You guys can all tell yourselves that the 25 cent piece of polycarbonate or TPU was worth the $30 that you spent on it and you can pretend you know what it takes to CNC machine a case out of a solid block of titanium! You are right it's not a case its a piece of artwork that happens to protect the phone if it does happen to take a fall!

I don't have nor plan to get one of these, but I believe that if it fell on a reasonably flat surface like a sidewalk there will not be contact between concrete and the aluminum or glass of the phone. the impact transmitted through the case to the phone may cause damage, but isn't that the case with all but the most radical high protection cases.

Titanium is very premium and hard to machine which brings up the cost. I do however agree that the markup on this "case" is way to much.

That picture of Sean Connery is hard to look at. I regret having looked at it.
 
I won this case from a Thanksgiving giveaway on Rockphone's facebook page. It's the "Elite Series" leather wallet case and it feels really nice. Only thing is after filling the slots up with cards and money the flap doesn't close very well. Other than that the case feels very high quality and fits very snug.

P.S. shame on myself for almost posting a boltjames style photo. :(

thats like buying a $2000 car and then spending another $3000 on rims.



The company that makes it is mod-3 and the case is called the radius case. The model for iPhone 6 is $79 and the 6 plus is $89 and they come in a few different colors and finishes. The titanium version that I have for my 6 plus is $249 I know OUCH!! I emailed the company showing an interest in their cases and he sent me a 10% off code the next day! Very impressed with their communication and blown away by the case. Only down side is packaging for such an expensive case is an afterthought and you have to be very careful with the screws cause they strip really easy.

I'm guessing your talking about subsidized price? Anyway my 128gb 6 plus is $1000 phone and the case was $225 so your analogy makes no sense!

Is that to prevent bending issues? LOL

It's the only way to have the feel of a naked iPhone with drop protection and I personally think it's the best looking case out there for my taste. Now that I have installed a matte skin under the case I have total scratch and drop protection!

Sorry for the delay.

It's custom case by Case-Mate. The picture is the famous "The Kiss" by Gustav Klimt...but you could put any picture you want on it, including yours if you choose to.

Thank you for that one sir, just ordered one for myself with a different design. Will post it up once I get it. Hope it turns out, the preview on their site does not show 3D versions so its hard to tell how the wrap-around will look.
 
I don't know much about cases but this was on sale at Target today, the sale ends tomorrow so I figured I needed a case after getting my iPhone 6 at best buy and they didn't have much selections. So went to Target with my family and found this, seems pretty cool. Anyone knows about speck cases?


(Used my mother's iPhone 6 to take it, tried with my iPad mini, the camera sucked on that one lol)

I can't comment on that particular case but Speck cases are pretty well regarded in general. I had one of their clear back she'll or cases for a previous iPad and it faired pretty well.

The candy she'll grip for the 6 plus is a fine case. However, it scratches to hell so quickly. In a matter of days the glossy section is highly scratched.

What Speck case would you recommend then? Or this is fine?

The grip you speak of, wasn't at Target. The choices were a pink case and this one lol, since I'm a guy, I went with the black case.

the 6 plus only comes in the grip. I do like the case, but the black scratches to hell very quickly

I went to Target and returned the candy shell card case and went to Best Buy to look for the grip one you speak of for the iPhone 6.
Unfortunately they ran out for the black/gray model. So I went ahead and got the Candyshell black/gray instead. It's much better and less bulkier than the candy shell card case. I like this case a lot. :)

I haven't used any of their iPhone cases so I can't comment on them.
 
Very nice case but, again, these Candyshell cases tend to scratch very easily. I just bought a Candyshell inked case on sale for $26.99. It's gonna get scratched up a lot but, this time I don't really care much considering the price tag. The only color that faired well was the white on my old 5.
 
That looks good for the iPhone six. Unfortunately they don't make it for the 6+

Returned it at Best Buy when I saw the faceplate tonight at my local AT&T store, asked myself if I should go for it lol. WELL i did :D

Sorry about the crappy quality, took it with the first gen iPad mini lol.
