Best iPhone 6 Case (since iPhone 3G)
I've used CaseCrown "Glider" cases since iPhone 3G.They're always reliable, and have protected my phones through numerous falls, drops, and bangs. I've never had a cracked screen or severe iPhone injury using these.The iPhone 6 Glider case is no different. Excellent quality, with a minimalist approach to the case thickness and the protective lip around the screen. The inside of the case is coated with a thin fabric lining which feels like it absorbs the shock of any fall by padding the phone between the contact with the case.I love this case primarily because it's a 2-piece that slides over the phone and connects, rather than snapping on face-first. It doesn't slip off, because of the snug fit from the fabric layer.With previous versions the iPhone flash reflected on the edge of the camera cutout, resulting in blown out photos. This seems to be fixed in the iPhone 6 case version, because of the larger cutout (it may also be because this is a matte black case, instead of a shiny reflective lighter color).My *ONLY* gripe with this case is the volume and power buttons. They are bonded to the rest of the case, within the button hole cutout, but a very small piece of plastic. After about a month of use on my first case, the power button broke off leaving just a hole that I had to dig into to access the power button. I bought a new case. This is annoying, but not a deal breaker. If CaseCrown fixes the minor annoying button fatigue issue I'd gladly give a 5-star.CaseCrown Glider is the only case I recommend to iPhone users. I buy these in bulk for family and friends as gifts. Protect your phone – Grab one now!

Near perfect case.
I've tried around ten different cases for my iPhone 6. An Otterbox Symmetry, Incipio NGP, Griffin Reveal, Elago Slim Case, Maxboost, Spigen (one that's like Griffin's Reveal), Apple Silicone case, etc. ALL the big names, basically. I'm a designer and I'm OCD, so picking out an iPhone case is really challenging for me. I'm looking for near-perfect. I'm careful with my stuff, so I don't need an Otterbox/Speck level of protection. I just mostly want the camera not laying flat (that one's completely on Apple's design team...) and prevent scratches. I haven't had cases on my iPhones in the past, but the 6 was too big/slippery for me. So, the Casecrown slider. The fit is *perfect*. You can't feel the seams where the two pieces fit together. The feel of the case is fantastic, it's a smooth, grippy plastic material. The inside has velvet touching the back of your phone to prevent scratches. The fit is very snug, but not so much that you feel you'll never get the case off again (pull the top part off first, if you do). There's an indentation inside the case running along where the camera protrusion can follow without scratching. The buttons all work great and still have a click-feel. My ONLY qualm with this case is reaching the mute switch. It's still doable, but a slight bezel inside the cut out would've made it far easier. The cutouts for the headphones/lightning cable/speaker is great. I only use Apple's earbuds and my Monster aux cord in the car, so I can't speak to other headphones. I also only use Apple lightning cables so I can't speak to that either. To conclude, if you're a picky case-buyer, want a good, minimal case that's still *slightly* protective, the Casecrown slider is for you. 9.5/10 for the mute switch cutout.

Thin to win
I bought this case based on size, the need for some protection, and to lessen the chance of dropping it. I like the texture of this case. It feels good in the hand and is not slippery. It's not a tacky feel but it's much better and safer than the bare edges of the naked iPhone. The fit is tight and adds very little to the overall size. It keeps the phone thin enough to easily fit in pockets but is thick enough to provide a solid feeling. Of course it does not offer the kind of safeguarding a big bulky case can, but that was not my goal. If you need Otter Box protection, don't buy this CaseCrown.I also like the cut-outs on this case. Very smooth and perfectly aligned. Plenty of room for the plug on my Westone ears buds and Apple lightning chargers. The case bottom is removable so if a cord won't insert properly, you have that as a solution. Also, there's a snug fit where the removable bottom slides against the primary case piece. The buttons covering the Home and Volume keys work well. They are not hard to press and I'm hopeful they will stay attached. So far so good, but I've had the case only 2+ weeks.At this point, I can recommend the case. It provides exactly what I need and looks great. Mine is the black case on a space gray/black iPhone 6.

Good Slimline Case
This is my third iPhone case from CaseCrown (4S, 5s, and now 6). I'm looking for a very thin case that will provide a little protection in case of a drop, and also provides a matte surface that helps prevent the phone from sliding out of my pocket when I'm sitting down. All three of the cases have fulfilled these roles perfectly.The iPhone 6 case has added plastic button covers, as opposed to the open cutout on the older models. I don't really care for this because the plastic covers are attached to the case with a small tab at one end, so you can only press the button towards the un-tabbed end. It's not a deal breaker though and that's why I'm giving this case 4 stars.Update 12/28/2016: I'm dropping the rating to 3 stars due to product quality issues and fit problems. I've purchased 3 of the iPhone 6 Lux Slider cases; 2 of them as original purchases and 1 as a replacement. All of the button covers eventually fell off, hence the need for a replacement case. I'm also not too pleased with the gray replacement case I bought. The bottom portion of the case fits too loosely so it constantly comes off when I pull the phone out of my pocket.I think CaseCrown didn't do a very good job of designing their iPhone 6 case. Despite the sub-par quality of this case I bought their iPhone 7 case since I like their products and I've noticed a significant improvement.
