Recommended Best Transparent Case for iPhone 6 and 6+

I have three different clear cases right now. I started with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid but found it to be way too bulky. In its favour it has a very good grip. Then I got the Shumuri case and found that it wasn't bulky but it was very flimsy and slippery with no grip.

I finally got the Canaloo which in my opinion gives me the best of both worlds. It's slim like the Shumuri but has the grip of the Spigen. Whilst it has the volume and on/off buttons covered which I'm not too keen on unlike the Spigen they are easy to press. Overall it's a pretty good case and I'll probably stick with it for now.

Got my "Rock" case from eBay today.

Really like it thus far. Easy to put on/take off. Nice and grippy.

I just received mine yesterday as well and it's impressed me more than I had anticipated. Before then, I was using Ringke Fusion for 6 Plus. I was starting to get annoyed by my fingers bumping up against the sides but did like the lay on the table design. My ROCK. Case doesn't have the lip(I also have glass SP) but it's much thinner and I can really feel more of the original shape of my device and it's grippier and easier to remove and install. Buttons are very responsive and it doesn't have port plugs but I can live with that since I have a dock. It really looks like I have a lot less on my iPhone and the thinner footprint is appreciated. Just a tiny bit of a lip around it to barely protect the corners which is about a low profile as I'm willing to accept. If I feel like I need more protection, I'll switch back to Ringke Fusion.

Could you post some pics up of this case in the flesh? Also, is it 100% clear because it looks slightly frosted from the pic you posted.

Thanks ;)

Sorry, hard to take pictures in the case right now since the only camera I have is on the iPhone.

It is completely clear TPU, you are right it looks frosted in the picture.

I've bought a ton of cases and like this one alot because it has no lip and a very thin profile. Definitely makes the 6+ more comfortable to hold while adding almost no bulk.

Any recommendation for the best transparent case for iPhone 6? I bought one last week and I am very disapointed as the case is very slippery, although its sturdy, when I hold it feels like I'm going to drop it.

I'm planning to buy this one iPhone 6 Case ULTRA SLIM iPhone 6 Case 0.6mm Transparent but not sure whether its worth buying or not. any recommendation?

I really like Spigen cases. I'm currently using their Ultra Hybrid case and love it. Gripping sides, smooth back, clear.

I have 3 cases now! Spending more money than I should!
1. Apple leather case. Love it. However, the lip is exposed and I got a slight scratch there. Barely noticeable but it's a big deal for me.
2. Spigen case with the Apple Logo. Ugly. Cheaply made. Junk. Selling it online.
3. PowerSupport Air Jacket. This is my favorite. Thin. Minimal. Beautiful. Flexible. I will be going back to the Apple Store in a few days for a different color (clear).
PowerSupport and Moshi never disappoints me. When I try to go cheap or try something else, I always get disappointed and end up coming back to these two brands. Love them and have been using their protectors and cases for many years!

Spigen has a lot of cases, which one are you referring to? None of them have an Apple logo, some have a cutout for the logo on the back.

Just received my Spigen Air Skin in the Champagne color for my Gold 6. Perfect case for my needs. Just needed something that was extremely thin to protect the back from scratches when laid down on a table. Wasn't looking for any sort of drop protection.

I hate that it says SPIGEN on the side. Don't like branding. Could you post a pic though?

No kidding, absolutely ZERO drop protection but feels great in the hand.

I've had the i-Blason Halo case for about a week and no scratches. Really thin! I love it! There is also a completely clear color option for this case.

Just ordered the Air Jacket clear matte for my iphone plus. Both will get here in two days! I'll post once I've introduced them to each other.
 
Can anyone recommend a decent iPhone 6 case with a lip? I don't mind it being a little bulky. I'm one of those people that regularly drops my phone / put it face down on the desk, so would prefer if the screen didn't touch the surface of where I lay it down.

I'd prefer it NOT to be silicon because I have trouble putting it in / getting it out of my pockets

Thanks.

I am not sure what problem you see with the cut out. Looks pretty good to me. I attached a few pics of mine. In some screen shots it may look to you like a black band but it's actually all the same color and material, it just shows that way due to the camera angle/shades,etc

How is the clear Smoke AJ holding up? Scratches and/or dust? I remember you saying your spouse has the clear, does it show more or less scratches and dust than your smoke?

In hindsight would you have changed your mind....rubber black or matte?

Thanks!

I have purchased several cases for my iPhone 6 and my favorite one by far is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (gunmetal color). Great snug fit, perfect cut-outs, front lip protection, slim yet has some drop protection, clear back has a scratch resistant coating and the case is not slippery. I do not think the integrated buttons are at all difficult to press. Can't beat the price either. All of the other cases have been returned.

I'm thinking about getting the Sheer Glam which is essentially the same case but a clear with gold glitter back.

Ha that's funny I am going to get that one for Christmas. She wanted that one when we first got our phones. But bestbuy didn't have any in stock at the time. She loves all that bling stuff.
