Which case-iPhone 6 Plus?

Anyone picked up a case yet?  I'm thinking of getting the Apple leather case but £39 is a lot of dosh.

Funnily enough I was looking at that this morning. That case is $49 in the US which should equate to around £30 here - but UK prices are always higher!

Spoke to Apple and they said-try it out and if you don't like it, bung it back to us within 14 days at no charge.

Problem is, if I order the case now the 14 days may run out before i even get the phone!

Got to love Apple CS though-absolutely top notch.  Vodafone CS is the lowest of the low- I keep coming back because iphone ownership means I can go straight to Apple

Fortunately I'm within walking distance of the Apple store in London's Regent Street. I'll nip down there later. I want to take photos of the people camping out for days in end waiting for the launch.

Cool, if you get one of those leather cases in hand, would you mind popping on here and letting me know what you think of the quality etc?

Cheers

If they are the same as the leather case for the 5S then they will be excellent. I bought the leather Apple case for the 5S and it fits so well its a right nightmare to get the phone out of the case, its lasted a year and its got scratches and dents but still just as sturdy as when I bought it.

I started looking at cases on the weekend. Lifehacker had some good options for the iPhone 6 and 6 plus.

At the moment I am leaning towards either the Case-Mate POP or Spigen Tough Armour. Both have a 1.5-1.6mm lip (vital for me with a 2.5 year old) and a kick stand.

The other option for me is to get another Speck CandyShell if they make them for the 6 plus. The Speck has served me well on the 5S.

Interesting to see what people get. Ideally I'm looking for something along the lines of a leather flip / stand case.

The Apple leather cases are flying out.  Yesterday when I went to purchase one, the delivery was 1-3 days.  Today that has changed to 5-7 days for the same case.  Why oh why didn't I pull the trigger yesterday!

I've gone for the Apple silicon case in blue.
