I don't know if these case is already uploaded here in this thread. Is anyone using the case? I bought this from ebay and want to know what you guys think about this case.
Here is the link.

I have two of them, while I do like many thing about the case, I don't like how bulky it makes the phone feel. I stopped using mine in favor of the Cruzerlite TPU cases.

Seriously? I mean the photo didn't look bulky at all lol... What about in terms of quality itself? Was it good?

I have the case and I don't think it adds much bulk. Especially for a case that provides such good protection. The quality is excellent but certain colors do tend to develop fine scratches on the hard plastic back though. That's why I went with the smooth black version. If you like I can upload pics later showing the case sitting next to the G3 so you can see the difference in size.

i have one too, agree with the bulky-ness, it's also pretty slippery
thing is, just about any case wil make the G3 bulky, because it's such a slender phone
haven't found a case yet that seems perfect for me
looking for something like the Nillkin bumper case, but even less bulky

It is certainly bulky compared to my cruzerlite ones. I still use it if I am going hiking or to a place where I'm likely to drop my phone. The Spigen saved my F400S when It fell down two flights of stairs. The case has seen better days, but my phone was unscathed. I can upload a comparison if you like. I have 12+ cases currently so I have a variety of options.
My Slim Armor cases are Electric blue, and the other is Gunmetal.

Obviously when compared to thin tpu cases it's certainly going to look bulky. I have it too and the G3 is still comfortable to use with one hand.

From what i can see, it really adds bulkiness to the phone... Oh well at least it will protect the phone though
As promised here is a brief comparison (my D850 just happened to be in the Cruzerlite. I haven't used it in a while so don't mind the dust)
Off topic Also if anyone want to see a particular color of the Cruzerlite just send me a message. (I have the blue, teal, clear, black, and green cases and a back or gold G3 for reference. )

Yeah thanks it is less bulkier. But i reckon spigen case will be more protective since its bulkier than the other? Thats my opinion anyway.

I don't think that one will fit the AT&T version. Someone else might have to verify that, but it says it's made for the International version.

I bet it does fit, as im pretty sure the discrepancy in size was probably an error in either measurement or conversion between metric and standard units. Every case people have bought for an international note so far has fit the at&t one, even the zenus capsule case, which is hard plastic.
The only things that do not work are replacement battery covers due to the difference in the location of the tabs, which what i linked to is not a battery cover.

I got my wife the tridea case from ebay, its pretty nice and offers better protection than most flip cases around the sides.
I got this case on amazon. Its the Khomo Executive flip case and I can honestly say that it's by far the worst case that you could spend (little) money on. it offers almost no protection aside from the soft felt stickers on the inside. its made from really cheap hard plastic and only snaps around the edges. after putting the phone in it the for the first time, i set it on a white painted bookshelf. it immediately took white paint transfer barely sliding it across the shelf. Im sure if i left phone in there much longer it would have transferred black scratches to my white Note. It barely closes shut and front flip overlaps the edges too far. Worst of all in the design of this is that it covers the volume key. One drop in this case would probably crack the plastic edges and break the phone. Ultimate fail case!!!

That's exactly what I was going for...good quality for a good price. It looked like what I wanted. And that would be a slim tough flip case that could handle a drop or fall and protect my phone. Sadly, this wasn't it, I'll keep trying to find it. I've got a quality case which is my daily but would like a flip style w/o the bulk.

looks nice! Executive and slim?
I know leather would be more scratch resistant but I've always felt the otterbox plastic/rubber was more drop proof!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Yeah. The Executive is all leather. Gives good protection but not as stiff.
The Slim has a hard shell and leather overlay. Better protection but more stiff. The Otterbox is excellent protection but more bulk. Depends on what you are looking for.

Exactly! otterbox should make a flipcase. And a slim one at that. Let us know what you think of these. I might have to forgo plastic for leather. If the slim leather fits well with nice corner protection, I'll be buying next.
Case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JW7AYYE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I purchased this case from amazon. With the thought in-mind that I could create my own graphics for the frosted back. The materials for the case are as expected, and seem to have a nice quality and feel to them. The black rubberized area around the perimeter of the case doesn't seem to get in the way of any charging, headphones, or the ir blaster, everything seems to work well.
The frosted back has a noticeably different texture and hardness than the rubberized perimeter. Overall the case doesn't add much by way of bulk or size to the phone, and the ability to create your own graphics is wonderful. Great case, I'm immensely satisfied!
I've attached a number of photos showing some random designs I've created using some random stuff from google images, and attached a zip with the photoshop template to create your own. Enjoy!

Very nice. Creative.
Definitely a solid case, although I find the hard edges of the case change the feel of the phone in my hand a bit too much for preference. Makes it more angular rather than super slim and curved. That said, I may not be able to resist slapping the Supcase back on with a custom design once in a while!
Thanks for sharing the template!
I also have this case and can confirm it is great quality and feels nice in the hand. But a bit bulky for me so will try the official Quickcicle case.

Same. I mean it's a thin case, but the phone is big. I might prefer even thinner case even at the cost of don't protection. Think this case will protect well. I don't find the edges a problem.
Have my eye on oem black cover replacement case eventually
I have the supcase as well and was at first amazed by its looks and build quality but eventually let down by its ergonomics and feel in the hand. My Caseology just feels way more comfortable to use while still looking pretty good

I ordered the Grey/Frost Clear one from Amazon, and it looks great on my white G3. The .3mm iCarez glass screen protector fits like a glove inside the case's bumpers on the front, making the whole thing completely seamless. Once I get my wireless charging sticker (and maybe a MicroSD down the line sometime), my G3 is set to go - I am EXTREMELY pleased with this combination.

Imagine the phone being 2mm bigger in all ways except the front, with grippy rubber sides and you have this case. The shape is pretty much identical to the phone itself; same curve to the back and all.

mine just arrived, i bought the black/frost clear one, too.
really pleased about how it fits, how it feels, and how it looks like. the shape of the bumper sides and the lips, the micro usb and 3.5mm port cut out, everything feels great!

No scratches at all on mine. Looks as good as they day I got it.
As the tile asks.
Was going for the Neo Hybrid, but saw on YouTube videos that it adds a significant amount of bulk to the phone, also in dimensions, and it's not that sturdy anyway!
So I need a lightweight case, which will protect the phone, should have a decent amount of lip at front to protect the screen, and the case itself should not be fragile. I find it meaningless when a case requires not to be dropped. I am scared about dropping the phone, that's why I need a case at first place
I personally love UAG cases, but I don't like the hardcore industrialist look on them any more, I need something very simple yet elegant looking, like the Neo Hybrid.
Thanks.
Look at the UAG. Its pretty lightweight but may be more bulky than what you are looking for

Which one? Commuter or Defender?
They are the ultimate cases for protection, but then again they look very tough and rugged, which I won't like for the Note 3.
Right now the only option for me is to get a bumper, and in bumpers I can only have two, that Bear Motion one as suggested on previous page or some Amzer one, called Border Case or something, but I have no idea if that case has that cutout for the temperature sensor! Has anyone ever heard of this brand Amzer before? I certainly haven't! This is the case I am taking about,
http://www.amzer.co.in/Amzer-Border-Case-Black-P97313.htm
If that case doesn't have the cutout then my only option is to go for the Bear Motion one, but I don't think paying 2X price than what it's worth is reasonable by any means.
Lets see.

I've got the Commuter. It's a lot more elegant in reality than it looks in the pictures. (At least the black one is). But yes, it's a but bulky. It doubles the thickness if you count the rim on the front as well.
But if you want protection, something slim and sleek will not do much good. I've looked for those options, but they're all more for show than actual protection.
The diztronic tpu might be what you're looking for. Uag, spigen or especially otterbox are far from lightweight. I own the uag and I can drop the phone on any kind of surface without blinking, that case has serious protection. Otterbox is a tank, for construction people.
Yeah thanks guys.
@ShadowLea: Yeah I know that a bumper will not protect the device like an Otterbox would do or a UAG, but I am not looking for that much protection, just protecting the corners will do fine in my case, I think.
@lvnatic: Thanks. I know about UAG and Otterbox. I have used the Maverick on my S4 for a good four/five months, and it can protect the device in a lot of situations, but then I got tired of its look, too rugged, and that too when S4's backside was all glossy cheap type of plastic. For Note 3 and its backside material I can't think slapping a case on it, I just love touching that fake plastic It feels too good. If it were Note 2 or S4, I would not think a second before putting a case on it, because they felt that gross, to me.
Anyway, thanks all for the suggestions. For the time being I am going with a bumper, if I change my mind and consider a more protective case later then I will surely consider the suggested cases in this topic.
Does anybody know of a case that'll work with Samsung's wireless charging battery panel?

I don't know if this would work for you, but the Ringke Fusion has a clear back, and includes a template for you to print your own designs for the back. You could have the most kawaii back ever if you find a decent picture and print it off to the specs necessary.
I found http://www.skinit.com/create-your-own. But No for nexus 6!
I think I should wait!
I don't have any pics of the case on the phone but I can tell you the fit is 100%. The built in screen protector is nice and clear and doesn't drag when you touch it. The port covers close great and don't flap or open unexpectedly. The power/volume buttons are easy to press and are distinguishable. I honestly don't have a single complaint .

I'm actually curious as to whether you could cut the clear back out of this one and make an edge only bumper out of it.
I don't know, maybe but i don't know if it would stay on the phone after.
I like the Armorbox a lot. I use it for work or when I go to the gym. Its nice and grippy on all four sides due to the slighty rubbery texture. I took the screen protector off because i have a glass one. Ive already dropped my phone back side down on a hardwood floor and the case took it like a champ.

Could you get a pic of the inside of the outer shell where the buttons are? I bought a Supcase Heavy Duty but it made horrible contact with the buttons on the N6. I had to be very deliberate with my presses to get them to work. I ended up returning the case but I have attached an image of my old Trident case for my Moto X showing what I mean. Thanks.

I like the Armorbox a lot. I use it for work or when I go to the gym. Its nice and grippy on all four sides due to the slighty rubbery texture. I took the screen protector off because i have a glass one. Ive already dropped my phone back side down on a hardwood floor and the case took it like a champ.

Haven't seen any reviews on xda yet so i figure i'll just post these up

Aero Armor (they listed it as LG NEXUS 6 ) but it looks like it does fit.

Wow that's one expensive case and they do look similar
I am about 90 percent certain I will get this phone. I've searched around and all these 'best' case threads for the last month IMO are useless because they don't have any requirements other than being the 'best' case people subjectively feel about them.
Here's a much better question, as I am looking for the 'best' protective case for this phone?
bulk/weight is not much of a concern. I want to know what you all think is the case to get to not have any worries about dropping it from say 4 to 5 feet on hard surfaces. Like all day dropping and not break a sweat. So far my searching has come up with:
Ballistic Touch Jacket
Supcase heavy duty
Trident Aegis
I've used the aegis before. I like the case, and am leaning to that one. Am I missing any other cases I should consider?

This is a good case. Thick silicon bumper with a hard plastic shell. I have one on order since it seems to be the *best* protection available.
Edit: You actually linked to the Nexus 5 Ballistic. You'll certainly want the **SIX**:

Also, you can get them cheaper on Amazon;

This is JUNK. Unfortunately, nobody in the Chinese phone case manufacturing business seems to know squat about mixing TPU, so every cheap chinese TPU case will have a "polycarbonate hard shell" over a flexible HARD TPU shell.
Trident Aegis

This one looks... OK. If the inner layer is made of a decent soft rubber/silicon (their site seems to be very lacking in details...), it should protect the phone well. I'm not really liking the SHAPE of the outer plastic shell though, the side opposite the buttons seems to have excessive cutouts and a fairly thin band.

I have one of these right now. Its actually very good. Not the thickest silicon bumper, but decent and strikes a fair balance between bloating it out and taking care of a drop. Not a chance it would take a whole 7 foot drop to pavement like the Ballistic claims on theirs, but probably fine for 3-4 feet. For the price, its a steal.
Get the UAG Case! Don't get that cheap case the other guy has. I'm using this UAG one right now and let me tell you, it's bloody fantastic.

Long time user of Ballistic. I can attest to their durability and drop protection. FWIW, I highly recommend.
As nice as the UAG sounds, Not sure about the single body. I always feel that a soft + hard shell will offer better protection. I'll have to do some youtube searching to see who's doing drop tests with this case.

Found a guy drop testing an S5 with a UAG case on, can't find one with the Nexus 6 though
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ybxd_XQJZ0
Oh and the case is basically the same as other cases with 2 shells one soft one hard, just merged together to make it thinner and lighter, but with the same amount of protection.
The ballistic case seems like it would take a good beating. Personally I think its fugly but it seems like your best bet.

Fantastic...thought it looks like complete amateur design hour. I mean seriously, they designed it and ordered the manufacturing without ever having seen or held a Nexus 6...they know it looks horrendous as you never see official UAG photos of the case back on a Nexus 6.

It looks amazing... Put it on the Nexus 6 and it turns into NexGEN! You can easily pop the logo off too if you want.

They didn't deviate from their previous design. UAG cases have all been the same except for the Note 2 case. I'm glad they put out the same design for the Nexus 6. Its the reason I bought their case for my previous 3 devices. Hopefully they offer more colors in the near future. The case feels good in the had. It has plenty of grip and good drop protection. The buttons are responsive, you can tell which one it the volume and power button by touching them.
I would steer clear from heavy cases, this phone is heavy as it is. I'm using a regular supcase protector and it wears down your hand after 10 mind of use.

Thanks for all the replies. Not sure on the ballistic myself. I don't like the aesthetics at all.
I will definitely get a heavy case.. i don't use my phone for too long for any given session but that might change with the much larger screen.

The UAG case is both lightweight, thin, and has very good protection. The case is military-grade drop tested too. It also includes a free screen protector if you're interested, personally I don't use screen protectors.

No it has not been tested as such. It "meets" a "standard" so loosely worded as to be utterly worthless and in no meaningful way a standard. To actually meet the standard, you have to state how you tested it specifically. And I quote from their n6 listing:
"meets military drop-test standards (MIL STD 810G 516.6)"
If they actually tested it... that blurb would have a different verb.
I think it is kind of a nice case...but, please recognize worthless cheap marketing for what it is, to sway people who don't think things through and see them for what they are.

Well, maybe not ACTUALLY military-grade tested, but it did save me a 3-4 foot drop onto my school's tile floor.
Personally I use the Ringke Max: http://www.amazon.com/Free-Screen-P...+nexus+6&pebp=1422593278769&peasin=B00OKRJNZM
I've (for some reason) always gone and gotten a Rearth (Ringke) case for my Motorola phones. Had Slim for my Moto G (1st Gen). Dropped it by accident a few times. Case took most of the hits, phone came out fine (luckily didn't hit on the front corners...probably would have cracked screen if it did). Got the Max since it offers a bit more of a glove-like protection for my N6.
Trident makes some good cases. I still have my Trident for my HAM2. It's a tank of a case, but increases thickness and width a bit too much for my liking. On top of that, getting it out of the case requires the use of a slotted screwdriver. Had to take it out once a week since the built-in screen protector would form some air gaps causing dust to get trapped. Ended up getting a slim case for the HAM2 becuase of it.
Other that Trident's claim that it meets and exceeds ANSI military spec (which is very loose definition as pointed out above), I've never dropped my HAM2 to test it. Though they do have videos up of others with Tridents on their Sammys and such throwing their phones across a room or running it over with a truck (and whatnot).

God no. That thing won't take a 2 INCH drop.

My Ballistic arrived last night.
Its actually a lot more slim than I was expecting. Not in a bad way, but in a "well planned" way. Looks great in person, and actually very nice to hold. The "screen protector" it came with (if you can call it that) is utterly useless.

Do you have proof of this? Other than one supposed cracked screen with the case on, I haven't found any proof that the phone would not survive a typical drop. And the one with the cracked screen seems to have fallen on the screen itself rather than on the case (point of impact is just on the edge of the visible screen).

It may not be the most heavy duty case out there, but I am happy with it. Dropped my N6 on Thursday while doing a walkthrough on a kitchen install, my heart stopped when my phone went bouncing across a brand new tile floor and landed face down. Not a scratch on the phone itself. YMMV but the case fits well, it doesn't add too much bulk and I didn't have to send my phone off to get repaired.
Thanks for all the input. I've settled on the trident + jelly comb TG. I'm hoping it will be a winning combination, will be posting picks. Ideally since TGs are all pretty small I would like a heavier case to have some overlap on where it drops off from the curve... but we'll see.
