I posted this yesterday but here's the Gold 6 with the midnight blue Apple leather case. Fits very snug, feels great in hand & has a little lip for when face down. Open bottom but the case extends beyond it a tad on the sides. Now to find a screen protector...

Ordered the same I can't wait to get home to it
 
This case from Spigen fits PERFECTLY. It's not loose, and it fits like a glove.
The branding is very minimal and it's clear, so it's not overwhelming.
As for yellowing, I won't know until time passes by.

It's only $11.99 on Amazon, which is a little over half off in comparison to their main website.

I bought it here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JH88D1O/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_2

Do the buttons line-up and work properly? I know with Neo Hybrid the buttons didn't work properly without the stabilizer. Wanted to see if the buttons lined-up and would press correctly. Also any chance of a close-up of the volume and sleep/wake buttons? I know you posted one but it's sort of out of focus and the light makes it hard to see.

Also, with the camera sticking out, is the case thick enough? Or does the camera protrude past the case too?

With a Luvvitt Clearview. Sorry for the photos taken by my paltry iPhone 5S. :p

Nothing special I put a invisible shield glass protector on it but was in a rush so I just picked up an Pt platium metallic case to protect it thru the weekend till I find a better one but this one isn't to bad

This looks just awesome as hell. The black front seems so much more worthy than the white, doesn't it?
How do you think about the not safe bottom?

I agree,the red and black looks pretty sweet. Yes, the black looks elegant and sophisticated :p. I should be ok with the bottom being exposed.
 
Is this case solid rubber or is it plastic and snap together?

Thanks!

It feels like a solid piece but the back is a stiffer plastic and the sides are the soft TPU for easy on/off. You aren't snapping things on/off to put it on the phone if that's what you're wondering. But the construction must have the harder plastic on the inside?
 
Really disappointed with Neo Hybrid. The back rubber "sags" around the Apple logo. My Verus came in later today and it fits far better. Button action is better too. Only problem is the bumper puts some depth around the mute switch so you gotta dig your nail in there and it doesn't work with Amazon Lightning cables which is what I have all over the place. So....I'll either have to dig out all my Apple cables or use a different case.

I also got my GLAS.tr tonight. It went on without a hitch--no bubbles. But they cut it short all the way around to avoid the rounded glass on the iPhone so not sure if I'm keeping it or not. Will test drive for a couple of days.

Spigen Slim case fits great, looks great, didn't realize no cutout for Apple logo, but my Elago didn't have one for the I5 and I got over it quick.

Summary:

Spigen Neo Hybrid - Not close to good enough for this phone. Amazon charging cable does work with bumper. Metal frame is REALLY tight.

Spigen Slim - Hard to beat a slim case, snaps tight, all ports easily accessible. These slim snap ons are my favorites.

Verus - Nice fitting metal frame, no sag around logo--rubber piece is just better designed. Buttons feel better, but there's some depth around the mute toggle and my Amazon cables don't work with the bumper.

Yeah this looks really sweet. I'm thinking of getting this setup to go with my gold.
 
Spigen Air Skin soft clear is what I have on. Not very happy with it, seems as though it offers no drop protection at all. I will use it until I can get AppleCare+ and a new case.

You'd be surprised. I have dropped my iPhone 5s with a Caudate Veil on concrete about 4 ft worth of a drop and not a scratch. The case took a beating but the phone was fine.
 
Spigen Air Cushion. I feel like the case could be a little more snug around the sides. I'll probably end up returning it if I find something better. I also have the Neo Hybrid in white, but I haven't tried that one yet.

Edit..yea, not liking the buttons on this case. They're a little hard to press.
2nd edit..buttons are even worse on the Neo Hybrid. Both are going back. Hope my Ringke case that's coming tomorrow is better.

6+ with Zagg Glass screen protector and Apple Leather Case

This will do the job for now, I'm looking to get a skin from Skinomi to cover the back and sides. I want to keep it looking like there's no case. The Apple Leather case will protect it till the Skinomi comes in. Hopefully it will look like the the skin that I have on the iPad.

I bought the Apple case for the iPhone 6 Plus. Leather brown one, overpriced at 49.99. Still like it better without a case
 
why are the screen protectors not covering the entire screen? i've seen slight spacing in other iphone screen protectors but that is to much space left not covered. what brand is that?

It's because most of the screen protectors are rigid and hard, especially the glass ones. Since the iPhone 6 screens curve downward, the hard plastic and glass screen protectors can only go up to the curve. I think for a full edge to edge protection, you have to get one of the wet install skins, like invisible shield original, ghost armor, skinomi, best skins ever, etc.
