I made some short video reviews of my current cases. I have some more cases on the way that I will add to the reviews below.

This case isn't for everyone but I enjoy the nice look of a "bumper style case". The case isn't what I would normally call a bumper case but its still nice for $7. The buttons have an alright feel (they can get a little spongey) and the protection is what you would expect from a bumper. The bumper makes my phone larger than the Spigen Ultra Hybrid which is surprising considering that its just a bumper and the Spigen is a full case. The design could have been better by making it smaller. The charging port is a fair size and will fit the stock cable just fine with a very minimal bulge. The headphone cut out is also on the smaller side but it should fit most headphones. Overall its a decent case for the money, and if you want a bumper I'm sure you will enjoy it.

Thanks I'll fix the videos when I get home today. I'm waiting in a class to start currently so I can't change them until its over.
OP Updated Nillkin bumper added
Anybody have these cases and can give some pros and cons of each?
I've owned both, unfortunately my Ringke slim cracked but it was a decent case, i still have the Orzly and i love it, people usually complain about how flimsy the button area is, hasn't bugged me enough to complain, if you want something thin id give it a shot (Just dont go thinking it will protect your phone from falls, it's more like a skin), I've been using the Diztronic Full Matte Black and it seems to be my fav so far aside from the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. Only downside on the Diztronic for me, is the oem cable for turbo charging doesn't fit completely through the case. It does go through enough to charge the phone however but I am picky on things like that lol.
Ringke all the way, had it for my N4, N5 and N6 now.
Currently rocking Spigen Slim Ultra Crystal, Ringke Slim Crystal and Ringke Slim black.
i love the flexislim, will only use cases as thin as this.
but too bad my white one turned yellow.
and shipping from them is too expensive to my country......
I have the Ringke fusion and I'm happy with it. The dust covers are, useful, but impervious they are not. The screen protector that comes with it is middling at best.

Here's another one, Sojitek. I'm currently using this one in my rotation of thin cases along with the Ringke Slim, Ringke Fusion and Spigen Hybrid.

I guess it depends on what day it is, what case you use. I'm up to about to about 8 cases now. I change often.
So I bought the Spigen slim armor with kickstand case just recently and found that it is rather a thick case and added bulk to the N6. It in turns made the N6 not be able to fit the car mount I bought. Anyone got recommendation for a good slim case?

Ringke Slim Case.
But keep in mind. Slim cases like this offers less protection.
I really like my Diztronic case. It's thin and feels well protected. A few videos on YouTube where people do drop tests and it came out without a scratch.

Got the diztronic... its not like its slim
The slimmest i have is ringke
Try Orzly case, it is very very thin.
The Ringke Max is actually pretty 'slim' with a lot of protection. If you want close to naked feel, then the Ringke Slim might be best, but really not that much protection.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].
I ordered several generic gel jelly slim TPU.
First one to arrive is one with a logo that reads INSTEN and I am very impressed by it.
It's tight (queue up Micheal Meyers), lip is thin and holds on to the frame without going over on to the glass, barely raised ever so slightly higher than the screen.
It makes the screen/viewing pop out (it might be the color I chose, yellow).
The cutouts are great, the thinly covered raised areas over the power and volume rocker are just right (if you have the slim armor you might experience what I have, where touching the buttons is just too sensitive).
Grippy and sturdy. Knocked some on the table, I'd use it to press some buttons, sure..
I might go order more colors.
Usually I like Goospery Mercury Gel TPU cases on my phones, but haven't found any made for the N6.
EDIT: easy in and out from pocket.
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the slick wraps full body because it does not add any bulk and provide some protection.

That INSTEN case is identical to the Caseology cases. Probably made in china, and companies just put their own name on it. But they look OK with medium protection.

I'm not doubting your choice, as it's your phone. But any "protection" you get from a skin will be just to prevent scratches and no drop protection. Good luck.

I dont have the caseology, but from the images I can agree, sans dimple. It's a good thing being at 1/3rd the price. I went ahead and bought green and black as well. It is so far my fave case.
I'll add, you know the form, shape that the phone has, makes it fit well in the hand and really gives it that unique feeling that it is a much smaller phone. This case INSTEN keeps that feeling intact..

I also really like the diztronic case. Minimal and functional.
I actually have the carved case and it's really slim and seems somewhat protective. Especially since it's made of real wood!

Agreed. Fairly protective without being too bulky. Good grip too.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that preserves the top heaviness and dramatic tapering of thickness at the bottom of the phone? Basically I'm as concerned about drop protection as preserving the original "feel" of the phone.
Any reviews or feedback on cases. I've always used a thin spigen TPU case with the carbon fiber look. Wouldnt mind another one or a suede feeling case.
Most of the good looking ones on ebay show no cutout on the rear for the fingerprint.
Thanks
I ordered the FitBag Beat in black from Amazon.com for the Xioami Mi Max 2 and it is the perfect fit sleeve/bag for the Mate 20 X. It works by itself or with the gel Case that came with it. Add a wallet sticker dohicky thing and it's a prefect wallet sleeve.
Here some really good and good quality smart (wake & sleep) flip cases from Aliexpres.
Those on the picture is genuine leather [emoji1303]

For those of you who like the transparent cases i found one that is awesome. It has more screen protection than the stock case and has more corner protection. It's one of the best clear cases I've bought. It's similar in quality to a Spigen or Rinke Fusion case but 1/3 the price. I bought it from here:

Grippy?
Anyone know where can I find this case?
I got this case and I feel it could provide decent protection. I am never a fan of thin or thick case. It's impossible to provide enough raised edges on thin cases. This case isn't perfect but I didn't find anything better yet.

Just Google MojoSkins.
I got a few from them. Thier full protection skins are great but hard to get on perfect. The back portion goes on easy as the skin is thick making application simple. They also over back protectors (no side/top/bottom flaps) that I think work best.
Bought this J&D case off Amazon for $10.99CND. Not too bulky. Wicked drop protection soft TPU inside Hard shell outside. Plus has plugs built in to protect charger port and headphone jack. Plus the volume and power buttons are super clicky. Highly recommend.
The clear TPU case provided with the phone is functional (I dropped my phone onto a hard floor with this case on and the phone was fine), but I do find the phone 'slippery' to pick up with this case. I have the Nillkin nature series tpu case for my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (same size phone) and it is great because its edges are coated with a frosted grip material. Nillkin make this case for the Mate 20 and Mate 20 lite, but not for the Mate 20 x. Does anyone know of a similar clear TPU case that (unlike the Huawei one) has frosted edges for a better grip?
I have quite a few cases and have a few more on the way. I was thinking of doing a case review eventually.
Still no cases made especially for the stylus pen?
Ditto on looking for a case that will also hold the pen.
Found one with pen holder!

i just got a Slim case from China, is made by TPU with a matte back ( no slippery ) finish. Is one of the most slim case i have ever seen, but in the same time it protect the phone very good. I got it for around 4 euro Free Shipping to Europe. it also come very good protected inside the package with bubble wrap
I have also look at another case ( Porsche Design ) made by TPU with a Tinted Tempered Glass Semi-Transparent back... i ask the seller to send me a Real Picture and he send me this one
Do you have some case to recomend? Ringke looks good as allways
Honeycomb armor case from Aliexpress similar protection to Ringke
Xundd case
Spigen has both rugged slim armor and tough armor cases. Rocking the rugged slim armor now currently but awaiting the tough armor with kickstand. All bought from Spigen website.
I like Samsung's own hard case for A70. It's basically clear but with choice of graduated colours.
It won't protect the screen from smashing or damage but it will keep scratches from the back and sides.
It adds very little bulk to the phone - in fact you wouldn't really know there is a case on. Amazon UK has them for about £10.
Aliexpress still has a good assortment of cases depending on whichever style you prefer. I always check the reviews before buying. Aliexpress withholds all funds which are not released to the Sellers until you receive the product and are happy with it. If there is something wrong where the Seller does not agree then it's easy enough to enter a dispute. Aliexpress will step in to protect their clients if needed. A very safe way to buy direct from China.
