Peel Super Thin iPhone 6 Case Review
I wish I lived in a world where I would never be clumsy enough to drop my phone and one where the materials that phones are made out of are totally scratch and dent proof. If I lived in that world, I’m the type of person who would never put a case on my phone.
Sometimes it seems like I’m always trying to find the balance between protection for my devices without ruining the design aesthetic of my little electronic marvels of science.
Those you are familiar with my reviews will know that I try out a lot of cases for my phones and that I prefer thin cases and I hate branding. I really thought that the envelope had been totally pushed to the edge until I encountered the iPhone 6 Super Thin Case by Peel.
I’m going to start out by stating the obvious; this is absolutely the most thin iPhone 6 case I have ever used period. I can’t overstate how thin this case is. Forgive the comparison, but if you have ever used an ultra thin condom, this thing feels more thin than that seriously.
In spite of the ultra thin design, the material provides a good grip for your hand and using it feels like there is no case on it at all. The design is a translucent gray material that is clear enough to see your iPhone branding through the case. While on the subject of branding, I should mention that Peel did not put their name on this case anywhere. If you’re like me and you get annoyed by large and obtrusive branding on your cases, fear not because the only way someone will know who made this case if if you tell them.
I feel that it is important to mention that this case will protect your phone from scratches, scrapes and other common dangers during everyday use, but I am not confident that it would offer much protection during a drop from waist height. That’s okay through, because you have to make some tradeoffs for a case that is so thin, it doesn’t feel like it is there at all.

Does the case offer any grip or friction compared to the naked phone?
Not really, if anything it’s less or the same as the naked iPhone. It’s so thin it’s like a layer of skin. I would say more for just keeping the back and sides from getting scratched up.
I have to disagree. I’ve had my case for about a month and first thought it would slide right out of my hand when compared with my previous silicon case but it has a texture to it that’s not slippery like the bare phone is.
Ours did not have any texture to it. When did you get yours. I wonder if it’s been changed up since we got ours.
I received it after Christmas. It’s not exactly a texture but it’s not as slippery as the phone without the case. I love that it’s so thin, much thinner than my Apple silicon case.
I agree it’s the thinest case I’ve found for the iPhone. What makes it really cool is all my docks work with it.
I would not know about the quality of the peel case because their customer service SUCKS! When I realized, I had ordered the wrong sized peel phone case, I left no less the 8 EMAIL MESSAGES trying to correct it! All auto-responded, but no one EVER returned my email. Next email I got was a shipped message with a tracking number, letting me know that my wrong case was on it’s way! I had to call USPS to refuse the shipment! Had I excepted the order, no doubt they would have nailed me for return shipping! Now it looks like I will have to call my bank, to reverse the charges. If they are this disconnected with their customer just trying to amend an order, the warranty process must be a nightmare!!!
I’m so sorry to hear that you have had issues with their customer service. I do have a quick question. Were you just emailing them using their contact form? There is an actual email address that you might want to try if you haven’t already. hello@buypeel.com I am surprised to find that that don’t have a phone number to call, but I haven’t been able to find one. You might also want to try contacting their parent company – Need Want hello@needwant.com I hope you are able to resolve your issues with them. It’s not a bad case. It’s just enough to protect from scratches, but not much else.
What is the material of the case? Can it withstand daily usage?
It’s a super thin material and it has lasted for over a year with no issues for me. Just remember. it’s only going to protect the phone from scratches. If you drop it the Peel Case wont protect from fall damage.
