Spigen slim armor not great - Nexus 6 Accessories

Just in case anybody was on the fence about ordering one, I just got mine and I'm sending it back. I have one for my nexus 5 and it's great but the one for the n6 isn't the same. The n5 version has a soft touch coating similar to what the 5 feels like but the 6 version is slick, slippery plastic and feels cheap. Not sure why they changed it but I wouldn't recommend it. For a tough case I'm thinking I'll try the rinke max case when it's released, I haven't seen many other "tough" cases available yet.

Best case

Hi i am going to buy this nice phone in few days and i was wondering which case will be the best for me. I really like the original design of the phone but dont like this flip cases like s view ( in my opinion they are not comfortable for use correct me if im wrong). On the other side. There is the spigen ultra fit case but im not sure if it gives a good protection. So can you give an advice please?
Thank you!
I recommend the S-View Case and Back Case.
The quality is OK . I am quite satisfied with the case so far.

I have just purchased Holster case for my N3 and its really a nice experience to have this case on my phone....I got it from Amazon...so you can just check it out...its a bit pricey but cost worthy too...So I like this case
Everyone has their own opinion and preference when it comes to phone cases and the one I got was the Spigen Bounce http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-note-3-case-bounce.html . I had originally ordered this case because it is was inexpensive and one of the few that was actually available when I got my Note 3 on October 3. I got it so I wouldn't have to go "naked" while I waited for something better to come out. I'm so pleased with it that I see no reason to get a different one at this point. This case adds almost nothing to the thickness of the phone and I definitely feel like it's well protected. I also happen to think it looks nice.

if you want to keep it thin, this was the best case i could find to keep the "hand feel" of the phone.

I had the spigen slim armor and to tell you the truth, it isnt very slim.

I have a black Note 3 and have tried 3 cases.
The 1st one was the OEM S View Flip Case, which I returned without even putting it on the phone...
Next was Seidio Surface Case w/metal kickstand. Nice two piece case, but very hard to remove
from the phone once you have it on. Returned it
The 3rd case was the black Experience Case by Cruzerlite. This is a nice slim case and its what I'm using now.

Thank you for the replies! Now i'm going to decide between this 2 cases: spigen bounce and ringke slim

Ultra thin case ?

Hey guys,
Please suggest any ultra thin case for nexus 6. I can't afford to put a thick case, as the phone itself is huge.
Thanks
I've always used the Thin Fit cases from Spigen.
http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-6/nexus-6-case-thin-fit.html
Ringke/Rearth slim would be an option as well. Might have to wait a few days as they're still not available as of today
I am looking for a skinny case.. Something like a screen guard all over the device !
Any that have a good grip? Maybe something like the ballistic nylon back on the Droid Turbo? I'm not sure if it's the weight or the size, but I seem to be a lot more fumbly with this than I was with my N5. I'm getting kind of afraid that I'm going to drop it one day.

It's a very different feel than the N5 for sure. Still have mine. The N6 is so thin on the edges and metal. Add to that wintery cold dry air'd weather & this phone is slippery for sure. The N5 has the squared off wider edges and I have the ringke slim on it which is rubbery and grippy. Going to take some getting used to. I'm hoping the ringke slim for the N6 is made of the exact same material as the slim for the n5
I found this on amazon..
But how easy it to put?

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OC1QHVO/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_Tv6Bub10Z7Z4N
I use Bear Motion cases. Tight fit (no creaking or shifting), and great non-slip texture with minimal size for a plastic case. Not quite to the specs the OP mentioned in his follow up post, but those are tougher to come by. I had some from Zagg on my first Android phone (original Galaxy S, woo!), but I think Zagg has started to move away from their "full body coverage" to just do screens.

I have used Zagg full body coverage ones in the past, which you sprayed a solution on (vs the submersion that this listed product uses). It went on quite nicely. The solution kept it from fully sticking until you had it lined up, then you squeegee out the liquid and it sticks. Looks like it would fit well for what you want, just have to be patient during install and then be careful the first couple days to make sure that you don't start edges peeling before the adhesive cures.
EDIT: You also posted about the Skinomi one. I have the screen protector only, and it is VERY much like the Zagg which I've always used in the past. Those were pretty easy to deal with, as long as you sprayed enough solution on them to let you slide them around to align.

Just as another note, when I used Zagg ones their protectors were made in such a way that if you stretched them, lines appeared and made it very ugly. I don't know how Skinomi's or the other's product are made, but I would suggest doing your best to avoid stretching (making sure you have enough solution to prevent it from sticking unexpectedly, and having patience are the two biggest suggestions I have to prevent this). If you get one, please reply here to let us know how it goes!
I have a Cruzerlite TPU case and its very thin yet it will protect the phone from hard falls. I've used them on my Note 3, S5, G3, Nexus 7 and now Nexus 6

2015 - Best case for Nexus 6

Hey guys,
So I just order the Nexus 6 and I was wondering what the best case for it was.
Now that its 2015 and many of you have experienced different cases for the Nexus 6, what is your favorite case?
TUDIA Cruzerlite and Diztronic would be my picks in that order
My favorite is the Caseology

What caseology case exactly?
Using the Tudia as of right now, probably pick up a Ringke fusion soon.
Ringke Fusion + Dbrand Skin in the back.
Although, I haven't received my dbrand skin yet, Ringke Fusion provides good button feedback that is satisfying to press and eliminates the problem of accidentally pressing on the wrong key.
http://www.amazon.com/Free-Screen-P...0699780&sr=8-1&keywords=ringke+fusion+nexus+6
This is the one I recently purchased. Its REALLY nice. I like the one you have posted zephiK
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OHFGUDU?vs=1
Ringke Fusion Smoked is legit. Been holding it all day and has fair amount of grip and looks good!
Trident Aegis
Ringke fusion is best if u want a clear case, Ringke Slim if u want protection without adding any bulk, Cruzerlite Bugdroid if u want a tpu case with good protection and Ringke Maxx with tpu and hard back for good protection.

To add onto what prototype said (above) if you're looking for a slim case, get the black case as it has soft touch feel on them whereas the other color choices does not.

Ringke Max is my choice, looks really premium especially with a carbons kin showing underneath the plastic.
Does the Ringke Fusion still scratch easily? Also is the back PC with TPU sides? I was looking at getting one or maybe the Max.
I highly recommend Trident Aegis. I have the all black one and this thing is a beast. It offers amazing protection while still staying pretty slim. Its a little more expensive but I have no fears of dropping my phone now. Side note I have on a jelly comb tempered glass screen protector and literally do not worry about dropping my phone with this combo.

They have a revision out, I received mines but didn't open the package as I'm waiting for a smoke black to arrive as the revision replacement is crystal view. Wanted the smoke black to hide the outer trim of n6.
From what the representative told me, the revision is not yet fulfilled by Amazon. Kinda confusing when they'll have it.

Thanks, that's what I've been seeing in the Ringke OP. I'm going to wait until everything gets cleared up before I buy one. The case does look nice so hopefully it will get sorted out soon.

If you really want one right this second, you can start up a ticket and ask for a revised version.
They sent me a paypal invoice and is sending me the revised, paid ~$12 for it.
So sick of these threads. There is no "best case". It's 95% user preference.
I personally love the Ringke Slim and it is the best case for ME. No one can tell you what the best case will be for YOU.
I've just ordered Spigen slim but for now my favorite is Cruzerlite smoke.

Orzly Flexicase (Clear) First look and impressions(video)

Alright so I ordered this clear flexicase ages ago and it has arrived (finally). I wanted to do an unboxing and review. Let every (potential) buyer know my experience so I made this little video, my results and experiences may not be yours but overall the case feels good in the hand, any way. Here is the video:

Go ahead and like, comment, subscribe because I got more content, more cases and some comparisons. Also come back here and let me know everyone else's experiences and thoughts.

I wish Spigen would release a hybrid case for OP5 like they did for the Nexus 6. A clear hard plastic back with solid color TPU edges. It was great because the case never discolored like these stupid clear TPU cases we get today.

I mean it's still early in the OnePlus 5 lifespan, that's why it's like tryna pull teeth to find a good case. Hopefully tho we see some good cases. I actually have that one you're talking about for the N6 it's a two part case, with the solid colored tpu and plastic that slides over it I accidentally snapped a piece of the plastic tryna take it off and now it doesn't fit properly

Oh yeah? That surprises me. I kept that case on my N6 for two years and it was solid. I guess you got unlucky.
But yeah I don't have much confidence in that case making its way to OP5 because it never was released for OP3. They only released a version with clear TPU edges which will still discolor.

Yo could you take a photo of the two side by side, cuz I can't find that black one and I wanna see how that clear flexicase is supposed to look
I've got the Clear flexi case and my brother has one of the solid colour flexi cases. They are really solid case and can't go that wrong with it. Just got my Orzly wallet case and it seems like they are just using the flexi case as the holder in the wallet which is a great thing!

Hey man,

I prefer the coloured flexicases atm, they feel great, have great camera protection and a really nice screen lip

Best OnePlus 6T case?

Any good op6t cases?
I like my Supcase Unicorn Beetle. Everything is great about it, except the back is a finger print magnet.
I was eyeballing the rhinoshields, I've used them in the past and they are usually pretty great.

I use the Spigen Liquid Air Armor. I'm a fan of Spigen cases and have always found them to be high quality and moderately priced. This particular case has nice sized lip on the front to guard against damages from placing the phone face down on surfaces. The case is grippy in the hands and has a nice matte finish and diamond texture pattern on the back. The cutouts for the buttons and charging port are perfect and do not interfere with operations in any manner. It also doesn't add a tremendous amount of bulk on what is already a pretty sizable phone.
Spigen Liquid Air Armor for when I want to use a case. It's thin and the button feedback is the best. Spigen has, in my opinion, the best buttons on any case out there. Always clicky, always easy to find. Most of time I don't use a case because I use the camo skin from Dbrand. I may try out the bumper case from Rhino Shield. I tried it twice with for my Note 9 but I sent it back because the buttons were just too difficult to register a click compared to Spigen cases. I hope maybe this time around with the 6T Rhino Shield has improved the buttons. But it's still under pre order for now. Shipping "around end of December".

KuGi OnePlus 6T case
I just ordered the "KuGi OnePlus 6T case" from Amazon. We'll see how it goes. I was between this one and the Spigen. I have almost always bought Spigen cases for my previous phones but figured I would try something different for once.

I'm thinking about getting that, been hoping they'll release it in black. But I need sticky so my phone doesn't slide all over the top of the dashboard in my car.
If you want to buy from OnePlus I suggest the sandstone and red silicone case. I have no complaints.

For the ones looking for a good cheap wallet case. I definitely wanted one with hard inner shell. Most manufacturers use the soft TPU Silicon inner Shell but I think it makes the phone look bulky and it also makes reaching the screen edges harder and sometimes connecting USB sticks harder or impossible.
That's why I prefer the hard inner case, they fit much more elegantly and slick. Disadvantage is the hard inner Shell trends to get brittle and break over time, but with these prices I would rather order again than use the Silicon version cases. Price is unbeatable!
I searched everywhere and finally I found what I was looking for :

They have 2 versions Black and brown, I ordered both and can only recommend!

Looks like Spigen is finally going to give us 6T users the Tough Armor treatment. But I hope they release more color options. I never liked the grey. Either all black or something with bright color.

How was their customer relations skills on Twitter? Because RhinoSheild sure needs to give their Twitter handler a vacation or something because they didn't seem too happy with my questions.
