the touch not to be a major deal breaker.
That's odd since both the older 6 model and the newer 6S version feel more grippy after extended use.
it seems like the red one for some reason attracts less lint for some reason based on what i am reading
Yeah that's what I have. Guess people don't know how to do laundry lol no lint problem on the red. I've had it now for three weeks no peeling. People must be rough on their cases I never have a wear problem
Did you get a replacement silicone case? Is your new case any better?
Reason I ask: I just replaced my slippery leather case (with perfectly placed camera cutout) with the silicone case which has a camera cutout positioned much like the one in your pic. Just wondering if it's worth exchanging for another silicone case (I prefer the feel and grip of the silicone case), or whether they might all be like that.
And the camera cutout is not entered over the camera, either! Is this an issue with some (or all) of the new 2015 silicone cases? ???
These new 2015 silicone cases are ridiculously fragile, compared to the 2014 version. I have had an iPhone 6 is a blue silicone case for a year, and that case has held up to all kinds of unintentional abuse. I have had my new iPhone 6S Plus a blue silicone case for less than 30 minutes (the case just arrived today), and the bottom corner of the case is already peeling off! WTF!!!
Needless to say, I will be sticking with my Apple leather case for the time being. The silicone case is going back.

You can replace the silicone case, its new... or you prefer the leather case?
my silicone case began to peel off at the right corner after 2 weeks... dont know why is that, my phone never get any hit or fall down.
Had been using the Lavender 6s case for about a month, so far pretty good.
I bought the midnight blue silicone when first released but realized that oil smudge and lint are pretty obvious in the dark shade so I returned it, despite the fact I love how smooth it feels. After a few weeks of using Spigen New Hybird, I decided to give the silicone case another try, this time bought Lavender. I find the lints do not bother me as much on a light coloured case and oil smudge doesn't show as well. I have no peeling issues.
