Today we’ve already looked at the best new cases for the iPhone 6, and now it’s time to shift the focus to that phone’s larger brother. The iPhone 6 Plus also benefits from the same healthy Apple ecosystem, which means there are plenty of cases to choose from. Let’s look at the highlights, then!
5. Rhino Shield Crash Guard – Purple, White, Black
We begin with a rather exciting case, the Rhino Shield Crash Guard. This bumper case uses an incredibly clever design to radically increase the survivability of your phone in the case of a drop. A honeycomb design provides greater-than-normal strength to the bumper, allowing the iPhone 6 Plus to withstand drops of up to 20 feet without any ill effects in their tests. The bumper is slim too, measuring just 2.5mm, and weighs the same as a pencil. The case is available in three colours, and is in stock now.
4. olloclip olloCase Lens-compatible Case – Smoke Black, Dark Grey
We originally covered these last month, but they’re good enough to mention once again here. These cases provide a perfect mounting point for adding olloclip lenses, allowing for a range of photography options without much effort. The clip includes four lenses – fish-eye, wide angle and two macro lenses – opening the door to many interesting shots that you couldn’t have gotten otherwise. The cases themselves are slim and stylish, offering good scratch protection without adding too much bulk.
3. Draco Aluminium Bumper – Red, Silver, Gold, Black, Grey
Japanese design firm Draco have proved themselves with their aluminium phone bumpers, so it’s great to see these once again for the iPhone 6 Plus. This bumper is made from CNC-milled aircraft-grade aluminium, providing strength without adding much weight. The case adds a stylish curve to your iPhone 6 Plus, while also making it easier to avoid dropping your phone. The new red colour is on pre-order; the other four colours are available now.
2. Obliq Skyline Pro Tough Case – Silver, Gold, Blue, Black
The Skyline Pro is one of the best tough cases for the iPhone 6 Plus, thanks to its dual-layer design that combines TPU and polycarbonate. The combination is particularly effective at surviving drops and falls, but also provides good scratch resistance in a reasonably slim package. The corners are reinforced as well, making your phone more likely to survive without damage. The case also includes a slot for a credit card, allowing you to easily turn your phone into a media stand. Finally, a cutout for the Apple logo gives you a nice voiceless answer for “what the heck is that giant phone?”
1. Spigen Leather Fit Shell Case – Midnight Blue, Black, Olive Brown
The Spigen Leather Fit Shell Case is our final case, and one that I’ve become quite taken with recently. The case combines the traditional look and feel of leather with a much more modern shell case form factor. This marriage is at once stylish and practical, offering the best of both worlds. With three colours to choose from, I reckon the Leather Fit Shell from Spigen will appeal to a wide range of people looking for the best leather case for their iPhone 6 Plus.
