Help.

I had my iPhone 5S for 2 years, and from day 1 I used an Incase 'Snap Case', which allowed me to place the phone screen down and not scratch the screen due to the 'raised lip' around the front of the case.. i.e. this:-



I loved the case, because it kept the phone immaculate, I could place it face down on my desk and not scratch the screen, and the crystal clear case, meant it still looked like an iPhone.

I've just got myself a 6S... It's slippy, and needs a case ASAP. Apple no longer sell the Incase Snap Case for the 6S, and it's quite a lot to ship one over.

I've just bought a Apple Spigen Thin Fit for iPhone 6s... Which is great, but it doesn't have the raised lip around the front of the case/screen.

Can anyone recommend a completely clear hard shell case, which has a raised edge/lip around the screen for a 6S please?

Not a hard shell, but has raised front edge of the case for screen down protection.

I've had my 6s for a few weeks now and I really like it; the screen is great, it's fast and I use Apple Pay most of the time with my Amex card....but I picked up my OH's iPhone 5 and I really miss the size - I struggle a bit with one handed use on the 6 and it is slippy so a case is for me essential.

This +1

The 5 is a great size compared to the 6. Heaven knows how people use a 6+

I hope the 7 comes in three sizes next year

I just had one of these delivered and it really helps reduce the bulk of a normal case; I'm normally careful re dropping my phone but like to have some form of scratch protection and have combined it with an Anker glass screen protector -

My official leather Apple case has a raised lip I am very impressed with the quality.

Well 35/39 but I get you. Expensive. :-)

For a 6splus its £39, for a 6s its £35. Very reasonable considering the alternatives on the market. I was looking at otter boxes prior to that and they were a lot more.

I bought the tan leather one for £35 for the Apple store. Rediculous price but I love it and it fits like a glove.

How well do the genuine Apple leather ones stand up to wear? I bought a 'genuine' one for my 6 earlier this year which was a blatant fake, so I returned it and bought a cheap chinese copy which seemed pretty much identical to the one I returned but much cheaper. Looking at them on eBay, pretty much all of them look like fakes so I've been unwilling to try another when £10 will get you a good copy and buying anywhere but Apple stores probably gets you exactly the same thing for £25+. I'd probably buy an Apple one if the quality is decent.

I bought a leather flip case from Amazon a while back (cheap one) and it eventually tore in half. Underneath the fake leather it was made from old cereal boxes

Thank you sir.

Well worth a pop for £5.

Any links?

I was never into cases for phones, but I bought a genuine Apple brown leather one from Apple for my old 6 Plus. I thought it prudent given the proud camera lens and large size. I don't go easy on my phones; they tend to get bounced and covered in muck or grease but it has stood up really well, protecting the old phone so it looked almost new when I sold it last week. The case has now been transferred to my 6S Plus.

It may not be "cheap" at £39, but I've definitely had my money's worth and it doesn't make the phone look cheap like most aftermarket ones.

Here's the one I bought on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00OZN4OBE - it's gone up a quid or so since I bought it. The button bits are a little stiff, but I have never played with a genuine Apple one to compare.

This does have microfibre inside so doesn't scratch the phone when dust gets in, unlike any hard case.

eBay has never been known for its genuine products.

Compared to a lot of cases £39 is very cheap and after all my phone is £789, £39 for a case is pennies.

Compared to virtually the same thing, not sold as a fake, without the Apple logo for about £10, £39 is not pennies. But feel free to keep boosting Apple's profits. I didn't buy the 'genuine' one from eBay, by the way; it was on Amazon and was only about £5 less than Apple's RRP.

Ill keep to paying £5 more for genuine.

I've always used Griffin cases and they're ace.

I can't believe I've had my 6 for a year, was thinking of a change to the 6S but just don't see the benefit.

Why is it that you can only get st cases and screen protectors in uk? All the ones with decent reviews are only available in USA. Maybe because most of the reviews are US... I've had to have both shipped from there for Mrs 2cv.
