I sincerely hope you made a cardboard cutout of the size of the phone first to make sure you liked it! (A guy at work didn't, ordered the 6+ and when I showed him the size he wants the smaller size now).
The 6 is too big for me but it's the smallest they have in the 6 series so I'm stuck with it. I like smaller phones.
Cool. Thanks for another 6 vs 6+ redundant thread. Are you happily validated with your smartphone size choice?
I got my 6 Plus case yesterday and it was pretty much exactly what I expected. Then again, I guess it's not a big deal to me. I'm 6'3" have huge hands, the case fits perfectly in my hands. I will be able to hit every corner of the device holding it in one hand.
To each their own, and their own physical attributes, lol.

Lol, same thing for me. Received the 6 case last week and I was surprised by the size. Received the 6 Plus case just last night and suddenly, the 6 was looking pretty compact.
That said, since I can't use either one-handed anyway, I'm trialing the 6 Plus for one month to see if I'll be able to get used to it. 
It's a good size but not significantly bigger like the jump to 6+. Here's a 5s case inside a 6 case (which should still make one-handed use relatively easy):

Iphone 6 case just delivered from Apple...
I ordered the black leather case for the 6 and it was just delivered. Very impressed. First thing i noticed immediately was how much bigger the 6 is going to be than i thought. I'm immediately glad i went with the 6 over the 6 plus!

Not if you're already at the limit for the 5s. I already have to adjust my grip to reach the top and bottom corners on the 5s.
It is the exact same size as the nexus 5 and HTC One (2013 version).

I think lots of people will be agreeing with you OP. The 6 is a big phone. The 6+ is just ridiculous! Btw, I bought the 6+
My Speck Candyshell case just arrived, and I had the opposite reaction. As someone with very small hands, I was very pleasantly surprised by how not ginormous it is! My husband's 4.3" Droid Razr Maxx is actually bigger!
I too thought that I was going to be surprised by the iPhone 6 Plus size once I got my case. It arrived today and the size was fine to me. I have medium size hands. Some family members didn't like the size though. It just depends of the persons taste I guess.
