iPhone 6 Plus case

My wife just got an iPhone 6 Plus and wanted a case for it. She really liked the Case-Mate Wallet Folio but the sleep button didn't work. We tried two samples; both had the problem.  Others online have reported hard operation. I could see why.

The sleep button on the right side of the iPhone 6 Plus is the same shape as the volume buttons on the left side, but it's flush with the body of the phone.  The case designers knew where the buttons are located, but they missed that profile. I surprised the clerk by buying the case anyway. With three layers of aluminum foil duct tape added to the case button (Nashua 324A trimmed to about 1.5 x 7 mm),  it presses the sleep button correctly. Works great.
