iphone 6 wallet case / jimmycase
Picked up one of these a couple of months ago. Fantastic case. Still looks new and the elastic holds tight. Very handy for a couple of cards & cash. Love not having to carry my wallet around.

Reminds me of the tube tops chicks used to wear. I distinctly recall horizontal stripe patten like the one seen on the case.

I don't think that's the reason for the cutout. No other raised lip case has this.
I think it helps remove the case without stretching it out.
For nice protection I prefer the Tech 21 Evo Mesh sold by Apple.
Cutout is on Speck CS Grip for iPhone 6. It's not on their 6 Plus case.
If it were for ease of removal, you would think they would have included it on the 6 Plus too? The Magpul is infinitely easier to install and remove than the CS Grip.
Not sure what the cutout represents, but that review mentioned it was needed so not to hinder sensors.

Interesting. Mine doesn't have the notch above the speaker on my Plus. In your pic, I can't see the notch above the sensors?
I ordered it about 3 weeks ago directly from Speck.
Case like the otterbox have no cut out.
The Apple case specs are here.

As long as the sensor, ALS is not covered nor the lip is not higher than 2.6mm it should be fine.
The ALS is 4.55mm from the top iphone edge. About 5mm for the 6+. It emits at a + 30 degree angle above the horizontal.
Correct, but there are other cases that have the cutout.
It's doubtful that it's for ease of removal, since the CS Grip for the Plus would have it as well. The Magpul is a super easy case to remove. The CS Grip, not so much.
Having said that, my case does not have the notch and all is fine.
How are you liking your Grip? I'm very pleased with mine!

Nice color combo! Which one is that? What screen protector?
Speck calls it Charcoal Grey/Dragon Green.
This is one of the oddballs that Sams Club carries. All Speck cases are $24.88 there.
There is also Deep Sea Blue/ Lipstick Pink too. Both are on other phones on Speck's websites but not listed for the 6 plus.
Interesting! Thanks for the info! #
Is that the Benks screen protector you have installed?
Then it is doubtful that it is for the light sensor, if most cases have no cut out for the 6, including the Apple cases, and they work fine.
It may not be for ease of removal as you say. Then it's a mystery, and doesn't look to great.
Yes it is. The .15 Fits perfectly. Much better and thinner than the Zagg that I had for the 6 plus. The Zagg for the 6 isn't bad but the 6 plus is horrible.
That's awesome!
I love how thin the Benks is, compared to the Zagg and others. It's very smooth as well. Couldn't be happier!
How are you liking your Grip? I'm very pleased with mine!
Yeah, it ticks all the boxes for me. A great case. I switch between that and a Media Devil sleeve. Here;
I'm using the canaloo metal clad bumper case
