I know a few people on here been trying to get answers about a bumper case since the Rhino Shield one fell through. I emailed and posted questions on Case Mate's Facebook page weeks ago and never heard back, so recently decided I would asked the same question over and over again every time they post something to Facebook and I'd post to their page everyday and email them everyday till I got an answer. Finally heard back this morning. Now the answer I got sounds like they will be making a Hula Case for the N6. The sentence that answers my question is kind of worded like someone with broken English wrote it. Here's the email I got:
Thank you for your interest in Case-Mate products. We are very excited to have cases available for the Hula Case for the Nexus 6. We know you are excited to get a case for your new device!
We will be updating our case selection daily as new inventory arrives. We do not have specific information on when the case or color you are looking for will be available. If we did, we would be the

Here's what the Hula looks like for the Moto X.
I hope this comes true, the Hula would be perfect for the Nexus 6
I want one so bad!!!
I so hope this is true

I'm guessing that someone didn't get the memo... Its nothing new to see conflicting CS experiences when inquiring about a product. I wonder which one will become a reality.

Maybe we should wait a week or two and ask them again. The Hula is the only bumper that I have seen recently that looks good unless another company wants to take up the challenge.

Not to mention that if another company tried, there would be patent stuff conflicting. I think we should just wait for a while.

People had the same case for the G3 when I had mind. It seemed to be popular but there were issues with it from what I remember.
I'm still hoping the hula comes out, but I'll definitely test this one

hey all,
I saw a guy in a coffee shop the other day with an incipio case for his ipad. I was very impressed with the features and build quality offered for the price. I have sent them an email including the engadget article about the tf outselling its competitors to provide a little encouragement. Take a look at there site and if you like what you see do the same. Below is that link and the one to their site.

http://www.myincipio.com/Cases-And-Accesories/Tablet-Cases.asp
AND... their folio cases use clips instead of the bezel covering method that most are using now.
that indeed looks great. please post if you hear bac from them, I'm interested
I agree that looks a nice solution and I could see myself using one of the kickstand cases if they go ahead and make one for the Transformer.

i love incipio's cases, and have had them on pretty much every gadget that i owned that they made a case for...i'll def be emailing them to see if they can make something for the TF.
A few of us in another thread emailed them. They said they have no plans for one...
It really pisses me off. I NEED a gel case.

nice! i wonder which case(s) they are planning to make
yep got the same reply signed up for notification
I have their two-piece gel/plastic cover on my iPhone and love it. Hope they come up with a similar product for the TF.
i adore their feather cases, and if they made one, i have a feeling it would work with the keyboard dock, which would be double awesome
It has been a month... Has anyone on their notification list received any news? I still don't see anything on their website and wanted to wait to see their options before selecting a case. If this is much longer, though, I think I will be looking at Tuff Luv.
Still no news on their website. They have cases for some other tablets though which seems to be a good sign.
this is getting annoying!!! apparently these morons who make cases don't do that much research....if they did...they would know that asus is one of the better selling tablets right now....but they make ones for blackberry playbook and not the tf101.
They made for Galaxy Tab, Xoom and Playbook.
That email on last page said they are making one for Transformer though. Don't give up hope

here are two emails i got from them:
Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry. We currently do have plans on releasing Kickstand Cases for the Asus Transformer. These are still in production and unfortunately have yet to be released. If you wish to be placed on our notification list for these cases, please reply directly to this email indicating your interest. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions or concerns.
Hello,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately we do not have plans to release our SILICRYLIC case at this time. We will gladly pass your interest in this item to our Product Development team to view. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.
So basically they are making kickstand cases.... which are exactly like the ones being produced already. Not the silicrylic for sure.... asking them about the feather, or ngp or even the hive. What a waste if its just the kickstand case
edit: now they are saying its the silicrylic and not the kickstand case...email as follows
edit: asked them what line of cases are being made... they retracted the statement and said its the silicrylic now.
Hello,
Thank you for your email. Currently the case that is in production is the SILICRYLIC case. I will be happy to pass along your inquiry to our product development team. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions or concerns.
I am in the ATL and got a chance to run by Case-Mate's headquarters today. Got some good info. they have altered all of their Galaxy S2 cases to have 1 cutout on the top and they are now universal for the AT&T model and the European model. They have the POP cases and Tough cases ready to go. The website was not updated yet though.
I grabbed a Tough Case today. I was surprised to see it is actually thinner than the Pop and the Otterbox Commuter (they had one for comparison). It has nice rounded edges and great feel in the hand. I have tried the AGP, Ballistic, Pop and Belkin and none of them worked for me. This one seems to hit the spot. I will try and post pics later.

Guys, just call them on their 800 #. They have a whole team of CSRs that will process your order right away. I went into the call center and they handled my order for me. That is the reason for my post. They have hem available now with the large cutout on top. All their GS2 cases are now modified. I saw black and white Pop cases modified, Tough Cases modified and the Barely Theres are already ok.
I like it better than the Otterbox for this phone. The rest of my family all have Defenders for their IP4s. I am a huge Otterbox fan. I tried the Tough for my Inspire and IP4 and did not like it nearly as much as the Commuters for both of those phones. The GS2 Tough is a different story. I like it much better than the Commuter. Its thinner and has better grip. Fit is awesome.
I am on the road traveling and cannot take any pics because the SGS2 is my only camera. I guess I could takes pics of just the case an upload them.
pics of just the case will do! thanks!
I just called and also did the live chat online and both people told me that they won't be available until early November .

Here are a few pics. The case is awesome. I have been using it on the phone while traveling and its working out great. Had a co-worker comment on the fell of it when I handed him my phone. Buttons are easier to press than without the case. The case is fairly hard to install since it is so form fitting. Surprisingly it does not add much bulk.
To the poster above that contacted them. Sorry but you got an uninformed rep. The only way we figured this out was by physically getting the cases from their warehouse. I ask them to bring out the cases so I could see if I could alter them to make them work with my phone. To her surprise and mine, they already were set up to work for the AT&T versions. Pics prove it below and I did not touch this case. Hopefully you can tell. No reason to lie.

I talked to a rep and I also talked to a person in live chat, so I got two of them that are uninformed. I also sent them an email again making sure. I want to make sure I am sent the right one the first time. I am going to email them again. Do you mind if I use your picture for reference in my email?
My GF got a pink "Pop!" and it was for international version so she called and got the same sort of response. That they don't and won't have any cases except the ones that are at the AT&T store because they signed an exclusivity agreement to only sell the cases in stores or some BS. Bottom line is that they fed her the same thing, no cases for the AT&T SGS2 for a while. Whatever. Case looks good though bud, I might get one of those when they do come out to replace my Pop! as it is just a little big.
I don't mind if you use my pic at all. I will say after reading abacon15's post, I am beginning to wonder if I was the one that had the uninformed rep. She may have sold me a case she was not supposed to sell.
One more thing, my case came in the normal green and clear Case-Mate box. It was not AT&T branded packaging. No screen protector though. Not sure if it should have had one of those. I haven't looked on the website.

Is this the one you are talking about that has been modified?

I get my upgrade in December and am looking to get the Galaxy S 2. I am using a Tough Case on my Inspire and love it. It has proven itself to as an extremely good case. I had it drop and hit concrete 5 times and the only thing it did was put a crack in the polycarbonate hardshell right next to the flash. I also work with tires all day and I would need this case for protection.

Hey guys, I've always loved the awesome leather cases made by Vaja (here are their GS4 cases) but they seem to not really support the Note series beyond one case for the OG Note. Considering many of us are looking to replace or cover the faux leather back with something more authentic, I thought you guys might help contact the company and ask that they support our device. Here is the contact page. Even if these cases aren't exactly your thing, more options and support for the phone are always good!
Got an email response this morning
Thank you for contacting Vaja. Unfortunately, At this time there are no plans to manufacture a line of cases for the Note 3. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Yeah, but they will churn out more stuff for the CrApple phone.
I emailed them about 3 weeks ago and they responded that they were not making a case for the GN3.
However, because of that response I was able to keep looking and found Trim Leather.

And they are definitely making one :victory:
I bought a Spigen Ultra Hybrid from www.Mobilefun.co.uk and when it arrived it was the wrong colour and also it had the cut out for the TV aerial that the Korean version has. Obviously I would rather have the case without the cut out and the right colour but I have sent 3 emails to them now and each email had the same 4 questions about replacement or refund and they seem either unwilling or unable to answer more than one question at a time but unfortunately it is the same question.
I'm wondering if they do even carry the Ultra Hybrid without the cut out, I know Spigen do one without it because I have seen it but Mobilefun are not much fun to deal with. They take 24 hours to answer each email with a basic reply with a link to their returns form.
Obviously at this point I would not recommend anyone deal with them but would be grateful for any help.
Thanks

Shame about your poor experience with them I've never had any issues. A lot of suppliers have confused the LG G3 models. Many eBay sellers in the early days were selling the Korean cases as well. I suggest you get a refund and try Amazon UK or Clove or Handtec.

Yeah I know what you mean but I think it would be easier to get a replacement from them rather than get a refund. I guess that waiting 3 days for an answer is the main problem.
I know that Spigen sells the right one but I'm not sure if Mobilefun.co.uk sells them. There is no excuses for bad service these days.

Many seem to like the site but ive had nothing but problems with them. Wrong items, claiming they have stock when they don't and the G Watch I ordered looked used and had a screen fault.
They have now replied on their site but I'm still none the wiser whether or not they carry the right case. You can see the reply on the site under the ultra hybrid case.
I've ordered some Spigen cases from another retailer on the web, we'll see if either of these show up with the correct colour and form factor according to their site. I've requested one red and one Android green. :fingers-crossed:
I've found that retailers on a certain Chinese wholesale site can often be easier to deal with and more reliable than some domestic retailers..

As I have said I got my refund from PayPal so no need for you to try doing something now when it is clearly too late. Even when I opened the case with PayPal you didn't contact me.
What you can help with is why my review was not put on your website? I submitted it over a week ago.
Btw Spigen was not very happy when I told them how you deal or don't deal with your customers.

I emailed Carved to see if they'd be producing cases for the Nexus 6 since they currently make cases for the N5 and this is what I got back:
"We are continuing to add new products to the Nexus line. Please keep checking our site for updates!"
That sounds like a yes to me! Not sure how many people like/use these cases but their N5 cases look great in person. I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.
Sweet cases! How bulky are they? Is hard to tell from the pictures on their site.

They're pretty low profile. I didn't have another N5 case to compare it to but the carved case didn't add a lot of extra bulk.
I have never heard of these cases before, but now I must have one. I really hope they add the Nexus 6 to their line.
Oh very nice! I'll get bamboo on my N6 after all. and they take bitcoin!!
That huge phone with a real wood back, or one of those puzzles... Sweet. I'm glad I swung in here today and found out about Carved.

I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.

Of a particularly relevant note here--they apparently do base what phones they offer cases for based on user demand, so it's actually kind of important to leave them a comment at http://www.carved.com/contact-us explaining why it would be a Good Idea to make a case for the Nexus 6. (One thing I did note to them is that--with a difference in scale, of course--the same template would be usable on the Moto X 2nd Gen AND the new Droid Turbo as pretty much all the Motorola phones are on the same rough body build. It does help in my case that I've built tooled leather cases for non-phone stuff, so I do kind of know what is involved in making a good case design. )

I did that as well... I plan to have my wife leave something, too. They sent me a $1 off coupon for my interest.
E-mail sent
and a facebook post also on the facebook fan page! I want an Ironside full wood case..that would be so awesome! love their work! their art! the skateboard one and the live ones also look cool...the ebony ones too..the full ones..i don't want no inlay one...i want that full wood look!! ha...yeah...love the art!
I've never been one to use cases on my phones but these are really nice. I've been intrigued about these wood finishes since I've seen the bamboo back option for the Moto X. Might have to pick one of these up. I'll shoot them an email to help them gauge demand.
looks like it may not be happening right away...

I bought 2 solid wood cases for me and my wifes Note 3's and both cases broke within 2 weeks really bummed me out because that case always got people's attention. It was not from carved.com so i don't know if there solid wood offering would be more durable.
Man I hope they come out with some soon.
So I submitted a request through Carved's website. My submission is in bold. Their response is in italics.
First, why are you contacting us?: Are you going to make a case for...
What device do you want us to make a case for?: Nexus 6
In your most convincing voice, tell us why we should make a case for your device??: This device is awesome and is very popular! So popular in fact, that it's been pretty much sold out since its release! It's being sold on all four major carriers and I would love to see one of your beautiful cases surrounding my device. If you make it, I will buy a lot.

The case they use for the nexus 5 appears to be a ringke slim.
Such a shame that Carved still haven't brought out a case for the N6. Has anyone found a good alternative elsewhere?

Have you checked out the natural wood skins from slickwraps?
Just received this from them.

I wanted to let you know that Carved.com asked me to beta test a Nexus 6 case on the 25th, it should be here in the next day or two, not sure what the rules are about testing it so I will confirm if I can post pics and comment on it. But I wanted to share that it is making progress.
