Will old iPhone 6/6 Plus cases fit the 6s/6s Plus? [MERGED]

Anyone tried with the Incipio Dual Pro yet ?

Their site says the case fits both the 6 and 6S but I was wondering just how tight is the fit on the 6S.

Sorry for the confusion. I meant to write "I can confirm that the otterbox defender for an iPhone6 will fit on an iPhone 6S." My wife's 6S fit in like a glove. No forcing or anything when snapping the hard case closed.

Thanks - your original post makes sense. I didn't read it thoroughly. :)

I picked up my 6S Plus this am and tried purchasing Tech21's Evo Elite case. It did not fit the phone properly. The case sat flush with the screen providing no support if it were to be laid on its face. I ended up with the Apple's black leather case.

That's pretty much how it fits on the old 6 plus too. Not much of a bezel and very little face down lift.
 
FYI... The new 6s+ DID NOT fit in the Mophie Juice Pack case for the 6+. I got it to go in, but had an extremely tough time getting it out. It was too snug. I thought I was going to damage the new phone.
 
My Power Support Air Jacket for and AFP screen protector for iPhone 6 both fit on the 6s. The case was a bit tight when installing, but fits very well once on. Haven't tried taking it off yet though.
 
For anyone wondering, the Pelican Protector case from att does fit on the 6S Plus. It's a bit snug, but it seems to be just fine.

Can confirm that a 6s fits in the otterbox defender case that our 6 was in.

Did you notice the keyboard and screen isn't nearly as sensitive in the case? I'm debating getting a new case since it seems like the otterbox is squishing it too much.

Haven't noticed any difference at all betweenhaving the 6 or 6s in it ... both have the same amount of "squish". My wife has had an otterbox defender since her 4s so she's very used to it. I go caseless and find the "click" of her case pretty noticeable but figured that is the price of protection.

That's true. I had the 4s in an otterbox before this, but it just seems to take a little more effort to type. You're right though. I would take slower typing over a broken phone any day. My otterbox kept my 4s in pristine condition for 4 years, no matter how many times I (or my toddler) dropped it, lol

Switcheasy Numbers fits the 6S but there is less space above the bevel around the screen since the 6s is thicker than the 6. With my 6 I use the numbers case along with the invisibleshield glass screen protector and the case goes above the screen protector (so that when you put the phone face down the case is touching the table rather than the screen protector). I think that with the old numbers case and the 6S the screen protector would touch the table (haven't tried it, going without a screen protector for the time being).

HOWEVER...Switcheasy seems to have updated their site now and have a NEW version of the numbers case along with another new case specifically for the 6S. So hopefully those are better because I really like the way this combination works on my 6.
 
before buying any just check the description, the company or seller always mention if it is compatible, mostly the new iPhone 6 case work with 6s too.

I am using the Incipio NGP for the iPhone 6 on my 6S. No problems at all. Fits great.

Their new numbers case is a bit of a disappointment. No integrated dust plugs. Glad to hear the old one fits the 6S.
 
FYI, my Rhinoshield bumper was sadly not a great fit on my 6S+. It was so difficult to take off I was worried I was going to damage the phone.
 
HEY!
someone can tell me if the new silicone case attract lint like the case from last year ?
(should I get the silicone or Leather? which color?)
 
My otterbox defender for my 6 plus does NOT fit the new 6s Plus. It was a very tight fit and two of the clips would not snap properly. I was hesitant to squeeze it further and the gap between the plastic cover and the screen was still there. I'm returning the defender and going with the Spigen slim armor 6s Plus version plus the glass.tr slim glass screen.

I can confirm that the X-Doria Defense Shield case fits the 6S Plus. I was a little worried because the Amazon description didn't indicate that it would fit the s mode, but it fits really well. I was a little tight going on but there are no issues with the fit.
 
My Incipio offgrid express which I bought for use with my iPhone 6 works with iPhone 6s
 
Will the iPhone 6+ leather case fit a 6s+? I can't find any 6s cases locally and i don't want to wait 2 weeks of Apple to ship me one.
 
I'm wondering about the Tech21 as well. I am coming from a 5S to a 6S and the fit on the Tech21 case for the 5S seems much better. The Elite case doesn't seem to come up and around as much as it should. The silent switch is so recessed and difficult to reach. As mentioned above, it almost sits flush with the screen
