If you're looking to armor up your iPhone 6 or 6 Plus with comprehensive front and back protection, you might want to take a look.<!--break--></p> <p>
Crüsta combines a hard shell case with a tempered glass screen protector along with a belt clip that rotates 360 degrees. I'm rocking two cases in these photos; a space grey iPhone 6 in one, clad in patriotic red and blue, looking decidedly superhero on the hip using the optional clip. Supervillains wear purple, so the exuberant iPhone 6 Plus dazzles in this very magenta-y purple and white. There are 42 different color combinations in all, so you can surely find something to fit your personality.</p> <p>The glass screen protector includes instructions which I recommend reading: Installation requires an alcohol swap to get off any fingerprint grease and other residue, a sticky "de-dusting film" that gets rid of any lingering dust, a microfiber cleaning cloth and a "scratch card" that helps you squeeze any lingering bubbles out. The tempered glass protector sports a layer of optically transparent adhesive on the side that touches your iPhone 6 Plus's glass screen. You must apply it carefully, or you'll get bubbles underneath the glass.</p> <p><a href='

The back sports a cutout for the iPhone's camera lens and flash. The polycarbonate bevel comes in blue, yellow, purple, green, white, black and red.</p> <p>The final protective layer of the case is a rubbery gasket that goes around the edge of the iPhone, with cutouts for the iPhone's speaker/microphone, Lightning port and headphone jack. Dust plugs cover the Lightning port and headphone jack when not in use; both are large enough to accommodate third-party cables. The Lightning port cover often popped a bit loose.</p> <p><a href='

Raised buttons enable you to easily click the volume control and on/off switch. That gasket also comes in different colors: Red, black, blue, grey, pink, and purple.</p> <p>The final piece is an optional belt clip holster, molded in black plastic. It easily rotates horizontally and vertically, so you should be able to find a comfortable position for it. Amzer has honeycombed the plastic to keep it lightweight, so it doesn't feel like the phone is pulling your pants down.</p> <p>The Crüsta adds some bulk to the iPhone, but the trade off is advanced drop protection, with front and back glass coverage and multiple layers of impact-absorbing material between the iPhone and whatever it's going to hit. Amzer claims the case has been drop-tested from six feet.</p> <p>The Crüsta isn't water-resistant, but it does offer edge-to-edge protection that should keep your iPhone 6 Plus safe barring any major calamity. And its customizable color combinations let you get as creative as you want to.</p> <h2>The good</h2> <ul><li>42 color combinations</li> <li>360-degree belt clip</li> <li>Tempered glass front and back</li> </ul><h2>The bad</h2> <ul><li>Front glass installation requires careful handling</li> <li>Outermost layer separated from case easily</li> </ul><h2>The bottom line</h2> <p>Check out the different colors you can get in the Crüsta - you'll probably find a combination that you weren't expecting. The Crüsta didn't impress me on the iPhone 6, where it felt bulky, clumsy and ill-fitting. But the iPhone 6 Plus case fit fine. The phone is so big anyway, more mass to provide this much protection is a good tradeoff.</p> <ul><li>$34.80 - <a href="
