Any Singaporean member(s) who ordered and have gotten their hands on the version of the Power Support Air Jacket for the iPhone 6 Plus from the online Apple Store (SG)? Would like to hear your views on the fitment and ease of removing the case.
Got a tip for us?

Heard the shipping time takes really long. So far haven't heard any sgpreans review their PSAJ from Apple Store.
Anyway not only are the cases lacking in QC, their customers service is crap too. Promised a replacement case 2 weeks ago until now I have not received anything.
Bro, I noe why it took so long to come. Cuz it was delivery by USPS.
Anw, my package arrived but instead of the door step, it was found in my mail box. LOL!
Well I've decided to order the clear matte. After going back and forth I think I will just deal with whatever issues my new case may have. I love the slimness of it and the exposed buttons. I just can't stand the thickness of the Apple leather case. Went it comes I'll snap some picks.
Popped into my nearest Apple Store today to pick up a the official silicone case in white and came across a PowerSupport Air Jacket Support Force, in. Clear.
I was allowed to take it out the packaging to test out and thought it was quite nice. Didn't realise they were hard cases, they appeared to be a softer plastic in photos.
I noticed the bottom right corner of the case had a diagonal slit, rather than the lowered edge to help removal.
Is this the original PowerSupport case? Or is it a different variant based on the slit in the corner and the name Air Jacket Force?

Hmm... found this quote on Power Support's site:
"Paired with an Air Jacket Force or Air Jacket Air Band your new phone is protected."
Not sure if it's a different product, or just a new name for the Air Jacket. As for "Air Jacket Air Band", I'd assume that's the upcoming bumper?

So I got told the picture above on the right is the version selling in Apple stores. The difference is that it has a lip protecting the phone when face down. If anyone becomes aware of these being for sale by someone willing to ship internationally I'd love to know.
Called into the Apple store here in Belfast Northern Ireland and they had these cases in as well. They had all 4 versions for the 6 Plus but only the Clear Matte left for the 6. I'm guessing all Apple stores are going to start getting these in....
Apple Online Store Australia has these now:

Not sure whether i prefer this design over the original one or not....
air jacket was way better for previous iphone models. this one leaves exposed edges on the phone. power support really dropped the ball on fit and finish for all their iphone 6 products. I'm surprised, i've always used only their products on my previous phones.

Anyone know when Apple Stores in Canada (or apple.ca) will be getting them? I'd like to see them in store before purchasing.
The case was a bloody nightmare to remove, i'll tell ya that!
The Apple guy looked nervous as hell when I was trying to rip the thing off my phone. He was hesitant to give it a go himself incase he dropped and smashed my 6 Plus.
I personally think this case is overrated. It's okay, but I wasn't THAT impressed having seen it in the flesh.

Curious now if this is a new case altogether or a redesign. I placed an order on Monday which was delivered today and based on the item code on my confirmation and their website, it looks to be this new one. My local Apple Store doesn't have them in yet so I'll have to wait to get home and check it out. I'll update on what I get.
So after a lot of deciding I finally ordered a clear matte for my silver 6+ and I actually LOVE it! And I have been through a ton of cases including Spigens, Ringkes, Boxwave, Apple, I-Blason, and generic. Now I was looking for a super slim case that feels good in the hand and that protects from basic scratches/wear. Something with a slight lip for the screen and that would keep the camera lens off surfaces when it was put down. I also am very careful with my phone so I don't need something like an Otterbox.
I have an HDX Zagg on the front and back of my phone and there is no creaking I hear and the fit is perfect. Also the matte looks awesome on the silver it compliments it very nicely. In the hand it has a nice smooth rubbery like feel to it with no smudging or fingerprints that can mar this case.
Just my two cents after being super skeptical on the Air Jacket, I feel I have found my perfect case finally!

Wow! Same here, just came home to find the PS AirJacket in Matte Clear for my 6+ that I ordered and man do I love this case! No problem removing the case and no play in fit or creaking at all. I ordered on Monday and received the original, not the updated version others have been finding in apple stores. I'll probably check the updated version at some point but I don't see how they can improve on it without taking away from the low profile.
I like the HDX but it's a "case friendly" front/back version so definitely does not provide full flush coverage to the edges.

Glad I'm not alone on the pleasant surprise with no QC issues. So the updated version has a slit in the bottom right vs the lower dip to that corner?
