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?

The bending fad was disproved by consumer reports so yes the leather case will prevent bending with normal use the same as no case would.

My experience with the blue leather case was that it got too dirty too fast.
Are you referring to the blue leather case for the 5/5s? The color is substantially different this year. Last year's was baby blue and this year's is midnight blue, almost black. I can't see the midnight blue getting visibly dirty unless you used it while you were doing an oil change or something.

Yes, the leather case for the 5S, I haven't been able to make myself pull the trigger on the leather cases this year.

I know I say this all the time, but Apple customer service is exceptional. They really set the bar. I purchased three silicone cases yesterday at an Apple Store, but today I decided I only want to keep one of them because I prefer the leather. The Apple Store is two hours away and I won't be going back before the return period is over, so I just called to see if I could ship two of the cases back to them. They are going to send me a prepaid shipping label for either UPS or FedEx and then they'll refund the card after they receive them. I wasn't expecting shipping to be free. (y)

I'm starting to get used to the feel of the silicone and I like the white on black look. Silicone isn't classy like the leather, but I still think it looks alright.
