What case are you using for your iPhone 6 and 6 Plus?

I'm upgrading my wife and daughter to the 6 today and have to make a decision between 6 and 6 plus for myself. I've read all the articles and watched all the videos. I have handled both a number of times and each has its positives. I want the bigger screen for work, reading and gaming but I'm nervous about the size and carrying it daily. In the end I think I'll go for it though. What case are you using? I don't want to add anymore size than it already has but want to protect it.

I'm using Urban Armor Gear case with Zagg glass screen protector. I also opted for 6 plus. In my uniform, my phone slips right into my front pocket and is not bulky at all. UAG case keeps the slim profile.

Good luck on your decision it appears you did your homework [emoji4]

A minimal case would be my choose

I've been using the apple leather case with my 6 plus and really like it. It fits well without adding bulk and has a great feel to it. It offers some protection (I've dropped it a few times) without compromising size.

Good Luck with your decision. I decided to go with the iPad Air2 for now, but who knows what the future will bring....SMILE

You could also look at the Apple silicone case. Provides more grip than the leather.

I'm using a very slim but protective clear case on my 6 Plus by Spigen; (Ultra Hybrid Air Cushion). There is a little lip on it to protect the screen from drops. For a screen protector I put on the Tempered Glass ScreenGuardz Pure by BodyGuardz. It's easy to apply on the first try and looks great on the phone. A lot of people don't know I have it on when they ask to see my 6 Plus.
If you need something to carry your 6 Plus in while you exercise look in to the "FlipBelt". I have been using it for a month now and love it. I can go on long distance runs and forget that I'm even using it as it is very comfortable....... Here is a link to it for anyone that would like to check it out: https://flipbelt.com/what-is-flipbelt

My 6 Plus sports a Tech 21 case and ZAGG glass. I also have a UAG Maverick, which has a smaller profile, but I don't feel it offers as much protection as the Tech 21.

I've been using the Apple leather case and loving it. That being said, when Lifeproof finally comes out with their case, I'm going to give it a look-see.

I have the Otterbox Defender case. I like the holster, being able to keep on my belt rather than pants pocket.

It does increase the thickness, but makes it easier to hold without worry about it slipping out of your hand.

I have noticed a gap between the phone and the plastic protecting it, but I'd rather have that than applying an actual screen protector incorrectly.

I'm using the Incipio Stowaway for the iPhone 6 Plus because it has a kickstand and I can just carry my phone and leave my wallet at home. I find the iPhone 6 Plus very thin and slippery, so a case makes it easier to hold.

Same here, Midnight Blue leather on a gold 6+. Never heard of Lifeproof, faved their web site, will def look at their 6+ version when it's available. Great looking case, thanks for posting.

Using the official leather case on mine...looks great, and I feel more comfortable using the phone now as opposed to those few days I went case less. Actually considering purchasing the official silicon case as a backup, read that it supplies an even better grip if you can get past the less the fact that it's a magnet for lint.

I'm using an otterbox commuter only until the lifeproof for the 6+ is released ... I got the lifeproof for my dads 6 he's getting for Christmas and it's crazy thin and has NO bulk whatsoever

Thank you everyone for the awesome suggestions. Unfortunately, I didn't come home with an iPhone today. My daughters 16gb iPhone 6 will be here Friday. Probably looking at next week for my 64gb 6 plus and not sure on my wife's 64gb iPhone 6. For some reason I don't have an estimated date on that one yet. As long as it's before Xmas she will be happy though. She isn't like me when it comes to tech.

On a side note, I went to Best Buy first since someone told me they have what I needed. I could not find the iPhone displayed anywhere. They had a section for iPad and Macs, but no iPhone to be found. I never even had someone approach me as they were understaffed. Not even that busy and nobody even approached me. I did check out the Note 4 while I was there. It got my attention and even had me second guess the iPhone a little. I have gone that road before and always come back to the iPhone though so iPhone 6 plus it is.

You will be stoked with the 6+, traded my 6 for it and couldn't be happier. I tried a few different cases but ended up with the Apple Leather case and love it.

You will love the 6 plus! I am currently using a leather case made by Kavaj, a German company, but it's available on Amazon. It adds minimal bulk, provides medium protection, looks incredibly classy, and at $29 it's cheaper than the Apple leather case. I just bought the folio version as well. There are two slots on the back of the cases for credit card/business card.

I have the red Apple Leather Case plus Zagg Glass on my 6 Plus. The case does not add anything to the phone, but it provides enough friction on the back of the phone without being slippery when using the phone with one hand. I highly recommend the Apple Leather Case.

Now, I really need a weather proof case and I am waiting for LifeProof to get their act together to come out with the Nuud for 6 Plus. LifeProof cases will be the thinnest case you can get with maximum protection.

Hope this helps.

Apple silicone case. Love it

Spigen Neo Hybrid EX Case (No Back Panel)

Spigen Neo Hybird and a Diztronic TPU Case in Black for the 6+.

I use the speck grip case on my iPhone 6 and LOVE it! Best case I've ever had, even when I shop around to see what else might be out there I am always drawn back to this case. Would buy it all over again!

I highly highly recommend the Otterbox Symmetry for 6 Plus. No real bulk and great grip. Also doesn't bulk up phone.

I also came from 6 to 6 plus and loving it!!

I'm using the spigen tough amor case, slim but protects the phone!

Speck Candyshell grip case. I've dropped several iPhones over the years. They all had a Speck Candyshell on them and they were always well protected with the case. It adds a little extra bulk to the phone but the protection is worth it.

Diztronic matte black (and the blue one as well) case and an OtterBox Commuter for the 6 with a Zagg glass protector.

I am very pleasantly surprised with the Speck Candyshell Grip for the iPhone 6 Plus. It provides me with increased confidence to execute one-handed use. Also, at least for the black-gray version, there seems to be an optical illusion that makes the phone look smaller.

I use a premium case from best buy which looks like a seidio case. I also use a tech 21 that I got from VZW on my 6 plus. Also have the zagg glass screen protector.

Thank you for all the great suggestions. Some of these cases I have used on other phones but I will look into all of them. I'm sure I will end up with a dozen cases anyway. Lol. I always do. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Spigen Tough Armor. iP6.

Made it about a day with my apple leather case. I just really like the feel of the OB Defender. Just feels like a great case to me.

I am using the OtterBox Defender. Ever since they started in 1998 I have used their products. Even though mine is being replaced because of the air gap issue, I have seen my iPad Mini get dropped from 3 stories on to concrete and survive in a OtterBox. So I will deal with a small issue and head ache for the protection. I also work in a manufacturing facility so something tough is a must.

I just picked up the Thule Atmos X3 for my 6 Plus this morning from Best Buy. So far I am very impressed. I had the black Speck Candy Grip, but it was a scratch magnet.

Just received this case from Amazon for my IPhone 6 Plus. Attachment 72458

I have a 6 and i'm actually using a cheap $8 CaseCrown case. CaseCrown Lux Glider Case (Black Obsidian) I like it just fine. it's matte black and a not really slippery. It's a two piece hard plastic and the bottom comes off. The openings fit the oversized headphone plugs on my aftermarket earbuds. Wasn't a fan of buttons on the side but honestly It's not even an issue. They work fine. I know people go for the expensive stuff but that just wasn't me. I just didn't feel like spending a ton on a case plus i figured by the time this one starts to go the name brands will have hit the budget section at Marshalls and TJMaxx and i'll grab one for $9. I also am pretty careful and don't drop my phones so i'm not looking for something bullet proof. It adds a bit of size which i like because honestly, the 6 is too thin for me. The first week i had it i was so nervous cause I kept feeling like i was gonna squirt it out of my hand. Not fancy but it got the job done for me. Oh also I looked at a similarly priced Spigen but, one, it wouldn't arrive for a month due to being backordered and two i read was very very very thin. Regardless this is fine for now. Oh i also had a 4s with a CaseCrown and when i traded it it looked pristine. Granted the case was showing a lot of wear and do to the large old plug at the bottom the thin plastic above the plug eventually broke off. So i'm not expecting this thing to last forever.

Using Diztronic Matte Black

I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid Aluminum version and a Spigen Slim Armor as a backup. Both are great and add nearly no bulk.

I'm personally waiting for the Lifeproof Nüüd for the 6+. The Frē for the 6 is available in white & black as of last week, so it's only a matter of time. Hopefully by the holidays it'll be available.

I'm loving my otterbox defender. Only problem is the iOttie in my car doesn't open wide enough. It fits, but way to hard to remove.

I am waiting for the Nuud case as well because I need a weather proof case for my outdoor activities. But I seriously doubt it will be available by Christmas or they would have been promoting it right now. Absence of promotion means it won't be available this year.

Well, I gave my daughter her iPhone 6 this morning. Coming from a 4s, she is in heaven. Dad is a hero!!! lol the 6 does feel great in the hand. It is the perfect size. I still believe that I will utilize the larger 6 plus and it will be worth it though. Still waiting on it to ship though.

You're such a sweet dad! Well the good news is you can always exchange the Plus if it ends up being too big, but I'd bet fake internet money that after a day or so you'll adjust to the bigger screen. When I took it out of the box it was enormous! But now it just seems normal to me. Can't wait for your update when you finally receive it!

Im thinking of getting spigen neo hybrid when i get my 64gb Black Ip6+. Used it on my note 4. I am switching to iphone 6plus.

I have a 6 Plus Neo Hybird. It's a cool case but it's somewhat slippery the bumper and the back of it. I find that I have to use a certain one handed grip with it.
The Diztronic TPU case I have has a good grip to it much better one handed than the Neo Hybird IMO. The Neo is very light and adds no bulk.


Sent from my iPhone 6 Plus using Tapatalk

I've got the Diztronic case too, like it quite a bit.

Otterbox Defender. I've used on on every phone I've had since they debuted the Defender. Never had any issues with broken phones and they always look flawless when I go to resell my device after my contract. Highly recommend the Otterbox line. Defender and Commuter are both awesome cases.

Ok. My iPhone 6 plus comes today!!! I missed the notification email somehow with all the Black Friday and Cyber Monday emails I have been getting. I don't have a case yet!!! I thought I had some time so I didn't decide yet. I will have to pick up something at Best Buy today and then order what I really want. So many good suggestions on here. I want to order them all. LOL. This is the most excited I have been for an iPhone since the iPhone 4.

I went with a sleek Moshi case for my 6+.

I have a cheap clear one on at the moment as I'm waiting for my Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear to arrive. I'm also going to pick up a tech 21 case today when I'm out.

For normal use a Fitbag leather case (german manufactor) and a normal slim plastic hardcase.

For an event or shopping day: Louis Vuitton sunclass case MM (fits perfectly)

I've decided to get another Tech 21 case for the time being; I love their cases. Just don't think it'll fit with my slickwrap on it.

Congrats! Enjoy your new phone!

Black Apple Silicone case on a silver 6

Awesome case waxlabo! Where can I get one?

Using a caseology slim rugged case. It's not bad but the buttons are a little stiff.

This Insignia case that I bought from Best Buy is actually pretty nice. I have a Slim Armor case on the way and just picked this up to have something. I actually like it. Not a lot of protection but it's slim and comfortable to use. Buttons feel great too.

One thing I don't like is the mute switch is a bit hard to access but I don't find myself using the switch often. It takes a bit of getting use to installing the case but once I got the technique down it isn't a problem removing and changing out the case when I feel like.

This is beautiful.

This just came today. Fits great. Doesn't add a lot of size but feels like it would protect from drops pretty good. The kickstand is a cheap plastic. Feel like it could break easily. It's made to snap off under too much pressure so that might keep it from breaking. The buttons all feel great. Easy to press. It's not too slippery. Easier to hold than the naked phone but not as easy to grip as my other thin case.

Bottom line is I like it. I'll give it a go for a while. I'm sure I will order other cases but I feel like it's well protected now at least. That kickstand will be nice for FaceTime and conference calls for sure.

You can grab this one on Amazon for about $18

Using Apple Silicone for my iPhone 6+ in black I didn't like the quality of the leather case I originally purchased.

I am currently using a Spigen case for my iPhone 6. However, it will be temporary until I receive this really cool case I just backed on indiegogo!
It's a battery case AND can withstand drops- since I'll admit I'm kind of clumsy. They also have non- rugged one I think it's called the maven?

Picked up this Totu case for my wife's 6 Plus. I tried it out over the weekend. Fits great. Provides grip, protection and it is not too bulky. It was about $10 on Amazon.

I had a Apple Leather case on my 6 plus, along with a tempered glass screen protector. Two days ago I shed the screen protector and a day after that the case came off. Phone is absolutely amazing with how thin and smooth the curved glass feel.

A lot of people talk about the risk of using your iPhone naked and how likely they are to drop/break it. For me the downside of not using the phone the way the 6 plus was designed to be used outweighed the risk.

Either way, the Apple Leather case is the one I'd use if I was to slap a case on.

Went back to the Apple leather case. There's just something about it I really like.

Currently using the UAG case with a glass screen protector but Im eventually getting an Otterbox Defender.

I picked up the OtterBox Defender last night. My other iPhones always had a Sedio case, but I haven't seen the model come out for the 6 Plus yet. Anyway, I'm not clumsy but I wanted something that really protects this beautiful phone and although the Defender clearly does, it feels a little overkill for me. I also don't like the attached screen protection, as I have to push down a little harder just to swipe/operate the screen. I'm going to give it another day or so, but I think I might keep looking. I want something tough, but definitely less bulky than this.

i picked up the spigen neo hybrid metal version as well now, also in champagne gold.
looks really nice and feels great in the hand. and i didn't have problems to put the case on my phone.

I use an Original Apple Silicon case (as I did when I had the iPhone 6) I personally feel that a case with grip is very much needed with the 6 plus & it doesn't add any bulk to it. It's not cheap though.

I have the clear Casemate Tough Case. This phone is too awesome to hide, but I am also not big fan of deductibles. So, I have found a happy medium.

If you want something a bit thinner the Otterbox symmetry is a very nice case.

OtterBox Commuter or Symetry?

I am actually thinking of getting a wallet case, considering the PadAndQuill Bella Fino Bella Fino case for iPhone 6 Plus or I might go with their Luxury Book Case The Luxury Book for iPhone 6 Plus both of which look pretty cool and will keep the extra stuff out of my wallet I don't need to carry.

I have used a few phones naked without any issue. Maybe I will do it with the 6 plus eventually. It's just so slippery. I feel like I could easily drop it. Not worth the risk to me. I assume you have not had any issues or are just not worried about it? Some people don't care if it gets banged around a little. I'm envious of them. Lol.

I definitely care but I tend to baby my electronics. I found that after a few days of using it naked you get used to it. Also since I've gotten the 6 plus I find myself using phone while walking less and in situations where I would probably drop it. I find that most of those times I probably shouldn't be on my phone anyways haha.

Also looking into these wallet cases. Loving the strap close on the luxury book

Phones to slippery for me without a case. Since day one I've been using the pretty basic apple leather case. Like it a lot as it looks very nice however not a lot of protection especially for the front. Yesterday I decided to order a "Nodus" wallet style case. Be my first time for this style of case on any phone. I like having the screen protection when the front is closed. Hope its not going to be an annoying case, but has the landscape mode folding stand, so that will be kinda nice. A very high end leather case anyway. Coming from England so I don't expect it for a week or so. Hoping I like it, my first wallet case ever.

I had the P&Q Bella Fino for the iPhone 5 and it was great quality. The 3M adhesive never failed and was easy to clean. However, the wallet style case made typing with both hands slightly awkward (for me) due to having to hold the wallet part folded back while typing.
