Picked up a Diztronic case (and Zagg glass screen cover) up on Amazon. Pretty good quality and has already proven itself to be a champ when dropped from a few feet.

Really good grip and the matte finish looks nice. Buttons press very easily, pretty solid case.

Was thinking about getting one of these. Would love to see pictures of the phone in the case if you don't mind. Cheers!

The white/gray Commuter looks nice with the white faceplate. I just got a Speck CandyShell in red/black - I love it. It's no where near as slippery as I was expecting! It's a thin, protective case that looks good (granted the back will get all scratched up but I don't even care). I think I'd also like to get the blue/black color too.
I added the white/gray Commuter and like it -- do you have a pic of the red/black Candyshell?

@Icyhot1966: $70 (steep) and it feels great. I own 5 different cases by now and this one is definitely the best. (One person's opinion :) )

I never held the Apple leather in my hand so I can't compare the two. But this one feels "comfortable" and "sturdy."

Ask and you shall receive. Speck CandyShell in Red/Black. I'm really a HUGE fan of this case (also own the grip version and like that too). I'm sure the back will scratch up like previous models but it's still awesome!

PS - Meant to quote your pictures before of the commuter. That's what prompted my comment - the white/gray in the silver iPhone looks great!

Oh, that looks sharp.

Did you buy it locally or online? May have to order one if I can't find it in a store somewhere.

I did buy it locally - Sam's Club of all places! Had to stop by this weekend to pick up a few things and noticed a Speck display ($23/$24 a piece - not too shabby). I think they had a total of 3 colors available: Black/Black, White/Black and Red/Black. I was a little worried about the hard plastic but it's very easy to hold and not slippery at all. I'm hoping they get in the Blue/Black version soon because I will definitely be picking up that color too. I think the red/black combo looks great - it's a nice deep, dark red and not a orangey/pink red.

Now you guys see why I like Speck Candyshell cases so much lol

I'm right there with you buddy! I've loved the CandyShell since my iPhone 4S, wasn't a HUGE fan for the 5/5S (it wasn't bad) and am back in business with the 6. This is definitely my favorite case. Now if I can just find the blue in stock somewhere local (or even a coupon for Speck's site), I'll be all set!

For all the Candyshell owners I am curious, how is the front lip by the charging port holding up? I've owned several Candyshells in the past and this seems to be a design flaw where the lip by the bottom front near the Lightning port breaks off.

Didn't have that issue with the one I used on my 5 -- don't see how it could be a problem though I had heard that before. Wouldn't have an issue ordering one for the 6. :)

It may be hard to see in my picture if the bottom but they did away with making that plastic, it's all the rubber material now. It's a little ridged and seems to hold its shape well. I've taken my case off several times (replaced my screen protector) and haven't had any issues. It's a great case. Sam's Club has 4 colors in stock. Check one out in person of you can!

I'm going without a screen protector at the moment and liking it. I have the silver so the smudges and fingerprints don't show up as bad. The black I always used one to get rid of the smudges

Went back to take a look at the Commuter again. The first one didn't fit well but those were the first batch. This one is much better!

My other cases are the Tech 21 Classic Shell (smokey)

And an Insignia clear/frost slim case from Best Buy (nice case for $15!)

I was always a big fan of the commuter. I may go back and see if they have the updated ones in stores near me.
