So you’ve just got your shiny new iPhone 6 and it feels great to hold in the hand, but if you’re anything like me you’re already thinking of how to keep it looking that good. If you don’t want a full case but want to keep it protected while you’re out and about, the Caseflex iPhone 6 case in pouch style could be for you, and we have a mini review.
I’m not a fan of traditional cases as I like to be able to see my phone as it should be, but I do like to have something I can slip the phone into if placing it in a pocket or bag. The choice of iPhone 6 accessories available online is vast and I didn’t want to be too long in the process as I wanted something quickly, so decided to buy a budget pouch case with the intention of possibly replacing it at a later stage.
I came across the Caseflex iPhone 6 Case White PU Leather Auto Return Pull Tab Pouch Cover (to give it’s full name on Amazon), and as it was just £6.99 I decided to give it a whirl. This iPhone 6 pouch is made from tough faux PU leather, and features a handy pull tab for easy removal with a magnetic closure. It also has a soft interior that will safeguard the phone’s display from scratches and scuffs.
I was pleasantly surprised on opening the package to see that the quality of the case was higher than I had expected, and seems sturdy enough to give good protection to the phone when on the move. The quality of the stitching around the pouch is good, and the magnetic tab closer is quick and convenient.
On the outside of the pouch there’s a pull tab that ejects the phone, useful for when you get a call or text. Although I would have liked it to pop the phone up slightly more, it does come out far enough so that you can get hold of it, without being so far that it might fall out completely. The phone fits nice and snugly inside and the texture on the exterior of the pouch gives it some grip. The best part is its price at just £6.99!
I ordered this iPhone 6 pouch in white and was worried it might discolour, but frankly at the price I would just replace it with a new one if that happens. It is available in a choice of other color options, so if you want to see more or to order it, head to this Amazon product page.
Although I originally thought this case would be a stopgap, I can’t think of a way it could be improved that much by spending more money on another one, so for now I’ll be sticking with the Caseflex. Have you been looking for a pouch-style case for your new iPhone 6? If so, do you think this Caseflex accessory could be what you’re looking for?
