Magpul is a great looking cheap iPhone 6 case that retails for just 12.93 dollars. It is made of semi-rigid thermoplastic elastomer construction provides protection against minor bumps and abrasions. The Magpul iPhone 6 case has compact design that adds minimal bulk to the iPhone 6 and fits like a charm.

The Magpul iPhone 6 case is not a rugged case but can be categorized in semi-rugged case category. It is good enough to provide basic protection in the field. It is made from a flexible thermoplastic, the Field Case features PMAG-style ribs for added grip, snap-on design for easy installation and removal, and slides easily in and out of pockets without snagging.

This Magpul iPhone 6 case has all the required cutouts and openings so that you are able to reach for all buttons and ports easily.

It is available on amazon for $12 and comes in grey, black, pink and brown colors. The one I reviewed (clear) is not available now.

A Czech website is now reporting that Apple is all set to release the Broadwell powered Macbook Air in February. According to the information released so far, the Apple Macbook Air will soon feature the Intel Core i7 5650U processor with base clock speed of 2.2 GHz or with Core i5 5250U CPU with 1.8G GHz base clock speed.

The fifth generation Intel Core i-series processor are manufactured using 14 nanometer process and thus are more energy efficient and incorporate more powerful integrated graphics unit. This means that Macbook Air will have better battery life and run less hot than before. However do not expect Apple to equip the Macbook Air 2015 to feature a higher resolution display.

Also Apple will be releasing this new model without doing any show or fanfare, so expect a small announcement on their blog about it before the end of February.

Caudabe has updated their Veil iPhone case with a ridge around the camera in order to protect the camera ring. Priced at just 14.95 dollars, the Caudabe Veil is very thin and looks mega sleek. It is just 0.35 mm thick and is made for those who truly appreciate the beauty of the iPhone’s industrial design.

The Caudabe Veil is made of very soft plastic material that does not scratches the device. I have already removed it countless times as I often change cases on my iPhone. It is very form fitting too – there is absolutely no wobble when using it.

The major rival of Caudabe Veil is Spigen Air Skin since both have similar look and feel but we prefer using the Caudabe Veil as it has improved camera cut out. The only complaint I have is that there are not enough frost colors available.

Touch ID is one of the best ways to enhance the security on the iPhone but does it work with sweaty fingers? Well on my iPhone 6 Plus I have noticed that even the smallest amount of wetness on my thumb makes the touch ID useless. Not only me but my friends who sweat a lot have noticed this.

So that is how it works – any kind of moisture on your finger and the Touch ID will have trouble recognizing it. Another interesting find – the one on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus is more responsive than one on iPhone 5S. On the 5S, the sensor simply refuses to recognize the fingerprints even if they are not very sweaty.

So there goes it – if you are a kind of person that gets clammy hands really easy then Touch ID will become useless and it can be very annoying. Touch ID does not play well with the moisture. Fortunately you can quickly enter the passcode in such scenario.

When your hands are dry, you will love Touch ID as it is extremely fast. Sometimes you will find that the screen is still fading on and my phone is already unlocked.

Do you fear that your will easily bend your new Apple iPhone 6 Plus? Well consider getting the MultiCam iPhone 6 Plus case for it.

MultiCam claims that it provides camouflage to your iPhone 6 plus and adds lots of strength and RF neutrality to the phone calls you receive on it.

While your iPhone 6 Plus runs cool most of the time, it does tends to get little hot if you are doing anything CPU or graphic intensive on it. MultiCam iPhone 6 Plus case provides passive ventilation through its holes on the back that keeps the large lithium iPhone 6 Plus battery cool. The MultiCam iPhone 6 Plus case all the required cutouts and openings so that you never have to take the case off for charging or syncing to your computer.

MultiCam iPhone 6 Plus case will be produced in limited numbers so if you are interested in getting it, you should hop on to their website and book one now.

Grovemade is well known brand when it comes to all wood cases but does it really makes any sense to spend hundred dollars on a cell phone case made of wood? Nevertheless here is the review of Grovemade Maple iPhone 6 which retails for 99 dollars.

For $99 you get precise cuttings for volume and power buttons. There is an opening at the bottom for the lightning cable.

So how does the Grovemade Maple case feels in hand? Well it actually feels very good – like wood but we will be lying if we say the fake wood case don’t feel good in hand. In fact they look better too.

This iPhone 6 case consists of two parts – backplate and bumper. The backplate has no cutting for the logo so for those who bought the phone for flaunting that Apple logo will be disappointed.

Here are some features of the case:

Made from Eastern Hardrock Maple
All wood construction using the strength of grain direction
CNC milled
Signature, precision-crafted corner joints
Lasercut actuated walnut power and volume buttons
Hand sanded and hand stained
Phone easily snaps in and out of frame
One piece .070” thick adhesive back plate- leaves no residue (not meant to be repeatedly removed)
Manufacturing process creates minimal waste
Conceptualized, fabricated and constructed by Grovemade in Portland, Oregon.

No matter how good the case is, we just cannot recommend anyone a $99 case that is made of wood.

The Twelve South HiRise Deluxe for iPhone 5S and 6 is an aluminum stand that looks like it was designed by Apple. It comes with a lightning cable inside a box to hold your Apple iPhone 5 / 5c / 5s / 6 / 6 Plus or iPad Mini.

It is available in three colors – black, gold or silver so that you can color match it with your iPhone or iPad. A thumb dial has been added so that the user can adjust the rear support for various cases and covers.

Here is video on how to assemble it:

 

We are normally huge fans of bumper cases and this one is different because it combines bumper with a stand. The Zero Chroma Vario Edge bumper is a case for the Apple iPhone 6. It costs 40 dollars and features a flux stand that allows you to do web surfing and watch videos with ease.

The Vario Edge fits the Apple iPhone 6 curved sides just fine and has appropriate openings for the ports and buttons. It fits perfectly with the company’s arm band and car mount which also makes the Zero Chroma Vario Edge bumper case the most versatile case out there.

There is a lip on the front and stand on the back that keeps the fit of the Vario Edge slightly tighter than other bumper cases for the iPhone 6.

If an Apple iPhone 6 kick stand and bumper case is important to you, look no further than the Zero Chroma Vario Edge bumper.

Incipio has updated its Stowaway Advance case for the Apple iPhone 6 Plus. Priced at 35 dollars, the Incipio Stowaway Advance features a curvy and rubber that is co-molded with plastic.

On the back there is a small compartment that is designed to hold your cash and credit cards.  The package includes a film that protects the metal back of the Apple iPhone 6 from getting scratched.

Its compartment also has a kickstand that allows the user to it as a stand. While Incipio claims you can put three cards, we were able to squeeze only two of them in our tests.

Dimensions of the case: Length: 6.42 in (163.068 mm) x Thickness: 0.17 in (4.318 mm) x Width: 3.24 in (82.296 mm) x Depth: 0.52 in (13.208 mm).
