Ringke Fusion iPhone 6 / 6 Plus case - thoughts?

Screen protector?

I got the smoke colored case for my iPhone6+. Does anyone have a tempered glass screen protector on their phone with this case? Looking at the phone in the case, I dont think it is possible to use it with a tempered glass proetctor .. but just curious if anyone has done it.

I have the Zagg Invisible Shield glass screen protector, and the Ringke Fusion fits just fine - no issues.

one last question about the fusion, does it have space for a zagg glass screen protector?

Yes. Fits perfectly.
 
Have ordered this for my 6.

I want the speck candyshell grip but it's currently sitting at £37 on Amazon and I refuse to pay that for a bit of plastic. So will use this until the price of the speck comes down.

I was going to the spigen air cushion as I have that on my 5 but it's a months delivery so that's a no go.
 
6+ version of this case adds too much bulk for me, but I am picky that way. If you don't mind the bulk, it is a nicely made case.
 
I attached a lanyard to the case this past weekend so I can take photos while zip lining, and after wearing it around my neck for a few hours, the piece in between the two holes is now sticking out and stretched out/warped. It's so thin that it did not hold up well after just a few hours of use. I could have lost my phone while zip lining :eek: Please be wary when using the lanyard holes.

I figured it wouldn't be very sturdy - looks to me to be a way of saving the phone while taking pics and whatnot, but I would never wear it around my neck or let it dangle by the strap. I got mine in the mail yesterday. Now I just need a 6+ to put in it! :(
 
I was using the clear for my 6+ and it's nice for the price most of the time. But a couple of things were nagging drawbacks.

First, the covers for the USB port and headphone jack sound like a good idea on paper. But in practice it's a pain when you actually have to plug in your charger or headphones. The charger's no big deal as I only use it once a day so I'm okay fumbling around with it. But the headphones was the major no-no as I'm usually trying to get those on while walking around and trying to keep the cover out of the way with one hand as I try to get the headphone jack in with the other is too much for someone who can't talk and chew gum at the same time.

The other drawback and the one I couldn't get over is the edges stick out too much, at least in the one I got. This made it difficult to impossible for me to select text that was all the way to the left or right of the screen, for example.

So I've switched to the very pricy Apple leather case which so far feels perfect. It barely adds any bulk while providing security in terms of grip and protecting the lens sticking out in the back. And no problem selecting things that are at the screen's edges.
 
I just received the ROCK clear case I ordered from eBay and used it for a couple days. Now I'm sure the Ringke Fusion is perfect for me. The lip comes over the screen and makes up for lack of coverage by my glass SP. The lay on the table lip and reinforced corners reassures me my 6 plus will survive most drops. Ports are covered and the original roundness of my device is kept intact. I realized this when using a thinner clear case that didn't have these features. In fact, I'm going to buy one more fusion just to have as a replacement.

Ringke Fusion v. Powersupport Air Jacket

which one is the better buy?
Click to expand...


I have a clear matte PSAJ. I've had my clear fusion all weekend and really like the case quite a bit. Quite slim, grippy, and seems like it could take a fall if absolutely necessary. I'm impressed with its resistance to fingerprints and scratching. It's my secondary case to the power support air jacket right now, but that could change some day. I like the power support's über-slim profile and general appearance better, but this case is really wonderful. Relatively thicker and bulkier, but far from thick or bulky. Also much easier to take off!
 
I use the Ringke fusion (clear) on my 6 and I like it pretty well. I had the Ringke slim for my iPhone 5 and I LOVED it, so that's why I ordered another Ringke. This one isn't as slim as my old one, but I got it for the protection of the ports. So far, I like it and have no problems. It is a little annoying to deal with the covers when charging or going to use the headphone jack, but not a big deal. it's fairrly easy to remove the case, just by pushing back on one of the corner edges. But it's very secure and I think it offers a lot of protection to the phone without being too bulky! I still stand by Ringke. I give the fusion(for iPhone 6) 4stars

Also, I use another accessory along with my Fusion - called the Kapotas wallet. It's a slim leather wallet that uses microsuction to attach to the back of your phone (or phone case --works really well with the Ringke Fusion). I've had mine for months now, bought it off of Etsy and I get a lot of people asking me about it, so I figured i'd share it here too. the wallet is MADE in the USA and in my opinion it's really good quality. Use it on your phone OR as a normal wallet seperately from your phone.

Any comparisons with the i-Blason Halo or Power Support Air Jacket?
Click to expand...

I have the i-Blason Halo in black for my iPhone 6 Space Gray and im really liking it. Buttons are really easy to press (you can still hear the click), back hasnt scratched yet, easy access to the headphone jack and charging port, and it has a good grip it doesnt feel like its going to slip out of your hand.

I was going to get the Ringke Fusion but i wasnt a big fan of the caps for the bottom ports. I would hate having to remove them all the time just to plug in my headphones or charge my phone. Im also not a fan of the glossy colours, i prefer it to be matte.

My only problem with i-Blason Halo case is that it adds a slight bit of thickness to my phone that i would prefer.
 
Anyone using this case with a Skinomi screen protector? The screen protector covers the curved edges so I don't know if this case will push the edges of the screen protector. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I bought the white slim one and loved how thin it was but hated it how slippery it was. But most importantly it started to get stained in my pocket from jeans within days.. decided to return it and buy the black matte one and love it!

If anyone is thinking about buying these, get the black one. Its feels great in hand, provides a slight grip as well!
 
Yeah, I bought both slim and fusion, I stuck with the fusion for that reason, the slim was way to slippery. I did love how thin it was, but I like the grip and the cover over the ports on the fusion.

I bought the Slim in SF Black color too, feels fantastic.
 
Hi guys I'm after a ringke fusion case for iPhone 6 in clear.

I want to know if the front screen is fully protected and does it have a raised lip to protect it in flat surfaces? How much mm is the lip around the case and any pics would be great also :) :D
 
I'll go ahead and throw in my vote, for the Fusion. I'm surprised at how nice of a case this is, for twelve bucks. If you're on a budget and like this style of case, this is a no-brainer, in my mind.

My only issue was getting the clear film off of the outside. I ended up putting a piece of tape on it and pulling, a few times. :)

Anyway, here are a few pics...

Yup. 6+ with Tech Armor HD and Ringke fusion. There's almost a 2mm gap between the glass and case.
