Let's talk cases

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.

That's what I ordered too. It will now come before my phone... :confused:
I usually get a custom case but want something to protect it right away. Everyone will want to see it...

Well that's good enough for me! I took a gamble and went with the same case as I had for the 5S. Hope they got the right spec sheet for the 6 size!

Also, looks a tad better as it's reinforced at the bottom where my last one ended up snapping.
 
Really wish they made the kickstand case for the 6, but no, we get the lame credit card stand. That slit is an eyesore.

That case itself looks nice, but I agree it looks stupid with a credit card stand.
 
Anyone know anything about the Neo Hybrid EX model? I saw others talking about the standard, but I like the EX I think. It doesn't seem to be the case, but if you know about it, is there a clear cover on the back, or is it just an open on both sides bumper case? If the latter, does anyone know where I could find one that is colored on the sides but has a clear cover on the back of the case?

This is what I'm looking at getting:

http://www.spigen.com/brands/apple/iphone/iphone-6/iphone-6/iphone-6-case-neo-hybrid-ex.html


Looks like Spigen also has this: http://www.spigen.com/brands/apple/iphone/iphone-6/iphone-6/iphone-6-case-ultra-hybrid-4-7.html
Judging by the picture, it looks like there's a clear cover on the back, but I really like the red on the Neo Hybrid EX.

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.


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?

No big issue with it being a wallet. I just fold it open and do what I need to do. I actually like that I'm holding my wallet all the time. The added bulk of the case feels good in my hands too. The only time I feel weird is when I'm at work with my wallet open, but I fold it back so my cards don't show.

I've only removed it from the case a few times since it's in there pretty tight. If you removed it frequently it would probably be easier to get out.

Thanks for that, hard to find any good reviews of a case like that where the person has lived with it for a while

The iPhone 6 Case Neo Hybrid EX is only a bumper. The iPhone 6 Case Ultra Hybrid is the case to get if you want a clear back. But as you mentioned, no red version.

Not as nice as Spigen cases, but these are the best I could find to match your criteria:

http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-SUPCAS...0531880&sr=1-10&keywords=iphone+4.7+clear+red
http://www.amazon.com/Jisoncase®-Sc...0531992&sr=1-69&keywords=iphone+4.7+clear+red

For those with experience spigen Neo Hybrid metal or regular spigen Neo Hybrid?

What's your take about these 2 cases. Metal or not ?

Damn. Thanks for the clarification. The search continues - though it is still a pretty sexy case, so I may end up with it.
 
Hi guys I could do with some help

I've fallen in love with this case from x-Doria - I love the clear back and sides so you can actually 'see' the phone, while having a colourful choice of cover to protect the screen.

Unfortunately the cover has no magnets or clasp to hold the cover shut when not in use. It's also only available in America, while I'm in the UK I don't wish to be caught by import charges as I was with an iPad case.

Does anyone have any sensible suggestions for a case similar to this? Thankyou

Can someone point me to a cheap, black, thin silicone case for the Plus that has covered buttons and a bottom. Preferably logo-less. Don't seem to be asking for much but I can't find anything.

Really leaning towards the Spigen Kick-stand slim case for the iPhone 6 [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JH83CY2/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=wireless].

I wish there was photos of how the stand looks, or how big the lip is. I also wonder how durable the stand is or how well hides away. Let me know if anyone finds better photos. Sucks that they didn't make any of these last year to try to find a youtube video review.

Not sure if you saw my edit in the reply, but I listed some suggestions that are (somewhat) similar to the Spigen.
 
I just ordered the Spigen Slim Armor in gunmetal from Amazon. I have the Slim Armor now on my iPhone 5 and love it. I think the stand will come in handy with the 6 Plus. I was pretty surprised to see Amazon had it for $11.99 and $3.00 shipping since it's $29.99 on the Spigen site yet, and it ships right from Spigen anyways. Can't beat 1/2 off!

I'm considering grabbing the Spigen wallet case too to try out. Never had one, but I think with the bigger phone it might be a good idea to try at least.

I'm thinking of a Slim Armour for my Plus.

I've got a Tough Armor on my 5S and think it's a superb case, but I'm a bit concerned about the lesser 'lip' on the Slim.

Can you ease my worried mind!? :D
 
Let's talk cases

I don't set my phone down screen down at all, but I wouldn't have any worries with the slim armor if I did. There is absolutely enough lip to make sure everything stays safe. And I think the lip on the 6 Plus case is even bigger than the one on my 5 case.
