Any recommendations on a rigid but not bulky case for my 6? I want to prevent it bending as I always keep it in my pocket while at the gym, etc.

I'm using an OctoArmor case from amCase. I did just get it as a case to use until more reviews for other ones come in, but I think I'm just going to stay with it. It's working pretty darn well, and I've dropped it a few times already. (and had an equal amount of heart attacks)

How rigid is the back piece?

I just ordered a Switcheasy Tones case.

The lighter gray parts on the back are rigid plastic. The darker color should be a firm TPU. I used the Tones on my iPhone 5 and was very happy with it. It was thin and offered very solid protection. The TPU sections never sagged or anything. A very high quality case.
Switcheasy just came out with these for the iPhone 6 so there aren't any reviews or youtube videos out yet. I'll let you know once I get it.
 
I'd say 6.5 out of ten. Ten being a rock.

Thanks.
