Can anyone speak to how the Apple Leather or Silicone cases would handle a face down drop?

Is there enough of a lip to the case to prevent the screen from touching a flat surface floor?

There is a lip on both cases, but a very slight one. I doubt it would help much in terms of a face down drop.
 
Got the red leather case for my 6 Plus. I've exchanged it over 6 times now and I keep getting a scratched or dented case :mad: The quality of the leather cases are inconsistent.
 
Do you guys think you could attach something stick to the back of the leather cases and have it actually stick?

I have a stick on wallet (Card Ninja) that I love and had it stuck directly onto the back of my iPhone 5. I'm pretty keen to get a case for the 6 though as at the moment I'm super careful about how I put the phone down because of the exposed camera.

With the cardninja on the back of the phone at the moment it keeps the camera off the table but the rest of the phone just feels exposed...

Would appreciate your input regarding whether you think the cardninja would stick well to the back.
 
Anybody not liking the hard stops when swiping near the edges of this case? I really love the curved glass for swiping gestures.
 
Anyone knows if the Shure SE215 earphones will fit with the iPhone 6 and Apple Leather Case?
 
Just returned my midnight blue leather case (on my space gray iPhone 6 Plus) because I felt it ended up looking too black & dark. Unless you were in great sunlight or a well-lit area, it never really looked "navy" unless really up close.

Ended up going with olive brown which I think adds a nice pop in contrast to the black and gray of the space gray iPhone.
I wonder if these leather cases are actually all 100% leather?

Here's some pics I use as reference for brown leather on space gray. It looks very professional and luxurious IMO... (re-using these pics from user Hanwei in an earlier post haha)

Black leather case for 6+ suddenly out of stocks at apple stores in NYC. I purchased it yesterday and they have so many on display. Now they don't. I want to exchange my defective Black leather case, power button is not align...
 
The black / red looks awesome. I have a silver w/ the blue. Really happy with it. The initial feeling of the case being flimsy is gone. 7-8 hours of my using the phone today the leather feels fantastic now.

I loved the leather case on my. iPhone 5...and although I was initially a bit put off by the "slippery" initial feel of the iPhone 6 specific model...it has grown "warmer" and softer with a couple of weeks use too and I love it now!

Excellent product!

Well, midnight blue and navy blue are not exactly the same....
 
I bought the midnight blue leather Apple case on Launch Day, thinking it was the black, so after I realized my error returned the blue and got the black, which my iPhone has been sporting ever since. This evening I went back to the Apple store and got her a brown leather case now, too. Then I wandered on down to the AT&T store and discovered the red leather Apple case. I couldn't resist.... I also picked up an Incipio Ultra Thin Premium Folio, which will nicely protect the screen when I take the iPhone out-and-about.

I love the looks of the brown leather and the red leather cases on the Space Grey iPhone 6 Plus!

Yeah... it was definitely more midnight haha. To each their own, but I think combined with the darkness of the space gray, it ended up looking too black to me.
The midnight blue definitely looks great on the gold and silver iPhones.

I'd like to know too.

Those are my photos (andyACEcandy - I don't mind at all :cool:) and the screen protector was the Power Support anti glare version that was available in the apple store when I picked up the iPhone on release day.

I've since switched to the Spigen Crystal HD. I actually prefer the glossy over the matte... and the Spigen's cuts are much more precise and "tight" around the home button and speaker/front camera.

(The case is the ROCK 0.8mm Ultrathin Soft TPU case in transparent black)

Gotta say that I love the look of the leather case on the plus. I'm not a case guy, but it feels great on the phone. Doesn't feel bulky and feels good in the hand. Love the olive brown on the gold.
