Sick! HOw's the grip? is it slippery? I'm debating on the clear or matte for my gold 6 Plus. I have a Ringke Fusion but that thing is way too slippery.

Wow, the ones that you guys are purchasing through PowerSupport is way different than the one I have, Air Jacket "Force." Seems like the one I have is way better. Not sure how else to describe it but the edges are thoroughly protected.
I cancelled my order with PS to get the clear one. I'll stick with this one.
This is the Air Jacket Force from Apple:

just ordered a clear one for my white/siver iphone 6 from apple website.. shows it should arrive to my work in fort worth by 13th..will post pics then..
Yup the rounded edge has a better lip and the rounded edge fit is facilitated by a vertical cut (as opposed to the horizontal on those of us who ordered directly from PS). Anyone get any answers on why PS is marketing two different versions (the cut lip for PS direct and the fuller case for Apple in-store/online)?
At least if you were going to market the Air Jacket and the Air Jacket Force make both available to customers so they could decide or just scrap the one you thought was inferior when stock runs out. This smells just like the original Apple store screen protectors, except I guess both look pretty good and get the job done. I do prefer the original design though personally.
Quite a difference! Getting mine Wednesday so we'll see how the raised lip works out... Seems to be pretty aggressive on the Force model but that could just be your pic.
To each his own. I hate the raised lip on yours and am glad I ordered directly from Power Support.

Thanks for the pictures!
I like my clear matte from the Apple Store as well. I don't think the lip size is unreasonable at all, though some people think it ruins the case entirely. I figure the lip offers good screen protection and possibly even a level of drop protection. Doesn't make the case any less attractive in my opinion.
I'm incredibly happy with it. I feel like I've finally settled into the setup I'm going to keep until iLoome starts selling 2.0 of their glass screen protector. I'm somebody who absolutely needs a lip on the front because i'm too absent-minded to remember to only place my phone face up. Also the finish on the black case has that rubberized finish, which I didn't think I'd get with the clear or matte cases. But overall awesome design.
I have the 6+ Space Grey... which colour case would you recommend? I'm going to stay away from the clear this time as I found it a little slick on my 5S.
So I guess that leaves clear matte, smoke, and black. I'm leaning towards clear matte, but for those of you with Space Grey maybe you can chip in your thoughts
Thanks!
10 days later. I don't know if you bought one already, but the clear matte looks great on my space grey. You can't see any dust anything like that, looks solid

I actually ended up getting the smoke from my local Apple Store last Friday.
After 1 week I've decided to take it back. The case it great. Quality is solid. My big issue is dust getting inside. I found too much dust getting in the top and bottom of the case. It happens with most cases so it's not a huge deal. The problem is removing the case to clean the phone. It's an ordeal just to take off the case. Like I feel like I'm going to damage my phone every time I take off the case.
My 2 cents.
The case is a legitimate PITA to remove but I dunno how long any case can stand being removed on a weekly (or whatever) basis. Ymmv.
I'm getting the Ringke Slim and i-Blason Halo tonight so we shall see how the popular clear cases stack up against the clear matte.
What does the black one feel like? I have the smoke version and it's a little slippy with a hard plastic feeling.
I like a slight rubber ish feel but love the look of the smoke.

And is the black one easier to remove?

Just picked up the Apple version in matte black. Wow. The fit is perfect. I had ordered two from powersupport and the phone moved in the case. This one there is zero movement. It's a bit tight to get in but once in its snug. The lip being called large is crazy. It's still smaller than the Apple leather case. If you hate A lip I can understand. I actually enjoy it. I am glad this version came out as I almost gave up. Also the camera cutout is perfect. I wish it was a simple pill shape but at least it's not resting on the lens like the two I ordered from PowerSupport. Thanks to Apple for making them make these changes.
What's the feel like? Grippy? Am compared the the space one.
Is the lip much bigger than the Direct one?
So the Ringke Slim and i-Blason Halo arrived and it's no comparison - PS is just better looking and better in the hand. Sending them back gladly.
I just got mine from Apple, not a perfect fit, phone moves up and down in the case ever so slightly.
Looks like it's a hit and miss on the fit no matter which version.I highly recommend the matte, I had the clear on my space grey plus and it looked great but scratched easily on the inside just putting the phone in it and was very slippery. It also was very hard to keep finger prints off of it. I swapped it for the matte and it has way more grip, feels almost like it has a rubbery coating but not sure, it just feels way better in the hand.
Is that the actual name of the case? I'm looking for something that will work with my iloome screen protector. Can u post a link on where to purchase?
