I just installed the Zagg Glass on my iPhone with the Apple midnight blue leather case. A great combo!

Good choice. Was thinking that combo, but go with the brown instead.

I've never used a screen protector, never scratch a phone, nothing like naked glass :)

Just picked up the "Black" silicone case today for my 6. Just as heads up to anyone looking to get this, it's not really black. It's definitely a dark grey. It still looks nice though...

Was going to get the pink silicone case for my wife's 6, but it's almost a salmon color, definitely not pink. She didn't want it...

I don't. The glass is too hard to go away from after you've used it. Feels like the device's glass. I'm not too keen on the cutouts, but I've had that in the past with Zagg's "case-friendly" options...so I suppose I'm used to it. I hear, though, that a company called "iLoome" is coming out with an edge to edge tempered glass protector. No lifetime warranty like with Zagg (one of their best attributes), but will be interesting to see what it is. I'll wait to see what is said before I decide on that.

The HDX is great, but nothing compares to the feel of the glass. I don't care what many say...you WILL scratch your screen without a screen protector. This lowers resale value and bugs me to NO END.

Has anyone heard if the HDX covers the entire glass on the iPhone?
idunno, I've never noticed scratches on my screen, at least nothing that would reduce resale more than the cost of a screen protector.

I never had one device's screen got scratch without screen protector. But if that happen even just a hair line thin, It will just bother the crap out of me more than worry the resale value.

picked up the brown leather case last night, using my gf's phone to model. it's ok. I'm hoping it'll look cooler once it wears in.


I am going to breakdown and get the brown leather case tomorrow. My student picked one up when he bought his iPhone at Apple today and it looks awesome. The blue leather case is growing on me as well.

Now that I put that red leather Apple case on my wife's phone I[m thinking .. boy is that thing slippery. Dangerous even. Better get to the Apple store pronto and buy some Apple Care+. #Tomorrow

@Europa does the slipperyness of the leather bother you?
The leather isn't slippery to me at all. I think the grip is perfect. I picked up some silicone cases at the Apple Store yesterday and while I do like how they look, I'm finding that I prefer the feel of the leather more than the silicone. The silicone is more grippy, so you may want to exchange it for one of them.

I thought about getting white silicone, but it just looks cheap to me. if I wanted a cheap looking case, I wouldn't be spending $30+ dollars on it.

Maybe my hands are just too slippery. :D

I was thinking of the silicone case but will wait until her Spigen comes and compare. Like I said, one of them is going back. :confused:

I have the leather case too, don't find it slippery at all. It's one of the nicest cases I've had. Then again, I change things up case-wise every now and then.

The Apple leather one looks very nice. It looks like it will retain the form factor but how about preventing it from bending the 6+ when in your pocket? Does it have some rigidity to it to prevent this?

It's leather so no. Listen, have you actually held the iPhone 6 Plus? It doesn't flex, it doesn't bend. Not with normal use and pressures anyway. I think the case looks great on the 6 Plus and you won't regret it. If you want something rigid, Apple isn't your source. Try RokForm.

My experience with the blue leather case was that it got too dirty too fast.
