Another great piece on SixColors:<\/a><\/p>\n

I\u2019m with Marco. I have always appreciated using my iPhones as they were born, a naked robotic core with no adornment. And I\u2019ve never dropped one. But I\u2019ve been using an Apple iPhone 6 leather case for the last couple of weeks, and really liking it.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s true\u2014the curved glass on the iPhone 6 screen is glorious, and the case completely blunts that feature. However, the leather also makes the entire device more grippable.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

My God, yes. Since 2007, I\u2019ve owned every single iPhone released and I buy 1-2 cases per iPhone to try out and each time, I go back to my old ways of a naked phone in my pocket, car dock and home dock. Mostly because cases make the iPhone un-dockable and un-pocketable. Silicone cases get stuck in my jean pockets and make the slick phone hard to remove and the cases make the iPhone not compatible with every car \/ desk dock I\u2019ve ever used (and I LOVE docks).<\/p>\n

The (red) Leather case for iPhone 6 is so thin, adds a great grip, is pocketable and works with all of my docks including the awesome 12 South iPhone dock that is currently on my desk.<\/p>\n

I went case-less last week for a day and while I LOVED the naked iPhone\u2019s feel and comfort, I missed the case and wanted it back.<\/p>\n

Is this the perfect iPhone case or are our phones finally so thin that a case actually improves their functionality?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Another great piece on SixColors: I\u2019m with Marco.
