I had the field case and wasn't a fan. It is very flimsy imo and stretches out over time.
Got a tip for us?

Well that's not good news. Ugh. What are your concerns with cases? What do you like and what do you not care for? Also, what else have you tried previous to the Bodyguardz?
You name it I tried it unfortunately. I want a tight fit case with a camera hole that doesn't show the antenna lines.
I like the Thule, Speck Candy Shell grip and Otterbox Symmetry. I will say though that this is my favorite by far
Also, how about the Anker SlimShell? It's $10 on Amazon and it looks to be essentially the same design. I wonder what the quality is like and how it compares to the Bodyguardz. This is the one I'm referring to.. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013WQ8K4G/ref=ox_sc_act_image_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A294P4X9EWVXLJ
Can't speak for that one. The other benefit to the bodyguardz is it is military drop tested.
I tend to go with clear cases.
I received: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010MVJWCI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 as a freebie through a Facebook promo, but it's too bulky, and I don't like the TPU texture.
So I ordered: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00THYD0PW?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
If it's "the one", I'll order a couple as back ups.

Can you post some pics of clear and rose gold? That would be great. Does the rose gold match the Apple Rose gold color?
Here's the Rose Gold Spigen on my wife's 6S - note that the sides are slightly tinted, but the back is clear - also the front has the Tech Armor which is very clear, and has the same tactile feel as the glass (it leaves like a 1mm space uncovered between it and the side of the case):
I did try the mighty shell and liked it. However, the camera hole was getting close to the odd tech21 size, which is a bother to me.
It's the Ultra Hybrid, here's the exact product link at Amazon:
http://amzn.com/B012PK0ZU2
$12.99, Prime (free one day shipping!), seemed like a bargain, especially with the really positive reviews. Neat side effect: the bumper glows with the flash/light on - it's a cool effect if you turn on LED flash or the screen on and sit the phone face down. Speaking of, it's got nice clearance between the glass the resting surface.
Mine is the same model, but clear (I can take a pic if you're interested). I actually wanted the clear gray, but it wasn't available until 2-3 days after I got my phone, figured this would do and provide protection OOTB (the clear was only $11.99 for the Plus, so I figured even if I only use it for a few weeks, it was still a decent deal).

I have the clear/white Tech21 case, but I am finding that it is adding more weight to the S Plus, how is the weight on yours?
Weighed my phone, it's 7.9oz with the case according to our postage/coffee scale
So the 3oz specified on Amazon is way off.It doesn't "feel" heavy relative to the size if that makes any sense.
I had it out of the case for _maybe_ 15 minutes, so my experience with it, is in the case since we got our phones on Saturday morning.

Here is what the Tech21 Evo Mesh looks like on my 6 gold. The Evo Mesh has a smaller camera hole cut out than the older Classic Check model
Ordered it! Can't beat free shipping and wireless charging. Does it provide solid protection and covers to headphone and charging ports?
I'm having the complete opposite experience with this Magpaul Field case I just got tonight. It fits really good and I feel it's just as protective if not more so then the Bodyguardz I tried at the AT&T store. I'm returning everything else I bought from Amazon and keeping this, may even buy a second one for safe keeping.
