Not sure if its the Arizona weather (heat) or what but my iPhone 6+ leather case ( midnight blue) came in today.. the side panels on where the iPhone would slide into are so warped its impossible to bend them open and insert the phone into the case. (Package was left at the front door)
Waiting on the phone to process a return/refund since doing it online is impossible with errors when trying.
Going to the Cardinals/Niners game tomorrow and very hesitant to take the phone out in the wild without any protection since I do have my original order still incoming from T-Mobile which is on backorder that is a different model/size.

I got the Midnight Blue to avoid what happened to my 5S Product Red case. I'm hoping since it's so similar to the black anyways, it'll just get darker and it won't be noticeable.
If you want it to look clean, probably best to avoid the beige case. I'll bet that olive brown will age nicely, and still appear clean. Or the midnight blue, which I almost ordered.
eh, that's an option. to me it'd be settling though. I'd love a red one. If I have to buy a specific color of a product to avoid it looking worn, to me the product is not worth it.
For those with the black leather case... Does yours have a warm/brownish tint to it? The case I picked up today is a lot warmer than the 5/5s black leather case that I have... It's almost similar in color to the black-brown Ikea furniture. It's fairly noticeable in room lighting and extremely obvious in natural light. It looks pretty bad with the black phone in my opinion. Definitely going to return it but if they are all this way, I'll probably consider a different color or case this time.
I got the Midnight Blue Leather Case for my Gold 6 Plus. It's kinda hard to see that the case is blue, but in person it looks great!
That does look amazing..almost regret getting the gold after seeing that haha but..been using the black iPhone 4 for 4 years or so..time for a change
I bought one of these yesterday. Accidentally dropped my phone, in the case, on a relatively soft rug in my house from about 4 feet. Ripped the corner of the case. Determined it was an overpriced POS and swapped for the silicon case. The black silicon is more grey than black.. waiting on my Spigen case to arrive.
Does this case have enough of a "lip" on the front to prevent screen breakage if dropped face down?

I chose the olive brown leather case. It should go well with the gold, but I was seriously considering the black. Hope I made the right choice. These things are expensive.
I'm sure you will be fine. It was a toss up for me to go with black or midnight blue, decided to go with black but the midnight blue looks super sick.
Here is the Silver Plus with the Midnight Blue case. Still deciding between leather and the silicone.

I just traded in the black leather for the black silicone. Much happier. Now, just gotta wait till tomorrow for my silver 6+
A lot more "grippy" and doesn't feel as fragile. The leather case seemed to just bend. The 5s leather is far superior imo
