Start Posting Pics Of Cases With iPhone 6's In Them Already

I can post some pics but here are my cases and impressions.

Bought an Apple leather in black initially as a holdover. Nice case. I like how it is minimalistic. But I like a case that slides better and this doesn't move in and out of your pocket easily enough. The leather also makes it a bit thicker, which on a 6 Plus, increases the width and hand fatigue/hand cramp.

Also have the Spigen iPhone Case 6 Plus Thin (Amazon calls it "Thin Perfect Fit") which was $7.99 in clear and has almost the same exact cut as the leather case but is slick and a tiny bit slimmer. This is what I am going to use going forward and am very happy with. It reveals all the bottom ports well and gives protection without being too bulky.

I was going to order the Spigen Air Skin but I do like the clear vs. the Air Skin "soft" color which isn't quite transparent. The Air Skin wasn't available yet when I ordered.

I also got the Spigen Air Cushion in clear that someone else posted shots of. I don't think I can send it back. I see the appeal that it gives a bit more coverage than mine, but it is a soft plastic (in order to wrap onto the bezel) and I think those like the Apple silicone cases don't slide into a pocket as easily. I also don't like how they ports on the bottom are more covered. I use a Belkin dock on my nightstand and a JBL speaker in the bathroom that I can dock my 6 Plus on with either the Apple leather or Spigen Thin Fit on without removing. I wouldn't be able to do that with the Air Cushion.

All that said I have always kept my iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 4, and iPhone 5 all without cases save for using the Apple Bumper for a short time. I like the naked feel. But with the 6 Plus size, not wanting to scratch it, possible but proven not to worry bend issues, etc. I decided to use a case with the 6 Plus short term at least. I used skins on my original iPhone, 3G, and 4 but not on my 5. And my 2 year old 5 is in mint condition, not one scratch. I would have considered putting a skin on the 6 Plus, but because of the new curved sides, most skins will wrap to the glass seam. And in my experience from the original/3G days, the edges of those skins peel back and get pocket lint under them. Because the 4 and 5 was a flat back they didn't suffer this problem. So I plan to skip the skin option.

This Spigen Thin Perfect fit case you speak of, is it exclusive to the 6 plus? Got a link for the 6? I see the Air Skin but don't like the soft clear like you said that isn't translucent.

Only thing is on my 6 Plus case the camera opening is clear. It looks like on all colors of the regular 6 version there is a black oval around the camera. I don't know why. Shows the same on Spigen's website and on their sea foam green and colors like that. $10 from Amazon though.

The color often reflects its hue into the lens, affecting color balance of a photograph, so black is there to eliminate the extraneous light. A clear case wouldn't need it.

Thanks for sharing these pictures! Just wondering whether the case offers much "lip protection" for the screen? It is very difficult to see on the official photos...

Sorry, I'll try to take some more pics, but no, there is a raised lip but not enough to make me comfortable enough to lay it screen flat on a hard surface.
 
I had the Apple brown leather case and it's been great. Though when I saw the ROCK 0.8mm Ultrathin Soft TPU case in transparent black in posts #104 and #186 I had to try one out.

I've had it for a few days now and I love it. The leather case is much classier but along with leather comes a certain level of care I need to take to keep from scratching it, etc. The ROCK case is much more casual and I don't need to worry nearly as much about it. It's also just as thin and "barely there". No bulk at all.

I've also switched from the Power Support anti glare screen protector to the Spigen Crystal HD protector. I much prefer the glossy to the matte, not to mention the cut-outs on the Spigen protector are much more precise and "tight" around the home button and speaker/front camera.

This case does look pretty slim... but also offers up decent protection too. Is that a small lip on the front to help protect the screen when laid face down? Did you eBay this?
 
Hanwei said:
It is... and it does :)



Yup. There's maybe 0.4mm of a lip on the front for laying on the table face down. And yes, I got the case from eBay.

Do you mind sharing which seller you got it from? Is this one (0.8 mm) better than the 0.6 mm version of the same case? Thanks!

I have the 6 and that's who I got mine from. It shipped out the same day I ordered it.

Honestly, now having had the 0.8mm version, I wouldn't want anything thinner. I think the 0.8mm version is plenty thin enough while still offering some protection from a drop. The 0.6mm version would be too thin for me.

Another thing is that anything thinner also doesn't protect the protruding camera lens. I think this is about as thin as you can get that offers protection on the camera lens AND the small lip to protect the front of the screen.
 
Has anyone tried the clear 'silicone'?? This one is super thin and may not prevent the camera lens from hitting a table. Some of the hard plastic ones are either too thick or not the right design. I've tried the hard clear snap ons that are in 2 parts and all it did was pop open when I dropped my blackberry on the floor.

I have one coming in as well. Does it help with the stability of the phone? Scared of the bending! lol

The case is pretty durable and strong while staying thin. I like that. Overall I think the case is ok. I'm definitely waiting for something better to come along. The main reasons are the feedback from the rubber part that covers the volume rocker and power buttons isn't so good.

And also because it does get a little slippery when your hands are dry. But as far as looks and protection goes, it's really good. No worries about bending.
 
Looks thicker in the pictures for some reason

Just got my aluminum bumper in. It's way lighter and thinner than I expected but it honestly feels great. Truly that naked feel without risking your phone's aluminum sides to external scratches and mild drops. Thinking I'll pick up a matte film for the back of the phone and iloom glass for the front and enjoy minimalist protection with a truly naked feel. We'll see

What wallpaper is that?

Case looks great, I'd really consider that if I wasn't so nervous about denting/bending it etc.
