Nexus 6P (Project Fi) Waiting Room - Nexus 6P General

This thread is intended for those who ordered their Nexus 6P through Project Fi to sound off their experiences thus far, but since most don't have their phones yet; it is instead a waiting room. Now, I know that there is already a shipping waiting room thread, but this thread is intended solely for orders of the 6P through the Fi, which has different stock and availability from that of the Google Store.
Though not required, it will help to include all the gist of the order: (date ordered, color, memory, expected ship date, etc).
If your phone is already in hand and you would like to share your overall experience with the 6P on the Fi network, you could post so as well.

I saw so many orders shipped early... so I was hoping that mine would be one of them, but I'm still waiting. I am financing through Project Fi. Details are below:
Date Ordered: 10/5/15 (I preordered through the Google Store on launch day, then decided to finance it through Fi, so I canceled my original order)
Color: Graphite
Memory: 64GB
Expected Ship Date: Nov 12-16
Status: Pending
At least I have time to get accessories before I have my phone. So far I got some plastic screen protectors (and preordered the Skinomi TGSP), the RavPower USB C portable charger, and a couple of very cheap microUSB to USB C adapters from Ebay. Still looking for a car charger (might settle for the Tronsmart one) and a case (might settle for the Verus case).

cheapest portfolio for fast delivery

All the nice portfolio cases (roocase & tuf-luv) are going to be out in July.
I'm looking for a really cheap one to hold me over. I hope to get one fast (hopefully from within US) for under $20 including shipping. Anybody seen anything?
This one is supposed to be pretty good.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1084303
if you search ebay for " SOLO iPad and e-Reader Jacket - Black/Blue" you find it for 17 bucks.
I ordered mine but am still waiting for delivery. Anyone else got this since the last thread was last bumped?
RooCase is available for shipping ??!!
Roocase is pre-order on Amazon thru PCMicroStore (July shipping). But they're available on PCMicroStore website directly:
Just search for "asus transformer" on their website (I can't post a direct link).
It has free S/H, so about the same cost as buying via Amazon.
I used this coupon code for 20% off "20OFFTABLET". So it's about $25 shipped. I believe the code lasts for first 1000 users.
Just ordered, so don't know if it will ship soon.

Thanks for the info! I ordered the black folding case. I'm hoping it's thin enough to fit inside the Case Logic netbook sleeve I bought from Amazon, so I can have some extra padding for it during transport.
I got the solo. It's quite well padded but a little pricey and it doesn't stand up on its own.
anyone get their hands on the roocase yet? is it well padded? it's hard to tell from the picture.
Hm, trying to decide between the executive and the multi angle. Does anyone have an opinion on whether or not one uses an angle other than 45 degrees for viewing on a table?
I ordered my roocase last night and since then, they changed it to preorder, shipping on 7/11.The rep stated they are waiting for them to come from China. That's too long to wait so I cancelled my order.
If there's one thing I hate, it's a site that says an item is in stock when it is not (and, in this case, apparently never was). I cancelled my order, too.
My rooCase pre-order availability date from Amazon moved from July 11 to June 30. Interesting...
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I've been watching the RooCase on Amazon. It was July 3rd, last week then up to July 11th. Hopefully June 30th is actually the date. I need to get my order in.
For anyone looking for more detailed pictures, it's probably going to be very similar to their cases for the Xoom seen here:

Bring on the cheap cases
There's a couple of auctions on ebay one @$13.69 shipped and one @$15.68 shipped. Both sellers are from California.
I think we are at the point where the Transformer accessories aftermarket is beginning to settle in.
Now we just need those chargers and cables.

I dunno, by the time you receive this shipment you could have just preordered either one of the rooCASE or the Case Crown cases that are coming out in 1-2 weeks and shipping from within the US. Also, if you do have to ditch the first case, it is $15 wasted.

weird, the replacement adapter (without the interchangeable prongs) are also $40.
however, i guess that one article is true, asus sold the TF with a moderate price, with plans on making bank on the accessories.

They said the website will be updated in 3-4 hours with due-in dates.
Too bad.
Yeah, ASUS appears to be lagging on all accessories across the board. I'd be weary of in-stock dates unless it is on the manufacture site itself.
I don't believe that the accessories will ever come out.

Asus should (but probably won't) offer the adapter prongs as an accessory without making us purchase a second power supply. $10-$15 would seem to be a fair price and allow Asus to make a profit. One could always buy non-dedicated travel adapters, but I'd rather pay more and be sure that I won't make a mistake and create a short circuit.

I was all excited when I saw in another post that they say "In Stock" at excalibur PC. So I of course went and ordered a few goodies... And then I read this post.
I will be calling tomorrow... And if I get the "not really in stock" turd burglar response - I'm cancelling my order... It seems pretty clear that they know (and knew) that their site was showing bogus "in stock" information - that they clearly left it there is pure deceit, in my opinion.

Just send an email to cancel, they will likely do it within 48 hours. It is possible the stock will arrive in next few days, but that is unlikely since these items are no where else on the web.
They updated their website to show not in stock. I ordered some stuff too. I am waiting to see what they do with my order. LOL

rooCase Slim-Fit Folio Delayed

Sad Panda
I had finally settled on the rooCase Slim-Fit Folio through Amazon (via PC Micro Store) as seen here:
http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Slim-Fit-Adjustable-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B0058DLAA8/ref=pd_cp_e_3
Originally listed as available on July 18th, I ordered it last week in hopes of having it by Friday to take on vacation (and paid for expedited shipping as well). However I noticed today that the "available" date had been bumped to July 20th, and I hadn't received any shipping notices, so I fired off an email to check things out.
Unfortunately the case is now delayed until July 26th, which is when "they" will receive their shipment, and then start shipping. This won't work for me, as I'll be laid up in a Cabin in Colorado for 2 weeks The person who responded was very nice and apologetic for the delay, and offered to refund my expedited shipping charge (14.99) and still send the package expedited as soon as it was available. While a lovely gesture, it just doesn't help me in my current situation.
So now I'm without a case, and definitely need one before we leave on Saturday.
In your experience, do you think I could get a case (rooCase, Caseen, etc.) online and shipped in time for my trip without spending an arm and a leg, or should I head to Best Buy and try to find something that I can jam the Transformer in for my trip.
Just wanted to share the delay of the case, my good experience with PC Micro Store customer service, and ask if anyone had any suggestions to get something in my hands by Friday or Saturday. Thanks!
Great looking case!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
I am in the same boat, minus the 2 week vacation. I do fly out Friday as well, but I will be flying back on Sunday. I also got the same email with the offer to refund the expedited shipping and still expedite once they get them in stock.
I have been traveling with just the cheap hp case and a stand:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0033RSNPG
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0049H8W1Y
I was really looking forward to the slim-fit though. As for other similar cases, anything roocase is out as there only looks to be one supplier for them. For any of the other ones it just depends on who is actually doing the shipping. Amazon is usually very good about making next/2-day as per the item page. You just have to be more careful about the purchases that don't actually come from Amazon. Whatever you are going to do, I would hurry up. You are just on the edge of rolling over to another shipping day for Amazon.
Good luck.
Edit: Yes...I am a sad Panda as well.
I ordered the same case but have been waiting since July 6th, I guess one more week is not such a big deal.What is a bit disconcerting is that the email says they will mark the order as shipped on Amazon.
+1 on the sad panda. But m not going anywhere and my transformer stays fine on my couch, without a case. Just saved some money! not so sad a panda now that I think about it.
Sent from my cell phone. DUH.
Thanks for the sad panda support guys! I went ahead and canceled the order, went to my local Micro Center and bought a cheap neoprene sleeve to hopefully keep my TF safe during travels (and kept the receipt and tags). Certainly not ideal, as I really wanted a folio that I could use to protect it and let my 20 month old son watch movies in the back seat on our long drive. Ah well, we shall perceiver!
Hopefully while I'm away, you guys will get your slim-fit and post some thoughts. If it's favorable ill go ahead and order one when I get back.
From the pictures, with this case we can connect the keyboard without removing the case, right?
I think I'll get this one.

Bump- as I also would like to know this...
I've been holding off because I'd really prefer buying a case that allows me to dock without removing the TF and I don't want to spend money on the Tuff-love because it's too expensive for me.
I ordered this case as well however I just canceled it. I found the Acase version of the slim fit on amazon that is in stock with free shipping. I originally paid the $20 for expedited shipping that wouldn't arrive until after Aug 4th to an FPO address. However the Acase offers free shipping that will arrive between Aug 1st and Aug 4th, or for the $5 shipping they have a guaranteed delivery of Jul 30th. The Acase version can be found at

Cases/sleeves in Canada

Alright my fellow Canadians, if there are any, if you have a Prime you're probably just as pissed as I am about the lack of anything for this tablet up here and even more so I'm pissed at Amazon for refusing to ship anything here. SO, if you see anything for the TP in/available to Canada, post it up here
pretty sure there aren't any sleeves for the prime yet at all. I went to staples and bought a generic netbook 10.1 inch sleeve from targus. Its a little fat for the prime but I figure it'll fit in there much better when my keyboard arrives (if ever)
Basically. Just take your prime to an electronics store and see which sleeve it fits in
I'm waiting for my Prime, but I've been lurking on this sie for a case too. I was hoping to get that roo-case listed here from Amazon. I haven't tried to order it from Amazon.com, but I did read that they will ship to Canada.
What is their reason not to ship to you?
I noticed a few of the cases would ship from amazon.com to Canada - sadly, not all, but there is some selection.
So far every one on Amazon has refused to ship up here :-( just says sorry can't ship to your address

Waiting to see what else shows up myself before just grabbing whats available, though.

I just got the case today and I must say, it is quite a nice case. It neoprene on the outside and suede on the inside with a pouch on the outside for storing cables and such as well as a small spot for a thumb drive.
If you are looking for a soft case with good padding I highly reccomend it.

Hey guys, email them, you'll get it for next to nothing. Amazon has some stupid requirement that things have to arrive within like 5 - 10 days at max or something like that and the only way for them to meet that is to charge $25 expedited. If yoiu email them and say you're in Canada, the guy told me he'll ship it China Post but it won't be within to 5 -10 but I don't care.
Just email em direct, BCSstore or whatever, originally the guy said just order it, put a UK or China delivery address and tell him the order number with an address in CA and he'll change it. Try it out, I got mine with free shipping and expected delivery is like 10 - 15 I think. I asked the guy if others could email direct he said sure, only issue is availability of stock
On the other hand, wanted one of those matte HHI screen protectors, they sell a 3 pack for $12 and want $24 for shipping, emailed them, they basically told be to get bent
I use this one, got it at Bestbuy for about $9 too.
Not sure if it was the 9" or 10" version
but it fits perfectly even with the dock attached.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh78LIh2-Oo
I bought this case from Futureshop and it fits well.
Tucano Finatex 10"
http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/prod...spx?path=01bc42bce3cb207837454e115277bf6fen02
It has 2 compartments and the larger one is divided in half where the back half fits the prime alone quite well. The front half would fit the prime attached to the dock or the dock separately. The smaller compartment has a mini pocket in it to hold an iPod or phone sized device with a space for headphones to travel up the strap and exit near your shoulder.
The only thing I didn't like (it isn't specific to this case) is that the USB charger wall wart has no place to go that is not a danger to the screen if the bag gets squished.

I just can't believe how hard it is to find a sleeve/case that fits a minimum requirements.
I'd love to get the Moko, Verteks, Roocase, Vipertek, Blurex slim sleeves (the one at multi-angle, portrait only mode) as they all seem to have the necessary cutouts of ports and speaker, and would allow docking the keyboard without removing the sleeve.
Except, they are ALL unavailable on Amazon.com, and I can't find any of these anywhere else.
Only thing available are the kind of sleeves/cases which cover the front side areas of the tablets which to me, is a no go as these can not be used alongside a dock ; or those like the MiniSuit which doesn't have a stand for the tablet alone.
Worse than that, the same thing goes for the screen shields ! It's impossible to get one here in Canada.
I can't wait to start using my tablet all the time (and get rid of my aging netbook) but I'm just too afraid to scratch it.
Really frustrated at this situation. And I did spend at least 4-5 hours in the past 2-3 days researching all the above.

$1.95 Amazon Prime 2-piece silicone case with Kickstand

I have used an i-Blason rugged 2-piece silicone kickstand case for my Nexus 5 and Galaxy S4. I was really happy with it, especially for the $5-$10 price.
Unfortunately, the same case for my Nexus 6 won't be available until December 1st...so I was searching for something else, even if it was just temporary.
I found what appears to be the same exact case (these all come from the same place in China I think, with minor cosmetic variations) for only $1.95 AND Amazon Prime 2 day shipping.

I purchased it and was sad to see a delivery estimate of Tuesday...6 days from now! I spoke to an Amazon chat rep and he immediately upgraded me to 1 day shipping for free and now it's estimated to arrive on Friday!
Hopefully this case is the same as the i-Blason version and is a real steal...but as long as it is usable for a few weeks I will be quite happy.

I bought it the day I pre-ordered my 32GB Blue via AT&T. It showed up fast. Seems well built especially for $2 bucks. I can post photos if someone finds value in it.

Sure I'd love to see it. There are photos in my review if you want to compare and see if they seem like the same thing. Thanks!
I ordered this yesterday, with free Prime shipping, it will be here tomorrow
Looks like it's no longer prime eligible.
