Ever so light of a "wobble."
Also, near the camera area, the case is about 1mm more thin than the rest of the case.
(But my 6 Plus is not bent)
I've been looking around for an acceptable substitute for the Otterbox Defender for IP6+. I decided to head to the mall to the AT&T store to look at the Voyager.
After taking it out of the box and feeling it, honestly I was disappointed. I love the extended front lip, but overall it feels rather cheap, certainly not $60 worth.
So many cases that I like some here, hate some there. And I don't think Defender is the best case out there, either....but I just had to mention my disappointment with the Voyager.

Love my protector and have had it on my plus since day one.
It was put to the test once. I dropped the phone from about 4 feet onto a marble floor. Nothing, no scratches no bending. Super happy with the case.
Mine does wobble slightly on a table with the camera side down. No wobble with the screen side down.
Can't recommend this case enough. I just wish it was a bit stiffer.

Doubt it would help much. All the "tough" cases I've looked at are quite pliable; they are designed to protect against shock, not add structural rigidity to the phone.
Just installed the Pelican Voyager I bought my Mom for her 6. Nice case, but the button response is terrible. A little electrical tape fixed them up nice which I'd consider an unacceptable need if I hadn't bought the case used on ebay.
Aside from the buttons, fit is superb and I'm impressed by how the case directs sound frontwards towards the user. It has a rather thick lip which could bother some but I don't find it to interfere with side swipes. I was skeptical of the two piece construction until I snapped it over an iPhone, when I was pleased to discover a snug fit to the phone and between the two case halves. A glass screen protector fits the ensconced phone perfectly.
Compared to an Otterbox, the Voyager is a sleek beauty. Highly recommended for those who don't mind tweaking button response with a little tape, or once Pelican fixes the buttons (maybe they already have).

Case is ok the damn buttons are really hard to press. I'd steer clear. Looking at the Thule Atmos cases now.
That's the major difference. Also, I found the protector to have a more grippy feel. I returned the voyager within 24 hours. My feeling is that for roughly the same price, I preferred the OB defender which I am currently using.
