[Nexus 6  General] 740skate:
I currently have a dbrand skin, but it still feels slippery to me. I know I'm going to regret not having some extra drop protection, so I ended up ordering both the spigen thin fit in black (the color option with the most grip) and the ringke slim. They should be here by the end of the week.
[Nexus 6  General] ocbrewing:
I also got the carbon fiber skin, it's got quite a bit of grip over naked I think. Even the mahogany one has at least a little bit of graining to it that adds some texture. My last phone (S4) was never the same after I dropped it and cracked the screen, even though I had the screen repaired. So I get the need for extra protection.. but it feels so nice without a bulky case.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I'm having a hard time choosing a skinomi screen protector or a tempered glass one? Anyone have a reccomended tempered glass protector that is a good fit?
[Nexus 6  General] radeon962:
Same here. Bought Spigen Slim Fit Black and Spigen Neo Hybrid Dante Red but both add some extra size and feel is not the same. Luckily i had ordered a Dbrand skin (orange) and the phone feels much better with just a skin. It is large but still fits my hand well like this.
[Nexus 6  General] Smallsmx3:
Just got this case... Fits nice and snug.... Pretty slim for a tpu case. Adds a good amount of grip. I got the clear one. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the back of it is partially frosted
[Nexus 6  General] SymbioticGenius:
Do slim cases interfere with wireless charging?
[Nexus 6  General] Crazypinoy9:
I got the Spigen slim fit but I also got the Bear Motion slim fit case. Personally the Bear Motion is much better in terms of size. The phone feels great in the hand with it especially with the texture that Bear Motion incorporates.

Returned the Spigen.
[Nexus 6  General] funkpod:
i want this case. i have the UAG on my galaxy s3, i think the clear will look sweet. will it clash? i dunno, maybe, but i think the rest will look awesome. maybe i can use a exacto-blade and remove the silver UAG part. but i like the combo of the protection.

i personally will be getting a case, cuz my phone doesn't fall when it's in my pocket, but when i'm holding it.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
I doubt it. I have one of those thicker moko cases that has a rubber inner and plastic outter shell and it still charges through that.
[Nexus 6  General] jokersax11:
So much wrong in thinking this. Gravity is gravity, its the same for a feather as it for a truck. However the weight of the device does make a difference
[Nexus 6  General] funkpod:
how is that spigen case w/ kickstand? is the kickstand well put together, or flimsy?
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
It's flimsy but works well enough. The thing is if it snaps off its easy to put back into place because it's held in by the phone. It's good enough to rest on my stomach while watching in bed. It's served its purpose just fine when I've needed it.
[Nexus 6  General] Roland_D:
I've used spigen slim armors for my last 3 devices... I was a huge fan of Otterbox but they got bulkier and bulkier and the protection was not that great any more.. So I looked for something slimmer yet protective enough... A slim armor with a skinomi screen protector kept my devices mint! Plus the new slim armor has a little stand for the phone that I think I'll use a lot since I m replacing my nexus 5 and 7 both with the 6 (also mathematically average :P)... The only complaint I have about the slim armor is that they didn't design the headphone jack's opening well... it takes easily the OEM headphone but any 3.5mm that is a little bulkier is not going to fit through the hole... that's when my car AUX cable became obsolete... lol... Had to add a 19 dollar bluetooth receiver (bought on Amazon) to plug the cable to and then connect the phone via bluetooth... which work nicely so...
[Nexus 6  General] adl:
Spigen looks great but that kickstand looks horrible imho. Might be the one thing that holds me from buying it.
[Nexus 6  General] KB112:
Really? I kinda dig it. I just ordered the slate Slim Armor last night, along with the Ringke Slim. Got a cheapie tpu coming tomorrow, phone should be here by Monday. Not gonna chance going naked with this beast.
[Nexus 6  General] adl:
Unfortunately yes, I think It it makes the whole case look somewhat of cheap. Well, looks that other people are happy about that feature.
[Nexus 6  General] alnsnk:
I bought the Spigen Neo Hybrid for my wife and I. So far Im satisfied with it but wish the cutouts for the headphone and charger were better thought out. Plugging a USB requires a little force. Besides that it should keep my phone safe, hoping Seidio will make a spring holster/case combo for it soon.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
is there a good cushion type POUCH for the nexus 6? im prolly gonna get backplate case + pouch + screen protector...not sure if this will fit my pants pockets...sometimes i wear tight jeans! :(

i need something like this for the nexus 6 , i have one for my nexus 5

dragon logo neoprene pouch
[Nexus 6  General] zidave:
Definitely going to put it in a case but going minimalistic. Cruzerlite offers enough protection and is grippy.
[Nexus 6  General] parcou:
No case never had one any phone even N3. Never scratched or dropped.

Sent from mobile...excuse typos!
[Nexus 6  General] jackpollard:
Even though I much much prefer it naked, its a)too expensive and b) too slippery not to wrap up. I have a spigen hybrid on it now, nice but bulky, but have a few others ordered to try and get it as thin and grippy as possible.
[Nexus 6  General] rootusr:
I've been using my nexus 5 without a case and I love it, however since this is a huge phone that I constantly try to use with one hand and is kind of slippery, I'm seriously considering getting one. Think about it, it costs more than 650 bucks!!
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
for those with cases...can u put this huge phone in your pockets ie, tite jeans? im dreading this once i get my nexus6 , even with the nex5 in a neoprene pouch it was hard to put in the jeans pockekts once u squatted down or bent over

i gotta wear cargo pants with the big side pockets more i guess
[Nexus 6  General] Super Chimp:
I am using a Spigen hard case & it only covers the back of the phone really & part of the sides & too me that's enough.
[Nexus 6  General] jackpollard:
Back pocket yes, front not comfortably with a Spigen Neo case.
[Nexus 6  General] jadesix:
Probably going with Spigen Slim Armor, if I ever get a chance to purchase the phone on GPS...
[Nexus 6  General] laur3n.newm4n:
I got the Spigen "Air Cushioned Bumper" and an Orzly tempered glass screen protector. I have the factory protective film on the screen still, and will peel it off and promptly put on the Orzly. I am going to use the Spigen case for a while. Ultimately, I'd like to find a nice pouch for it to put it in when I am not using it, it's in my pocket, etc. so it's protected but I can use it case free. It's a big phone, and I bought it full retail so it's too expensive to be careless with it. So far I have been very careful with it, and definitely always use it with two hands, which helps to not drop it.
[Nexus 6  General] alan7467:
Haven't received my N6 yet, but would prefer to go sans case if I can and use a sleeve when at work or traveling. Thinking of something like this:

http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-S...18238109&sr=8-1&keywords=iphone+6+plus+sleeve
[Nexus 6  General] Zer0_Cool:
I got mine directly from Motorola, so I recently paid for motocare. I'd rather have the insurance and go caseless for the price rather than have a terribly ugly/bulky case for the entire time I own the phone. The way the screen and digitizer are fused, one repair would be costly regardless.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
ya i want something like that but without the cover...just a quick slip out pouch that fits snugly when u also have a case on it...i got that spigen air cusion type case
[Nexus 6  General] PR0707YP3:
I have an amzer hybrid bumper case.. Its good, grippy and not too bulky..
[Nexus 6  General] Stolly08:
What type side? I'm thinking the clear one looks cool...
[Nexus 6  General] warrenis1234:
I love being able to slide in from the edge of the screen, taking advantage of how it was designed. any one have a case that keeps the edges uncovered?
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
I got a "skin" made for the back and love the feel of the phone without a case.

Rocking a black Ringke slim right now. Got a Spigen on the way. No way I could bare back this beast.

[Nexus 6  General] msal:
Are there any bumper cases available? You know, the type that goes only around the phone and doesn't cover the back.

The main reason I go without a case.
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
I started this thread and havent given my input because I dont have my nexus yet! Still one of the many waiting for verizon to drop it. Been spending money on others for the holidays so i cant justify spending 650 and sadly my credit isnt good enough to apply for moto credit. So ill be waiting or switching carriers after first ot the year whichever comes first.

Still undecided on which case ill be getting. Im thinking a thin case and a warranty as a back up. Waiting to see more drop test videos with the nexus and these cases ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Luxferro:
I just picked up a Rinke Slim (black) off amazon for $10.

I was originally against a case, but figured for $10 I'd try this one and hope it gives my phone some grip over the hard slippery back of the N6. It's definitely a little more grippy than the stock back. It's also really thin. If it protects the phone during a drop, that's a bonus IMO. I don't like to turn my phones into bricks with huge cases :p
[Nexus 6  General] 20degrees:
I liked the slim, but after a few days, I started to hate the button surrounding on the case.

N6
[Nexus 6  General] venturizhou:
This phone is already big enough I don't need to go on adding anymore bulk to it. I also love the feeling of the metal rim, just throwing on a skin and glass protector.

I used to put cases on my phones but then I hated the feeling and always too them off anyways. I put it in a pouch if want to protect it a little bit.
[Nexus 6  General] Tsukasa Buddha:
I got the Ringke Slim, but I hate the sharp lip. Probably because I love the curved edges of the original. The funny thing is that I got it because it had the smallest lip advertised of the cases out at the time.

I'm hoping there will eventually be a good tempered glass which in combo with some case will work well.
[Nexus 6  General] nhpctech:
The UAG Maverick case is really nice. Slim with good drop protection and you can use a tempered glass screen protector with no issue.
[Nexus 6  General] badpanda:
Case it brother! Is too big of an investment not to protect...
[Nexus 6  General] Nv1dia:
Uhm. Are you sure about that? Weight can increase impact but I don't think it has anything to do with accelerarion. Law of gravity and all..
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Which protector do you use with it? I am looking toward Orzly but I want to know the compatibility factor between that and the UAG case.
[Nexus 6  General] __NBH__:
I've got the spigen neo hybrid case and it does make the phone look bigger. I had the same type of case for my old phone but after a year I took it out of the case and it didn't get damaged. However, the Nexus 6 is large and feels much more likely to slip out of my hands so I'm keeping the case on for now until I get used to the size a bit more.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
I got the spigen air cushion ultra hybrid gunmetal… it looks more like darkgrey color
[Nexus 6  General] lesterbangs:
I've just got a Samar X-Series protector which has been installed. It's great and all - doesn't cover the whole front of the device but does cover the actual screen. However, while installing, I think I put a little chip in one side. Its perfect apart from this little spot which has developed a halo effect damn it. I suppose it will hold me over until an iloop is made available.
[Nexus 6  General] nhpctech:
BodyGuardz - Screen Guardz Pure. I bought it at the AT&T Store. :) I have tried a few other Tempered Glass Protectors and I have had the best luck with BodyGuardz. Hope that helps
[Nexus 6  General] jaimeletelierhay:
I got the same on mine. Happy enough with it, but it still doesn't feel great to grip.
[Nexus 6  General] tonyc0642:
I just got the same one, it came yesterday. MUCH slimmer than the crappy Casemate that I got at At&t the day I got the phone. It's definitely a bit smooth on the edges though, but all in all I'm satisfied.
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
If anyone was wondering about the effectiveness of the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, I can attest that it works well (if you can get one that fits). Just dropped my phone on a solid slab of concrete from about 4ft. It landed screen down and the case protected it completely, no signs of the drop whatsoever. It took 3 tries for me to get one that actually fit but I can safely say that I am a happy customer and if youre looking for a minimal case that still actually protects the phone (unlike the slim ones), I recommend it.
[Nexus 6  General] dtroup64:
Good to hear. Mine arrives tomorrow.
[Nexus 6  General] owyheendn:
Went Almost a Week without a case but Bad thoughts kept running through my mind about me dropping it so I finally just bought one from the Google Play Store
[Nexus 6  General] low.humidity:
I ordered one and it continually separates the two sections and will not remain as one unit on the phone. is that what you mean by getting one that will fit? I have put in an RMA with amazon and await a label. is there a way to get the two sections to fit properly on the phone? or are the ones that separate simply defective? thanks for any insights.
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
Oh geez, I haven't come across that problem. I just meant that all the ones I got until this most recent one had some wiggle room around the power and volume keys specifically where I could feel the rubber popping back and forth when I squeezed it. So just somewhat of a loose fit.
[Nexus 6  General] SirStevenKnightArrowood:
The best of both worlds?

After further consideration, I think I will get a well cushioned pouch type of case and a TPU case.

I will have the two options for cases but may not end up using either very often (mostly when trekking the concrete jungle) allowing me to enjoy the premium design in all its glory when at home or anywhere with carpet most definitely. I will more than likely carry the TPU case in the pouch (stored in my pack) when not using either & then just use whichever case suits the situation when I feel a case is called for.

​

If I find I have no issue keeping a solid grasp on it without a case, then I will feel more comfortable heading out the door without a case as I don't have any problem using the n6 solely as a 2-handed device (it allows me to work much more efficiently on the device & I'm not a fan of the balancing act most people participate in daily, that's how you/I drop the device). I also live in the forest so concrete is a lot less common & less of a worry when it comes to drops.​

The pouch will mostly go to use when traveling or during the Fall/Winter when I have a jacket with pockets to house it.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
I don't like it it makes the phone bulky the phone is so skinny without the case

[Nexus 6  General] avsquare:
Having used both a cheap clear TPU case and a Spigen one, I just feel that the phone feels much better and also much easier to handle and use without a case.
[Nexus 6  General] :
Finally got my i-Blason slim protection case so I thought I'd add a photo for anyone concerned about it being bulky.

I had the Spigen slim amour on it for just over a week and it's been pretty good. I liked the kickstand and it wasn't too flimsy. Buttons were too easily knocked though and I've spent half of each day with the screen on in my pocket. I didn't like having limited screen protection with such a big screen though so I knew I'd be ditching it as soon as I got the other one. I had a Spigen hybrid on my N5 and that's survived being thrown all over the place but, I always wanted something with a built in screen protector so this time I ordered the I-Blason one. I know it won't make my phone invincible.

I ordered it 2 weeks ago on Amazon UK for £4.99 and £2.99 postage but, I know the price went up within days. It's still worth what they're going for now.

Have you noticed issues with the proximity sensor? Reviews on amazon state it blocks them making ambient display non working and turning the screen off during phone calls.
[Nexus 6  General] PhilDX:
I've been using a Spigen Ultra Crystal protector for almost two weeks now and haven't had any issues ambient display or the proximity sensor.
[Nexus 6  General] tonyc0642:
Haven't noticed anything either, but I can't say it would be a dealbreaker for me even if I did. It fits better than the tempered glass screen protector I had before, and it looks much better with the ultra hybrid spigen case IMO. Plus I got 3 of them for $9.99 so I can't complain lol. If the problem presents itself I'll just modify one of the other 2 I have with an exacto knife so that the sensor is unobstructed.
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
I couldn't stand using a case anymore so I got Moto Care lol.

Being an engineer the way you described that made my eyes bleed. Acceleration when you drop something is always the acceleration of gravity, whether its an airplane or a penny. Its the force of impact that increases with mass.

I wasn't too happy with Ringke Slim case or Spigen Neo Hybrid since they added no extra grip. This newest case is great and worth a try if you don't want to add a lot of bulk. Probably doesn't protect too well from falls, but with how it feels, I'm not expecting to drop it at all.
