Spigen Slim Armor/Tough Armor vs. Otterbox Defender for iPhone 6?

Looking at getting a case for the iPhone 6 as a Christmas gift for my 14 year old niece & I'm wondering what would be the better case brand? I personally have a LG G6 that came with a Spigen Tough Armor case and she liked the design/look of it when I showed it to her, it also got a kickstand, but i'm having some confusion when it comes to the iPhone 6 models, looking on the Spigen website, the Slim Armor got the kickstand while the Tough Armor don't, would be $40 Canadian to get the Slim Armor (I'd get it in Pink/Rose Gold for her) or, Canada Computers got a Tough Armor in Black on clearance for $4 & the picture shows a kickstand though the Tough Armor should have no kickstand, it's the Slim Armor with the kickstand & the part number (SGP10914 ) don't return any results when I search the official website, another possible option is a Otterbox Defender also on clearance for $5, of those option i'm not sure what option to choose, would like something Pink/Rose gold & kickstand would be a bonus along with protecting the screen from cracking in the event of a fall/drop:

Options:

Rose Gold Spigen Tough Armor w/o kickstand, $35 US from official website/$20 Canadian from Amazon.ca:

Edit: From what I can tell, the Spigen Tough Armor for the 6/6S got no kickstand while the 6+/6S+ model got the kickstand, looking at the overview of the Tough Armor w/ kickstand from Canada Computers mentions the 6+

I wouldn't get the Otterbox. Very few people actually need the "added protection" it provides, and it makes the phone pretty cumbersome.

If the CC store is local to you, I'd definitely grab the one on clearance. Unless she's in love with the pink.
