I've never had more than one case for any of my iPhones. It's always been an Otterbox Defender. The Defender on my iP 5 has only been removed 3 times in 17 months to clean the screens. The last time I removed it, my phone looked brand new. Never needed any other case. Besides, this Otterbox Defender is difficult to remove. :D

Do you use a screen protector under the built in one ?My otterbox leaves marks on my 6 and I find myself cleaning it every other day.

Just got a Spigen Neo Hybrid Metal case in Red for my iPhone 6. Love it! Thin and looks great. May order the Apple leather case as well. Either brown or blue. Hoping these will be my only 2 cases for this phone. Had WAY too many for my iPhone 5.

I change cases with the seasons. Winter and hunting I use the lifeproof. After hunting season I use my Apple leather case. Summer and Kayaking, it's back to lifeproof. Occasionally I use my Otter-box defender.

I'm using Rock thin clear case for my Silver Plus. The back had a raise 0.5mm to 0.8mm (not too sure) to protect protrude cam. The front have a lip too.

I mix and match every so often, throughout the week I'll use 2 maybe 3 of my cases switching them around lol I often buy a new case just to keep it looking fresh!

Whoa. I normally have 2+ cases per phone but I like this Tech 21 Impact Mesh so much that I may hold off on getting anything else for a little while. We'll see.

That's the case that I have and it is awesome. It looks really good on the iPhone too.

Been using my BookBook this week. Really starting to like it. Don't know if I'm going to use it over the Tech 21 for the long haul. But I like it.

I change cases like mad but it isn't for aesthetics. Once I find a case that offers the right amount of protection and feels good in the hand, I stop. What this usually means is that I go through a ton of cases on the first version of a new design, but don't have any issues for the "s" series that comes out the next year.

Hrm, can't seem to edit my post with the imore app. I left out that I do change cases if I need a waterproof case. That is one situation that trumps comfort. Since I almost never go boating anymore though it isn't an issue these days. If you do boat though, I suggest one of the ugly waterproof cases that float.

I have to say as I have been for the past 2-1/2 yrs. Since the BookBook for my 4S it's a wallet case I've always loved. The build is just outstanding and I'm glad I got it for my 5S. It's mostly where my phone lives nowadays....and it's breaking in sooooooo nicely too
