So who is keeping their old cases or buying new ones? I sold my phone and didn't even think to keep the cases lol looks like I'm shopping for new ones. Anyone out there buy everything fresh for the new phone?

I'm going from a 6 to a 6s Plus, so I need a new case no matter what. Going with the pink silicone, since it will pair so well with my rose gold phone.

I work in the wireless industry for a major wireless carrier and I got confirmation that 99% of cases that fit the 6/Plus will fit the 'S' series devices.

I'm switching from a space gray 6 to a silver 6S, so I'm switching my leather case (already have it) from black leather to the midnight blue for the 6S. I also have a Tech21 Evo Mesh in smoke that I use a lot, and that I will probably just leave the same and use that with the new one.

I've had space grey or black iPhones and somber black cases for a long time now. I am going for clear cases for my Rose Gold 6S Plus. Eventually I'll go back to using a wallet or folio case but when I do, it likely won't be black. I'd like Navy Blue or a light pink if I can find it.

I'm not "keeping" my 6+ case, but I newly bought a 6+ case for my 6S+ preorder. I got the old version of the leather case in a clearance sale for half the price. 29 Euro instead of 59 Euro for new 6S+ one. I'm quite confident that it'll fit, so I don't see any point in paying double the price.

I really like this as well. However the tech 21 camera holes are too big for my OCD. Really think evo mesh for my 6s plus since the closed the 2 antenna holes

Totally keeping my current case. I bought so many cases last time around that I lost track. I just sold my Apple brand cases that had been sitting in the drawer collecting dust.

I'm super thrilled that the new phone will fit my beloved Staples brand plain black TPU case. While others love the search for the perfect case, for me, I hate the waste.

never, do you recommend?

I have one on now, I changed from tough armor to slim after having issues trying to get the tough armour one (they sent the case 3 times each time the case didn't fit) I used the tough armor case for a good few years I loved it, but when I had the issues I swapped to slim armor it felt better. Just as protective the only really difference is that the case is slightly slimmer and its doesn't have 4 buffers on the back of the case.

The iPhone 6 tech 21 case will fit the 6s?

Interesting…I think this time around we are seeing more people go for the silicone Apple cases vs. Apple leather cases
