Hello,
I just want to suggest another case for the iPhone6 and 6 Plus. The name of the
case is Barely There and it is from Case-Mate.com. I am currently using one of
their cases for my iPhone4 for the past 4 hears. I just ordered a new one for
my iPhone6 today. There are 2 pieces to this
I was excited to get an update to the Amazon app yesterday. Unfortunately
it still does not work well on my iPhone 5. I cannot activate the buttons
to add an item to my cart or wish list, which means I cannot order anything.
I reset my settings a week or so ago, and that fixed an issue that
I've seen both phones in the store, and I plan to go for the 64 gig iPhone 6.
The 6+ is just way too big for my taste. I currently have the 16 gig 4S, and
that size limit is just way too constraining for me now.
Thanks,
Ari

Try doing a three-finger swipe up to show the buttons, and then find them on
the screen with a finger, and then double-tap them.
Yhanks,

Ps: I find Otterbox neater, and they do make an effort to follow or
compliment the styling of the device; the Griffins thus far, do the
opposite; the case shows off their form, not the host phone.

There's a good idea, but have to say, I find those outer cases so slick as

How easy is it to open and close the port covers?
How easy is it to connect the Lightning connector?

Sometimes they will list a product and a price, but it does not give enough
