Using @sampage & @grimfrog answers as a starting point, I was able to get a similar situation working

- (UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes *)layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)path

    UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes* attributes = [UICollectionViewLayoutAttributes layoutAttributesForCellWithIndexPath:path];
    attributes.zIndex = path.item;
    attributes.transform3D = CATransform3DMakeTranslation(0, 0, path.item);
    // other attribute settings
    return attributes;
}

My layoutAttributesForElementsInRect: calls layoutAttributesForItemAtIndexPath: when generating the attribute array - so I only needed to include the zIndex and transform3D there.
