I'm not really all that happy with the way this case is wearing. It's only a week old.

If natural wear bothers you then, re the leather case, you need to go for one of the darker variants - black, midnight blue or last year's olive brown. Just got the latter half price (new) off ebay, as it's discontinued. Prefer it to the saddle brown to be honest.
 
I moved to the silicone ones this year. I think they are better value. The midnight blue looks really nice.

Looks good with the space grey. I'll pick on up later. Still have the box for the Saddle brown case at work, I'll take that back and get a refund at the same time.

When was the last time anyone managed to reserve a 6s+ at any store? Not seen any available for a few days. Maybe I'm just unlucky!
On Tuesday a lot of 128 gig Pluses become available for reservation. Managed to get a rose gold one at Milton Keynes.

There's not much point in being up at 6am when the reservations go live: the bulk of the stock is added throughout the morning. I guess they are manually scanned as they arrive in the Apple Store.

Envirophone have knocked the price of my old 5s down from £173 to £147 because of "minor cosmetic damage" What do the expect from a 2 year old mobile device?? It had a slight scratch on the screen and was in mint condition otherwise. I think they lure you in then drop the price, whereas Mazuma guaranteed me the price offered albeit only £150, and their service is much quicker.

Yeah unfortunately Tuesday was the one day I definitely couldn't make it to my local :( hoping more comes in today or tomorrow or Sunday!
 
Apologies if this has been addressed already: anybody switch from 6+ to 6s+ and have a Brodit passive (caseless) mount? (part # 511661)

Brodit themselves don't seem to have gotten hold of a 6s+ so haven't confirmed if it fits the existing mount. I'm coming from a 6 so can't check (though they've said that would hold a 6s).
 
The iPhone that very said was lost has just shown up at my house gonna have to give them a call and tell them so they don't send the replacement out to me. Royal Mail tracking says they don't have when they have had it, it's just not been getting scanned properly

I have the 515660 active padded holder and my 6s fits but is a litte tighter.

I use Brodit but mines an adjustable one. I'm pretty sure you'll be fine and it'll fit.
 
whats the best case for the 6 plus?
speck shell?

I've been recommending this one.

I have a Blue leather case and I love the fact that its wearing, even after a week, I love the look of it with a few scuffs and scratches!

Better that than my phone anyway!! :)

On the darker colours I don't think it would bother me as much. I have a touch of ocd which isn't helping :D

Sorted it with very so now can use it, first impressions are Touch ID is f'n quick, it feels heavier to hold than the iPhone 6, 3D Touch will take so figuring to get the right amount of pressure, well impressed so garage phone is perfect condition with no defects as some have reported on these forums

I've got the 'equivalent' Spigen (bagged it for 99p delivered next day!), but after seeing you post this yesterday, I've ordered one and it's coming tomorrow.

I hope it's as thin as the Spigen.

I've decided to finally take the plunge. Only decision now is to put the order in today or wait until stock is replenished...
