Let's talk cases

[Menel]

Is that case metal or plastic ? I'm concerned about antenna interference. I usually get a otterbox defender but I may try something different this time.

Spigen Slim Armor / Tough Armor is way nicer than Otterbox.

Getting the 6+ and Apple black silicone case

I started a mega thread here and posted a bunch of iPhone 6 & 6 Plus cases I've found so far here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1775535/

Going for the +. Thinking it may be a good idea to go with a folio style case. I can eliminate my wallet so I have more room in my pockets. Plus I like the look of it. Like this one. http://www.case-mate.com/iPhone-6-Plus-Cases/Case-Mate-iPhone-6-Plus-Wallet-Folio.asp#

It's just a little out of my price range. Any folio experts out there?

Also, share your favorite cases you found so far!!

I have a question to anyone who has used a folio style case (see link above), how has that worked out as a wallet replacement. Two areas of concern for me are

• Is day to day use of the phone to surf web check email etc.. weird because you are holding your "wallet" (not sure that makes sense but I hope you know what I mean).
• I use my phone as a GPS in my van and have a nice mount on the dash to hold the phone, i guess i would need to remove the phone from the folio each time i do this. How have you handled this?

Otterbox wasted no time at all on this one.

I have the same question, I am about to buy case but I am curious on this issue.

I want the tech 21 rubber from apple store. Best case ever. That and a zagg extreme on the screen.

Spigen Neo Hybrid (Silver), same as what I used for my 5!

I got this in gunmetal for my 6. Should be here tomorrow. I really like the metal band cases from Spigen and Verus, but I want to see reviews with anything with a metal band before ordering to see how signal is impacted on these phones. Amazon's $16 price on the Neo Hybrid is great, so that'll work for a while.

All the ones on Amazon appear to be Spigen. Are there any others out yet? Incipio, Belkin or any of the other usual suspects? Yeah, I do know how to use Google but this thread is here and I'm reading it so I figured I'd ask.

Gotta somehow fill my time until 3 am. Ugh! Why do they have to base it on PST? I was prepared for midnight eastern!

Otterbox has cases for the 6 available now, 6 Plus coming soon.

I just ordered this one: https://www.goballisticcase.com/shop/apple/iphone-6-plus/urbanite/ in this color: Had the same similar Ballistic case on my iPhone 5 since launch day and it's been the ideal case for my usage patterns.

Going with this one first I think. X-doria folio.

I've been seriously debating a wallet/folio case for awhile. Tired of carrying 2 things. I've looked at the BookBook case for the past two years but haven't pulled the trigger. I'm just worried the case will detract from my iPhone experience.

The only case I ever used on an iPhone was the BookBook wallet case for the iPhone 5. I've been using it for almost 2 years and I love it. I miss carrying around and fiddling with the phone, but the convenience of having of the case out weighs that. Plus it's such a well made case that I never felt it detracted from my iPhone experience.

I'll probably go with a cheaper wallet case until BookBook releases their iPhone 6 case.

Thanks. Always good to hear what experienced people think of BookBook. I might take the dive this time.

I had a hard time paying $60 for something I wasn't sure I'd love. Thankfully my girlfriend bought it for me for Valentine's Day so I didn't have to.

This is what I have on my 5s and it has served me well!

Anyone else have any other suggestions. I like a simple design but a nice lip to ensure that the device won't hit the screen first when dropped.

 

[NJRonbo]

That's the case I am going with

 

[jonathanlam]

How about this from Shumuri? Did any one try this on iphone 5?

Did you use it as your wallet as well, if so how did that work for everyday use. I would like to do that but i have a couple of concerns.
