OK, went ahead and got the case I originally wanted, same brand/model, but with a gray tinted bumper section (Space Crystal), definitely the exact look I was going for
Looks like I have a extra mint clear crystal case available
I got the same one. Very happy with it. I had the crystal clear one last time and it turned yellow. Returned it and the second one did the same. Space Crystal is a bit tinted so I think it'll hold up. Great quality case too!OK, went ahead and got the case I originally wanted, same brand/model, but with a gray tinted bumper section (Space Crystal), definitely the exact look I was going for

Can u show a picture. I'm thinking of getting one and want to see a real life photo. Thx...
Currently I am using the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Crystal Clear case on my 6S Plus, and I am really liking it. It doesn't seem like it will provide very much protection, but it looks fantastic. I have 4-5 cases coming my way in the next few weeks that I am testing and will be reviewing so we will see how I feel about this one as compared to those.
I really like how unobtrusive this one is and how slick it looks. The buttons work well, and the cutouts are perfect and make the ports/switch easily accessible.
It is a little slippery at times, but nothing too bad. The last complaint I had was that it doesn't have quite as raised of a front lip as I was hoping, but it still has a small one to protect the screen if placed face down. If I were playing devils advocate with myself, I'd say that this keeps it at a slim profile and makes it feel closer to naked. I gave it 4/5 overall and would recommend it to those looking for a clear, minimalist case.

Where did you pick that up I ordered one from Amazon they sent me a spigen perfect fit 6 plus case sort of like that only with flat buttons just slightly different than the ultra hybrid crystal clear 6 plus/6s plus my wife got
Same experience here. I bought a Field Case for my 6S+ and I'm in love with it. Fits perfectly, no sagging at all anywhere, very tight cutouts, feels premium and sturdy in the hand, and it looks great. Probably my favorite case I've ever owned for a phone.
This model (like my clear one, and the wife's crystal rose in the previous pics) is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. It's neat because the back is PC (so smooth and clear), but the sides are TPU (so soft/grippy). There's the UH which has clear or tinted bumpers and the UHT (T = "Tech" I believe) and that has a solid plastic kind of insert in the bumper, pretty cool.
Anyway, here's the product for the 6S Plus:

Actually the Apple white silicone holds up really well. TPU is what will yellow and pickup stains. Silicone has totally different properties and cleans up nicely. Think about all the silicone utensils and baking items that don't stain even from being constant contact with food. I had the white apple silicone as my main case for my 6 Plus for many months and the case wiped up and still looks like new.
Thanks for the pics. I just have a personal issue with the silly antenna lines and cases that show them. One of the reasons I am loving my bodyguardz case
Disclosure
Anker provided their ToughShell for iPhone 6s Plus without cost in return for an unbiased review, and I promise that is what follows here.
Packaging
Anker's product packaging continues to be as thoughtful as anything Apple can design. Opening the ToughShell package was pleasant and looked classy.
Look
The case looks rich and professional. The design appeals to my own preference of solid, well-built understatement. Even the Anker emblem is embossed in a classy-yet-inconspicuous way.
Build quality
The materials used are of very good quality. It looks good and feels just as good. No mushy feeling air gaps under the shell. I don't think this aspect of the case could be any better.
Feel
Lightweight and smooth, which is good for easily gliding in and out of pockets and purses. It's easy enough to hold while using, but some might prefer a less slippery feel. This is a subjective preference, of course, but buyers might want to be aware of this.
Protection
The back and sides are well protected. The corners feature built-in shock absorbing bumpers that should offer adequate protection from a usual drop. The front offers a raised edge that will most likely protect your phone from a drop onto a flat surface. The barely there design for the front bezel helps the iPhone maintain its aesthetics. Some people (like me) might want that front protection to be a tad deeper, but it probably protects the phone just fine. This design makes it easier to swipe in from the edges to take advantage of iOS features. Deeper bezels can get in the way.
Fit
The ToughShell fits the iPhone 6s Plus like a glove, and installing it on the phone was a breeze. The case holds the phone just about perfectly and with confidence. A drop will not dislodge the phone from this case.
Use: Access to buttons
The volume and sleep/power buttons are covered by the case, but pressing any of them is simply effortless. The button covers are designed to be flush with the case. This is great for aesthetics, but it's not so easy to locate the buttons by feel. I imagine this would become easier over time as you get used to the case.
Use: Access to ports/mute toggle
Accessing the mute toggle, headphones jack, and lightning port are very easy. While they are not covered by the case, they are recessed for protection.
Here is the only real criticism I can find for the ToughShell case: Anker's own lightning cables will not fit into the opening for the lightning port. I tried Anker's 3ft, 6ft, and 3ft braided lightning cables, and none will fit. If you pull firmly up on the front lower lip of the case, you can manage to connect Anker's cable. But this is an awkward chore that requires one more hand than most people have. Meanwhile, Apple's OEM lightning cables fit perfectly. Go figure.
Conclusion
I can easily recommend this case to any iPhone 6s Plus owner. If you're looking for this level of protection, Anker's ToughShell appears to offer great protection and professional looks for a terrific price point for an excellent overall value.

Very nice case. The ultimate deal breaker is (sigh) the exposed logo cut out.
Wound up with a different Spigen case, probably _don't_ need this one - anyone interested?
The issue that I have with this case is that there seems to be moisture that gets trapped near the apple logo on the back. It's not a huge issue, but definitely stands out.
IMO, Magpul makes a very good case. I started out with a field case on my 5s and then I found some closeout specials on the Magpul Bump case and I really love that one. The Bump has a hard outershell with a softer lining molded right into it. I like it so well that I bought a couple more in different colors. Yeah, I'm a case freak.
