Be cautious about the screen protectors you purchase.
I purchased a five-pack from Amazon and the protector covered the camera lens. FaceTime was like looking through frosted glass. I ended up cutting off a small square to expose the lens.

I also bought myself an OtterBox Commuter case. It came with a screen protector and guess what? Same design flaw. Now I can understand if these are marketed as "universal" screen protectors. But these are specifically designed for the iPhone 6.

Thanks for the tip, Peter.

Do yourself a favor on the protector and get a tempered glass one. I don't have any experience with the others but I have the ZAGG invisible glass. They offer lifetime warranty and I screwed up the install on my first one, paid $5 shipping and had a new one at my door in a couple of days.

Speaking of pulling the trigger.

Quote:

Former major league slugger Jose Canseco blew his middle finger clear off his hand while cleaning his handgun at home in Las Vegas.

Jose's fiancée Leila Knight tells TMZ Sports ... he was sitting at a table in their home cleaning the gun when it went off. She says he didn't know it was loaded -- and the shot ripped through the middle finger on his left hand.

Well it fit the thread title....

I have a iPhone 5c and use Otterbox's Defender case, which does not cover the camera lens. I did a quick search and saw that the Defender for the 6's does not cover the lens either. Only drawback is that some people find it: 1. expensive and 2. bulky.

Either way, I'm a klutz so I need as much protection for my phone as possible.

I'm saving up to pull the trigger on a NoPhone.

It is an upgrade on the no phone I now own.

I love it. I wonder how long the battery lasts?

pnoon · 10-29-2014, 03:32 PM

Back on topic.

There are some really cool new features on the camera that I'm looking forward to digging into.

Dave128 · 10-29-2014, 07:38 PM

Got a Pelican case and a tempered glass screen protector tonight. Zero issues with the camera.

CigarNut · 11-01-2014, 10:35 AM

My 6+ arrived yesterday and so far it's been great. Really love the battery life!

shilala · 11-01-2014, 01:51 PM

I ordered 9 days after you, Michael. I kind of figured mine will get pushed back, they say the 64GB models are way behind. You're the first person to say theirs showed up, so that's heartening.

My arrival date was 10/29-11/7*.
*Estimated shipping range.

What's some other cases everyone likes for the 6? I have a spigen air cushion. Looking for something with a little more protection.

Otterbox Commuter. Really happy with it.

shilala · 11-07-2014, 05:44 AM

Welp, mine got backordered with no idea when it may be in stock. Just changed today.
I see that they're all over at Apple stores on istocklive, and I have a number for AT&T.
I did a live chat with them and didn't get anywhere.
I figure I'd take any color, and don't mind going to the 128GB, so we'll see what happens.
I'll probably just wait. I'm not sure my patience can take it today.
I'd far rather put Peter on this. He gets sh1t done.

But I often wonder if the rise in BP is worth it.

CigarNut · 11-07-2014, 06:53 AM

We ordered a 64GB iPhone 6 last Friday (in the local AT&T store) for my wife; they told us that it would ship somewhere between 12/2 -- 12/11. I got a notification from AT&T on Wednesday that it is going to arrive tomorrow.

Dave128 · 11-07-2014, 09:22 AM

Ordered three 6's on 10/4 - two have arrived and are being used. My wife is still waiting for hers (I think she ordered a white/gold 64GB). We were informed, via email, that it should be shipped between 11/1 & 11/15.

I know the girl that was the head of marketing for lifeproof (i think that was their name) they just got bought by OtterBox, I will drop her a line and pass on your feedback and see what she has to say. I won't complain too much, her hubby is an FBI agent

btw pulled the trigger on my upgrade today, we'll see when it ships and I'll have to see about getting a case from my friend

What she will probably tell you (and I neglected to post) is that your friend (me) had a momentary lapse of judgement. I did not actually put the Otterbox screen protector on my phone. I already had the modified original that I would keep on the phone for a while. I merely laid the Otterbox screen protector on my phone to see it overlay the lens. Well, guess what? I had laid the screen protector (which is NOT symmetrical) on my phone flipped over. When I turned it around the lens was not covered. D'OH!!
