The quest for the perfect iPhone 6+ case

FieldingMellish said:
Zoogue Social Pro cases made all the difference in my handling of 6+. It has all criteria of the OP with exception of stiffness to help keep the phone straight. It's for moderate drop protection and it is easy to remove if you want to do a color or case change if the mood strikes you, whereas removing the phone from my UAG could have been sufficient cause to accidently bend the phone while doing so. Excellent grip with Zoogue and it does not show finger prints. $10.00 at Amazon, and I bought a second case direct from Zoogue for $5.00 on sale.

Are the Zoogue cases TPU, rubber, or silicone?

My experience with TPU cases in the past was that they would pick up staining quickly with no ability to clean. I.e. I had a white Noot case that I really liked but it would stain quickly and would never come clean. I literally tried everything from alcohol, to bleach, to solvents to Polident cause I really liked the case. But nothing would clean the discoloration. My daughter likes the Candyshell cases and the TPU parts again would stain rather quickly.

Do you have pictures? I guess black is the safest color then.

I don't have any current photos as I've stayed way from TPU cases with my 6 Plus due to my staining experience with past phones. I actually think I had a Zoogue dusty pink case for either my iPhone 4 or 5 but ended up with white polycarbonate white cases to keep the slim form and match the phone.
 
My clear frost Zoogue's clean as a whistle despite lots of handling. Amazon reviews are mostly 5 stars with a few 4 stars, nothing less. Some reviewers have used Zoogue's for years.

I second this also. I started out with the Ringke Fusion on my 6+ but found the Zoogue Social Pro has become my daily case. The grip is fantastic, it doesn't show smudges or fingerprints, doesn't stick to your pocket and has a decent lip.
 
Alright guys!
I got the Speck candyshell grip yesterday, which is surprisingly fast considering that that it shipped all the way from California to Stockholm in a week!
Quick notes comparing it to the Spigen Neo Hybrid:
1. Almost the same width, maybe a bit thicker and little bit heavier.
2. Fantastic grip! One handed usage is no longer a problem! Finally! Now I can use the phone properly!
3. Feels a lot sturdier than the Spigen. I think it'll be more protective, but of course I haven't and won't test that. There a lot of videos on that on YouTube.
Posting some comparison pics. They are not the best and only meant to give you an idea about measurements.

Hi guys!
As a newbie to the forum I thought I may get some help with something that has been dwelling on my mind for quite some time.
I'm a happy owner of an iPhone 6+ since launch day. I've been using the phone in a Spigen Neo Hybrid (not the metal one), which so far only have been a tremendous disappointment. It's too wide and VERY SLIPPERY for the phone to be handled comfortably with one hand (and with that I mean just scrolling and so on, not typing). I've been surfing around for a new case and so far only the Thule Atmos x3 have caught my attention. It has mostly gotten great reviews although I'm afraid it might be a bit too wide. Anyone's thoughts on that?

What I would like from a case (in random order):
1. Fairly good drop protection (and protection for the phone not to bend!).
2. Not being too wide.
3. A lip on the front.
4. A GRIPPY texture!!!
5. No open cuts on either end (like the Apple cases).
I only use propriety cables and no docks.
If someone would share hers/his thoughts I would appreciate it!

It sounds like your describing the Speck case.

How are you liking it so far? After a week with mine, I'm really happy and satisfied. When I try other cases or feel other people's phone, I *really* notice the lack of grip. This case has a really satisfying build in my opinion.
 
Hi!
After four days of usage I'm convinced that my quest has finally ended! The case meets all my criteria and surpassed all my expectations! I strongly recommend this case to all you 6+ owners out there! I'll update later on to report on how well the case endures the test of time!
Have a great weekend!

I am currently using the metal neo hybrid in silver and am very pleased.
 
I'm still loving my Speck CandyShell Grip. Showed it to some coworkers and one has ordered one for her phone too. The grippiness was a plus, and my dropping my phone on purpose on carpeted floor at work sold her.
