Official iPhone 6 and 6 Plus Cases Arriving Ahead of Friday's iPhone Launch

Would be nice to see a comparison with iP6+, iP6 and a iP5(s) inside the 6 case for a comparison of current size to new sizes.
 
I want one of the leather cases, but I've read they fall apart in under a year. Anyone with a 5/s leather case willing to share their experience with durability? Am I better off going some other route?

EDIT: Sorry, I see people are already discussing this. :) Still love the feedback.

I always have to give it to Apple to be able to sell 50 cents worth of moulded plasic for 40 dollars :D

It's only .50 if you buy a million of them at a time. If you fly to China to get one, it's a couple of hundred dollars in plane fare and .25 cents for the case. So either way it's a bargain at $40.
 
I emailed Incipio and was disappointed to hear they Arn't making the Stashback case for the 6+. It's the best case I've used with my 5. Apple Pay does replace my ID cards.

If I can find it, I'll post a picture later. The edges were all worn like this, but my case was blue so it just looked terrible. It looks alright on the brown.

Huh! I'm kind of two minds about this. On the one hand, you're right, it shows wear. On the other, it's leather and showing wear is part of its personality. I'm not so sure I don't think it's better looking a little worn. :)

The blue ones look awful when they wear. I've been using the black one for 10 months now though without issue.
 
Mine was delivered today (according to the tracking number at least) as well I got a black 6 Plus leather case.

I wonder what Jony Ive's true feelings are about these cases, covering up his work.
I am sure he understands it is a sound business decision being able to make and sell cases for pennies on the dollar. But I still wonder how he really feels.

Maybe less effort will go into the design of the back ;)

Not convinced about this iPhone at all. The biggest disappointment is camera…..still 8MP and 1080 video?!?!? I am not photos specialist but pixel is pixel. If I want to make pictures for my family and crop it after that…well 8MP won’t help me much. It has been like 4 generations iPhones with the same camera!!! Not mention waterproof capabilities etc. Apple not even doing catching up anymore.
I am sick and tired of Apple counting on us being loyal

Well what do you want? Smaller pixels but more of them? That gets you maybe some higher resolution but the noise performance will be worse. It's always a trade off. I just purchased a full frame Sony camera with 12MP. The A7s. It cost $2500 but it gets me to ISO 100K with little noise. So no, a PIXEL is not a PIXEL. For this sensor size 8MP is plenty.

You want 4K video or something too on that phone??!?!
