Well guys, I've tried a few thin clear cases. And so far, this is my favorite one:

TOTALLEE Crystal Clear Revealer Slim iPhone 6 Plus (5.5 inch) TPU Flexible Soft Case

It is the thinnest one that I've seen, that covers all sides, with slight lips to protect the front and camera from protruding. It also is soft, which makes it feel more cushioned, as opposed to hard plastic cases. I'm waiting for my .8mm Rock case, which looks similar.

I got the Ringke Slim Crystal today, and although the dimensions are said to be slimmer than the Totallee, its' definitely NOT thinner, possibly a little thicker, definitely feels bulkier, and its hard, so it doesn't seem like it will be as good upon impact. I'm giving up my search after trying out the .8mm Rock.

Thanks for posting looks identical to the Rock one. I too ordered a Rock one from China and just bought some stuff on Amazon really wish I saw this before would have got this instead with quicker shipping. Ah well hopefully the Rock doesn't dissapoint if it does I'll bet this one.

Cool, the Rock one looks similar to the Totallee case that I already use. I'm just getting it just in case it is really thinner. I definitely don't recommend the Ringke Slim. It makes the phone feel heavier and is hard plastic, and thicker than the Ringke. My favorite protective clear case is the Luvvitt Clearview, but for now, my daily driver is the Totallee.
 
Update: just received my .8mm "Rock" case. The case looks exactly like ones pictured in this thread, but came in a very plain, cheap, packaging. I honestly don't care about that. This case is almost perfection to me. I have found my 3 favorite cases for the iPhone 6 Plus: for the thinnest possible, that covers all sides, slight lip for the front, and no camera protruding on the back....the Totallee, and the .8mm Rock case. For more protection, without being super bulky....Luvvitt Clearview.
 
Just got my Rock Ultrathin 0.7mm TPU case for my iPhone 6 Plus. The packaging was very premium! VERY slim case... but still offers protection on the protruding camera and there is a SLIGHT lip on the front to protect the screen (just barely).

It's pretty damn thin... and I actually would prefer a larger lip on the front to protect a screen drop. I think 0.8mm would be perfect, so I'm ordering that one now.
The soft TPU definitely helps the grip. It's a lot easier to hold and still remains very thin/slim.

This will probably be my day-to-day case. My brown leather case is a lot more luxurious obviously, so I'll prob use that one at night/when I go out.

I just ordered this 0.8mm one and will post pics/review once I get it.

please let us know what you find with the .8mm style. I'm looking to get one of these, but I too wold prefer the slightly thicker lip around the front for protection
 
I have 3 different cases. One my concern is the thickness , I don't like bulky cases like the otter box. My other fear is scratching the camera so I'm really paying attention that the cover protects the camera when I put down my
Iphone. My first case was the Spigen case thin in black. It is a really thin case, it covers the camera but not the bottom of the phone and I didn't like that.
The I bought the iVapo lightweight bumper
http://www.amazon.com/iVAPO-4-7inch...id=1415536242&sr=8-11&keywords=ivapo+iphone+6

I like that one, it is a bumper with a plastic transparent protection on the back. It has almost no defect except it hides the curvy edges of the iPhone.
i recently bought the transparent Ringke SLIM And I love it. Protection everywhere, thin and you can feel that it resistant. Only drawback sometime I have the impression the case is slippery.

I have the clear Ringke Slim as well, but it feels slippery, and too bulky, and the hardness doesn't feel protective to me. The .8mm "Rock" type cases have been the absolute best "thinnest clear case" to me.

I have a bunch of clear cases and like the Totallee the most. Protective yet slim. Had not heard of the Rock case before but it looks almost identical. I prefer supporting American companies, so I would recommend the Totallee case over similar ones.
This might be a bit off topic but does anyone know of a good clear case that is heavy duty? All the heavy duty cases I have seen use solid colors. All black can look sleek, but I wish there was an all clear super rugged case I can use for outdoor activities.

I have both the Totallee and the Rock case. They are definitely NOT identical. I do like both though, with a slight edge going to the Rock. They are both very slim, but with enough coverage to cover all sides, and both raised enough for the camera and the front side. As for a clear case that's thicker for more protection, I'd go with the Luvvitt Clearview, anything thicker, I'd go with a Otterbox

That's interesting. I must have had about 8 clear cases and the Totallee was by far my favorite. Good to hear that the Rock might be another option for me. I was looking for it on Amazon but could only find 5 sellers in China and Hongkong that offer them. Is the Rock only available from Asian sellers?

What I like about the Totallee case is that it feels very secure and even a bit "grippy" without adding any bulk. Does the Rock give you the same kind of feel or is it slippery? Sorry that I am asking all these questions, but I am a bit reluctant ordering something from China or Hongkong without making sure its good.

Just to be clear I am comparing these 2 items:

Totallee

Don't get me wrong, the Totallee is a very very close second best to me. It's great, just like the Rock slightly more. The one you posted from Amazon of the Rock doesn't show the size of the case, and there are different sizes. For one closest in size to compare with the Totallee, would be the 0.8mm. I purchased mine on eBay, from another dealer, but the name Rock is not advertised, but it's the same one:

I have a transparent Gold TPU Rock case I'm selling.
Brand new in the package.

I bought the Spigen Air Jacket before the Rock arrived. I much prefer the Spigen.

Do you mean the Spigen Air Skin? If so, isn't that one that doesn't cover the bottom of the phone, nor is flush with the protruding camera, and has no lip to protect the front?
 
Anybody using a 0.8mm clear TPU case for the 6 plus? Rock only sells one for the regular 6. Would love to see pics and hear about it.

Thanks!

Where can you buy the 0.8mm rock case for the plus? All I can find is the 0.7mm on eBay..
 
ugh why can't anyone make a 0.8mm hard case. i keep looking at the ringke slim but the 1.0mm lip is just too much. i don't set my phone facedown, ever. so the lip to me will just get in the way and catch my facial hair.

these tpu are junk and warp or yellow quickly
 
I though I'd post a quick update. I purchased a Rock off Amazon to compare it to my Totallee case.
Rock: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NIUIGUK/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8
Totallee: http://www.amazon.com/TOTALLEE-Crystal-Revealer-iPhone-Flexible/dp/B00NDA27SM/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless

I liked the Rock. It is similar to the Totallee. They are both nice and clear and about the same thickness. They both adequately protect the protruding camera without adding bulk. The Rock seemed to have picked up a bit more lint and already looks a bit older than my almost 2 months old Totallee case. That's really my only issue with the Rock. I would recommend both to people that like clear cases, but would rank the Totallee higher. I think at under ten $ you can't go wrong with either.

Thinnest clear case for 6 that camera barely doesnt protrude?

Try this one. 0.3 mm but with a ridge around the lens to protect the lens. Ultra clear flexible TPU. No lay on the table, so very slim and no overlap on screen. Also will not crack. No scratches so far and has good grip. Not many problems with fingerprints either.

Very inexpensive but well made. Available for iPhone 6 and 6+

What do you mean by "ridge around the lens"? I can's see anything special around the lens.

Are you saying that it has enough lip on the front so that it can lay on its face, but still protect the screen? And enough on the back to protect the protruding camera?
 
Case for docking station?

Talking of thin cases, does anyone have any idea where I could find a case to use in harmony with my docking station? Apple silicone cases are the only ones I can find with the bottom of the case cut out to allow use with a docking station. I begrudge giving Apple another £25 after recently buying the iphone 6 and the ipad air 2!

Thanks in advance

There is a ring of raised material around the camera flash area that allows some clearance to keep the camera lens cover ( made from hard sapphire ) off a table. See photos. It is not much, so don't abuse it, but it's there.

The second photo shows clearance with a 'straight edge' over the lip around the flash. The lens is beneath the line.

Some other photos shows how superior this case is to maintaining the size of the raw phone elsewhere. Precision holes over the speaker as compared to a speaker slot in other products.

However there is NO front lay on the table protection. This is fine to me, as it gives the feel of a naked phone.

It fits snugly and not loose. However it is thin and flexible. Quick delivery and less than $4

No, it has no front lay on the table protection.
