The iPhone got bigger. And you want to put it in a case. I never even used a case for my original iPhone, 3G, 4, or 5, so why would I start now?

They don't make them so nice looking to cover most of that up with a case.
Let's see, 3 kids below 6 yrs old, loves playing with my phone, that costs around $1,000 off contract... You better bet I'm getting a case for my phone :)

I went with this clear case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00M3QA9AU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Slightly frustrated wi the case logo, but it's available fore the iPhone 6+ ships, making that more of an importance for me. Anyone get the clear case brought JE direct?

I order the iPhone 6 Plus Case, Spigen® [Perfect-Fit] iPhone 6 Plus (5.5) Case ... http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JH831DO/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_gN.eub1H4KEXH

Supposed to come in on the 19th :D

The reason I didn't go with his case was the gap in protection at the bottom of the phone. That's the Achilles heel of these types of clear (or not clear) cases.

That case looks like it adds a lot of heft, otherwise I'd like it. How much does it increase the width of the iPhone?

It's a lot thinner than you would think from the pictures. On my iPhone 5C its barely noticeable width wise. As thickness (or depth), the bumps on the back do add some thickness (not nearly as much as the pictures make it look like) but they have never bothered me as you don't feel them when you hold it in your hand.

Edit:

I got that exact slim armor case. Came yesterday. Like it. Kickstand is a little extraneous - steep angle and too hard to get out.

Got the spigen neo hybrid too but ordered one with aluminum band. Like that more even with logo cutout.

I don't have prime so my order arrives on the 19th - can you post a few pics of the slim armor case? Curious about the color and the angle your talking about.

Thanks

I wonder if Caudabe has a Veil planned for the 6/6+

They do. I emailed Caudabe and got confirmation. They didn't give a date but said it was soon. That's the one I'm waiting for. I got a 6+ and I think anything other than the Veil will just add bulk to a phone that's already really really big

Can you post pics of this? I'm leaning towards this case as well!

Nice, thanks for the info. Loved it for the 5S And will certainly be getting it for the 6+. A great case overall, not to mention their insanely good customer service.

Got a magpul for 5s, nice minimalist case. Always surprising how much more sturdy they feel on than off.

But don't think it has enough style to be my daily driver. A little plain jane.

Bump or field case?

Hopefully it will be a field case. That's what I have on my iPhone 5 and had on my 4.

I bought this for the 6. It's a fantastic case but can't see it available for the plus? ImageUploadedByTapatalk1410633086.538248.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1410633112.205791.jpg

leather pouch

I like to carry my phones naked in a leather pouch with a belt clip. I've used Sena, Vaja, Marware. Haven't found a decent one yet for the 6+. Any ideas?
