Got the Rugged Capsule and Neo Hybrid Carbon in the mail yesterday and I think the Neo Hybrid is going to go back. Sides feel too slick with the 6+ in it and if my hands are completely dry then I can see myself dropping my phone pretty easily if I am trying to use the phone one handed. The Rugged Capsule has a better feel in hand for sure since the matte black TPU is on the sides as well as the back. I think for $10 on Amazon the Rugged Capsule is the better of the 2 and I will probably pick up a Candyshell Grip in place of the Neo Hybrid.

How is the tactile feedback on the buttons of the rugged capsule?
 
Anyone tried ROCK cases before?

I think these navy blue ones look pretty nice. $4.79 shipped. Also have silver and gold.

I ordered this as a secondary case. I'll post once I get it as to its fit and quality. Looks good tho.
 
Hmm. My experience definitely varied from yours. I bought the original version of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Air Cushion Crystal Clear case back in September 2014 and have used it off and on along with a Spigen Neo Hybrid Gunmetal case. I used the Neo Hybrid more overall, but I would guess I used the Ultra Hybrid clear case for around 3 or 4 months of the time. I have never noticed any yellowing anywhere on it and just took a close look to make sure and still don't. The only complaint I have with it is the integrated slightly thinner "button" areas instead of having real buttons like the Neo Hybrid has. They always gave a rather mushy feel when trying to use the power and volume buttons. Other than that I thought it was a great case.
Yellowing is a problem with the crystal clear cases. It's a known issue. Did a lot of research. You're lucky if it didn't happen.

How do you like the Rugged Capsule? Do you also notice that the sides have a somewhat give to it? Like somewhat flimsy sides?

I would definitely say the sides are a bit flimsy, like dirt and dust can easily get inside the case just from being in the pocket.

Does the clear back look like it sticks to the back of the phone when it's on? Because I had a clear tpu case for my Note 5, before I exchanged it for my 6plus, and it looked ugly on it. It looked like there was water trapped between the two where it was touching the back of the phone.
 
This is what I'm going with. All for under $10. The glass screen protectors were $1 each on Amazon from a "sponsored" post on Facebook. The Spigen case was $4.75 from Amazon when Spigen had their sale a few weeks back. The UPS man needs to hurry up!
