No I still have the 6+ but how snuggly its fits now, I can't see it fitting on anything bigger.

It slides in without any extra force. It takes some effort to get out for 2 reasons.
1. it is a little snug
2. the design of the battery pack. When the top of the pack is removed it's next to impossible to pull the phone out without mashing on a button or two. There are 4 pads in the battery pack to ensure a snug fit for the 6+. I have been contemplating introducing them to my dremel.

ok in the video I show the model number and the the phone sliding into the pack using two fingers.

My spigen tough armor still fits fine. Although with my glass screen protector on now it sits almost flush with the case when I turn it upside down, where as before I had a little bit of room.

Mine does the same with the Dawise GSP. Any thoughts on any other cases that might have a bigger lip?

Interesting.. thanks for that
 
I am thinking of buying the Otterbox strada case for my iPhone 6s but the case in the store is for the 6 not S. On the otterbox website they have a strada case for the 6s. Is this just a rebrand of the 6 case or a brand new case made for the 6s?. Will the "old" case fit the new iPhone?
 
Just another data point: the Otterbox Commuter from my old iPhone 6 Plus fits perfectly on my new iPhone 6S Plus.

I've read several reports/reviews that Spiten's metal bumpers negatively affect signal reception. Have you experienced this?
Not at all. I read those too, I've had zero problems with WiFi, cellular signal and 3G/4G.

I wouldn't let it worry you. For the protection that the case offers, I wouldn't get anything else. I can't see me ever taking the case off either to be honest!

This is how the iPhone 6 leather case looks on the 6S on the camera cutout... I bought it because it was on sale for 15$

Recently switched over from iphone 6+ to 6s+ , while my old Spigen [Perfect-Fit] Slim case did fit in on the new 6s, but it took some extra effort and its trouble some to take it out, I tend to fear a bit of damaging the power button while I tried to take it out.

I will like to know if the URBAN ARMOR GEAR Case for iPhone 6 Plus will fit ok on it? Want more protection, since I had broken my 6+ screen and don't want to repeat it again.
 
I've been searching for a good carbon fiber case for my iPhone 6S and I came across carbone and likecool cases but I learned that the material used in the carbon fiber causes loss in reception so I gave up on carbon fiber cases.. Then I stumbled upon PITAKA® Premium Aramid http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00Q9O9WW8?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00

  • Made of 100% Aramid which is one of the strongest materials on earth
  • Ultra-thin, slim profile with thickness of about 0.03 inch. Ultra-light,less than 0.36 ounce
  • Strong, luxury, durable and resilient. 5 times stronger than steel at the same weight
  • Exceptional scratch resistant coating, providing pleasant and smooth touch
  • Absolutely no interference with Wi-Fi, GPS and signals. Good heat dissipation capability. No toxic substances, more Eco-friendly

Since the sides of the case does not extend pass out from the front screen of the phone I thought I would mate this case with a good screen protector which also can absorb shock
Just Mobile AutoHeal Self-Healing Screen Protector also from Amazon


you can see the impact absorbing test at 34 seconds into the video.

What are you guys thoughts on this?

How is it on the front- do you still get enough of a lip around the edge to allow laying the phone down screen first without the screen touching the table?

I exchanged the case for the same one and now the camera is centralized, it was the case that was not aligned.

And for the front, it is good, I compared the lip with the 6 and it is the same, that was one of my concerns.
 
I've tried two "6/6s" cases on my 6s -- Incipio DualPro and Spigen Air Cushion. They both made it extremely difficult to trigger the power button, so I returned them. My Apple Silicone 6S case does not have this problem (though it is too slippery, which is why I've been searching for an alternative case).

I wonder if these third-party cases have this problem because the 6s is slightly thicker than the 6; and thus they're not truly suited for both models? I've used the Incipio DualPro on an iPhone 6, and the power button works just fine...

The Pitaka cases are very nice and you can get them with Amazon Prime!

The old original iPhone 6 leather case is much better than the new 6s case.

Better grip. Better quality and cheaper.
 
Ordered a ZooGue Social Pro that is sold as a 6+ case for my new 6S+ today, a few of the reviews on Amazon state that it does indeed fit the 6S+. I had this case for my iPhone 6 and it wasn't a very snug fit so I guess it will be same for the bigger phone making it a more snug fit on the S model.

I believe you can take a look at Maxboost Vibrance series. I think they have revised it for iphone 6s. They might send you a free one if you join their VIPU program. I got mine free from them.

Mophie just sent an email on their newsletter that all the cases will fit the 6s.
If it is a hard case, it would be a tight fit. And the power button might be hard to get to.
[doublepost=1452636822][/doublepost]If those brand don't revise their hard cases, it would be hard to get the case on and off.
