Hi Neal, The otterbox Defender gained a lot of notoriety for the iPhone 5. The defender for the iPhone 6 is rated at 3.5 out of 5 stars by 522, please read the reviews. On the other hand, the Defender for the iPhone 6 plus is rated by 2.7 out of 5 stars albeit by only 9 reviewers due to its newness.
As an alternative, for those who are wanting an Otterbox Defender like case, try taking a look at the iPhone 6 Plus Case, SUPCASE [Heavy Duty] Belt Clip Holster Apple iPhone 6 Plus Case 5.5 inch [Unicorn Beetle PRO... by Supcase rated at 4.0 out of 5 stars by 315, please read the reviews before buying. http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-body-Protective-Protector-Resistant/dp/B0 0MOOFHQ2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414578385&sr=8-1&keywords=iPhone+6+Plus+Cas e%2C+SUPCASE E V -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Neal Ewers Sent: Tuesday, October 28, 2014 6:49 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: cases for the 6+ What do people recommend that are not otter box cases. Are there other nice ones? I don't need it to be water proof or dropped from a 20 story building.

In my humble opinion, the 5 Otterbox case was easier to use for the volume and for plugging in the phone to charge. Things have gradually gotten easier for me over the month I've had my phone and case, and they will hopefully continue to get better. However, getting a good firm and hard press on the volume buttons or on the power/wake button does take more doing with the iPhone 6 case, and it sounds like perhaps for the 6 Plus case too. Those with dexterity issues or trouble gripping things may have trouble. If you do struggle with gripping, I would encourage you to take a look at one and see if you can try it before buying.
