I have a midnight blue nexus 6 with a d brand carbon fiber skin, I am looking for a case with a silver bumper and a clear back. I am not a huge fan of the blue border because none of the skins really go well wound the shade of blue they used. I have looked at the spigen and ringke cases but it's not clear in the pictures if the edge is silver or clear. Thanks
I own this one, thinking that the sides would be a silver color. When i got it, it turned out to be a darker gray. I have a black carbon fiber back and it looks good. The only visible spots you will have of the blue frame would be at your charging port and headphone jack

Any chance of getting a picture?

Click the link he provided.
Let me get home from work and I'll post a pic. I will say it does look nice, but the clear shows wear. I'll try to get a pic of that as well
Here are two images of the case with a black carbon fiber back. This is my first time posting images on here, so hopefully it works

How did you get the purple lettering? I'm guessing there's a skin underneath?
It's actually pink carbon fiber dbrand skins. The phone itself came directly from dbrand, so they applied the black cover as well as the pink cover for each letter plus the moto logo.

I got a little bored, so I decided to order some 3M Di-Noc. Basically the same stuff as Skinomi uses but it's not pre-cut. Ordered a huge sheet. I thought to myself "I have pretty steady hands, and basically all I have to do is cut out a rectangle in some vinyl". Anyway, here are the results. Some things to note.
- I removed the rubber feet, applied the vinyl and then replaced them after cutting the holes out.
- The corners are the hardest part.
- Not for the faint hearted.
- I used the edge of the aluminum bottom as my guide, so the vinyl goes all the way to the edge.
Overall, I think the results are pretty good!!! Enjoi!!!!!

That looks sick! What's ironic is I was just on google trying to find a sheet of CF vinyl for the dock that matched my skinomi skin..lol
Very nice. What solution did you come up with for the corners?
Very nice job! I've surrounded my car stereo and the back of my galaxy nexus with cf di-noc..... this is tempting,,,,,,

Going slow, using a hair dryer to soften up the vinyl and being patient. All of these things are typically pretty foreign to me!
Cool different colors also. Also, consider that installation permanent.

Did a quick job of laying down a piece of 3M Di-Noc on my phone. Will reapply as time permits. Thought I would share the results if any of you thought about doing the same.

Good idea. Which color did you use? Looks like gloss black, is that right? I'm sort of wondering whether the gloss red or the silver would look too crazy.
Edit: For those wondering - http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com/blog/3m-carbon-fiber-di-noc-now-available-in-7-different-colors/
I got one coming from XO Skins. Someone on here had it and it looked sweet. I would rather pay extra and have it pre-cut perfectly then mess around with cutting it myself not to mention I would have to buy the tape still anyway. This is the one I got here They also have them in a few other colors, it also covers the bottom half of the phone. Use code SPRINTXO at checkout gives you 30% off about a wash for shipping.
I ordered mine from phantomskinz.com

I used the black carbon fiber film. There is a roll of silver cf sitting on my workbench, will peel of the black in the morning and will take a pic in silver.

Will it interfere with the antenna reception?

I don't think it will interfere with the antennas. Its only a thin piece of vinyl printed with a cf design. Far less material compared to a tpu case or otterbox.
I just ordered one from xoskins.com. i found this discount code on line that worked SPRINTXO. it saved me a few bucks i think it was 30%
i know is preference but i can tell you that i returned the white version (after a week) and got the black version today because of the BLACK BORDERS around the phone. The black version DOES NOT HAVE IT. u might think because is black it does have borders and u can't see it because the bezel and borders are both black. This is not the case. the black bezel covers all around the screen, while the white bezel does not. it's noticeable both in direct sun light.
here is how a white version looks with black border, i tried to live with it and it was so annoying that i gave up on it.
I'm not a fan of white call me a phone racist

I'm taking a really close look at my black one and I'm pretty sure it has the exact same gap that just stands out more in the white edition
OP are you serious? I'm pretty sure all G2 phone have that border, its just the black phone would be obviously harder to notice.

True
I don't give a crap about this border, I am still going to get the white one. The black one does have a gap as well but it is just less noticeable because of the black bezel around it.
Wow. Good ol xda.
Just slap on a big and extremely chunky case that greatly overlaps the front bezel. Problem solved! Lol.
Decided to see how the Nexus 6P's "visor" would look like in white / silver for the Frost / Aluminum models. I think it looks decent.

All of the sensors on the back are going to still be black btw, like with any white phone.

Can't hide them with white coating/stickers from Dbrand or Slickwraps? :silly:
I am just a newbie here with this technology.. What is a visor and how is it different from a case?

It's the black glossy bar surrounding the camera/sensors at the top. Google calls it the "Visor" (marketing term, I guess)
Wouldn't these block the laser focus?

Cool but it needs to be clear for the autofocus laser.
I think it kind of actually looks better with the black visor.

i'm anxious to see a teardown of this model. what is behind the glass? is the glass tinted/painted black or is there something against it that gives it the color?

The glass is clear, there's black underneath.

if that's the case - all of this hub-bub over what to cover it with is invalidated if we can just change the plate behind it. would be sweet if you could re-position the notification LED to illuminate the back panel.
I like the black bar and I'll embrace it. Went with the Frost to emphasize it. Besides, those chamferred edges on the Frost was just too sexy to pass up.

FYI, a real carbon fiber case is like wrapping your phone in a Faraday cage. Carbon fiber is a conductive material that will dampen rf signals. You are better off getting carbon Kevlar cases
