Where did you get it? How much?
I had a Griffin reveal on my 5s after trying may different cases. Griffin was by far the best.
bought 2 spigen cases, one was the 0.4mm thin clear case, the other a slightly thicker hard case. the thinner case still has the camera sticking out so i used the thicker one instead.
no screen protector tho, it's the most important part of the phone, the screen. gotta use it in all its nakedness. lol

I don't like and don't use screen protectors but I put my space gray iPhone 6 in a black Apple leather case. Looks and feels great. I did use it naked in the mall for awhile before I got home and it looks awesome without a case. I wouldn't be very happy with its first scratch however, even if minor.
Pretty happy with my spigen neo hybrid case. I was expecting to order a bunch more by now but I'm going to stick with this for now. The back is super grippy which is the most important thing for this phone. The 6+ is the slipperyest phone I have ever owned.
I picked up a Modal Case and the Zagg Glass screen protector from Best Buy today. The Zagg protector has beveled edges to match the phone, and looks great on the phone. It was a Zagg Glass that saved my 5s from having a cracked screen (the Zagg broke instead), so I'm sticking with them, especially on my 6+.

I'm waiting for Twelve South to come out with the BookBook for the 6... Hopefully soon. Then I'll decide which 6 I want
as its a little bulkier... But don't want to carry around a man purse to have my phone in
Have that case for the 4S and like it a lot. The cover protects the screen too so might not get a screen protector and just get Apple Care+

I actually bought this same case (metal slate) and I love it (particularly the color which is an off dark blue)
The only issue I have with this case is that it's a bit too thick for the phone. Because the glass on the face of the iPhone curves downward to meet the aluminum back, there is a small lip that surrounds the face of the phone when the case is on. It's very uncomfortable because when you swipe to the sides/edge of the screen, your fingers actually run into the rubber case. Makes the iPhone feel constricted.
When I was using the phone without the case earlier in the day, the phone felt much better when using swiping gestures, as my fingers would seamlessly fall off the edge of the screen without the sensation of bumping into something.
Does anyone else know of a good case that actually sits flush with the edge of the screen?

I always go straight to case with my iPhones. I do too many hectic things in my life to not have a case. From riding dirt bikes to working on turbocharged trucks. Although this time around I'm not planning on putting a screen protector on.
This is the one I went with. I hope I like it.

I don't know, that might be a tough one. Part of the case is to help protect the screen and part of that is to put a lip there so that you can't set the device facedown on the screen itself.
I'm sure cases will get better in the coming months. Right now everything is all new.

Just ordered myself 1 Vaja grip for my 6. Originally bought the pleather apple case last year for the 5s that lasted a month so spent 30 more on this and it's still in mint condition. Won't ship for 10 days though:/

And I just dropped by a store and bought a glass screen protector. My annoyance is due to the beveled edge the glass screen protector is actually smaller than the screen itself.
Sort of glad there were some leaks. We didn't need to wait for weeks before seeing new cases and screen protectors.

Considering I almost dropped this thing today because it is so slippery, yeah I bought a case at BB for $15. I ain't breaking this thing. I also ordered some screen protectors from eBay (cheap ones) and they will protect it for now.
In the end, the front is going to have a ZAGG Glass protector, and the case will be an Apple leather case in black.
Same procedure I have done with my past 3 iPhones. I just don't want to take a chance of damaging such a work of art!

I've got that case and it feels loose on my 6, feels like if i dropped the phone the case would come away. Is yours snug?
