Practical AF
I love how this isn't a bulky case and still offers protection. It's also super handy because of the fact you can carry 2 cards in it which essentially eliminates my need for a wallet that I might lose.

Best WALLET TYPE CASE as far as I can tell.
First of all, I hate it when they rush to market without a tested case because they're trying to sync up with the release of a new phone. I also hate it when they group listings for different models so when you read reviews, you're not sure which product design you're reading about. You get a very false representation that way.So...CARD SLIDER...I love the marriage of TPU and polycarbonate plastic here. In previous cases I've owned, polycarbonate always cracks or dents on impact at the corners...your phone may be okay, but the case looks like crap. So I've learned I really prefer the TPU cases...just a lot them discolor in the pocket of my jeans so you have to be careful about color choice. I have not dropped my phone yet (knock on wood) but in this design TPU takes all the impact and the transition from one material to the other is really smooth. Well done. I can see how some would complain about this case being slippery, but seriously, hold on to your phone people. I don't like the grippy cases because that film always starts peeling and scratching and looks really ugly. This one has a silky feel, much like the naked phone, but is a little beefier and easier to hang on to.Ports are all cut right and keep the 360 protection in tact. My Bose headphone jack pushes ever so slightly against the front edge, but it doesn't compromise the case at all. Play-through buttons work perfectly with only a tiny bit of extra tension.So the card slider feature definitely adds some bulk, but from what I can tell, less with this case than with any other wallet type cases. It about doubles the thickness of the naked iPhone 6, but is only maybe a millimeter thicker than the iPhone 5 with a standard case that I'm used to. The whole operation is bigger and heavier, but I'm sure I will get used to that, and it's to be expected with a bigger phone. I do like that they keep the shape of the phone intact with this case instead of adding a bunch of unnecessary angles like the Versa Damda Slider or ::shudder:: Otterbox which totally butcher an elegant phone design.The sliding door will take a little getting used to. I have soft hands...they could've added some little design feature that gives some traction, but I think it'd be hard for them to do this without sacrificing the aesthetic of the case. As it is, I still think this is better than fumbling with a wallet--two thumbs, press along the edges on the bottom half of the phone and it's a pretty smooth action. I was able to get a DL and 2 debit cards in, but I don't like how much tension there is when removing a card with that many things in. It DID NOT push the door out of shape like some others have claimed, I just didn't care for it. I also don't like the clicking of the raised lettering on the card across the edge of the door...so I've loaded my cards to prevent it--my less frequently used card is face up loaded first, my very frequently used card is loaded face down with the lettering of the two cards on opposite sides. I'm sure most people will not care to do this, but the fellow perfectionists out there might. Without having dropped the phone or used it for a year, I can't say for certain, but the door seems plenty secure to me.I got SHIMMERY WHITE ...gorgeous! The pictures don't show the gold irredescence, but it's really pretty in person. I really hope it stands up to wear and tear because it's really elegant! The negligence to use anything but black TPU, however, is a really unfortunate design choice...it makes an otherwise elegant case, sporty looking. I really wish they would've adapted the TPU to better coordinate with each color selection. I have the gold iPhone, and while you really can't see any gold (unfortunately, just peeking through ports and the ring around the home button) the black band around the edge is just unfortunate interference with the white screen and pearly white back. Still better than other options, but blah...My only other complaint is that the TPU bevel is a little bit sharp. Great shape and design...does a perfect job around the edge of the screen, just could be a little smoother in keeping with the rest of the roundness of the case.So yes, there's a little bit of room for improvement, but I'm quite happy with my purchase and looking forward streamlined wallet usage.

Pretty good, some pros and cons (listed) -- has stood the test of time for almost 2 years!
UPDATE 7/2016:I've been using this case for almost 2 years. Over time, the mechanism for the cards has become easier to use. It's still in great shape aside from a few scuffs and losing a bit of color on the back. I've dropped my phone many times and no damage has occurred. People still comment to this day how "cool" it is that I have the slide feature. It's WAY less obnoxious than people who have those complete wallet phones. It really only holds two cards, I've forced some extra cash in it before, but it's not ideal. Over time, the sliding mechanism has also worn down to wear I can slide the whole back off, but it snaps back on easily. Overall I'm very pleased with how this has stood up to a lot of wear and that it has protected my phone for 2 years.Original review (Nov 2014):When I first bought my iPhone 6 the day it came out, the case selection was poor, and the ones that were available (even Otterbox) were getting terrible reviews. After having my phone for 2 months, it fell out of my pocket and the screen shattered so bad I had to replace the phone. $300 later (on top of the same amount that I had paid initially), I knew I had to get a case pronto, even though what I really wanted STILL didn't exist.I really liked the feature of this being a wallet (I had my eye on Otterbox's, but people were complaining about the cutouts not being correct). I'm a female, but I HATE carrying a purse, so the idea of being able to have my phone on me and nothing else when running into the store or a restaurant was really appealing. I really like this case, but I think there could be some improvements:Pros:The phone sits in the case quite snugly, and I have dropped the phone in it and it was fine.I love the mint color, though I feel it's still a bit boring.The lip on the front of the screen is generous, though I feel this design will add some weight to your phone.The wallet feature broke in quickly and holds two cards just as it says.I like that the whole screen is accessible with this case, no problem with screen edge or fingerprint ID.Camera and flash work well for me with cut out on back.Case came with authenticity certificate to guarantee you were getting the real deal from the manufacturer.Cons:Case adds a little more bulk and weight than I'd like, but it is very protective.Back plastic is hard, but feels soft, but is too slick. If your fingers have no moisture, you can't pull the wallet down, and I end up trying to wedge a fingernail into the crack.Wallet drawer has come off track a couple of times, just have had to snap it back in.This phone boasts that your cards go in staggered so you can see both -- not true. Mine only fit in on top of each other, and I've tried to make them stagger - it doesn't happen. This means you have to grab your top card and lift it up to get your bottom card. I keep my license on the bottom, debit card on top.Features that would make this case primo: I'd love to see more colors/patterns - even if it was just the option to buy decorative wallet slide-down pieces at $5 or something like that. I love that the side silicon makes this case easier to hold onto for us with tiny hands, but i'd love a little bit of this on the back as well. I think a grooved space where you slide the wallet down would help your finger/thumb grip the wallet drawer so that it's easier to pull it down when your hands are dry or when you have gloves on. I'd also love to see the design streamlined to make the case less bulky but just as protective, though, overall the size of the case isn't bad, and I still feel like my phone is small-ish, considering it is the giant iphone 6 which I was so opposed to in the beginning.

Very convenient and beats any wallet style case I have used before
This case has quickly become one of my favourites I have ever owned. The card case slot is extremely convenient, I use it to hold my bus pass and student ID (and the tap function of my bus pass still works from inside the case! which is very handy). The case slides open easily and the cards are easily accessible. Overall, the build quality is good and seems as if it will protect the phone from any reasonable fall. The one issue is that the sliding section of the case can come detached from the rest of the case, which can be slightly annoying at times (this is the only issue preventing me from giving it a 5 star review), however, it can be re-attached fairly easily. The case adds a fair bit of bulk to the phone, as can be expected when adding storage space to the back of it. I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a reasonably priced case to hold a couple cards in it as it is much more comfortable to hold then the folding wallet varieties of case.

Decent case, but is slightly tacky and scratches easily for the price.
Update: The underside is scratched and looks very tacky now. The card slider "door" doesn't stop and slides completely off unless you stop it. Disappointing for the price, especially as the photos give the impression that the case has metal parts on it.I have had this case for about 2 months now, and it has protected my phone well from it's (very few, 3) drops. They haven't been from very high heights but have been on some hard surfaces and the case hasn't cracked unlike some others but has developed a few scuffs.The case is made out of TPU and ABS(?) plastic which combines together to protect the phone from drops and general wear. It covers the power button and volume button whilst still retaining good tactile feedback from the buttons. The case also covers the headphone jack, and the speaker and microphone at the bottom of the case.It also raises the screen when facing the phone down to protect it from scratching. I currently use a glass screen protector on my phone which is thicker, but the case still manages to prevent my screen from touching surfaces. The case also protects the iPhone 6's raised camera from touching surfaces, and provides a large cutout for both the camera and flash.There are a few downsides, such as the paint used on the case beginning to wear off quickly, and the material of the case makes it prone to being scratched easily. The cardholder at the back whilst useful, has a very thin sliding door which can break very easily and is very flimsy. It also looks tacky when opened as the inside isn't painted and is just a bare white plastic colour. All of these downsides are very disappointing for the price of the case, but at a lower price this case would be perfect.

Here's a Detailed Useful Review!
Just received it 2 days ago, and here are my comments:PROs:1) Perfect fit, just like my previous Spigen cover for iPhone4.2) The Plastic back plate is an added advantage, since it allows easy sliding of the phone into the pocket (males).3) When donned on to the phone, the edges cover all the sides as well as a thin rim of the front surface, allowing complete protection (unlike many back plates).4) Slots for the buttons are great, and unobtrusive.5) My most fav part: A small sticker comes along with the original package (pic attached) with a product code that can be entered onto the website to confirm that the product is genuine (I did it, and mine was!).6) The feel of the phone with the cover on is very stable and solid, with a good balance when we type. While speaking too, the grip is comfortable, and one feels safe with it.CONs:1) The mechanism of the back plate fit is somewhat clumsy. It has to be pressed hard into place, and though its not a bad thing, it does not match with the otherwise flawless features.2) The credit card slot is not so easy to open. Certainly not to make it an easy and quick step.3) I was sad to note that the credit card slot is meant ONLY for a credit card :( I wish they had thought of business cards too, since that's what one would need it for more often. I guess that would change from country to country, and I can certainly stuff come cash (as a gift) and a trimmed visiting card so that the phone can be returned to me if lost ;)Overall, a great Buy! If it could have accommodated visiting cards, I would have given 5 stars!

Holds cards and looks great.
Terrific case, and holds 2 cards very easily, 3 cards a bit tightly. The buttons and cut-outs are all perfectly matched and the case itself, though slightly bulky for small hands, feels really solid. The case has a quality look to it, and the finish to it is shimmery pearly white. Minor criticism is that the cover for the card case is slightly finicky to get open because of the slipperiness of the material on the back. Minor complaint though, since I bought this case because I wanted the cardholder.
