thinking of buying lifeproof fre and that will be the most expensive case i ever own
 
Power Support Air Jacket Force from the Apple Store for $30. Previously had the Spigen Neo Hybrid (~$18 from Amazon), but after getting the AJ Force, I don't see myself buying any more cases (even though I really want to...).
 
Element Pro 6 $140
Draco Ducati 6 $100
Two leather holsters $80 & $40
Two Spigan bumpers $20 Ea.
I have an addiction.
 
Candyshell Grip when it was on sale for $19.

Don't need to spend so much for a case...
 
I just feel that to cover a design costing $700 - $800 is a travesty. A design with premium materials, finish and workmanship shouldn't be covered with a cheap piece of plastic costing $20 or less. It's a shame we need to protect it at all, but that's a fact of life.
 
After spending 1100 on the phone i just ordered a otterbox defender. I havent even taken my phone outside yet. Use my 5s for when i go out in the mean time.
 
I got a Lifeproof Fre on Wednesday. It's the most expensive case I've bought for any phone.
 
how's the fre?
any feedback?

its not bad! love the thinness compared to the 5 case. only downside i dont like is how the home button makes a sorta double click noise and how touch id isn't as responsive. besides that i LOVE it
 
The Apple Leather Case. Very happy with it on my 6 Plus. Its the 2nd most expensive case I have ever gotten for a phone (I got the Fré for my 5 and didn't care much for it). This is the perfect case for me. It looks premium, feels premium, its thin enough that I can use my 6 Plus with one hand but thick enough that if I drop it the phone will be OK. Very happy with it.

When I had my 5 at this point (4 months in) I had a wide range of cases to choose from but I kinda stopped doing that. To me, it is pointless to keep swapping cases. When I got my 5s I just stuck with my Apple Leather Case in black (which I loved) until I got my 6 Plus, which shortly after getting it (less then a week) I got the Midnight Blue case.

Also had the black one for the 5 and loved it. These leather cases didn't come out until the 5s so I had to deal with other cases that didn't like prior.

The 5s leather case is so much nicer than the one for the 6 plus. I had it in my 6 plus for a few days and was just not impressed.
