Much appreciated. And that already looks much nicer to me than the stock photos at the Apple Store website!
I can see what you mean about the slight lip to it. A good thing I think!
Got a tip for us?

Well, there's no way it was already opened or was a "return" the most likely explanation is that one came out of a different final assembly where they either weren't using the plastic or it got missed.
Get over it.
My 6+ was just delivered. LOVE it! It takes some getting used re: the size but I'm glad I went with the 6+ over the 6.
My 6 just came in, and the size is disarming. But it's perfect. Much bigger than my 5, but not overly massive.
Best thing about it so far is the screen quality. The pixels are floating above, it looks crystal clear and very vibrant. Super solid feeling and well built, very premium and substantial in the hand. Loving it.

Since you have a Note 3, is the 6 Plus a lot bigger than the Note 3? Also, is the Note 3 a good phone to get an idea on the size of the Plus?

Without a doubt, best phone I've ever owned. I bought the 6 and very happy with my decision. The phone itself is beautiful and I love the larger screen. I really don't see how Apple can top this one.
I guess Apple really means save your recovery key. My trusted device was my iphone 5 and in the process of activating my 6 it deactivated the 5 from the network leaving me without a phone on att to receive a two step code at and now I can't activate either phone. I am totally screwed right now.
I love it! I upgraded from an iPhone 5 and the screen on my new iPhone 6 is just brilliant! I'm huge on photography so I'm really impressed with the camera and quality of photos that I've taken so far! I'm also really digging the Touch ID - I guess I never really knew what I was missing out on but I like how convenient it is to do a bunch of secure things with just the Touch ID.
I bought a thin Spigen phone case from Amazon. It's got a clear backing and a TPU mint-colored bumper - I think it looks good with the gold
so far battery life has been pretty good. Haven't had issues with it heating up either - you can't really feel it through the case. I actually like the 'louder' vibration cause I can actually feel/hear it more now. Not much else to say..really happy with it I'm curious to see what the 6+ is like though in my hands!
Hope everyone is enjoying theirs just as much!

What if I lose my Recovery Key?
If you lose your Recovery Key, you can replace it any time:
1.Go to My Apple ID.
2.Select Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your password and trusted device.
3.Select Password and Security.
4.Under Recovery Key, select Replace Lost Key.
When I signed in and attempted to go to Password and Security, it simply sent a text verification code to my phone number. Not a specific device. Then it let me reset my security key. Give that a try.

Upgraded to 6+ from a 5. A few first impressions after playing for an hour.
This thing is big, feels more like a small tablet than a phone. My old 5 seems like a toy in comparison.
Goodbye slide to unlock! TouchID is so damn nice and really fast. It's going to take me a while to lose the old swipe habit to unlock the phone though.
It feels incredibly thin. The tapered edges are much more comfortable in the hand than the square-edged 5.
Vibrate in silent mode is quite loud.
240fps slo-mo is really ****ing cool.
All my most used apps look like I'm running in some large type accessibility mode. Looking forward to the updates so I can make the most of the screen space.

1) The iPhone 6 is big enough of an increase from the iPhone 5. I cannot imagine those that purchase the iPhone 6+ and what they are experiencing.
2) Holding the iPhone 6 and then switching back to my iPhone5, HOLY SCHNITZ! What a HUGE HUGE difference in phone size!
3) The iPhone6 is rather beautiful and glorious

It's pretty jarring. I can't really use the phone as I normally would but I'm going to give it a few days to see if I adapt.
I'll get some pictures later, however my first impressions of my iPhone 6 Plus:
This phone is awesome. Its just the perfect size for my larger-then-normal hands. The screen is the best display I have ever seen, I kid you not. The blacks are rich, the colors pop and the clarity is through the roof.
TouchID seems faster and more reliable then my iPhone 5s, however it could also be a thing of iOS 8.
OIS is amazing. I shot a video where I purposely shook the phone and while some of the bigger shakes were still there, it really did smooth out the video. A lot.
One downside is a lot of the scaled up apps look horribly pixilated unfortunately. I hope devs start rolling out updates soon.

Sums up my thoughts just about. Great device through and through. It does get a little warm when downloading large apps, which semi surprises me.
Agreed, but I'm sure they'll fix that soon. Plus it's much better than the cropped apps going from 4 to 5.
