This will undoubtedly change as more manufacturers create and refine slim cases for the iPhone 6 Plus, but in the meantime it’s a little frustrating. For those wondering, I’m currently using a generic $10 plastic case found on Amazon, it does the job but it’s not going to win any awards. Many iPhone owners like the official Apple Leather cases which feel great to the touch, but the leather can scuff easily and for $49 it doesn’t seem to be as protective as a good silicone or plastic shell should be. This is probably due to the devices size, where a big bulky case is ridiculous and many of the slimmer cases don’t offer adequate protection which leave large portions of the phone unprotected.

I have yet to find a case for the iPhone 6 Plus that is really great. 4: Where are the Good Cases for iPhone 6 Plus? Don’t expect a banana peel or anything, but it is the most smooth and slippery iPhone I’ve felt.Īs a result, you’ll almost certainly want to use a case with the iPhone 6 Plus (and maybe the iPhone 6 too), because not only does it protect the device from a drop but it also makes the device feel considerably less slippery. It survived with a few scuffs, but nobody likes the feeling of a dropped phone. The first time my iPhone 6 Plus was dropped, it had slithered out of my pants pocket while seated, dropping 2′ or so onto the concrete. This is kind of hard to explain unless you’ve felt one and used it for a while, and though it feels great in the hands, a side effect is that it easily slips from unsecured pockets and right off of fabric surfaces, like a couch or lap.

The rolled edges and polished aluminum on the iPhone 6 series are so incredibly refined and smooth that it winds up being slippery. 3: The Aluminum is so Smooth it’s Slippery

Is this a universal experience? Probably not, but I’ve heard similar sentiment from a notable amount of other iPhone Plus owners, where an iPad goes unused, while the iPhone and Mac gets a lot more use. This also means any games you were playing on the iPad (*cough* Clash of Clans *cough*) will be abandoned, which could be viewed as a good thing. If I need to do anything serious that the iPhone Plus can’t do, and there is plenty, I go to my Mac. Regardless, it’s hard to imagine wanting an iPad again. Granted, this is an iPad 4 which is basically an ancient technological relic at this point, so those with a brand new iPad Air 2 may not have the same experience.

I suppose the iPhone Plus screen is easily big enough to replace whatever I was doing on the iPad, but the iPad now just feels heavy, clunky, slow, and… unnecessary. This is a very unexpected side effect of getting the big screen iPhone 6 Plus I stopped using my iPad, completely. (That’s an iPhone 4S with a 3.5″ display next to an iPhone 6 Plus with a 5.5″ display, it looks even more silly in person) 2: You’ll Stop Using an iPad Is this really a problem or something not to like? Time will tell, but for now don’t expect to find another device with a smaller screen size adequate again.

It quickly becomes hard to imagine going from an iPhone Plus to anything smaller in the future, the screen size is that great after you get accustomed to it. You’ll pick up your old iPhone 5S or iPhone 4 and laugh out loud, wondering how on earth you possibly used something so small. That feeling goes away in a few short days as you get accustomed to the wonderfully large display, but it has the unfortunate side effect of making every other iPhone (or other smartphone) without a comparable 5.5″ display seem unacceptably small if not outright puny. When you first get an iPhone 6 Plus it feels huge, at least if you’re coming from a prior iPhone model.
