Guess their renders are just different or an illusion. Thanks for emailing and getting the info. The backs are just hard plastic, so I presume they mean the sides provide great grip. Get mine tomorrow, will let you know.

I hope their gunmetal isn't the same color as Spigens.. looks more gold on the Spigens.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dadsterflip:
Just got mine today also and man! They never cease to amaze me. I've been using them since the since the m8. I bought spigen just to see what's out there for the nexus 6 and man in don't know why I even bother with other cases. Case is super nice. Feels great and much slimmer then spigen. The edges on the screen also is slimmer. I suggest you guys get one if you haven't lol.

You should be specific to which case you purchased.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] doomx101:
what is the main difference between the max and fusion cases. I have tried to look online but, I'm unable to find the main difference. Thanks.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Look at the pictures of the case and then you'll see the difference? Its pretty obvious.

Max is MAXIMUM protection. http://www.amazon.com/Free-Screen-P...1418095686&sr=8-1&keywords=Ringke+Max+Nexus+6

Fusion is a balance between Max and SLIM. http://www.amazon.com/Free-Screen-P...8095667&sr=8-2&keywords=Ringke+Fusion+Nexus+6
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
its pretty obvious how can you not tell the differences?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] doomx101:
Thanks captain obvious. I meant is the difference between the max and diffusion case great. Is the extra thickness of the fusion really all that beneficial or, is it simply extra added weight in order to sell a more expensive case.

Will I really be MUCH more safer compared to the fusion? Sorry if I seemed aggrevive. Thanks btw
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
It depends on the person on what you need in terms of protection. Fusion is a one-piece; whereas, the MAX is a two-piece case.

If you're a careful person and wish to show off the phone's back, get fusion.

If you're not a careful person (or are wary of of dropping your device and breaking it), get max.

For both of them, you get a free screen protector. It works quite well.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
As promised earlier, here are the pictures of Ringke Fusion Crystal. I'd probably get the Smoke Black if I was to rebuy it. There are some scratches in the back but barely noticeable. The phone has the included screen protector in the picture. I like it.

First impressions on the Max case

So after a long day at work, stopped by my mailbox before heading into my garage, comes in a little box, opened and behold the Max Case, please bare with me as im not really a good reviewer on cases haha

Eco packaging, not too bad, plain and simple, does come with a complimentary screen protector, although I have failed to install it correctly haha

First impressions on this case before putting it on, very well built, the back has a matte sort of texture, a little slippery but my hands are dry so every person itll differ, it does come apart however i wouldnt recommend doing so since the back clear plastic that displays the nexus logo does come off

i put it on, a little tough at first but once its on, its like a glove, flawless, the caps for the micro usb and headphone ports are well made and snugged tight fit, the hole for the camera lens is recessed, definitely will protect the lens from being scratch while the phone is on its back. I do notice theres a rainbow effect on the clear plastic on the case, not a big deal though

my only issues with the case is the side buttons, need to give a little more pressure to press but its not really a big deal

Another would be the corner lanyard hole, it makes the case look a little off(if you get what i mean) it feels a tad weird with it there since my pinky is used to hugging the curve of the phone

Overall I'm really impressed with the quality and build of this case, its well fitted and it can for survive a drop, how much of a drop? that i dont wanna know, good protection without too much bulk, well worth 12 bucks plus shipping for this, I'd recommend it
[Nexus 6 Accessories] dhruvmalik:
Any chances of the phone scratching towards the aluminum area with the Ringke Slim?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
Just received my fusion clear and its got some scratches and blemishes on the inside of the case, most likely from the cardboard in the back. I couldn't see them from the outside so I'm guessing they wouldn't show up with the phone on the inside. The fusion I got for the nexus 4 had some protectors on the plastic, I'm assuming that they didn't have time to apply them on this one. Regardless its a grippy case, much gripper than the spigen ultra hybrid. I'll take some comparison pictures in a bit. Don't have my phone yet so it will just be case to case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Mind if I use your pictures in my case review thread here?

(so I don't have to take some myself hah)

Thanks for the mini review. My MAX arrived at my house just 20 minutes ago, but I'm stuck at work all day.. won't be able to produce my video review until later tonight.

Both cases are pretty slim, ringke is the better by far but the clear tpu on the sides will most likely discolour over time. They both set me back £6 so ringke is better value for money

Ringke:

+grippy

+buttons

+dust covers

+camera cutout seems bigger

+free screen protector

+stencil for your own picture

-clear tpu discolours over time but smoke should be fine

Spigen:

+came quicker

+the blue looks nice

+plastic not scratched

-buttons aren't as good

Here you can see some blemishes:

Also the desk itself is at an angle so the cases are pretty much the same height

[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Your attachment links don't work and I'm confused on which Ringke you're talking about but I assume Fusion since you said "smoke"

For the dust covers, I don't think its a pro. It can be a con for some, for me... I'm still edgy on keeping them or not. Yeah its nice to have but annoying when I have to remove the dust cover to plug in the charger. So for me that'd be neutral, one can also cut them.

Spigen color choices are a lot better but for the Ringke.. the button clicks wins the choice for me. On Spigen, I have a hard time distinguishing which is volume and which is Power. I don't want to waste time counting the lines. Also the "click" sound is very satisfying.

I agree that Ringke should have used the protective films again to protect their case during shipping

Sure! Go for it! and thanks! cant wait for your review
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3taman:
I was almost ready to pull the trigger on Ringke Slim Crystal, but am hesitating otherwise because it seems like yours is getting scratched up. I want a nice minimal clear case to show off the beauty of the Nexus 6 but have some protection as well. It appears there just aren't many options. I currently have the Spigen Slim Bumper case but have been disappointed with the Edges feeling uncomfortable when holding. Debated on getting the Spigen Slim case as I'm finding few good clear case options that are also scratch resistant. If you have any other options let me know.

Also, thanks for the Youtube case reviews!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
They do scratch but it is rarely noticeable. There is spigen ultra hybrid which doesn't scratch easily but the buttons are not as nice to press on when compared to the Ringke.

I just realized now that the black sf Ringke slim case has the same exact texture of my black Kindle paperwhite.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
I have a Ringke Fusion Smoke coming in on Thursday along with a Slim SF Black. Which I most likely will review same day.

FYI, I'll be doing a full Ringke case comparison on Friday with Ringke Slim Crystal/Black, Fusion Smoke, & MAX black. Which will be offering much more detail on each case, my thoughts on the clear cases and which I personally like best.

I cannot comment on Spigen clear cases as I am staying away from that brand. I bought the Neo Hybrid and was not a fan of their N6 designed cases personally.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] XorZone:
Was waiting for SF Black for 2 weeks to come and it came in damaged (right side is deformed like it was under heavy item for a long time). Now will have to deal with refund/return process and reorder. I love the feel of SF coating, tho.

[MENTION=1197823]XERO_Racer[/MENTION] bro do you think its possible to cut off the lanyard hole and file it smooth? Thinking of buying it but the lanyard hole really sticks out like a sore thumb
[Nexus 6 Accessories] XERO_Racer:
It's possible and really shouldnt mess with the rest of the case and yeah I do agree it does stick out like a sore thumb, on my end however I quickly got over it and left it as is

Thanks. I enjoy making them, especially if it helps others. After the last two Ringke's come in I'll be out of cases to review. :laugh:

I'm going to move on to N6 ROM overviews and such next. I think people would be interested in that.

for those asking about the slim scratching the phone, I have had mine on and off several times and have looked very close and can find no scratches from the slim case going off and on.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Nocturnal86:
The Black Ringke MAX is GREAT! it is larger than the slim obviosly but not as bad as I thought. I kinda miss the soft touch black slim feel of the ringke slim but Im happier to have more protection in case I drop it plus having the logo's shine through makes this the best of both worlds (Clear Case/Tough case).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] renny083:
Thanks for your feedback and others who posted the video review much appreciated. I contacted Rearth about my order I placed for the gunmetal MAX case regarding the shipping date of 12/19. They replied last night saying the available date for shipping has been moved to Dec 11 today. Just giving a heads up in case anyone else ordered the same case.

Here is the reply...(had to copy and paste from email since XDA prem app wants to FC when I tried to upload sc 3 diff times) :(

My Max black just arrived and it feels really slippery, I like how thin it is for a dual layered case but there's no grip at all for me like there is for the fusion. I'll play about with it later on and post some pictures with the fusion. I've still not received my phone so it could feel completely different with it.

Definitely looking forward to your comparison between the Ringke cases, particularly the Fusion and the Max. Wondering how much bigger the Max feels and if it's worth it for the additional protection.

Just got the slim fit clear case yesterday. Very well made and fit and cut outs are perfect. It also looks very nice on the phone and doesn't hide its beauty.

However, a bit slippery and doesn't inspire confidence as I almost dropped it a few times. Has slight separations on each corner. Not sure it will survive a light drop.

I still prefer a lightweight tpu case for grip and absorption.

EDIT: ALREADY CRACKED AFTER ONE DAY DUE TO DIFFICULTY REMOVING; TOO THIN AROUND VOLUME BUTTONS.

Anyone try the included screen protector? Want to see if they're any good before I buy other ones.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] cupfulloflol:
I haven't applied it, but I think it fits fine but it apparently it gets scratches super easy. A few people in this thread (I think the first post starts at about 119 and goes on from there) talk about it, saying they notice them. I am unsure if these are just a few rare-ish incidents, but if/when I apply mine I probably will be on the lookout for it.

Very happy with the Fusion. I love that they have a stencil for creating your own image for the back. They don't have a template to download yet on their website yet from here: http://www.rearthglobal.com/company/content.php?co_id=template

I sent a message but haven't heard back yet.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] machostallion:
I've had my MAX case on now for almost a full two days. Overall I like the case. I don't find it to be slippery but I'm coming from an nexus 4 for comparison. I think the case does provide better grip than the uncased nexus 6.

The case does make it feel slightly larger and heavier. Although it now feels like it's built like a tank and could handle a drop. The only thing I don't like about it is the wrist strap loop connector at the bottom right. I'll give it a while longer but I'll probably cut it off somehow.

The plastic screen protector that came with it is passable but nothing great. I'd say it covers 98% of the glass. It's definitely a fingerprint magnet though. It shows all kinds of smudges. I had left the screen protector on that the phone shipped with until I put the new one on. The I actuality think the shipping screen protector was better except for that white piece at the bottom left. I will probably replace the plastic protector with a tempered glass protector once a decent one is available.

Fusion!

Just received my Ringke Fusion case for my midnight blue N6. I also own the Spigen Slim Armor and unfortunately the Neo Hybrid which is a terrible case. With that out of the way I want to say the Fusion case is with out a doubt the best case I've found so far. Slim fitting and the buttons are easily deciphered. I would recommend this case as your best option at this point. Unless you need a bit more protection I would go w/the Spigen Slim Armor which is a great case outside of the not knowing what buttons you are pushing (power/volume) due to a lack of seperations from the buttons.

I'm now waiting on a titanium metal dbrand skin for the back of my N6 that I ordered a few days ago. It should look amazing w/this case. I'll post pics.

Ringke Fusion Template

Ringke Fusion template is out.

Okay, for the Ringke Fusion they released the template. I used Photoshop to change things a bit. First, fill it in. Use no anti-aliasing, smart select, inverse selection, then bucket fill. Since we are printing a custom back, lets ditch the branding cutout. Then, lets make the mic cutout a circle. You can take this PSD. Add a normal layer, and copy the photo you want into that layer. Then adjust for the right size and placement. Use the opacity for the Blank layer to make this even easier. Then Select that image and copy it. Create a new layer and check "Use previous layer to create clipping mask". Paste into that new layer. Delete old layer. Then just print it, it will be the right size automatically.

And we are done. No lines. Mini preview (I don't like the placement yet):

The only tricky part is setting the right pixel density when you open the template in PS (Gimp doesn't work). Here is a blank PSD with a ppi of 288 (what my Epson printer is supposedly best at, maybe).

[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
Its subjective. Depends on what kinda person you are, personally for me. I didn't have the best experience with Fusion as I had major scratches out of the box. Its a great case other than that though.

Still very weird how they didn't have protective films on the case as they've had them in the past.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] GreeleyXda:
Well with the fusion id use that design up there ^ (anytime i can rep SMT thats a win for me)

Otherwise id prob go with the more protective case
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jadams212510:
Smoke Black Fusion

I had a Spigen Neo Hybrid which I returned because it was terrible. The Spigen Slim Armor is great protection and looks good. Only thing that I hate about the Slim Armor is not being able to distinguish the power and volume from each other.

I wanted something slimmer and a case with buttons that were easily located. This case is no doubt the best I've used so far. Minimal and looks great. I've used the case for about a week and it's great I have no complaints. It also looks great with this Titanium Metal dbrand skin.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] mpgolfpro:
I really like my Ringke Fusion. I bought both the fusion and the slim. The slim seems like it wouldn't provide a whole lot of protection during a drop. I feel much safer with the fusion. The fusion also doesn't feel a whole lot thicker, and provides better grip, imo. I only wish they would offer some additional color options in the fusion. Im not crazy about clear cases and this one does scratch up fairly easily. Various colors that are solid and not transparent would be awesome.

I submitted a support ticket in regards to the scratches on the Fusion, the response I got from them is.

So if you aren't too happy with the scratches submit a ticket to Rearth to get on that list.
