Best Heavy Duty Rugged Case for iPhone 6 and 6+

I've had my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro for about 6 days now. I really like the case, but it seems that a lot of dust keeps getting in behind the screen. Anyone else notice this?

I received mine today and knew right away I'd be returning it. I don't know how people can say it's comparable to the Defender. Dust gets under the screen from the home button cutout. I had the same issue with my iPhone 5s Otterbox.

It is pretty frustrating...what are you getting instead? I'm ready for the LifeProof.

I'm waiting for LifeProof too but it looks like that may be quite awhile until they are released. I'm not quite sure what I'm going to do now. I have been using the Spigen Tough Armor and it's not protective enough.

Did you try the Otterbox? I really just need a case that can stand up to my 2.5 year old!

It looks interesting and a little over $40 for the case (shipping included) is pretty good considering it has a tempered glass back and front.

Couldn't find any reviews of the case on a iPhone 6/6+ but did find one for a S5. Same case so the build and look should be similar: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhsFgfbcJ2k

As far as this pos of case goes Unless you want the glass protector to look like that all the way around you can see how it's not all way down like it lifts up. Ordered mine for space grey iPhone get sent this one with white border, if u put it in your pocket rubber bumper comes off every time you take it out of your pocket. Hate it in process getting refunded

Lmao. I was waiting for you to post your review because I didn't want to post mine. My case is the same way but also had a big scratch on the back glass. They are sending me a whole new case. I'm sure the screen protector will still not sit flush with the case on though. Oh well, if the other is the same way I'm just gonna keep it because returns are a pain. Maybe the loome glass screen protector will work better than amzers with the case on?

Did you order direct from Amzer?

I ordered two of the 6 plus cases from amazon (both white) and I'm not having the same problem.

I used the included wipe, followed with microfiber, then the sticky dust remover sticker followed by application of the glass. After that I used the card to push out any bubbles.
Been on for over a week and still looks perfect. The only problem I have is the cover slips off at times.

Yeah I did all the same things. I ordered directly from Amzer. How long did you leave the glass screen protector on before putting the rest of the case on? My screen just wouldn't sit so I just took it off. I got another one coming like I said so if that one doesn't work oh well.

I had just a little "bubble" on the lower left side that came out with the card. I then put the case on.

Hope the next one works out for you. So far this has been my favorite case as I like the tempered glass feel compared to traditional plastic screen protectors.

The only thing different, was that I ordered mine through amazon (just so I could have them as a mediator in case it didnt work out)
 
Yeah I really like the feel of the case. But the screen protector needs to stay sealed. I already ordered another glass screen protector in case it doesn't and I will try the case with that one on. If it don't work I might buy one of those Rokform aluminum cases.

Take out built in screen protector and buy a $10 glass screen protector off amazon?

The screen protector is not the issue.. The structure of the case is not protective. Very thin plastic and rubber. I was answering another person's question when I was talking about the screen protector.

Well my replacement case also has a scratch on the back glass although it doesn't bother me. But the front screen protector still has air gaps around the frame. I have no idea how yours sits perfect with no air gaps. Oh well I'm still gonna use the case for a while.

Super sturdy feeling case. Much better than new Otterboxs. Feels thin in hand in comparison. Have several cases and this is probably my favorite at the moment.
 
I bought a simple snap glass screen protector that I can use with the case. No idea why Amzers screens suck so bad. I also bought a badass Rokform Aluminum case that has a bunch of different attachments.

My iblason armor box just came in the mail today.

First impressions are its hiiiiideous, but very sturdy.

I don't know if it is a virtue of how thin the 6+ is, or good design on their part, but it fits quite sveltely. I don't usually run tough cases, but this one feels about 30% slimmer then the defender I ran on my IP5.

Really feels protective. There is rigid plastic over all stress points of the phone, and the screen protector blends well. No bubbles, or effect on usability (so far). The port flaps, are a nice touch as well.

Things I don't like are the cheesy half assed design on the back, the gigantic cut out for the camera, and the way it fits the phone seems like it could cause scratches. Also I wish I didn't go black on gold. The top lip does not encompass the whole white portion of the bezel. It really stands out. Wish I would have went blue or some other color.

Over all though good buy. I paid around $10 for it so I cannot complain. It seems to serve it's purpose admirably, and does offer decent tensile strength to prevent bending.

I will run this until the dust clears, and the case manufacturers get some more time to refine the design.

TL DR

Good case for the money. Not at all bulky for tough case. Few rough edges on design.

i bought this as well but the back has a slight curvature, i can spin the phone when i lay it on a flat surface, unfortunately had to return it, got a dual pro instead and very happy except the headphone port is pretty small, barely fits a sony mdr7507 jack, anything bigger would not work.
