This is my first review so take it easy on me >_<
I've always ordered otterbox cases for my phone's, this time i wanted to switch it up. Two factors led me to order this case over the otterbox, first i didn't want the charging port and headphone jack covered up by silicone, that always annoyed me about the otterbox case's. Second i wanted a commuter case and it seemed at the time know one had the black one in stock.
I received the case today and so far i am very pleased with the case, it fits REALLY snug and tight and its comparable in thickness to the commuter. One thing i did notice is that this is the only case i have seen that were the kickstand is located it has a circle which makes access to the stand A-LOT easier.
i'll report back on the durability of the case but so far i like the form and finish. One thing to note, for some reason case-mate has not posted the case on their site but their are couple reputable vendors selling them.
I bought mines of amazon for 24$ with shipping include
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-CM0...OGHK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338591300&sr=8-1
I had case mate pop on my 3D, my 3D is in perfect condition! I like the looks of it, hopefully BB has it thats where I'm getting my phone and getting the upgrade GC to pay for a case. No money left over after the contract buy out from Sprint
hey guys! as we all know the case situation for the gn3 sucks right now. I have preordered the uag in orange for my black gn3, I was using the diztronic and poetic invictus case up until last week when my gn3 took a slight but harmless spill. It got me to thinking that i need a little more protection until the uag arrives. The poetic invictus wasn't cutting it in fact I have using the diztronic exclusively after using the poetic invictus only a day. Ebay to the rescue! ordered a defender knock off that included a kickstand for 9 bucks shipped.Heres the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/40058067139...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Overall a very solid case with great protected especially for the screen the front lip is just as deep as the defender
Comes in multiple colors
the built in stand is adjustable from multiple angles and seems sturdy
The downside is NO portrait viewing for the stand and this case does not include dust flaps for the ports.
Conclusion, id say this is a very solid rugged case to hold us over until the uag and otterbox arrive, is it as high quality as either no but it is a great bang for your buck at 9 bucks.
i'll include pics(which include a side by side with the poetic invictus) and be please nice this is my first mini review guys, thanks.
starting this because i know there are some of us out there who require such a case. Thought we could save each other some time and/or grief and report what's available, what's shipping, what ad hoc solutions we've found, etc.
here's what i've found so far:
i-blason: liked it on N5. ships nov. 25
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Kick...=1415220229&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
fosmon: never heard of them. looks like i-blason. ships dec. 1
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-STURDY...=1415220229&sr=8-7&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
cellbee: never heard of them either. looks similar to the generic belt cases sold at verizon typically. ships nov. 25
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P1F0AX6?psc=1
supcase: i'll throw this one in here because it claims to be a belt case, but i see no evidence of this from either the pics or the description. ships nov. 29
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-...=1415220229&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
apparently this one is now shipping. first one to ship i believe

Good thread! I just pulled for the Moko. Not only is it supposed to be here Wed, it's a bit cheaper. I use a Steelie in the car and I don't like having the magnet on the phone and in my pocket so instead of having two cases I will just put the Steelie mount on the belt case clip and use it while in the car. For day-to-day I'll use the Moko and not have to worry about switching cases. I hope this works with Qi too.
The Steelie works great in the car as a mount. For the Moto X 2013 I can leave the case with the magnet on and NFC tap-to-pay works. With the OnePlus One, the magnet works great and NFC works but tap-to-pay will not work with the magnet in place. That means if I want to tap-to-pay I have to use a case without the Steelie. I think this Moko arrangement will work a lot better since I won't have to keep changing cases.
Just ordered the case from amazon referred to above.. For 6 bucks, free shipping with prime, and expedited delivery, it's worth giving it a shot. Seems to come in two parts, a protective case plus a seperate belt clip holster for sliding the device in and out of.

from the pics it looks to have a belt clip... the only thing im not to fancy on is the built in screen protector and its added size... everything else looks good IMHO
Seidio Convert
This case is not available or even announced yet, but I'm guessing it's probably in the works right now. In my opinion, Seidio makes the most rugged case for Nexus phones, called the Convert, which comes with a holster/belt clip. I had one for my N4, which got stolen :crying:, and currently have it on my N5 (pic below). If Otterbox had made their Defender case for my Nexuses, I probably would have gotten that instead. The Convert has no built in screen protector and is kind of pricey, but has major protection.
Seidio Convert for Nexus 5:
http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-google-nexus-5-convert-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr4lgn5.htm
seidio is mia. i ve emailed them a dozen times with nothing more than "we're looking into it". can't wait. got the moko case and it looks like a winner, esp for $2
I ordered the moko for 2 dolla. Mainly just for when I'm at work. I ordered a dbrand skin for the back too. Hopefully it won't interfere with the case fitting. If it does...the case was 2 dollars. Lol.
actually...that moko case is a damn fine case. looks like it will do everything i need it to do. of course, i don't have the fn nexus 6 yet to test it in the field, but it looks like it'll do the job just fine. best $2 case EVER...
I would love seidio to make a case for the nexus 6 but all I got was the generic response too. " we are looking in to it". Its too bad because I love their spring clip on their holsters. I looked into moko and unicorn beetle but didn't like the release of either if them. The spring clip from seidio is the best.
received the i-blason case today. i thought it was identical to the moko case but there are several key differences to note:
1. rubber section is far thicker and of a better quality than the moko. the moko was driving me crazy with the amount of dust it was attracting. this one is a much harder/more durable rubber. it's MUCH better
2. having said that, because its thicker, the buttons are a bit harder to press, particularly the power. works perfectly mind you, just takes a bit more effort to press
3. the hard shell is slicker than the moko. hopefully this will wear off soon as its fairly slippery as it stands now
4. the belt clip section is a clip in rather than a slide in. only got it tonight so i have yet to try it in the field. seems secure enough, though not as secure as the slide in of the moko. the advantage here though is i can take this out of the clip MUCH faster than the moko
5. if you have the moko, you can use this on the moko slide in belt clip if you prefer. i'm going to try the clip in holster for a bit to see how i like it
overall, a very solid alternative to the moko, particularly if you were getting annoyed by the cheap rubber collecting dirt
I got the SupCase Unicorn Beetle from amazon on sell for $12 taxes n shipped yesterday, actually received my nexus yesterday too. I got that price because the case wasn't out yet when I ordered it so it had them listed for $7.99 at the time.
So far I am very impressed with the quality. The built in screen protector is actually useful and doesn't hinder the screen at all. I did notice a bit of glare under certain lighting but nothing too annoying.
It does come with a belt clip and its a bit different from what I had on my note 2 but so far its functional and very sturdy product. Highly recommend.
well seidio finally has a nexus 6 page now. still coming soon and notify me crap, but its a start i guess

i really hope for a Seidio Dilex and holster combo!
Combination
I like to show off my Nexus and I have had too many bad experiences with belt clips with single clips. My combo is this Spigen case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I7UU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5 and this holster http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Holster-Pouch-Protector-Cover/dp/B00OX3Z89S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1419472114&sr=8-7&keywords=case+for+belt+nexus+6

Just ordered one. Cannot wait for it to arrive. I have had a UAG case on it since day one and I cannot take photos with the flash on. It leaves a smoky affect in the photos. How are photos with the flash on with the supcase?

Please, if you have any other cases laying around, let us know if the holster would work with the Surface holster. On past phones, I know I could get other cases (not all) to work with Surface and Dilex holsters. I have the Supcase hybrid case now. If Amazon were selling the holster, Id buy it in a heartbeat to test, because I know I could easily return it to Amazon.
I got my Unicorn Beetle Pro this past monday and I'm impressed with the quality. The only real complaint that I have about it is that they didnt flatten out the back of the case so that the phone lays flat on a table or something. Most annoying thing ever to lay your phone on the desk and try to do something on it only to have it start wobbling away.
crackberry.com has the seidio active case for 31.95, ships 1/22, use coupon code JB15 for 10% off NOTE. The cases and holsters are sold seperately, great if you just want the holster, or just the case.

i do construction and just got the note 8 . looking for the best heavy duty/rugged case
i wanted the otterbox but read really bad things about it so i dont think ill get that
i . was looking at the spiegen tough armor its pretty cheap looks good and seems good
any suggestions?
So Here is my 2 cents.... The Tough Armor is a great choice BUT... only works well with a small number of CASE FRIENDLY screen protectors.... I am currently rocking the SAMSUNG BRANDED RUGGED CASE and I LOVE IT! Tough Armor will probably provide a little better DROP PROTECTION ( I'm guessing because of the 2 layered protection) but the Samsung seems tough enough and works with a FULL SCREEN PROTECTION FILM PROTECTOR, and LOOKS GREAT TO ME.
Ghostek Nautical... hands down thee best. I've dropped this thing from atleast 15 feet up and not even a scratch on the bumper! Also waterproof to 20 foot down.
I have the Urban Armor Gear Monarch, I like this over the Ghostek, a little more $$ but definitely worth it. I have a case friendly screen protector film on it too.
Second on the Urban Armor Gear it's a great case from my experience from them. I however am rocking a clear Spigen case.
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro
It is a very good price and good feeling.
Protects and feels better than the otterbox, lasts longer than the otterbox, protects better than the otterbox, has a belt clip, has a screen protector unlike the otterbox, WAY less money than the $70 otterbox, Wireless charging and NFC work through it, It is decently slim and easy to fit in mounts.
I have this case and have dropped my phone 9+ times and it sounded very soft when it dropped so it was good protection apparently
Around $7 to $12.
I just got the M51 and i got the Spigen Rugged Armor
it was on amazon for $13
Fits good but makes the phone feel even more bulky (i'm fine with bulky)
but has nice protection
I got it here if you're interested https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089ZW6SW1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I got the same one. Though this is the costliest option available in my country, this is really good. This have me the confidence that the phone will survive a fall.
I would recommend this to anyone.
