Ha! I remember "Like"ing a post of yours recently where you lamented the larger size of the regular iPhone 6. Taking the plunge, huh? (I reluctantly replaced a stolen 4 with a 5 more than a year ago, and I'm still rueful, size-wise, so I'll be interested in hearing what you think.)

I love Senacases.com Expensive but they have the wallet case to carry your credit cards and ID. Mary K I love Sena cases too! I have a green one now and will get another one when my iPhone 6 comes! Another big Sena fan here. Honestly, I don't like the idea of ANY case 'cause it makes the phone bulkier, so it's weird that I settled on a wallet case, but the one I use has a sticky surface that the phone adheres to very securely, so much less bulk than with other wallet cases. And a magnet closure. I keep my license and one credit card in the hideaway pocket and I'm good to go. Looks like it (Sena Magia) hasn't been released for the 6 yet, though. Link

I just got a cheaply one before I ordered my 6 plus and will use it until I Find a case I like. I know I don't want a bulky one for the permanent case. For me, it defeats the purpose of having a thin phone if I cover it with a thick case. did the exact same thing. my case got delivered yesterday and my six plus is supposed to arrive tomorrow. i am so excited

I looked at them in store, and although I'm still unhappy about the larger size, proportionately the difference is greater in length than width, so I'm hopeful I can get used to it. I want my phone to last 3 years, which with a 5s would take it right up to the point where it wasn't being supported with iOS upgrades anymore. My 4s is still a year away from that but is increasingly buggy lately, so I'd really worry about the usability of a 5s after 2 years. System issues overcome physical issues in this case! Still not thrilled though. LOL.

Crossing my fingers hard!

System issues overcome physical issues in this case! Yeah, I hear you. Apple and their damned planned obsolescence. Had to replace a "perfectly good" iPad 1 recently. But new toys are fun. I'll update my spreadsheet on you.

Check out Spigen cases. I have the tough armor one and like it much better than my old Otterbox. It doesn't have that silicone outside that collects lint and stuff from your pocket and is still protrctive. I have a royal blue version of this: www.spigen.com/iphone-6-case-tough-armor-4-7.html

lovetodigi, that one is cute but not sure I want a cover over the front. jennyap, how well dot he Uncommon cases hold up. I found some really cute ones there! Thanks for the link! I hesitated about getting a wallet type case, but then I realized yesterday that the 6 Plus is to big for the pockets in my purse and I don't want it just rolling around in there and maybe the screen getting damaged. I also like that the wallet case makes a stand. It will be here today and I may or may not like it. If the Otter Boxes had been out, I would have grabbed one of those, because it would really protect the phone. The screen covers that are out there for the 6 Plus are not covering the screens completely. They are complaining about it on the Mac Rumors Forum. I like the cases that jennyap posted a link to. If I like the wallet type case, I may get one of those. I am loving the bigger screen on the 6 Plus. So glad that I switched from the 6 to the 6 Plus.

The case has arrived. I love, love love it. Can't believe that it was only $8.99. I think that I will order some more colors and a good screen protector and just stay with this case (es) for awhile. It looks good and feels good in my hands. Love that it has the built in stand. Perfect. Wish they had it in real leather, but it is still nice.

I'm not necessarily the best example as I'm not hard on my phone at all, but even so I have dropped it a handful of times. The case has superficial damage (image scraped away a bit) on the corners from when I'd dropped it, but apart from that it's held up brilliantly for me.

I'm supposed to get my phone Tuesday. I picked up a cheapy and will probably hold out for better colors from Ballistic but I've had fun checking out all these cases.

This is a great thread! I've been putting off ordering the phone until I find a case. Of course, with the waiting list, I should just go ahead and order.

My iPhone 6+ arrived today & I'm in love! I have it in a clear Spigen. The camera is amazing- I'm at our high school football game snapping away.

Elaine, glad to hear that the camera is so great. I am looking forward to that! And Renee, yes, this is a fun thread. I am lovin' the new cases I am finding! Not sure when my phone will be here. Guess I better check on the status.
