iPhone 6/6s Cases

Which types of cases are suitable for iPhone 6/6s?

There are five common types of phone cases for the iPhone 6 and 6s. They include hybrid cases, transparent cases, TPU and silicone cases, thin hard polycarbonate cases, and cases with features.

• Hybrid cases - combine a shock-absorbing TPU frame with a hard back and provide a good balance between protection and slimness, popular for the thin profile of the iPhone 6/6s.
• Transparent cases - UV-treated acrylic shows the phone's original design without yellowing, a popular choice for preserving the model's classic look.
• TPU and silicone cases - soft, grippy and shock-absorbing. Suitable for those who want to compensate for the slippery glass surface and aluminum frame.
• Hard polycarbonate cases - slim profile with dimensional stability and minimal added thickness, good for those who want to preserve the phone's feel. Thin/slim cases are especially well suited to the iPhone 6/6s's thin form factor.
• Cases with features - card slots or ring holders for those who want to combine protection with practical additions without switching to a full wallet case.

How do I choose the right iPhone 6/6s case based on needs and usage?

The right case depends on how the iPhone 6 or 6s is used daily. The most common needs to consider are:

• Everyday protection - a hybrid case with raised edges around the screen and camera is sufficient for most people and protects the slippery glass surface and the thin aluminum frame from scratches and drops.
• Wireless charging and magnetic accessories - the iPhone 6 and 6s lack support for wireless charging, Qi, Qi2 and MagSafe. Magnetic snap accessories are not compatible with these models.
• Preserve the phone's feel - the iPhone 6 and 6s are among the thinnest iPhone models ever made. A thin hard case preserves that feel better than thicker alternatives.
• Active lifestyle or demanding environments - a shockproof case with MIL-STD-810G certification provides significantly better drop protection during sports or outdoor work.
• Combination with screen protector or lens protector - the fit should be tested for that combination, since an overly thick case can lift the edges of the screen protector.

How do I ensure the case fits the iPhone 6/6s specifically?

It's the camera module that makes a case model-specific — not just the dimensions. The iPhone 6 and 6s share the same external dimensions and camera placement, but still check that the case is marked for both models because the camera on the 6s protrudes slightly more. Cutouts for buttons, the Lightning port and the camera must match exactly — a case marked for the iPhone 6 Plus or iPhone 7 will not fit, despite similar designs. Choosing a case for the wrong variant risks blocking buttons or having the camera opening cover the lens.

Which accessories are commonly used with iPhone 6/6s cases?

Tempered glass screen protectors are the most common accessory to combine with a case and protect the display from scratches and cracks. Lens protectors for the round camera module reduce the risk of scratches on the lens glass. The iPhone 6/6s charges via the Lightning connector, and a cable with an angled Lightning connector makes charging with a case on easier. A power bank is a practical complement for models that no longer have optimal battery life.
