You may not be using the "pinky bridge" iphone holding technique. I recommend it; more stability, more horizontal reach.

And you don't sacrifice as much vertically as you might think (top right corner window closing, for instance) because you can double tap the home button, just tap not press, and shrink the screen. A feature I'm still getting used to.

So after a few weeks, I have to say that it still feels too big. Maybe I wouldn't want to go back to the 5s size, but something in the middle.

The battery life and thumbprint unlock are great.

But the phone is poorly designed. It would be so much easier to hold if the sides were flat. Also the buttons and the vibrate toggle have slop in them. No iPhone I used before did. Not a Steve Jobs product.

I am having extraordinary difficulties lately with its coefficient of static friction, among other things.

Yeah. Drier hands in the winter is an issue.

Yeah, that's not so bad.

Shit, I am going to drop this thing. I'm getting a stupid case now.

I know a place that sells iphone cases, I'm not sure if they have them for the 6 yet?

I was thinking about getting a 5s case, anyone owns one and could say something about it?

I hate cases, they make the phone huge and heavy. Are there any thin/sleek cases?

I personally find skins look better. They protect the phone from scratches but won't save your phone from a fall (the same way most cases won't save your phone either).
