Favorite iPhone 6 Cases?

Hey guys, I'm finally getting my new phone today, a 64GB iPhone 6 (In black, of course). I'm also going to get a case for it - I'm buying an invisible shield and case tonight.

For those who already own one - what case do you use? I was thinking of going with the official Apple one, but it doesn't look like it really covers it very well. Speck's CandyShell looks nice, but it's glossy and I know It'll scratch like nothing else.

So, any suggestions? I can't go Lifeproof, my budget is around $50.

I would say to find yourself a good quality metal case. I have a $7 metal case on my iPhone 4 that has saved my phone numerous times from being damaged. Normally it wouldn't be advisable to buy a cheap metal case, but I think I just got lucky. I think my case should've been worth at least $40 by the quality of it.

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.

These are the cases that I've been using for the past several years. They are light, keep a reasonable profile and have a durability similar to otter box defender cases. And I've never once seen a bad review for them. They're extremely consistent.

Do flip cases work with iPhones? If so, get one. I have one for my OPO and it's really nice.

 

You're coming from a 4S, right? I switched from a 4 and I feel you. :( Not regretting switching to Android, though.

Yup, I'm so excited to not have to wait 40 seconds for an app to load :D

I never liked flip cases, they just get in the way for me. But thanks for the rec!

OK, just don't get an Otterbox unless you drop your phone A LOT. They look hideous and you will literally look like you have a brick in your pocket (especially if you have the 6 Plus, but that's besides the point). It pretty much doubles the size of the phone.

Picked up this because it was cheap as crap and I wasn't leaving the store w/o protection !

You may want to consider a screen protector ... The Moshi curves with the phone.
