Because I couldn't really find a design I liked on Thingiverse, i decided to design my own. I designed it with Colorfabb Woodfill - a wood like material - in mind, because since I finally got it to print, it's by far my favorite material to print with. Surfaces get really smooth, and if you print at 0.15mm layers, sloped surfaces also look very nice. The roughness of the material is very forgiving, and at the same time it makes the design look really finished and professionally produced. Of course you can print it in any material, but I think it looks best in Colorfabb Woodfill.
The iPhone 6 Plus dock has space for the original charging cable and has channels for the microphone and speaker at the bottom of the phone.
Supports are not needed to print this design. The channels are optimized for this, and your printer shouldn't have a problem with bridging the small gap behind the connector.
If you want to print it you can download the design on Thingiverse.
At the time I also offered printed copies through my 3DHubs page. That service and the original listing are no longer available.
