I'm looking for this too! That said, I did get my 1st case today, the Soft Flex in Dot Gray. My Lovvitt Clearview will arrive sometime next week and I'm waiting on Speck to release the CandyShells.
Wait. That's the case I have. Except Amazon calls it the Soft Flex? Anyway, I love it! Hope it fits well on the phone.

I have one for my 5S and I love it. I bought it when I was about to head to the Philippines to do some volunteer work and it worked wonderfully. We were working in extreme heat, rainy, muddy, humid conditions. Waterproof & drop proof (short distance) as advertised. I took it into the ocean when I went swimming. I will probably get one for the 6 eventually as well. I wish it had a removable wrist strap or something though for when you do go in the water.
I will say that it is harder to hear when the case is on, which seems to be a thing with cases like this. But it didn't bother me. I mostly just texted while I was traveling & used my earbuds w/ mic when I did need to have a conversation.

LMAO, I have done what I always do when getting a new iPhone: blow a decent chunk of $$ on a bunch of relatively inexpensive cases. I just took delivery of my 1st iPhone 6 (4.7") case--the Verus Iron Shield ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LOZ5U1E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ). I also already ordered a Spigen Neo Hybrid EX bumper (as well as a Spigen glass screen protector as well as a tempered glass screen protector because of that promo code someone else posted). Once Power Support releases something, I'm sure I'll one of those too.
Holy crap, I knew the 4.7 iP6 is bigger, but geez, this case just dwarfs my iphone 5.

What's the general consensus amongst the MR community here, regarding the Apple logo cutout on the back of some Spigen cases?
I have to say, I don't mind it. I've got a white Tough Armor with the cutout and I think that the black top and bottom, with the white centre really works with the silver back/black logo peeping through.
Just me?
I don't like it. i dislike any case that has it. i don't mind the transparent cases that show it but the cut-out hole is ugly to me.
The case I originally wanted was the Incipio NGP however, they won't be shipping for another 2 weeks
So instead I bought the Spigen Capsule Case
What do you guys think?

Thanks for sharing this, my man. I just ordered the same one. Good price too.
Ditto this. Not that I would mind the logo showing, but I hate the cutouts. I'd prefer to not have a case at all, but I also know that my coordination does not allow for that!
I ordered a Spigen Neo Hybrid for myself... and some no-name soft shell for the wife... fully anticipating that I will get something new once the selection is out there.
I ordered a Spigen Neo Hybrid EX from Amazon today for my 4.7 64GB space grey that will be here 9/19 preordered. Here's the case I ordered, in the metal slate border with the clear back, no cutout:

It's going to be here Wednesday, so I'll have something in the form of my phone a couple days early

I got the Cimo Fit case with a kickstand looks pretty awesome just got delivery and feels really rich. It was under $10 too not bad at all IMO.

Apple black leather for iphone 6 plus. It will be delivered tomorrow.
I'm going with the Apple Silicone case for my iPhone 6. I chose it because
1. Color wont fade like the leather.
2. More durable.
3. Washable.
4. I like how both Apple cases have the cutouts at the bottom so I can use speaker docks and such with no problems.
5. Cheaper.
6. Silicone has excellent thermostable properties so having it in the hot sun is no big deal.

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean by "the cutouts"?

Cases with a little circle "cutout" on the back, to show the stainless Apple logo on the back
i bought this one which has a stand it was under 10 bucks. http://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Cimo-Absorbing-Protection-Kickstand/dp/B00MNI2DTS/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1410817176&sr=8-3&keywords=iphone+6+fit+case+cimo

Ok gotcha!
Seems most peeps would be ok with the Apple logo on the back of the case, but not showing through a cutout then?

it looks like this is more of a bumper case, no clear back (no back at all), based on this video posted by another user. i has been hoping it was a clear case too! the little logo tab made me think that, but based on this video, it isn't
please let me know when yours comes if i am wrong though!!
I mentioned Incipio, I'm ordering two cases from them off of Verizon's site, and no pre-order, they ship immediately!
I don't think there's much difference in the quality of the light snap-on cases. Incipio wants $25 for a $5-$10 cover. $11 for similar case from Spigen: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JH87ZSQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I didn't see any Incipio @ Amazon either. Big mistake on their part IMHO.

I love Incipio, especially the Dualpro. I'm ordering two dualpro's in colorways that aren't on any other site.
I want a red case if I get a 6. Maybe just a bumper. I like the leather ones for looks but not sure about wear.
I have both today. Can't tell the difference from one to the other without looking for a label. They've held up equally well. Feather on Incipio is 2weeks out on their site BTW.

PS Also have Elago and same story--same condition after a couple of years.

This is another big mistake IMHO: http://www.seidioonline.com/apple-iphone-6-s/9383.htm Shocked they missed the boat on launch (actually, not really, I think they have a tendency to miss new phone launches). Cases are probably one of the first thing everybody buys before or immediately after the phone.
Of course, they got sloppy after IP4 and I stopped using them anyway. Loose fit/creaking.

Just got the gray capsule case from Amazon today. Looks pretty good to me! I usually go with the black Incipio NGP (and still will) but this should do the job until the NGP is available.
