I bought mine on Amazon. There's a bunch of people that complained about it being too much money on that post and that there were alternatives. So I'm sure you could find something similar to it.
Totally got used to it and I'm using it without a case. That makes it more comfortable when sliding in and out of jeans.
I hear ya. The wrong case can make this phone go from being a delight to being something of a nuisance. I just picked up a Candyshell Grip for my 6S Plus, and tearing that thing out of my pocket with those grips on it was terrible. I now have a Spigen Liquid Crystal which is pretty close to having no case on it, and in and out of pocket is just about as easy as my iPhone 6 was.
Agree on the case mattering so much with this phone.
I don’t think a SwitchEasy Nude would have been bad either, I have that one for my iPod Touch. At least the camera wouldn’t stick out with that case.

Spot on. Using anything other than those <1mm cases makes the experience so much worse. I'm often amazed when people make statements like "the Apple leather case adds no bulk". Seriously?
Totally. The naked 6s Plus is a great size. Add a significant sized case on it, and my experience with using the phone suffers a lot.
The Spigen Liquid Crystal is about the only case I can tolerate on the Plus. Even the Ultra Hybrid, which on paper is only a bit bigger than the Liquid Crystal, is just too bulky. It's night on day in the hand.
Bottom line is if you get the Plus, and you've got a case on it, and just think the phone is too big and uncomfortable, take a look at the case you're using before you jump right to returning it.
A super slim case or a skin, along with AppleCare+ (if you feel you need it) might be the best way to go with the Plus.
Totally subjective. I've used it naked, and I've used it in a case. I personally prefer the size and feel in the case that I'm using. Not everyone is going to share the same view on something this.
I'm good with the size, but I don't have small hands, and I don't carry a phone in a pocket either. I find that I use my iPad much less because my iPhone 6+ is actually large enough to see just fine! On the other hand, my camera has stopped focusing within the last couple of weeks, and I'm trying to get that resolved. But size? Not a problem!
I hate cases on any of my phones and especially if it's an iPhone .. Currently till yesterday, I was using my phone without any case since the past 2 months without any major issue. But bought a light transparent case yesterday as I wanted to avoid my small finger getting scratched with the aluminium finish of the lightening jack connector opening. I use my phone one handed 95% of the time and I can easily type with my left hand thumb finger without any issues (am a lefty).
But I find that my small finger gets adjusted towards the lower portion of the phone automatically every time I use the phone with 1 hand. My index, middle and ring fingers gets placed at the back of the phone (that's where it feels slippery when using the phone while in a sleeping position) and my thumb is doing all the work on the screen including typing.

6s Plus coming from year with 6 Plus. Used Apple black leather case. One hand is working great for me. Tried without case, too slippery to feel safe. With the leather, no drops no issues. Same case by the way, still looks brand new, Black one.
Well I don't set it in water or oil. I carry it everywhere, lots of Jean pocket time, desk time car sear time. It's 14 months now and to me looks like new, so I'm getting my money out of it. Split it 50/50.Looks very clean and neat for a year old case .. Should I give you the credit or apple's leather case ?

I love the size. The only time I have issues is when I'm in my car. Any of my phones from the 5S and before just slipped right into my cup holder. Not with these plus phones. It just slides everywhere. I've got a magnetic car dock but need to get a new magnetic plate to put on my phone so it will actually hold.
