Thanks, yeh I was looking to get on for my 6 Plus. Looks like kilcher has found a similar imitation one.

Thanks kilcher ;) Just emailed the seller to ask if he ships to the UK and whether the case contains an Apple logo. Will update.

Here's some pics of my red pu/rga leather case... Fits better than I was expecting tbh!

Good fit, no uneven gaps and full protection including the bottom.

Not sure if it's exactly the same, there's no Apple logo on the back but it has decent grip and feels just like the 5s Apple leather cases did when on the 5/5s.

eBay item number is
221563109784

Here you go. It's not retina resolution but I still love it. It's out there somewhere in hi-res.

Edit. Found a bigger version.

Well just got mine today. Two words for anybody considering this.

STAY AWAY

These are not as represented. The pics MZD posted are generous as best. Both of mine keep the lock button pressed constantly. Are very clearly poorly made and all around just suck. I'll be going through the return process right away. I'd rather take my chances with an apple case than these even if they protect the bottom.
 
good luck with the return process!
sorry to hear yours didn't work out.
i'm still using mine - the buttons have been fine. i guess i got lucky. sounds like their qc is probably non-existant. did you get black as well?

Yes I ordered black and red. eBay said they have a few days to respond. If they don't I'll open a paypal claim. I have no doubt I"ll get my money back at some point. It was worth the risk and if the lock button didn't get stuck I'd probably be using it.

I purchased this case from Ebay (heres the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/321527077967?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&var=510404706139&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT)

It arrived quickly from China, and it's not too bad for the money. It certainly doesn't feel like REAL leather to me, but I could be wrong. It's a pretty standard TPU case with good overall coverage and cut outs, with the sort of leather type coating adhered to the TPU. It doesn't seem easy to peel or come off, which leads me to believe its a coating, and not glued on material. It's really hard to describe, other than it's typical TPU.

I like it for the money. It looks decent. The case alone was shot with the iPhone 6 Plus, and an iPhone 5 for pictures with the phone in the case.

What is the inside material is it microfiber? Is it just me or is this case slimmer than that fake Apple one that's being posted?

Did anybody else order this case as well, further thoughts?
 
For the ladies, the Kate Spade leather case sold at AT&T and Best Buy has full coverage and looks to be of better quality (compared to the Chinese knockoffs).

The inside is a standard TPU case. No cloth inside. It's low profile, so it doesn't add much bulk.
 
So I just got the case. The fit is not terrible, it's tough to get the phone out but it's not bad as bad as some others have said.

I've been eyeing that case for a while. Is the lip high enough to keep the screen off a flat surface when lying screen-down?
