Moshi iPhone 6s Plus case lineup

You can find a number of different mobile accessories from Moshi, including some new cases for the Apple iPhone 6s Plus. I spent a couple of days testing out the iGlaze NapaiGlaze ArmouriGlazeOverture, and Kameleon.

The first three iGlaze cases focus on style and different levels of protection, including the use of leather, aluminum, and high quality plastics.

The Overture is designed to serve as your mobile wallet with slots for cards and cash.

The Kameleon is perfect for road warriors who enjoy watching video content on your iPhone. The integrated kickstand supports your iPhone 6s Plus in portrait and landscape orientation.

iGlaze Napa

The Moshi iGlaze Napa is available in four different vegan leather backs. I tested the beige model, but you can also find it in red, blue, and black.

The iGlaze Napa retails for $49.95 and fits the new iPhone 6s Plus just perfectly.

The leather back looks and feels great.

Moshi iGlaze Armour

The iGlaze Armour is similar to the Napa, but the leather back is replaced by an aluminum back panel.

It is available in gray, silver, and gold for $44.95. Last year the iGlaze Armour was one of my favorite cases and it remains a favorite with decent protection, lightweight construction, and excellent port/button access.

I especially like that no special headphone jack extension piece is needed to use the case.

The case is easy to install while offering a secure fit. You need to press in on the Apple logo to remove your iPhone from the case.

iGlaze for the iPhone 6s Plus

You can save $10 compared to the iGlaze Armour by selecting the iGlaze case. It has the same design elements, but the aluminum back panel is replaced by a hard plastic piece.

You can buy the Moshi iGlaze for $34.95 in black, blue, purple, and pink. I was sent a black one to evaluate.

The Moshi Overture is a premium wallet case designed for those who want to carry credit and identification cards, cash, business cards, and more with their iPhone. You can leave your wallet behind with the Overture case.

The case has a sleek textured finish with the front including padding to protect your iPhone.

Moshi Kameleon

The Moshi Kameleonwas the case I wanted to check out the most. I travel quite a bit and enjoy watching movies and TV shows on my iPhone. The Kameleon focuses on the landscape viewing experience with the integrated kickstand.

You can purchase a Moshi Kameleon for $54.95 in black, white, and titanium.

There is soft material on the inside to protect your iPhone while also helping resist scratches.
