Good iPhone 6 Plus / 6S Plus cases

79wjd

I'm looking for a case that offers decent protection but that also doesn't add much bulk.

 

I've been using a Belkin Grip Candy case on my 5s for years now and it offers pretty good protection without adding much bulk. 

 

So far I'm considering between the Belkin Grip Candy Case and the Speck Candy Shell case  .

Spigen makes lots of slim cases for almost any phone.  I really love their cases.

I second Tech21. I have one on my 5 and have friends with them on their 5S'/6's. D3O does wonder for impact protection

 

Also, @djdwosk97, you can probably look at 6/6+ cases. They fit the new S models, there's a much wider selection/availability, and cheaper (for now, at least).

Have you taken a look at Spigen cases? I'd say they are a case to look at because of their price and looks, it doesn't add much bulk and offers protection.

I saw a couple -- namely the Neo Hybrid  /Neo Hybrid Metal and I like the look of it, but I've always been under the assumption that the rubbery cases offered more protection than hard cases (at the minimal bulk level). I also saw the Thin Fit case, but it seems very thin (too thin?); and the ultra hybrid.

Oh, I know. I've been looking at both to see if there are maybe any 6s+ exclusives, but there don't appear to be. 

 

The only one that really appeals to be is the Evo Band Case , or the evo mesh

I have the liquid case, which is fine. I guess it's the same with protection, the case is made up with plastic and it's rubber on the sides.

Any thoughts on the Incidio Dual Pro?

Doesn't do anything for me. 

 

I think I'm siding with the Incipio Dual Pro or Spigen Neo Hybrid Carbon. Although, I would get the Neo Hybrid Metal, but I don't think it's compatible (it's one of the few cases that isn't listed under the 6s Plus category.

I don't really care about thickness, I'm more concerned with something that isn't very wide (although I do understand that extra thickness can make a phone seem as unwieldy  as a wider phone). And both spigens are only .39" thick (about .9 inches thicker than a 6s+) -- much thinner than that doesn't really happen. 

 

Thinner cases are like the Spigen AirSkin (which is basically worthless against anything more than scratches) and the Capsule/Liquid Capsule @ .35" thick (which, I like, but I feel won't offer much protection either).

By thick case, i mean in all dimensions, I had those cases for my galaxy s6, i hated all of them, they made the phone way too wide. Stick with superslim cases or no case at all, people beg for aluminum phones and put a piece of plastic on it, where's the logic in that?
