I always go back to it as well. I have a Tech 21 case as well, which I use for the "tougher" situations. However, my everyday case is the Apple Case.
Got a tip for us?

case to me.
I'll agree (on the 5/5s version) - that started to restore my faith in Apple's ability to make a decent first-party case. It did seem that the thin strip around the headphone jack was susceptible to damage if you weren't careful, but otherwise it felt good and looked great. When it came time to get the 6, I was planning on a leather case, but decided to try the silicone one and was very happy - it did wear in the corner and Apple replaced it without hassle (which is very nice, considering some case manufacturer policies). I may still get a leather one eventually.
For what it's worth (and really not to nitpick, I swear!), I got the one for my 5 at Target when they stopped carrying those and were unloading them - I think it was something like $20, but varied in price and availability store-by-store.
I have both full coverage and case friendly versions and would like to know as well prior to installing. Don't want to applying it knowing it will peel right off when installing a case.
i hated the small lightning cut-out on the 5s case... I find the bottom-open design of the 6 case perfect. It plays nicely with 3rd party cables and docks, and has kept my iPhone 6 pristine despite multiple drops.
Yes please post pics! Hard to tell on the site but is there top and bottom protection?
The main benefit of the Apple case is that it doesn't add too much bulk to the size of the 6 Plus. Also some colour combinations do look great.
That being said, I'm not a fan. I have a red leather case which just felt gross out of the box, I'd constantly want to wash my hands after using it. Now its starting to get marked up and there appears to be no way to properly clean it.
Considering just getting a good quality sleeve for pocketsand using the phone itself careless.

I find it hard to score a good copy of the black leather case. For $50.00, it should be free of nicks, scratches, waves, and obvious gathers at the rounded corners. I know that I'll wind up imparting my own character on the leather, but at least it should start out in cherry condition for the bones Apple gets.
I don't know if I'd feel comfortable with the word "Shinola" emblazoned on the back of the case. It makes me think of this.

I've heard that phrase more than once back in the day. I didn't know there was a real Shinola until now.
