Beautiful, but I'm leery of sending CC authorization of $162.00US to a web site in Slovenia:rolleyes: Especially when they have no other contact info. than an email address.

Speaking of emails, I submitted one through their web site a week ago and never received a response. Not to mention that "500-piece-llimited-edition" BS.

Oh well, if it smells like $h.t:D

I've always had the finish wear off very quickly with these cases. Anyone have the same problem?

Anything with a matte finish will rub off.

I got a silver back spigen so my black iPhone will look like the original ipad. I miss the silver/black combo.
 
My wife and I have been using Apple's leather cases so I think we'll stick with those for the new phones. The blue and brown look really good on space gray.

I was looking at this case as well until I went on the Spigen site and found out they're making a metal version with a Space Gray color listed as coming soon. Same MSRP as well. So I'll wait for that if anything.

As for which case I'm getting for now, I went ahead and bought the Verus Iron Shield in Titanium Silver

Do you find that the rubber edges starts to deteriorate as you keep pulling it out of your pocket? I've stopped buying them for that very reason, it's a shame it's a good case.



I'm getting a tpu case this time, as they're mostly thin - most likely this

No case.

Every year I buy a couple of cases, and every year I throw them out after a couple of weeks. I just hate the look and the feeling of wrapping my beautiful device with some combination of cheap plastic.

Only in specific use cases, like going to the gym, will I ever put a case on my iPhone.

The iPhone is a tool, which should be treated with care but not babied or wrapped in protection. The best protection you can buy for your iPhone is Applecare+ and some common sense in how you use it.

For those that buy cases just to maximise their return when they sell the device next year, it's not worth it. iPhones retain their value, the money you spend on cases offsets the extra $50 or so you'll get for having a 'scratchless' iPhone.

This is just a pet peeve of mine when I see so many people wrapping their iPhones with ugly, thick cases. Some people are scared to even take their iPhone out of the house unless it has a plastic cover on it and a screen protector. Down with cases!
 
I am not sure about getting a metal case when I need every bit of signal I can get where I am at. I did order two 6+ Spigen cases, the Neo Hybrid.
 
I've never used a case for more than a week after trying one. They're all ugly. Mine stays on me through vigorous outdoor activities, so Apple Care is my case, and it looks the best. I've dropped my iPhone on concrete, and it has a few dings on the edges, but i've never had a single scratch on the screen, and even the back is free of scratches. I like having wear on my iPhone, as long as it's not intrusive, which its never been.

Mophies are too expensive when you can just put a $20 Anker Astro Mini into the coin pocket of your jeans and charge your phone in your pocket on the occasions where you'll be away from a wall or car charger.

If the iPhone 6 is as slippery as some reviews are saying, than a case could be warranted to improve the grip and the chances of breakage.

Good point. I've also been told NFC doesn't work through metal cases if anyone's planning on using Apple Pay.

This is a solid bumper case. I always like bumper cases because they offer pretty solid protection in terms of having the raised lips on the front and back and still allow the slim/sleek appearance to show through.

It is super nice. Love that the volumn rocker, and on/off buttons are still metal, so it makes the case feel higher end and less like a "case" when on the phone. Can't wait to see it on my actual phone though.
 
My Apple black leather case arrived yesterday. Looks and feels nice but I hate to completely cover up the back. May get a plastic one later that shows more of the phone.

I bought this Ultra Hybrid Series Spigen case in black for $18.99 from amazon, got it sunday, is really really nice.

I have always liked cases that are as thin as possible but have a little lip on front and back and have a clear back.
