I have always used black, white, or grey cases on black phones. I decided to have some fun this time around
It's definitely fun!Exactly

Same here, I got the green this time to be different, and my 2013 Wrangler is almost the same bright green, so now it matches
It's weird though, because I have a black 6 with bright green case and my wife has a green 5C with a black case, so they're like inverse twins.
Yay, I am looking forward to the fun, bright green color. It's spices things up
Yeah me too. I finally gave up on Apple and cancelled the order from them. Haven't seen them this slow in a long time.
My Brown leather case was said shipped on Sunday for delivery Thursday and then UPS says it's just now arrived in HK and has been delayed.
I found a new, genuine Green 6+ silicone case on E-Bay for just a few bucks more (with free shipping) and it'll be here Saturday.
So far, the (2) Spigen cases I've received are OK but nothing special.
It's more of a "hot pink" or "bubble gum pink" than traditional pink.
Here's a good video of all of the silicone case colors:

Add me to the group who had purchased a leather case but decided to pick up a silicone case after reading the rave reviews. I honestly couldn't be happier with the silicone case, so much so I am returning the leather case tomorrow! I agree the silicone case provides a little extra grip that the leather case does not, in addition I can wipe it down without destroying it.
So you actually prefer the feel of the silicone to the leather? That surprises me. I would've thought that the leather feels a lot nicer/classier than the silicone.
I am pretty unhappy with my silicone case. After one day of use the case became slippery for me and the texture changed. The case feels slippery as if there was oil on it. The case is clean and not oily but feels slippery. I think I should have got the leather case instead of the silicone. In the picture attached you will see how the case looks after one day. If you look at the apple logo you see a outline of how the case used to look. The whole case is reflective when pointed towards a light source.

After using it for a day, I'd say the silicone is more prone to getting caught when pulled out of my pocket than the leather. It's not so bad that I'm worried I'll drop it, but it is a difference.
I do prefer the feel of the silicone better, but I must admit that the leather is slightly classier. I do like the color of the the black leather over the "black" silicone, it matches my space gray phone much better but I need functionality and I think the silicone provides that.
I just picked up a silver & white iPhone 6 Plus after giving up on my AT&T preorder for a Space Gray one (had to take a bit of a road trip to get one at an Apple Store). I also got the white silicone case, since they are backordered at the online Apple Store and nowhere to be found around where I live.
So far I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not a case guy -- never used one on any of my phones in the past -- but I felt like this device could use something that would give it a little extra grip. Plus I liked the idea of combining the white case with the white phone. They're just about an exact match for color, so at a casual glance you might not even be able to tell that it's got a case on it.

Just got my red silicone case today for my 6 and I'm loving it so far. It's comfortable to hold, adds grip, and looks amazing on my space gray iPhone 6. Feels so nice in the hand. This is definitely the one I'm keeping.
Does anyone happen to have white silicone on the Space gray iPhone 6 or 6+? I didn't know if it would look terrible..
I am a bright person and love like the red/green.. but I don't really like making my phone stand out too much.. its the one thing I usually keep sort of laid back on and try not to attract too much attention.
I tried the black leather.. wasn't a huge fan of how it felt in hand.. I haven't seen the silicone but I have $25 best buy GC and was going to preorder from their site..

Gotta be honest, I think Apple really missed the boat on their cases this year. The 5s leather case (black) was an excellent case IMO. However, now the new leather is a different type and seems a lesser quality and the silicone case is a dirt/lint magnet. Surprisingly poor from apple
I think you either got a case from a bad batch or you have some type of sweat chemistry with the silicone.
My wife has THE SWEATIEST little hands known to man at all times and she has a red silicone case that looks just fine. I've also got a blue and white one and no issues with mine either.
I'm surprised some people are reporting lint, none of our three silicone cases have picked up ANY lint?
I have to agree. My green case is great and isn't picking up any lint nor is it becoming slippery. Perhaps it's being exposed to direct heat?
I bought these in both the white and red. Actually really like them. They fit perfectly and have a good grip and feel good. I hope they stay clean or are able to be cleaned. I know that TPU is terrible to clean but silicone can be fine. I have some kitchen utensils that never stain.
Do you have space gray?
I would LOVE to see pics of a space gray with WHITE silicone case.. ANYONE!!
Weird. I had the blue silicone case for the 6 but after around 9 days, it started to constantly collect lint. Granted you couldn't SEE the buggers, once I gripped the back I could feel it. It, for me, changed the feeling from being grippy to more silky texture that wasn't a good hold for me. So I returned it for an Incipio Feather.
I don't like the 'look' of the Feather so now I'm contemplating going back to an Apple case :/
