with the announcement yesterday, it seems many new cases and colors for the 6s plus will be available.

Speck added a clear candyshell case and other grip and mightyshell color options.

Thule added their waterproof case the atmos x5.

Otterbox added colors to their offerings.

Other companies seem to be doing the same. Nice to see the larger phone getting some case attention.

Just saw the Moshi added a new leather one and I believe a battery case as well.

Too many choices...all ready for my pre-order from t-mobile tomorrow
 
I have to wait a little longer for my 6S, but I'm going for a Joli sleeve again, this time for a limited blue!
 
I just picked up the Thule X5 for the 6 plus. And so far I like it. It is waterproof and bulky but the sound isn't muffled. And it has pretty great grip too
 
Sleeves seem like the most pain in the arse case there is.

I think the appeal of sleeves really depends on how/where you're using your phone. If I'm going to be out all day and moving around a lot, a case is the much better option for quick access and not having to constantly put it away. However, if I'm going to be spending all day and night in bed or on the couch or just lounging around, a sleeve is a nice touch. It allows you to use the phone naked and appreciate the form factor, you can leave it out as much as you want, and you don't really need to worry about it getting damaged since you're not up and moving all the time.

I really love the fact that I can use my phone as it's designed. When I'm behind my desk it's either in my hands or on top of the sleeve and when I'm on the road the phone is either in the sleeve in my bag or pocket.
