Anyone else using the apple cases? I just picked up the leather one for my 6 and love it.

I have the red and blue silicone cases and I love them. The quality is very good.

I had the leather one on my iPhone 5 for awhile. It is probably the best fitting case I ever had. The only problem is that it is not very durable at all. It was showing black wear marks after a week on one of them. I had it swapped out a couple times and eventually switched from the red one to the black. Hopefully the one for the new phones will be a little more durable.

I was staring at the apple case while at best buy about 10 minutes ago. And it's beautiful looking... But doesn't look like it'll do much. I decided with tech 21 just like I had on my 5s. I love the slim form, and the protection the case provides. Also got the clear version this time so it shows the back of the phone through it. I will not be buying another case

I tried the silicone and they felt really grippy. Almost like they would catch in a pants pocket when trying to remove it. Any experience with that at all?

So far I'm digging the leather A LOT. My spigen slim fit felt greasy after just a little use. I haven't felt that at all with this case. The big downfall for me is definitely the price. Almost $50 for a thin piece of plastic with some leather glued to it. Ridiculous.

time will tell. I'll update this as time goes on and I use it more. It feels like it should hold up and for the price I'd sure hope so as well.

Well, I know this tech 21 case will live the life of this phone. My old one for my 5s saved the phone on several occasions. Provides some grip so it doesn't get dropped while at the gym, and it's nice! Glad you guys like your leather cases. I still have my 5s leather case sitting somewhere after using it for a short period of time lol.

that's all I was looking for was some grip with a good looking design. Nothing I saw really caught my eye. I'm extremely picky with what goes on my phone if nobody caught on yet. [emoji41][emoji12]

oh I am too. Another reason I got the tech is because it's a flexible plastic. So I no doubt will end up taking the case in and off here and there.

The apple cases are a little hard to get off. Starting at the bottom and working up seems to make them a little easier. It's a good feeling to know that your phone is in its case securely though.

My leather Apple case for the 5s was impossible to remove. I had to use a credit card and pry the phone out. I'm obsessed with this minimal case from Amazon that has a matte finish to it. It has such a perfect grip to it, and it doesn't stick in your pocket at all. I hate cases, but this is a great balance for me

When you hold it with both hands does it dig into your fingers at all? That was always my main gripe with them but the design is pretty damn close to what I was looking for.

You'll have to explain your question a little better. It has rounded sides, and the top and bottom are uncovered. Feels nice in hand with zero discomfort.

The bottom edge where it's open seems like it has a sharp edge sometimes. That sharp edge has dug into my fingers before and it causes some slight pain when holding the phone.

No. It's not bad. It's quite dull, actually. Give it a shot; Amazon has a very easy and quick return process

I just might have to once I get bored with my apple case. Thanks for the info.

Yeah, it's back far enough where you don't notice it. It actually resides where the glass meets the aluminum, only on the backside if you can picture that.

So it doesn't have a screen lip.

It has a slight raise for "lay on the table." It is also a hair bigger than the lens so the back can be placed on a table without damage.

 

I think he just means the bottom edge. So it's recessed enough to not rub on you when you use it.

Exactly.

well I am into my fifth week for my order. some people in the sprint forums are  saying they have gotten an email saying they have to wait another 4 to 6 weeks. Sure hope that is BS. There are a lot of upset people posting on the sprint forums. I think most of them are blaming sprint for apples problems.

Sounds like the imore forums. Everyone is blaming the carriers for the delay, and not the overwhelming demand that Apple didn't realize was on the way.

I actually cancelled my order and found my phone at a Best Buy, because of the delay. While the delay isn't the carriers' faults I did find it pretty silly that the phone was available for walk ins but not available for those that preordered. Apple's fulfilment of these phones is a little confusing, to say the least.

    • If so, I'm wanting to see if any others of you have been having intermittent internet issues.   The last week or two, internet just seems to intermittently stop/pause for various periods of time....when the halt/pause lets up throughput will seem normal/very snappy as you'd expect on a 1 Gig line, until its not again.  My desk with both personal PC and work laptop are in our basement with a Cat 6 run straight from the Verizon router.  I've mostly noted it when trying to go through and clean out mail from my hotmail account I've had a few decades now (to be clear off that mention, I don't have decades worth of mail pending ha - like 100-200 unreads max if that each time I go through them), but I know its not something relegated to only the outlook.live.com endpoint because I check other tabs/sites when the issues crop up and they're hanging/spinning too. I've not yet tried calling VZ tech support and wanted to check/poll for others here to see if anyone using the service might have been wrestling with similar issues.   Addendum:  Both the ONT box (in our living room, not outside) and the white standup VZ router have been cycled before a couple times.  Have also tried changing between ethernet ports on the back for the Cat 6 cable with no change over long term behavior.
    • Same here, haven't had a single issue with RCS
    • Mapped two n41 small cell sin Jersey City today. They're the first two to be mapped there in Jersey City as far as I can tell and interestingly they're consecutive gNBs, possibly indicating they were installed around the same time. gNB 1088335 appears to be an upgrade of an older small cell. It looks identical to the T-Mobile n41 small cell I mapped earlier this year in Old Westbury.   I also mapped gNB 1088334 in Newport. This small cell appears to be a new build as I couldn't find any evidence of an older small cell in that area. Unfortunately no pic of it since I didn't even notice that I mapped it until I got home and I can't find it in Streetview.
    • Someone told me a couple years ago, that there were problems getting certain modems to aggregate overlapping spectrum even if the overlapping parts were actually blanked. So I think there might be firmware issues that need to be resolved first, which T-Mobile might not consider worth the effort for 4MHz at this time.
    • Tbh not that surprising. Every ISP seems to want to have an MVNO to pitch to their customers to make them stickier and maybe make some money in the process. And unlike USCC the MVNO should be able to cover TDS's entire wireline area, with infrastructure costs that are borne by someone else. Entertaining, yes. Surprising, not really...particularly when competing against Comcast or Spectrum, or even eventually T-Mobile fixed + mobile. This also strengthens my bet that they'll rebrand all their fixed wireless stuff as TDS, as that runs on spectrum they're keeping for now.
