Man...I thought choosing the iphone was tough.

First liked the Verus/Spigen Metal Hybrid, then hear talk that it might affect reception and nfc. Then the regular Neo Hybrid folks say feels cheap. So many choices....
 
Apple's black leather case for the 6. Close call between that and (Product)RED. I thought about Olive Brown too, though.
Shame about the bottom end not being covered, from an aesthetic point of view – even if this may be better for accessory compatibility I don't use any.
 
I ordered 2 Spigen cases. One Neo Hybrid and a Thin Fit with the apple logo window.
The Thin Fit is smaller in width and height, enough that when placing the Thin Fit over the Neo Hybrid, you can see the edges of the Neo Hybrid underneath it.

Both feel very well made, but I've had many $30+ cases not last a year. Now is the time to buy them though, they are all price reduced on Amazon but won't be for long.
 
Which Cases are You All Getting with Your New iPhones?

Just got my spigen case. Gonna use this case for now til my UAG comes in and maybe will get Switcheasy case too.

I wish they would make the aluminum sided cases without the logo cutout in the back.

Just a guess, but you can probably get both cases and switch the bumpers to get what you want, then sell the remains to someone else
 
I ended up getting the Spigen with the kickstand for my 6 Plus. This is the Azalea Pink. It feels good in my hands. I don't have big hands but it doesn't feel massive. Can't wait to slap my phone in it Friday.

Has anyone ordered the Poetic Atmosphere or Invellop clear case? I'd like a clear case but would want a kind of frosted plastic rather than a shiny plastic that will collect tons of scratches? Just curious if either of those fit the bill or if I'll just go with the leather Apple case on Friday

EDIT: Decided to order the Invellop since the pictures looked like it was exactly what I wanted and it would get delivered on Friday with a Prime trial

It sure looks massive. Lol
 
The Shumuri Slim Case

Wow I really like it. I will have to get this one, I like that it's 360 protection. I hate when cases don't protect the bottom. No matter how much I baby a phone something always dings it with that open space.

I ordered the Spigen Neo Hybrid in grey. I got it yesterday and I really like it.
 
My husband was teasing me about how big it looks! I'm moving up from the 5 to the 6 Plus. But i don't think it will take too much adjustment.
Definitely I mean better battery life and camera plus you're a female, so easy to just toss in purse or handbag. If I was a female it would be an easy choice for me.
 
Yep! Mine will be in the purse or bag so sticking it in my pocket isn't a big deal. My husband teases me anyway because we're a house divided. He's an Android man...Samsung.
 
Spigen Neo Hybrid case came today. I like it. Here are a couple of comparison pics while we wait for Friday.

Glad they didn't color their label white. This is different from their marketing pics on Amazon.

Sidenote: Pics of the G2 were taken with the IP5. The rest with the G2. All under identical lighting conditions. The G2 took better pics IMHO.

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

I ordered this one as well, mainly because I hope it gives my phone some drop protection since I'm bit of a clumsy person.

If it doesn't feel good I guess I'm gonna order some other spigen case when they are back in stock.
 
Used a Urban Armor Gear case on my 4S for over 2 years, decided to try kickstand cases this time around since I always found it cumbersome trying to prop the 4S up on things for viewing videos and such. Ordered 2 cases to try out:

Thinking about buying a UAG case. Never seen or heard of them before last week. Outside the kickstand issue, did you like them?

The case has held up very well, it can be a little difficult to take off but I leave mine on 24/7. I wouldn't recommend it if you want something you can quickly swap out or remove for docking purposes. The only issue I have experienced with the case is occasionally the case will slip off of a corner (like the phone pops out of the case a few millimeters), usually happens with the top right corner. I don't know if it's just the case being slightly larger to accommodate removal or if the design or manufacturing was slightly off. Regardless, I don't see a single scratch or mark on my phone as a result of using the case and have never had a single crack in the glass.

How do the kick-stands feel? Does it seem like it will be sufficiently sturdy once a phone is in the case?
