Apple leather case and the Sena ultra slim Heritage pouch. The pouch has a great leather smell ms fits very well. $29

Image

My exact same setup/color choices. I've always been a non-case dude since the 1st iPhone. Typically using screen/rear shields and always having a Sena case for times I needed a little extra protection. I tried a lot of cases over the years out of curiosity but always came back to the Sena. They are very well made, each one has more than outlasted the life of whichever iPhone I had at the time. Also in the past I have found that cases always scratched up my phone but the Sena always kept it mint. Truly an underrated product. I had a Sarach for 3 years, used it a ton and it still looks brand new, crazy! The new heritage (love the cognac) combined with the Apple case is a fantastic way to go!!!
 
Swapped my black silicone for a red silicone (my black had a piece of silicone come off, but I decided to change colors when I exchanged). The camera cutout doesn't fit perfectly on this one, but I'll deal.

Cutout is the same on my black leather case. It bugs me
 
Elago Duro S6 - really nice case for those who want some better protection but also want some style. About the same thickness as an Otterbox Commuter (but IMO a much better looking case.) Comes in many colors - I got yellow.
I like the look of that. What does the material feel like? Is it hard plastic or is there some rubbery/grippiness to it?

Cool! Great minds think the same.

I will add a LifeProof case for fishing and water sports. But that's it.

Nice! I'm also trying out 1 more case since designs are getting better with each iPhone release. This is the only other one that's really caught my eye and it's super cheap. It's very slim and the minimal styling really compliments the phones design IMO. There is a thread on here about it but the pics don't really do it justice. Here is a stock photo. It's the Poetic Atmosphere. Besides the Sena & Apple leather this one I think will get heavy rotation.

I had one of those for my 5S too. It was nice but extremely difficult to take off. One criteria I have is easy on and off.

I'm attracted to leather flips too but taking photos and laying flat is not a forte of these.

I find the design for the ip6 Poetic much more appealing than it was for the 5. But yes, the last one was a bitch to get off. Did you see the Sena Heritage Lugano? Looks beautiful! Takes away from the form factor too much for me but it sure does look handsome.
 
Finally got my UAG in the mail.

Awesome. Close to ordering mine.
Would love to get your take on the grip of the phone. worried about dropping the 6+. Are the rubbery side pieces provide sufficient grip or are they more like hardened material barely resembling rubber feel?

Also, how is the black color? Worried about how it will take wear and tear/dust. I'm waiting for my space grey phone. Thanks!

The back plate is hard plastic, though it's a smooth matte finish, not glossy. The case feels great in the hand. It's not super grippy but it feels natural to hold.
 
Rock TPU Case for my iPhone 6. Thanks to waxlabo for introducing me to this case and answering my questions :cool:

My perfect case because:
-Has a lay on the table design
-Has a nice grip to it (TPU material)
-Doesn't allow the the camera to protrude past it
-Looks really thin and does not have those thick edges most TPU cases have when looking at the screen.
-Button coverings are molded, which makes them easier to navigate by touch
-Keeps the original look of the phone while giving me some peace of mind

Can you post a picture of the box or packaging that this case came in? Thanks!

I don't recommend UAG. My experiences have been bad to fitting badly and poor molding. They are basically hard TPU cases. For the price I'd rather buy the Apple Silicone case. There are much better quality and cheaper priced cases else where.
 
I found a great cheap option at Best Buy. I was looking for an inexpensive case to last a week while I waited for a Spigen case to arrive via Amazon. Best Buy's house brand (Insignia) TPU cases are $14.99, so I grabbed one in black. It's a perfect case. Smooth enough to go in/out of pockets easily, very light, covers all the buttons, room for headphones and Lightning cables, and has just enough texture to make the 6 Plus a little easier to hold onto. I prefer it to the Spigen case (which is thicker and heavier) now that I have both. They had some other colors (blue, smoke, purple), but this turned out to be a great basic option that I think will be my main case. (The pictures aren't so great.)

Currently have the pt bamboo (thicker but nice looking wood backing) and the insignia tpu in clear and that is great for the price

Grabbed the case mate naked tough today to try it on the way out of work... I like the thin case styles like a tpu case and easier to hit the buttons with the separate buttons from the tpu

Downside the bottom rubber with the casing is not framed out correctly with speaker placement

Just adding more cases to the collection ..
 
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.

Which case is this?
 
Apple leather case and the Sena ultra slim Heritage pouch. The pouch has a great leather smell ms fits very well. $29

Great combo.

Does the Sena pouch fit over the phone with the Apple case on it? I heard that the Sena pouch was a tight fit, even with no case.
 
Pinlo Slice 3...

At .4mm, it doesn't cover the camera at the back, so I'm strongly considering the Rock at this point..
