Vaja Cases in Argentina. Yes they are made of real leather.

Just received the Diztronic matte case for the 6 Plus today. Let me start by saying WOW. Is this thing seriously 10 bucks?! The quality and fit alone should make it three times the price. It's a steal at this price, and the case is amazing all-around. It's more protective than the Tech21 Impact series at a third of the price (IMO). Buttons are very easy to press with a satisfying click, and the lip around the screen is perfect, enough to protect the screen during drops. Only con I've noticed so far is that dust seems to collect around/underneath the lip, since it's not a super tight fit around that area. But this a totally minor gripe that shouldn't be a problem. At $10, I can't recommend this case enough.
Would you please post a pic of your phone in the Vaja in the ProClip? I am ordering the ProClip and can't figure out how you are using your case with it. Also, which holder did you order? one without a lightning port? one that accepts a lightning cable? one with the lightning cable built in?
Sorry it took me so long (didn't realize you asked for info). Here are two shots of the iP6 in my holder - one with the flip closed and one open. This phone is a bit larger than my old iP4s so the case hangs down a little more. It looks like it interferes with my shifting - but it really doesn't. 5th gear just kind of brushes by.
I bought the plain holder (item #511666) which does not have any auxiliary cables and such. I just keep a spare iP cable in the car and plug it into my usb jack which is near my cup holders. Keep in mind that you'll need the mounting piece in addition to the part number I listed. They really are the best car mounts (IMO) because you don't need to permanently affix them, no damage is done to your car, they're very secure and elegant to look at (okay, as elegant as a mounting system can be). Enjoy!

I had one of these, but the all clear one. The main issue I had with it was the casting ridge on the edge around the phone.
I ended up getting a Ringke Fusion and I have to admit that it's way better than the Insignia case. I'll likely still get something else for either more thinness (Power Support), and/or a little bit more flair (Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal), but at $12 it's really hard to beat.
I know I posted some pics on the accessories section but I'll just post another one here.
I received the Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal Series for my 6 + yesterday. So far I love it. I do like the cut outs for the Apple logo. No reception issues when using the case. Also using Zagg Glass (perfectly aligned)
Sorry if the quality isn't good. Took it with my ipad mini retina.

Invisible Shield Glass(Zagg). I picked it up at AT&T with an Incipio Stowaway Adavance for $65 for both.

Any issue with this? The reviews on Amazon for this are particularly mediocre. Does it add a lot of bulk?
There seems to be 2 models, one with the apple logo hidden the other where it is let out. Of course the 2nd one is more expensive.
IMO I have no issues with this case. It does not hinder any reception issues on my end. Any case will add thickness to the device whether it's ultra thin to an rugged case. All of them will add some thickness. But it's all personal preference when it comes to cases. I've always used Spigen product and only used their product. I have never use any other brands and I don't plan on it.
A lot of reviews probably mention that they don't like the cut outs for the apple logo, but I have no issue with that. In fact, I would rather have the cut out for the apple logo. Even my ipad mini Retina has the Spigen tough armor and so for it does it's job.
Yes there are 2 models, the one with the hole in the middle that shows the apple logo is the aluminum model. The one that the covers the entire back is the polycarbonate model.
I just prefer the aluminum feel (feels like your holding a naked 6/6Plus), and knowing that if I were to drop the phone that it would protect the device. Whereas, if I had the polycarbonate, surely would break easily.
How to do you feel about the bumper, in terms of flexing. I'm concerned about the bending with the 6+ (haven't received mine yet), and I've been scouring for awhile now for a case that can put me at ease. I feel like any added metal, such as an aluminum bumper, would add rigidity to the weak points in the phone.
In terms of flexing, it's pretty sturdy and holds my phone pretty tight. I can put it in my pocket at ease and not worry about it.
My Black Ballistic Urbanite for the 6+ just came in today. I really like it. It holds the spirit of the i5 version (which i used for most of the life of my i5) although it is a bit more sturdy and protective. I feel comfortable with the case, i can hold it better, and if its dropped i have confidence it will be ok.
Yea but I don't have an issue with that and I can reach the mute switch without any issue.
If you scoure the case threads, there is one report of a Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal case deforming around the bottom of the iPhone. That user said we would try a PC version but I haven't seen if he commented on it.
All these Spigen cases are just TPU with a PC or Aluminum bumper. They won't add structural rigidity, that would require a thick, hard shell case that would be rather bulky, like a Pelican or Otterbox.
I just bought a few cheap cases of ebay figuring that in a few months someone will come out with a truly rigid case designed to prevent bending.
A big bulky case is necessarily the only way to prevent bending. In my head, I'm thinking that the aluminum band could add more rigidity compared to a bulkier case with thick TPU and PC components.
I have a theory, and I'm gonna butcher it trying to explain my thoughts of it. Picture a wooden 2x4 post. If you lay the 4inch side flat and bend it in the middle, it will flex. Flip it so the 2in side is on top and bottom, and try to bend it again. It'll flex but not nearly as easily. So if you scale this 2x4 theory down to a bumper case for the iPhone, then it would give you my theory as to why an aluminum bumper could be just as, if not more, rigid than a thicker "rugged" style case.
It's just that not many people have purchased an aluminum bumper due to the fact that aluminum can lead to a slight lose in reception
