Leather Case Incredibly Snug?

I may do the same thing. I don't think I can get used to the power button being so hard to press.

I took mine off, and just kept pressing it hard to try and loosen it up. It worked, but I can't deal with the corners not fitting over at the bottom unless someone has a fix for that.
 
Oddly enough, the midnight blue leather 6 case I bought for my 6s yesterday, fits perfectly and goes on and off rather easily. It sounds like quality control isn't the most consistent on their cases.
 
I just went to Best Buy and tried the iPhone 6 leather case. Fits perfect, so everyone might want to try that out. Buttons works great too.

I just did the same thing. The 6 case fits the 6S perfectly. The power button works perfectly.
 
All the Apple silicone and leather cases I got for my iP6 fit perfectly on my iP6s
 
Actually, I was going to buy one of these tomorrow... Bought the 5s leather case one year ago and it is still in a great condition and i absolutely love it - imo it is the best case i bought so far.

So, what is the general consensus on the new apple leather cases?

I dont really want to buy the silicon case and i need a nice case as fast as possible.

Look into getting the old 6 or 6+ case to use with the 6s or 6s+. The packaging is different and the new ones are branded specifically for the 6S. I picked up a black leather case for the 6 to use on my 6s. The fit and function of all buttons is perfect. I grabbed mine at Best Buy. I'm not sure if the Apple stores are still selling the 6 cases since they are saying the 6S cases are compatable with both the 6 and 6s. I tried the leather 6s case first and returned it.

Hi Everyone?

Just got my 6S and the midnight blue leather case. I love the colour and the feel of it but it is an incredibly snug fit.

It so snug to the point I was worried it didn't fit and I had to work it round the corners to get it on. I assume being leather it will stretch out a bit. Anyone else have the same?

Though the box was it came in i a nice touch!!

Thanks!

Definitely fits more snug than last years leather. I noticed that immediately today. I'm not sure why they changed it.
 
I had the saddle brown for a day. It fit perfect but just didn't like the white/brown combo. Got the midnight blue and sure enough the bottom corners were way too tight.
 
Returend the saddle brown due to crazy tight fit. There seems a quality control issue

Did you try another 6S leather case, or go with the iPhone 6 case? I am thinking of taking mine back and seeing if I can get another that works better.
 
Im a plus. I got the midnite blue silicon one jnstead which dont have a fit issue

Did OP ever get an answer?

Got the saddle brown today AND stuck the Spigen magnetic plate inside of it with my iPhone for their car mount.

Still fits. Snug, but fits.

Keep in mind they are better leather this year. It'll give a bit. Give it time.

I purchased a leather 6s+ case in brown on Friday and the same thing, the fit was incredibly tight. In fact it was so tight, there were bend marks on the case itself when I took it off.

I've owned a few leather cases for my 6+ and none have ever been this tight. I returned the case and bought a silicone one, which fits perfectly. I've tried my old 6+ cases and they all fit my 6s+ well.

6+ case Mute button aligns fine?
 
Maybe. But my 6plus Blue case is now very supple after a years use.

I did purchase a new brown case this year, it's the 6splus case on the packaging.

I'm not concerned in any way, each to their own though.

I guess you Have to be happy with your purchase.

That is if we take it on and off. I don't see how they could break in other wise.
