Onefastdeal via Amazon. Which color did you get? I checked botach and it appeared that the only available cases they had were OD (black on back order). Like I said, I was told the issues were with some of the cases, perhaps the more colorful molds are having issues or something? I've only seen any actual posts on various forums that were grey, od etc.
Got a tip for us?

Everything the Field Case was for the 5s, this case is for the iPhone 6.
Ribs help give it that great Magpul grip/feel, protect from falls.
Very good lay on the table coverage in front.
You know I had the Field Case and the Bump Case for the 5s...
Even though I used the Bump mostly, I preferred the overall feel of the Field. I think I'll just stick with this one. YMMV
(Any "imperfections" you think you see are rug lint.
It looks just like the iPhone 5 version. Did they not round off the edges like the back of the iPhone 6? It looks squared to me.
didn't have the 5s version but mine is pretty firm: doesn't bow out or bend. in fact i think it feels sturdier than my ip4's piece 2 years ago.
I just received mine and it is rounded to match the iPhone 6 design. I have the 5s case and is thinner and more rounded like the 6.
It's firm.
It's rounded to match the phone.
I've been bouncing mine around the house by accident(s) without any damage at all.
Just a great case.Yes, rounded on the inside to accommodate the phone, but outside, the case is somewhat squared with some bevel to accommodate the hand with some gripping area. Kind of like a physical interface.
I put my new gray Magpul on the 6 plus Space Gray and am really liking it. In a way, it’s a case swapper’s paradise, it is that easy to put on and take off. It's going to be my case of choice for chancy environments, such as hard surface environments, or when passing the phone to a client to see my pics of products I make.
Buttons so clicky with almost zero resistance. Volume up and down are angled so that they can be operated with a finger roll, like the way one operates a rocker switch. Lay on table is sufficiently deep that, when putting the phone in the breast pocket, there’s some reasonable thumb purchase such as when fingers are on the case side and thumb is on the screen side — much less likely to slip out of hand in cold environments.
My Zoogue cases still rock for it’s grooved lines on the edges, but Magpul is the winner for the unforgiving environments, such as granite floors and the like, without going as far as going with cases that totally enclose the phone in a large plastic box.

A word of warning out there fellow Magpul owners. The back bevel can work against you if you don't get a full grab, or a grab and flip around to palms up, when taking it from lay on table position. I took a hold of the side and some back bevel when absent mindedly grabbing for the phone and the phone slipped out of grasp and landed on my table edge screen down. I'll soon find out if my screen protector did its job when another one comes in. Just a tiny mark that should only be on the protector.

No scratch by the way. (Whew!)
Case is 'da bomb. By the way, the gray Magpul case is so close to Apple's color gray on its iPad cover from around 2 years ago.
I can clearly see getting an optional color Magpul just because.

Why is it squared?!?!?!!?!?!?!?!
I just got my grey case for the iPhone 6 and it is amazing as expected. The buttons are even better than on previous version. There are only two things that are deal-breakers for me:
1) It is a little bulkier than previous versions. It seems like the material they used for the iPhone 6 is a tad thicker.
2) One of the main reasons I really liked the design of the new iPhone is because of the curved/rounded edges. This case makes the iPhone 6 feel like a bigger iPhone 5 because of the squared edges. It really baffles me that any case manufacturer would not make the case rounded to better match the phone. Soooooo frustrating!!!!

I like the protection afforded by this Magpul design, seen in its translation from a rounded phone edge to a squared and beveled edge. I have other cases that give me the rounded edges many of us like. I use the Magpul in areas of potential drop damage over hard surfaces such as granite or concrete.
I did not like the case, too bulky. if anybody wants it, I can sell it for $15 shipped

Side by side, there's a difference but it isn't huge. The 6/6 Plus version is slimmer.
It should. The front lip kinda goes straight up. It doesn't really hook around.
so where can you buy the 6+ one? they don't seem to sell from their store, and amazon just have some 3rd party dudes selling with a pricy upcharge.
I received the black case today from Botach. One thing I noticed is that the "production" tab that is on the right side of the case is very sharp. I have the ODG case and the production tab is not sharp at all. I could try to file it down but don't want screw it all up. I sent Botach an email. about it. Hopefully they send replacement along with a return label.
I did have one for my IP5, it worked well. Yet since the launch date of the IP6 I have had several different cases. My last case was a Apple leather case in black, it seemed to me not what I was looking for. Magpul did have some stock shortages, But finally I just got one in black from Amazon.com just today. I really missed that feeling of the case since my IP5 case. To me it feels more secure in my hand, and more of protected phone feeling. Now I'm very happy, only one last thing...............a perfect lock screen wallpaper.....my search continues.
