iPhone 6 Plus Rugged Case WITHOUT built in screen cover

I use the Supcase Unicorn Beetle PRO Series. Yes it comes with a built in screen protector but it can easily be removed and the top still sits nice and flush on the screen. I removed mine after the first day and love it. The case is also nice and thin. You can't beat the price on Amazon.
The Cygnett Workmate is a great case. It has protected my iPhone 4s through multiple drops ranging from concrete to gravel with no harm done. This is what I'm ordering for my IPhone 6. http://us.cygnett.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=799
Pelican makes two:
The Voyager is the more rugged one with port covers, and comes with a holster. http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail_mobile_devices.php?Case=C07030
The Protector is only slightly less rugged, no holster. http://www.pelican.com/cases_detail_mobile_devices.php?Case=C07000
Spigen makes the Tough Armor, that's the one I have currently. Honestly I think the Pelican Protector is a better case, but I didn't get it because the silicone that surrounds the phone is grey, and I find it distracting. The Spigen is good, but has less lip. The stand is pretty flimsy plastic.. I don't use it.

Thanks I saw the Verus in person and didn't like the bulging corners. Looks funny to me.
To me not that bad. Provides a much better grip than the Spegin which is slippery.
I guess I should have specified in the OP. I ordered the Pelican Voyager it came in yesterday. I returned it this morning. It is only 2 pieces of plastic that snap together. Similar to the inside of an otter box without the exterior TPU rubber. I didn't feel like it was protective enough for me. It felt cheap and flimsy IMO.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check those out.

No. Haven't received the case for the iPhone 6 yet. The one on the 4s is not too bulky and could be put in a holster.
No. My phone hasn't arrived. But the Voyager is just not protective feeling enough for me.
One would think it would be hard to judge/rate a case on its protection/performance without having an actual phone in said case, but I could be biased. I have a Voyager and love it! Best "protective" case on the market if you ask me
I could tell instantly it wasn't the case for me. I need a little more drop protection than the Voyager provides. It is mostly plastic and I prefer more rubber case.
