I had good experience with the version of this case for my iPhone 6. I upgraded to the 6s+ and was looking for a case. When I seen this same case for the 6s+ I thought it would be a good case for that as well. Not really.
The actual tactile slickness of the satin finish on the case is really an issue with the 6s+. The iPhone 6, due to the smaller size, though slick, didn't seem like much of an issue. But, with the larger body of the 6s+ and the heft of the phone, I didn't feel like I had a good grasp on the phone while using this case.
THE BIGGEST ISSUE I had with the case was getting it OFF the phone! Seriously. I think that the company didn't take into consideration that the dimensions of the 6s+ are slightly larger than the 6+. I think all they did was change the packaging to market to the 6s+ buyers. Bad Move!
This case is in three pieces. There is the bracket-Clip, and there is the phone case itself which is in two pieces. Getting the two halves to separate was challenge number one. Next was getting the lower half off. Not easy at all. I had to turn my phone off, and seriously Grip the phone and the lower half and (really putting my back into it) try to pull them apart. I had to do it as gingerly as possible because I did not want to tweak the phone, nor break the case and ruin my return. At one point I seriously felt that it was a no win situation and that I was going to have to break the lower section in pieces to get it off. So long $40 !

The story ends with me getting the case off in one piece and not damaging my phone in the process. I will be returning the case ASAP. I will be looking into something very different. This is a real bummer because the case is awesome. It's very versatile and feels very solid. I am just not comfortable with how tightly it fits onto the phone. I see this phone case giving a lot people problems when they decide to take it off the phone.

Primary reason for building/modifying PC:Multimedia (music, movies, photos)
I bought this RAM on 9/10 as an upgrade to the 4GB that came with my 21.5" iMac to boost the RAM to 8GB just to improve the performance of Aperture, iMovie & Final Cut Express. I am NOT a professional, but I do dabble...I use my MAC enough to realize when things could be a little snappier. Well, I shopped around and Apple wants $200 bucks! The installation of the RAM is the easiest thing in the world…the hardest part being actually picking up the computer lol. Everything was fine for about a month until Apps started crashing. it began with my browsers; first Chrome then Safari. I thought I got a virus or something, until iTunes and other apps would open and crash and then finally nothing would open. The ultimate, was when I would get the gray overlay that would tell me to restart my MAC. I went to Apple in Orland Park, IL. and their diagnostics showed a bad hard-drive. well, they replaced the drive but then had problems reinstalling the OS….
It turns out that the entire time, I had bad Ram!! I found out the hard way that RAM is a double edged sword. Sure, it can be the easiest way to boost system performance….but, oddly enough, NOT the easiest thing to diagnose when it goes bad, because its symptoms can seem like so many other issues. So, to Recap, when you put down 4-figures on a computer…bite the bullet and put down at least 3 on the RAM and save yourself some gas and headaches.
The story ended somewhat well, Apple took care of me under warranty and didn't hit me for the RAM issue…and I took the RAM back to the local Best Buy which took it back for store credit. I shop enough at the store that I didn't mind. I hope this was helpful to you.
PS. set up an external HD (at least the sized of your internal HD) & USE Time Machine. you will thank yourself later! I did, & recommend it. ;-)
What's great about it: easy to install
What's not so great: lasted a month!
