Finally got round to upgrading from my 4 to a 6S today.

Can anyone recommend a good hard case. Apple one looks OK but wondered if there any good 3rd party ones on Amazon or the like.

Thanks!

Actually this looks good - with a clear screen cover should be all I need. Anyone got experience pf this?

I have one of those. Works well enough, although don't drop it very often. Best feature is it makes the phone a lot less slippy in your hand. I would reccomend 58/62

I've had two Casemate cases: the first, carbon fibre, for a 5S and a cheaper plastic one for my 6S. I think the carbon fibre cost about £40 and my 6S case was about £20. The latter has a rather more "grippy" surface. Both are very good and tight-fitting, and would protect the phone quite well from being dropped.

in addition, I believe icy 6S case contributed significantly to my phone surviving a recent dunking in the dog's drinking bowl!! There's a recent thread on here about that event!

After having no cases and many cases this year I got the official leather case, it's brilliant far better quality than most, keeps the phone slim and then to protect the front I got a glass screen protector from Anker.

How did you find the screen protector did it stick without a halo effect?

I have the Spiegen Air Skin and it's a really nice case and only adds minimal bulk although won't offer much by way of protection if you drop it. I also bought the Spiegen premium exact finish matt hard case which is also really nice (and inexpensive), both from Amazon.

In terms of the Anker screen protector, from what I understand the 6s screen is slightly different to the 6 (more curved) hence the halo effect.; I replaced it with a Zagg invisible shield (I like the texture) until Anker release a protector for the 6s.

I'm really careful with my stuff (my iPhone 4 stills looks brand new) so ordered the AirSkin.

Just replaced my iphone 5s with a 6s. It's like a bar of soap in comparison. So I bought one of these :

Nicely finished, reasonable cost, adds a bit more bulk ( never though I'd say that!!! ).

People used to give ratings on the "what movie I saw" thread out of 10 or 100.

Then it went silly so people were giving ratings such as 37%, 16 out of 53 etc etc.
