CEX prices are based on supply and demand, presumably there are far more 6 Plus floating around than 6 cases as the plus is more popular and more people feel the need for a case with the Plus, so the Plus cases are bought and sold for less.
Got a tip for us?

I just had a better experience with my 6 Plus than i'm having with the 6S. I had zero complaints with my 6 Plus. No bendgate, no camera issue, and no display issue. It worked perfectly. Only complaint was 1GB of RAM which is why i upgraded.
My 6S Plus has an uneven backlight, a dimmer and warmer display, and of course chipgate (i lucked out and got a Samsung chip...although I'm not fussed about this one). I have zero attachment to my 6S like i did with the 6 Plus, its just a tool i have to live with for another 12 months.
Yes the 6S is superior on paper but for me..meh.

I feel exactly the same, except with my 6. My 6 had no problems at all, with this 6S I'm just not as satisfied with everything. Hmph.
I think the marketing hype has somewhat dissipated and we are seeing that the 6s is so so...IMO they really needed to improve the screen.
Also point to note will Apple stick with the same 12mp sensor for the IP7? If they do they will be left way behind in camera performance...Im sorry but deep trench isolation just aint cutting the mustard.

I certainly can't be the only person who has none of those 6s plus display problems, nor any of the other problems. I am perfectly 100% happy with it.
So far, after what 2 nights of owning my 6S Plus I can't believe I lived without this screen for so long!!!!!!!!
It's SO great having the size and the only time it has been an issue is when I realised my favourite car mount is not capable of holding it lol.
It's so fast it blows my mind and I can't believe how much of an improvement 2GB of ram has actually made!
The only 'gate' I have experienced is what I call, rotationgate! Where, while on the home screen it will rotate to landscape and then REFUSE to rotate back to portrait unless i open an app and do it there, or lock and unlock the phone in a portrait position.
Also LOVE the fact the screen doesn't light up if it's in my pocket or face down... Thought that was a low power feature but guess not!

Picture ps taken with the likes of the galaxy edge/edge plus are impressive, however I find them to be artificial looking and over saturated. I'd much rather have the natural photos that my iPhone 6S plus produces. The 6s may well be so so but its still selling bucket loads.
Honestly that's good to know it's not just the 6s plus!
Hopefully will be one of the bugs fixed in a next update.
The other thing I have is SiriVibrationGate where Siri doesn't vibrate a lot of the time I hold down for her lol. I've seen other people on the 6s/plus are also experiencing that! Apparently it's a known bug.
Yes! Some of us had problems with the whole 3D Touch and getting to the multitask window where they are all open? Finally aced it after giving up on the feature!
Same here I had rotationgate on the 6 plus and I still get it on the 6s plus on 9.1 beta 5 so I have locked the screen as it bugs me
Check online for in store reservations. I was waiting for one and last week they popped up for a short time at lakeside, regent street and Manchester stores.
Check regularly throughout the day just in case they come in.
In terms of the "Rotation Lock" bug I've locked it to Portrait but periodically it will stick in Landscape (even in PB 5).
Having said that I am generally happy with PB 5. iOS 9 is head and shoulders above iOS 8 but there's room for improvement.

That's a feature new to iOS 9. It's much welcomed seeing as HTC et al. have had it a while now.
Hi Guys
I thought I would share my in store Genius Bar experience at the Apple Store in Solihull today , I purchased a iPhone 6 from there on launch last year which started to lose battery life etc , they swapped it for another one in February this year and the same thing has happened again but worse , example of today at 11.00 it was on 100% by the time of my appointment at 15.30 today it was 16% and it had been in my pocket all that time, the guy said oh that's software I told him I had done a back up and then also did a complete reset as a new iPhone as well after as the back up hadn't fixed it , he just said its software and that loss was Normal , not happy at all, this is after apple Ireland told me to drive there to get it looked at as I have a open case with them. Where do I stand now ? By the time I got home it's about 45 min drive the battery had gone to 7 and it was not used as was driving.

I love my 6S Plus, but agree the multitasking 3D touch shortcut is so hit and miss that I don't use it, everything else with 3D touch is easy.
I'm hoping 9.1 will improve the multitasking 3D touch gesture.
Unfortunately, I wasn't so lucky. I ordered two leather cases and one of them didn't even have any packaging! The condition of that one was okay though - used, but in very good nick.
The other one that did arrive with the original packaging was actually worse, as there was a small tear in the leather on the front edge. It looked like someone was a 'little' over enthusiastic whilst removing the case from the phone and caused the power button to rip the case. Anyway, I've repaired it with a sesame-seed sized blob of Sugru (self setting rubber/silicone, handy for repairing/strengthening cables etc) and it looks pretty decent now.
Thought the 6s plus was slightly thicker than the 6 plus? So would this case be a bit of a tighter fit?
