Same, got the blue one today for my 6, i love it! Feels great, looks amazing and doesn't make the phone bulky!
Hey thanks. Checked the store again and they just got them at another store near by. Thanks!!
Can anyone comment on if the silicon can or will discolor, especially if they had the 5C or knew anyone with the 5C cases? I really like how the blue looks with the black, but seeing how I was bummed at the brown on the 5S looking terrible less than a month later, I may just go black silicone. Thanks!
Interesting. I handled a friend's black leather on his 6+ and it felt great. Didn't feel plasticky to me and had a nice touch. Fit was perfect, I instantly thought it was better than the iphone 5 leather case. Local store did not have any 6 leather cases for me to try out. I wonder if there's some inconsistencies? Wish the silicone black was blacker as I don't like any of the other colors. Actually, I wasn't considering a case at all until i felt the leather one.
I picked up my blue silicone case last night and returned the leather one. The silicone cases are really popular it seems. The apple store got in another shipment of black and brown leather cases but all the silicone ones that they got in where gone except for one white case. When I had checked earlier, that store had got in a shipment with multiple colors.
I love this case. I am so happy I decided to return the leather one. The blue is a bright blue but I love it on my space grey phone. I love the grip of the phone now.

So, fo those who have had several kinds of cases in the past and now own the silicone, is it like the cheesy silicone of years past or is it more of a TPU-feeling case (more rigid)? I just got an Incipio NGP for my 6 Plus and was wondering if the Apple silicone cases were similar to it or not.
leather vs silicone grip
Much needed info, thank you very much for reporting back. Do you happen to know if the grip is equivalent to the silicone case at this point?

It doesn't feel anything like the cheap silicone normally used in cases. It grips well and isn't sticky or a lint magnet. It's closer to TPU but doesn't exactly feel the same.
I ordered the black on from apple.com... says i won't get it until 11/4. Wish i could find it in stock somewhere.
I wasn't intending on using the silicone case as my main one but after visiting the store yesterday and purchasing the red one, I quite like it! It's got a high quality feel and it looks great with my space grey phone. It feels like it'd give protection against a drop or a fall, too. I may end up keeping this as my main case rather than purchasing the Luvvitt like I was planning to...
Ditto. I am in Hawaii this week, and none of the three Apple stores here have the white. Also all the LA stores are sold out, so I am eagerly awaiting restock on the website.
It's a soft-touch feeling. If you've ever held the non-leather iPad smartcovers, they're the exact same material.
I would keep checking the store pick up options on the apple store site. None of the colors showed to be in stock at any Apple stores in my area yesterday. I checked again that afternoon and a few stores had multiple colors back in stock. I then just did a store pick up so they would hold it for me. These cases are selling out really fast. When I showed up to get my blue case, they were out of every color already except for a single white case.
Which one feels less "bulky" I don't really like cases on my phone but just curious which one of the two is thinner feeling
I got the blue silicone case for my one. I have White and silver 6. Beautiful pairing # Really good case, snug and easy to press all buttons. No issues with lint either. Feels very luxiourous.
