Top 3 Best Winterproof iPhone 6/6+ Cases.

Looking for a new iPhone 6 case that will stand up to cold weather? These iPhone 6 cases will help your new phone make it through the coldest months of the year. Our list includes rugged waterproof/snowproof cases, as well as winter-friendly cases that have unique design elements that make them ideal for the cold months ahead. This winter, having the right iPhone 6 case can really help you handle a snowstorm. Read on to see which five cases we’ve highlighted as the best iPhone 6/ 6+ cases for Winter 2014.

1. Powerskin Pop’n 2 iPhone 6 ‘Case’

When heavy snow brings down the power lines and leaves you without electricity, you’ll want some kind of external charger to keep your iPhone all juiced up. This sweet battery accessory for the iPhone 6 isn’t exactly a case, but it does give your iPhone 6 a little extra protection. The PowerSkin PoP’n 2 doesn’t wrap around the whole phone, or even the whole back of the phone, but it does cover part of the back of the iPhone 6.

This battery boosting accessory protects part of your phone, while also increasing your battery life. If you don’t want a traditional case, this might be a good accessory for you. If you’re looking for an iPhone 6 battery case that gives you all-round protection, this model from i-Blason is a serious contender, too.

2. Griffin Survivor iPhone 6 Case

Get a closer look at this case in the video above.

If you’re looking for a rugged case, the Griffin Survivor is one of your best options. It’s designed to withstand windblown dirt, sand, and rain, as well as shock and vibration. That being said, this water-resistant iPhone case isn’t designed to be totally submerged in water. It’s not quite snowproof like the LifeProof Fre case, but this rugged case costs less, and is still rugged enough to give you peace of mind…particularly if you’re not the type of person who takes your phone with you when you’re snowplowing the driveway.

3. Speck CandyShell Grip iPhone 6 Case

Speck has been making the CandyShell Grip cases for many generations of iPhones now, and iPhone fans keep getting the same case from Speck, year after year. It comes in a huge array of colors. The grippy lines on the case make it easy to hold onto when your hands are a bit sweaty from hitting the gym. Finally, despite its low price, this phone has been military-grade drop tested.

The grippy lines on the outside of this case also make it easier to grip when you’re wearing gloves, making this an ideal case for an iPhone 6 owner who wants something slim and cute to put on their phone this winter. After all, not everyone wants a bulky, rugged phone case.

iPhone 6 cases are already showing up on Amazon.

Apple has reportedly scheduled a special event for September 9, which many suspect it will feature the public debut of the next iPhone. While rumors have swirled for months about the release of Apple’s next generation phone, very little has been confirmed about the device officially. Still with the event right around the corner, enterprising accessory dealers have already pounced for early adopter money by listing cases for the “iPhone 6” on Amazon.

We would suggest using caution before buying any iPhone 6 cases before the device is formally announced. Currently, every case being sold on Amazon is 4.7″ long. While, again, nothing has been confirmed, there are rumors that Apple a larger iPhone. Isn’t it worth waiting until the 9th to pick out the case, on the odd chance there’s more to the story than these cases imply?

Currently several manufacturers, such as i-Blason who already make products for Apple products, have listed iPhone 6 cases on their websites. If Apple announces a larger model iPhone, do you want to buy a case now for the smaller size device? Save your money. In the worst case scenario you’ll have to wait a few extra days to have your new case delivered to you. If it saves you the hassle of returning it if we get a surprise on the 9th, the wait will be worth it.

First comparison photos of black and white 4.7-inch iPhone 6 screen glass.

Photos of physical mockups and various parts for the upcoming iPhone 6 have been leaking out an almost weekly basis over the course of the past several weeks. However, actual parts for the display cover for the larger phone have yet to leak out. Today, a source has sent us several photos of purported display glass covers in both black and white variations for the 4.7-inch iPhone. Apple is also working on an even larger 5.5-inch “phablet” model, but we do not have photos of the screen covers for that model…

The above photo shows a comparison of the size between the 4.7-inch display and the 4-inch screen on the iPhone 5s/5c/5. We previously posted images of 5.5-inch iPhone screen backlighting components. The images do not indicate any breakthrough new features for the next-generation iPhone, but the availability of these parts indicates that the new iPhone is nearing mass-production ahead of a launch this fall. A new hole appears to the left of the ear speaker, but it is unclear if this is a re-located FaceTime front camera or a proximity sensor. The variation in port location from part-to-part could be due to production of parts still being in early stages. It is possible some pieces were produced earlier or later than others. The edges also appear to be slightly curved.

In addition to a bigger screen, the new iPhones will include a thiner and rounder metal case, new sensors, improved cameras, and a more efficient A8 processor. A sapphire crystal display coverhas also been rumored for the larger-screened version.

Dubious iPhone 6 cases already rolling in.

It may be five or so months before Apple launches the iPhone 6, with very little known for sure at this stage, but the case makers have already started firing-up their 3D printers.

French site NoWhereElse has posted photos of what claims to be transparent cases for the iPhone 6, with a cut-out for the rumored new position of the power button, on the side of the phone, opposite the volume buttons. Oddly, however, there is also a button-shaped cut-out on the top of the phone.

NWE acknowledges that the source of the photo has no track-record of leaks, and we can’t see any reason to believe this is anything more than the usual attempts by case companies to guess what Apple plans to launch – a move that can sometimes have expensive consequences.

However, it has been known for case makers to get it right, basing their designs and measurements on molds from Chinese manufacturers, so it can’t be entirely discounted.
