My experience was different. I bought one for my iPhone 6 and it was become a bit saggy and lost the tension with in 4 months. There was a tiny tear happened near the headphone jack even before it become useless. Finally I given up and bought something else in high street.

@scriptstar Yeah same experience here. The plastic seems to me a tad too thing and low quality to actually retain its shape for more than 3 months. Mine ended up looking like a saran wrap after a while!

@robjbye @scriptstar personally Spigen Air Skin are WAY better cases ;) - durable and super thin

@scriptstar yeh mine came a little loose after 5 months or so... but I bought like 3/4 and just switched them over. Granted this isnt the ideal use-case because you shouldn't need to but I cant stand a dirty case so like having a fresh one as often as possible (within reason - e.g. not my battery case!)

@scriptstar yea same, was amazing for the first few months. Felt great and my friends loved but then became saggy as you said. I've gone back to being caseless

@ljubicic yeah same. But I paid extra to deliver it to UK so the pain is more. I am thinking of going caseless too. 👍

@scriptstar Yup. I had the clear case and it expanded enough that dirt would get in it and turn it from clear to gross. Not worth it.

@scriptstar @robjbye @oplante @bentossell @farbodsaraf @ljubicic @cralor Hey guys, co-founder of Peel here. We've been listening to customer feedback and began tweaking our plastics formula a while back. As part of this new case design for iPhone 7 we're releasing the new plastic formula that should cut down on excessive stretching over time. While it's cert… See more

@scriptstar Yeah I fell in loved with this case at first sight, but sadly like the rest it lasted like a month with my iPhone 6 I have 3 other brands though lol they work but don't feel as gorgeous :(. thinking of getting this once I save up enough monopoly money to upgrade to the iPHone 7 I just bought a SE fml.

@marshal if it's a new plastic compound, it'd be helpful to communicate that. I'd call it PEEL 2.0 and then all of your past customers would take a second look. On your site, using terms like 'the original' make it seem unchanged rather than blazing a new trail based on feedback from the most critical users on the planet.

@scriptstar The fact that is so thin is great but does it really protect anything? If it does in your experience, for what? Like on a drop, on a tear, scratch? It is hard to believe it protects shocks.

@cemedericarak For my wife's iPhone 6S, this didn't protect against a drop. The phone still broke when the phone was dropped with the case on it. It seems more like it only protects against scratches on the back and sides of the phone.

@scriptstar I bought a case for the 6s a few months ago. Also became very loose. I emailed Peel and they sent a replacement. Replacement is now very loose. Cannot recommend these.
