Hi

I have my iPhone 6 in the apple silicone case and love it. I'm looking for a microfiber pouch or sleeve that will fit the 6 AND silicone case comfortably so I can put in my handbag/pocket with other stuff and not be too worried about scratches (decided to forego the screen protector this time as I'm loving the screen). Any ideas? I've tried the Moshi iPouch but it's a little too tight. Anyone got the iPouch for the 6 plus? Also tried the custom pouches on Etsy but they're a little twee and bulky. Looking for something like the Sena leather sleeve or a plain old microfiber bag with drawstring. Any ideas?
 
i use a microfiber bag that came with a pair of sunglasses. it is the perfect size (for anything up to a 6, it would be too small for a 6+). i've been using the same bag for 6 years now.
you could try checking at optical shops in the accessories dept. or buy yourself a new pair of sunglasses.
 
Try looking at shops on etsy.com. There are lots of handmade sleeves for iPhone 6 & 6 Plus. I used the keyword - "Sleeve iPhone 6 Plus"

In particular, I highly recommend

"SeasideSew" and it also has the following web site as well (which links to its shop on Etsy)

Http://www.seasidesew.com

You can choose from a variety of handmade sleeves/pouches and can ask the shop to custom fit your particular phone case as long as you let them know the dimensions of your particular phone case. In other words, you can get a sleeve/pouch for any phone case even those rugged cases (e.g.. Otterbox) but normally people won't do it as it doesn't make sense to have a soft pouch to protect a rugged case!

Originally I was looking for a Golla sleeve/phone wallet for iPhone 6 Plus but I couldn't. Then I found a few shops on Etsy. I bought one from another shop and despite the craftsmanship and stitching are excellent, the inside cotton material is too thin. it only took me 2 hours to see lint inside the sleeve.

Then I spotted SeasideSew and was attracted by the fact that their pouch is water resistant inside and yet machine washable. Also the inside material is high quality Kona cotton.


See my sleeve below -- this is a custom case based on two phone cases listed on SeasideSew because I couldn't find the exact one that I liked at that time and yet water resistance and Kona cotton inside material are quite novel to me.

The owner - Natalie was very patient and detailed oriented and she made great effort in making a beautiful case. Her customer service is amazing and it is extremely easy to work with. Great communication and great presentation. Couldn't find any faults at all.

Note the tab/carabiner loop on the side is of a different color than the inside material. Not her fault. She pointed upfront before starting to make the sleeve. The issue is the color choices of Kona cotton are sometimes hard to match.

It took a week for her to make the case and another week to arrive in Canada. If you are in US, it would be much quicker as she resides on the Wesd Coast

The fitting is perfect. Not loose and not overly tight. There is an ample amount of resistance at the opening of the sleeve which is good. The stitching is perfect and the construction of the sleeve has great details and the Kona cotton doesn't attract much lint and is soft and pretty sturdy.

You can custom the case and she has many fabric and patterns to choose. You can also ask her about the color of the Kona cotton inside the case, (I actually went to Kona cotton web site and let SeasideSew know about the color code.

My phone case is a Rearth Ringke Fusion clear hybrid case. Interestingly I gave her the dimensions of Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear case (I changed my decision afterwards and went for Ringke Fusion instead) and yet it still fits.

Thanks, it'd work if the belt clip think was removable on the back. I'll definitely look into it though.

You can get it with or without the clip but not as a removable one unfortunately. That said it's the only one I've seen that has a version designed specifically for phones with Apple or I imagine other similar cases on them.

Actually as long as it's available without the clip then that would work. thanks.

The Leather one looks fabulous. Does the felt lining cause lint problems? Also, how tight is the fit? Will it fit the iPhone 6 plus Apple silicone case? Thanks.

I purchase the wool/felt one and not the leather. I think it could stretch perhaps but not sure about the leather. I don't use a care on it though so it is hard to say honestly. Maybe reach out to them. I have three things from them and they are fantastic.
 
Ryan and waterfield make good looking sleeves that fit the iphone with a case.

I am wondering if I could use something like caudabe veil and still use a product like the hard graft all in one, but I am not a fan of the protruding camera.
 
I had been using a Kavaj "Miami" case like this:

..but I was still uncomfortable using bare and slippery iPhone while out and about, so I picked up an Apple Case. The phone will not fit into the Kavaj sleeve with the Apple Case installed so I'm now using this neoprene sleeve:

This is working well, but I'm still looking for a nicer sleeve, something that will fit the phone with the Apple case, but perhaps in leather, with external slots like the Kavaj sleeve and a nicer build quality than my cheapo neoprene sleeve.
 
OOOF. Wish I could afford the hard graft ones, they look awesome. I'm still on the hunt. Decided that leather seems to look the best. I'll look at the Waterfield ones. I did email Sena to see if they did custom sizes - they don't. I'm thinking of having a look at cases for some of the bigger Android phones, maybe they'll fit the iPhone with Apple case?

I am quite sure you will like the spinn case, you can check the link posted by Mr. C. Also, you should take a look at their suede jacket, maybe they can craft a larger version if you ask.
Android cases can work but it is hard to tell how they will fit. According to another thread there is a watch that comes with a sleeve that fits iphone and apple case.
 
Is there any type of slim pouch or sleeve for iphone 6 plus to use with apple leather case?
