Had Apple leather cases on the iPhone 5, 5S, 6 & 6 Plus. I work outdoors and treat my phones rough. No tearing on any. What the fleck are you doing?

Had Apple leather cases on the iPhone 5, 5S, 6 & 6 Plus. I work outdoors and treat my phones rough. No tearing on any. What the fleck are you doing?
So I bought the AJ Force in clear matte at the Sydney Apple store around Christmas and I thought it was the most perfect case for my iPhone 6 silver until the matte exterior started peeling off. The case is also becoming very sticky and dust get stuck onto it every time I put the phone down. Also lint gets trapped around the edges as well and this drives me nuts. I really love the look and feel of this case on the phone though... Should I email PS to request for an exchange and get the non-Force one? I've seen comments that the lip is not protruding as much and the case is not as rubbery or sticky. Anyone else experiencing the matte peeling off?
Please advise! Many thanks in advance
PS: I really hate spending so much on cases so I would really like to settle on one asap. I've been considering the Apple leather case but if it was not for the fact that my iPhone is not in space grey, I would have gone for the black leather case. Other colours would wear and tear rather obviously as far as I know and do not really go well with the white front. Any ideas?
Power Support replied to my replacement request and mentioned that there are a lot of complaints with the matte case and ask me to pick any of the four colour options to be sent to me! I really love the frost matte look on my silver iPhone, but if the exterior is going to peel off again.... I am thinking smoke - is it like the clear case in terms of feel except darker?
Which AJ colour would be best for the silver iPhone 6 in your opinion?
yes i am thinking of getting a Gold color in this. Anyone has some reviews of this bumper? and i cant find this bumper on amazon.
Thanks for the response. Do you still have a lip on the case after the addition of the Zagg glass?
Just bought the iPhone 6 Plus bumper. It's called the Arc Bumper: http://www.powersupportintl.com/Arc-Bumper-Silver-for-iPhone-6-p/pyc-41.htm
Extremely tight fit, very hard to put on and take off. However once it is on the bumper adds a small lip so protect the screen and the camera lens. The bumper material is hard plastic, very slippery with no additional grip so be careful. Otherwise the colour matches extremely well with the phone and is a winner in terms of build quality. There are no visible manufacturing defect such as the plastic mold edges.

I was reading the reviews on Amazon and they were not at all satisfactory and convincing. I am also thinking of getting it but holding back only coz of reviews.
okie. i saw them at apple store. ofcourse the package was sealed. will try asking the rep to open it for me and show it to me. what do you recommend me apart from them?
The only bumpers I liked so far (aesthetically) are the Rhinoshield crash guard from evolutive labs and Vapour Brute (only for regular 6).
The only other cases I like are slim cases. I'm currently using the Air Jacket Force from the Apple Store. While good, it's slippery and dust gets in between the smallest places, which is very annoying. I'm considering the Shumuri Extra Slim or the Caudabe Veil XT (when it releases) for my next case.
okay. just a quick question if a phone falls down then will it protect the phone? i mean are they shock proof?
Yes. A Google search will provide the websites for the bumpers where there are drop test videos.
Not sure about the slim cases but the AJ force does protect against drops
Without a doubt PS has some of the best customer service I've ever experienced. If you have an issue with your case call or email them directly. They wil take care of you.
As for me. Using a rubber black on IP6. First had some creak, second has none. Great product.

Are you using the Force version or the power support version? My AJ Force creaked and the replacement they sent also creaked in the same spot near the bottom right corner. I still have both as backups but currently using the apple leather case I got two days ago.
This was the smoke colored one. I did notice dust gets inside on the top portion of the phone.

I have the PS Air Jacket for my IP6. I like the feel of it, but is there any other case out there that has the same feel as the PS but is at little bit thinner?
