I got my iPhone 6 just a few days ago and stupidly went and bought a case out of fear is break it that same day. The one I got is an Invy Polycarbonate case, it's matte black and has a really high bezel over the screen so the protection is great but the bulkiness actually makes it difficult to move apps from screen to screen, which also impedes gaming and really just makes the phone feel incredibly chunky and a pain to use which is not what I want from an iPhone.

Anyway, I'm going to return it, but in the meantime I wondered if any would know where would be a good place to look for the type of case I want. It seems like Belkin is dragging its feet with cases since there's only the Grip case out and I literally can't find any photos of it, but with my iPhone 5 I had one of their cases, though I can't tell which one. It's similar to the Grip one, but with total button cutouts on the top, bottom and side. It's a lightly flexible plastic with a nice matte finish - it was super easy to grip, easy to put on and remove and protected my phone from drops and bring face down on tables and the like.

But I can't seem to find anything that fits that bill for the 6. I've looked at the Case-Mate Barely There and it's close, but I worry that it doesn't have a high enough bezel for good screen protection. I have the same concern over the Incipio Feather, and the Spigen Thin Fit (though its bezel is 0.3mm which seems just right - it's more the design I'm unsure of).

I like the design of Pong's Sleek case the best, but the fact that it's apparently really heavy is a big concern (I wish I could get one without the antenna/radiation business). I like matte black, I like fairly rigid shell cases, I like to have access to the phone's buttons directly, and decent grip is important. I don't have access to any of these so I can't really get a feel for them, which is always important, but I also can't afford to order them and then pay to return them either. I know I'm being incredibly picky (Belkin had better choices this time two years ago so I'm not sure what the deal is, but if anyone can let me know what their iPhone 6 grip case is like that'd be fabulous) but I know exactly what I like and would prefer to have it, if at all possible. I suspect I'll compromise at some point but I thought I might be able to get some advice here. Thanks in advance! (And sorry for the length of the post)
