Hopefully there'll be these 0.3mm thin plastic covers that I currently have on my note 2.

[Nexus 6  General] aznalan15:
Going to case it but afraid it is going super huge!
[Nexus 6  General] gogol:
How about using skin, like "dbrand"?

Looking at Moto-X, looks nice ...

https://dbrand.com/shop/moto-x

But, too bad, I don't like all the colors they have ...
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
hopefully they will come out with nice cases with kickstands. Since this is replacing my N7, i'll need it because holding that behemoth for an hour while i catch up on shows will be a pain.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
Spigen has one, the same case was excellent w/ the N5. No kickstand for the N5 though.

I had the HTC HD7? with the kickstand by the camera. The most use it ever got was when i was bored and i would click it open and closed :rolleyes:
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
on a smaller phone it's not needed as much but this thing is pretty large. I use the stand on my nexus 7 case all the time so I imagine this will get similar use.
[Nexus 6  General] farangutan:
Funny you say that, seems the worst damage my phones get are when I'm drunk...
[Nexus 6  General] acheney1990:
I don't plan on using a case but I am going to get a tempered glass screen protector for sure.
[Nexus 6  General] cobyman7035:
oh man this beast of a phablet is gonna be HUGE with a case...prolly better to to just get a bumper style like the OEM nexus 4 case
[Nexus 6  General] galaxys:
Well a backless Bumper would be my preferred if anyone makes it!
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
At first I was considering a case..

Now I'm thinking of doing bumper + glass screen protector + DBrand skin.

Anyone thinking of something similar?
[Nexus 6  General] ggreenwood334:
I have a huge ballistics case with belt clip for my m8. Afraid that would make the n6 as big as my nexus 7 with the huge corners. Maybe a seido with a belt clip. Will have to see. I can't afford to break a 700 phone.
[Nexus 6  General] Docavelli:
I'm having no luck with the slim quicksand type cases. I'll throw it in something until I can find one.
[Nexus 6  General] anthonyg45157:
I wansnt....but now i am! :D
[Nexus 6  General] msal:
https://dbrand.com/shop/nexus-6

D-Brand skins are gonna look sick! Just need to find a good glass screen protector and bumper case!
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
Bumper recommendations? Spigen "air cushion" has been a life saver for me on my N5 with the raised front and back for that added protection of the screen. I haven't used anything else though
[Nexus 6  General] l_stevens:
I am planning to get a case and a Flygrip. For those who don't know what it is, it is a clip that will attach to any case, allowing you to use even a phone as big as this one handed. It also gives you a nice kickstand for viewing media. (I use one now). If interested, here is the link:

http://shop.flygrip.com/?ref=pg-home

My question involves cases that are available for the N6. Since I am a Qi user, I will need to take the phone out of the case nightly for charging. Does anyone have a nice case to recommend that is easy to take on/off (many are a struggle).

TIA!
[Nexus 6  General] l_stevens:
I tested my collection of Nexus 5 cases, and they all fit like a tight glove, which would make nightly removal inconvenient. Nyone have experience on a Nexus 5 (or on a phablet) with a (nice) case that's easy to remove/reapply?
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
Diztronic and Cruzerlite TPU cases are already up for preorder :D

[Nexus 6  General] coolsilver:
Problem I had with the Neo Hybrid on my s4 was the band would crack at the USB port. Replaced and glued. Kept happening. Though I am wanting to go case less once Iget one and see how it goes.
[Nexus 6  General] Parvinder25:
I am looking to get one of these cases http://goo.gl/Tg9NER

Ringke cases have always treated me well on earlier nexus and look pretty solid. Plus i will top it with a tempered glass protector.
[Nexus 6  General] michaelnel:
It's a big expensive phone, I am going with a Pelican 1750:
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
the clear TPU material covering the trim will turn yellow in a few weeks, I pre-ordered the equivalent hybrid from spigen but with a solid color around the edge
[Nexus 6  General] Parvinder25:
Yeah the one i mentioned is smoke brown around the edges. It's back is only clear.
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
got it, it looked clear in the pic, anyway is good to mention this TPU issue with clear and white so other users can steer "clear" from those options [emoji51]
[Nexus 6  General] bassil2022:
New case on Google Play Store showed up

https://play.google.com/store/devic...h_Case_for_Nexus_6?id=nexus_6_toughcase_clear
[Nexus 6  General] Parvinder25:
Well TBH that case looks crap and holy mother of cow it costs 35 bucks. Google looting lol.
[Nexus 6  General] ryude:
Agreed, but cases on the play store have always been overpriced and crappy.

I'm looking at these cases, plus the tempered glass protector looks good too.

http://orzly.com/nexus-6-key-info
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
35 bucks plus shipping and taxes wtf, they should throw that one in free when you buy from the playstore hahaha
[Nexus 6  General] thrillerbee:
Um... acceleration is a constant here on Earth.

[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
got my shipping info today for the Spigen ultra hybrid, crazy thing is I paid 8.99 on amazon(out of stock) and they are selling it on their site for 24.99, maybe I got trolled by a counterfeit operation , we'll see :p
[Nexus 6  General] JMillion:
if i get a case for this it needs to be thin as hell. most likely will grab a spigen case if anything. Otherwise the phone is already big
[Nexus 6  General] nolimitoriz0r:
does someone know, if there are gonna be case design guidelines like apple offers them for their devices?

developer. apple .com/resources/cases/Case-Design-Guidelines.pdf

im asking, because i think that most of the offered cases are really ugly and i would like to make a wooden case for that phone...

i couldnt find anything good, even for the older phones... :(

why is nobody releasing sth like apple??
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
That's pretty nice but man the phone is so big, i wonder how intrusive it would be to run with it.
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
Lol, you flunked physics, didn't you?

The heavier the device, the greater the INERTIA. The acceleration (and thus the *speed* of impact) will be identical.

Think of it as the difference between being run over by a TANK doing 50 compared to a SMART.
[Nexus 6  General] nolimitoriz0r:
when talking about physics...

the heavier the device, the more force acts on it, when hitting the ground.

big force at impact = broken device

but actually that few grams shouldnt have a big influence on your device
[Nexus 6  General] doitright:
Obviously you flunked as well.

Try looking up the word "inertia".
[Nexus 6  General] nolimitoriz0r:
obviously i didnt ;)

but maybe you should look it up, too ;)
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
well I am not concerned about the running part. seems like otterbox protection but slimmer

---------- Post added at 05:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:27 PM ----------

ugly ?

http://www.amazon.com/Cush-Cases%C2%AE-SERIES-Premium-Google/dp/B00OO0CSB6/ref=sr_1_47?ie=UTF8&qid=1415377914&sr=8-47&keywords=nexus+6+case
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
I'd say very ugly unless I'm going to a lego party
[Nexus 6  General] daddioj:
lol I don't know what they were thinking. should have just left it flat
[Nexus 6  General] biggiestuff:
My guess is that it's for providing a good grip and to spread out the force of impact if you drop it. But that's like putting a bullet proof vest on a run way model.
[Nexus 6  General] nolimitoriz0r:
can anyone help me with this?
[Nexus 6  General] Mr_Chukes:
If it only had a Smart Cover i would get that.
[Nexus 6  General] frigidazzi:
Hmm. Thanks for the heads up on this. I have been looking for an arm band thing for running. I don't know if I want to use there case part though. I'll keep this book marked and see if anything else pops up when the nexus 6 hits peoples hands,
[Nexus 6  General] litrekid:
The reason u will never see products for Android like u do for Apple is because there is a new Android out every month. Aftermarket companies couldn't keep up if they wanted. It's all about profit. They don't make much selling a few hundred cases for 1 phone and if they did they would have to charge a lot.

U will only see a variety of accessories for the highest volume sellers. It sucks but is the way of the world.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Looking on potentially getting a secure case for my N6. That said the company that makes the protective case for my Nexus 4 (Seidio) is not coming out with one anytime too soon and the only interesting quality strong case (UAG) is more or less in the same boat.

That said I have been looking around and I saw these two.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OHFGMGU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

&

http://www.amazon.com/Protection-i-Blason-Full-body-Protective-Protector/dp/B00OGYP52Y

Which one of these is better to have? Mind that I plan on still getting a quality case for the N6 once it has been made and released, I figured that it would be best to have a temp case to protect my N6 with in the meantime.

Does anyone else have any suggestions on the matter? Also Screen Protectors as well.
[Nexus 6  General] Gorjira:
I opted and already ordered the iBlason one. I don't like that the other leaves a window of the back exposed. I know it's a little area but it throws me off. As for screen protectors I'm holding off just because the iBlason case mentioned already has one built in. Too bad they ship out so late... Mine is scheduled to ship out at the end of the month...
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
I want a clear case. My m7 has a clear tpu case now but it turned yellow/brown. Is there anything similar for the nexus 6 but that won't change color?
[Nexus 6  General] sgloki77:
those "protective" cases are overkill unless you are going to a war zone or work with heavy machinery

no to mention the added bulk on an already large device, just get a quality TPU case, less bulk and adequate protection for normal life drops for most people
[Nexus 6  General] jhumps:
i saw Zagg has tempered glass screen protectors for the nexus 6....but you can buy them yet :/
[Nexus 6  General] radeon962:
I bought one of the Spigen Ultra Fits but also picked up a Dbrand orange with white accent skins as the Nexus 6 is a big phone and don't want to add extra width.

I used skins on my previous Note 3 as it was big enough without a case. Protects from scratches very well but not drops.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
Heavily Active Ingress user, considering the amount of ground I have to traverse a protective case is as essential as a battery pack. ;)
[Nexus 6  General] Parvinder25:
I have been using Ringke fusion bumper case on my Nexus 4 and Oneplus as well and I am fan of those cases. Sad though that Ringke cases availability is pushed to as back as 30th Nov. So i am looking for a similar kind of case for my N6. Must be sturdy, fits well with nice solid finishing. Please suggest few.

Also are tempered glass protectors out for N6? i couldn't find Nillkin ones for N6 online.

PS: I pre-ordered white 64gb in first batch on 10/29. Hoping to get it in coming week.
[Nexus 6  General] Mr_Chukes:
No case just get tempered glass screen protector.
[Nexus 6  General] litrekid:
So for those that have or had the ringke case for previous nexi how did they hold up. Did u have any wear marks on the phone from the case? Did they discolor at all?
[Nexus 6  General] szucsgf:
Most similar I can think of us Spigen Hybrid.

http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-6.html

I've used Ringke Slim for Nexus 5 and Galaxy Nexus. Both cases black. No discoloration. The cases were very snug; hard to put on and harder to take off. No wear marks on the phone from the cases, but I only took the phones out a few times a year. I imagine if someone regularly took the case on and off it might wear on the phone. The cases hold up well. They're strong.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
They look nice but pricey when the thin ones look like the tpu bumper cases. I may order one of these.
[Nexus 6  General] szucsgf:
Oh they're cheaper on Amazon. I'd buy there.
[Nexus 6  General] selayan:
Cool I'll check it out and probably order there. Thanks.
[Nexus 6  General] RoscoeDpG:
the buy 2 get 1 free is up on cruzerlite just got 3 for 20 dollars, i always like changing my cases every week lol but ill be nice and hand one down to my cousin when he gets his nexus
[Nexus 6  General] limen123:
I'm looking for a TPU case that has a clear back. Anyone know any good ones? All I can see so far is the Spigen Ultra Hybrid, but that's pretty priced up..

Also, should I grab a tempered glass protector for the phone? I've gotten one on my S3 and S4, so I'm wondering if I should or not because my friend told me it'd be fine without one. Maybe I should grab a regular screen protector? :confused:
[Nexus 6  General] neyenlives:
A million times yes get the tempered glass screen protector. You won't even know it's there. Feels and works like a naked screen. Have had them on two Note 3 devices and both have been dropped hard enough to crack the screen and both times it only cracked the protector. Original screen was brand spanking new underneath.

The key is installation. Screen must be 100% free from dust. Go run the shower wide open hot in a closed bathroom and turn off the AC/heat in the house. Then go perform the install per instructions in the steamed up bathroom. Keeps dust out of the air. Use scotch tape to make "handles" on the top outside to avoid your fingers touching the underside while installing. Done it many times.
[Nexus 6  General] ekerbuddyeker:
I. Like the look of the case with stand that Google has on the play store but not for $35. Anything out there that similar?
[Nexus 6  General] SMARTPHONEPC:
I ordered http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I2IC less than 2 hours ago & now there are only 5 left if anyone else is interested..

BTW, I signed up to be notified by Amazon when that case becomes available but never got notified, I just happened to reopen some Chrome tabs & noticed it was available for Prime shipping, scheduled to get here Thursday instead of Wednesday due to what seemed like an ~ 8 PM EST deadline for the 2 day Prime shipping.

Look forward to seeing how the case fits in various pockets even if I don't score a Nexus 6 by Thursday.. Update: Refreshed page & no more limited stock notice just says In Stock so good luck to anyone interested in that case.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
I'm got the Spigen Ultra Hybrid again (have it on my N5)in mint and possibly a dBrand skin in their dark metal.

Those tiny time raised edges for the screen are so handy! It has saved my screen so many times.
[Nexus 6  General] Evo_Shift:
I always buy a case or four and take them off in like a day. I bought one of those Ringke slim cases for my nexus 5 and it scratched the corners of my phone when I took it off. They weren't scratches that went all the way through the material but the kind of scratches that make a mark that cannot be removed. I'll never buy one of those again.

For the Nexus 6 I am once again tempted to buy a case but it will be one with a kick stand on it for playing games. I looked at the Spigen Slim Armor but it has horrible quality control issues based on Amazon reviews so I'll probably wait awhile until a well known brand has a quality kickstand variant available that doesn't look like it's ready to go to war like those iBlason type rugged cases...

Thankfully the Google first party cases look pretty ho-hum to me so I am not tempted to overspend on those this time around. Their first party cases have all been pretty lackluster for the cost. If that kickstand one wasn't clear I'd check it out. I don't like the idea of clear glossy plastic cases though.
[Nexus 6  General] purpl3rain:
Got the Diztronic case earlier this week. Phone is expected to be delivered today and it's going straight into the case. I will also be looking for screen protector(s) and wireless qi charger (for desk at work) this weekend.
[Nexus 6  General] P1 Wookie:
I've got a case on the way to use for while I'm at work (warehouse). Otherwise it'll be "exposed" other than the dbrand I'm going to put on the back.
[Nexus 6  General] Noxey:
No. That's not true. All devices will fall at the same speed save wind resistance. Actually the n6 may fall slightly slower due to its large surface area.
[Nexus 6  General] Zer0_Cool:
I always use my phone naked, I'd rather just buy insurance/motocare.

I might purchase one of these for when I throw the phone in my backpack though!

https://www.etsy.com/listing/126415865/nexus-6-nexus-5-nexus-4-sleeve-case

I agree with MKBHD, unless you're going to get an Otterbox, the case isn't even really helping you should you drop it from a substantial height.

[Nexus 6  General] franatic08:
I'm gunning for the Spigen Ultra Hybrid because it shows the original design, preserves the dimple while not having a big (in my opinion ugly) oval shaped cut-out on the back.

The thing I'd like to know is the buttons perform.

I saw a review for the N5 and the reviewer mentioned the buttons felt stiff and not "clicky".

The case for the N6 seems to have the same button style (as it seems from the pics) as the reviewed N5 case.

If anyone can share his/her opinion on this I'd be thankful!
[Nexus 6  General] zephiK:
I read that they were clicky, so I ordered one I can tell you on Saturday when it arrives. If it isn't, I'll return it.
[Nexus 6  General] Anastayja:
Using this setup now (gunmetal) on my N6. Buttons are fine and are "clicky" enough for me. However, it is a little hard to differentiate between the buttons even though they are marked. Case does look and feel very nice on the phone IMO and does not create much added bulk.

I am waiting on my matte black dbrand skin but not sure if I'm going to use it right away because the CW looks great with the clear back of the case.
[Nexus 6  General] franatic08:
Blindly finding buttons on a new device always needs some time.

I plan on casing it from day 1 so I'll probably get used to them quite fast.

Also the case will fingerprintproof the device as the Midnight Blue tends to collect loads of those... <-- added bonus.

I've got some time to decide. Here in the Netherlands release date is expected not before 24-12-2014.

I'll be lurking for reviews on this particular case.
[Nexus 6  General] andy_mk3:
I'll be having mine in a case. I work as a car mechanic, and often use my phone on the job and generally gets chucked around a bit. The case on my S4 is looking a bit sorry now, but the phone itself is still perfect :)
[Nexus 6  General] NexusHexus:
I don't like cases and the added size, so I ordered a Dbrand rear skin so it doesn't scratch when put down on a table. Going to get a pouch made up for keeping it in the pocket and protect it from abrasing the edges. Last time for my older phone, I made it from black microfibre cloths for cleaning glasses. It was useful because I could clean the screen with the pouch lol
[Nexus 6  General] Ep3n3wp:
I'm going with one of these!!! As soon as o can find link to order the crystal clear or the smoke its a done deal!!!!

Love the headphone and charger port plugs
[Nexus 6  General] badboy47:
I was so close getting that until I saw the dotted case. I ordered it right away.
[Nexus 6  General] purpl3rain:
Diztronic:
[Nexus 6  General] jasonleb1:
No case for me. I'd rather just buy some insurance.
[Nexus 6  General] bongostl:
This is not true. Not even a little true.
[Nexus 6  General] nexuspa6:
Unfortunately for me my job demands that I have a heavy duty case at least while at work. I manage a dairy farm so numerous hazards a day that I run into. Bought a heavy duty otterbox defender style case off of Amazon with a belt clip for work. I purchased the spigen hybrid case as well for when I'm out and about. It's minimal enough while still providing some basic protection.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
Which dotted case??
[Nexus 6  General] Poke_N_PDA:
Anyone know of a slim case doesn't have lips on the sides? Bezels have gotten so small (a good thing IMHO) and there are many actions that require sliding in from the side of the screen. Having a case can make that near impossible.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
The Spigen cases are sooooo small. They practically cover to the point where the glass starts and not past it. I get my phone and case otday and can report back if the N6 is the same.
[Nexus 6  General] mouse100:
post some photo please :)
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
Sure thing, I'll post them here.
[Nexus 6  General] Brokenbit:
Happy with SquareTrade

I've used SquareTrade and have been very satisfied with their service. I accidentally busted up a Droid RAZR while working under a car and needed to file a claim. I don't have a Motorola service center in my area so SquareTrade paid to have the busted phone overnighted to a service center to be inspected. They totaled the phone and then SquareTrade issued a refund check for the original price minus the $100 deductible. But the process took 3 days since I live in a small market without a local service center.

That being said I still use SquareTrade and also a thin Diztronic TPU case and screen protector to give my phone some basic protection.
[Nexus 6  General] Poke_N_PDA:
Honestly, I still want the top and bottom to have lips for overall protection and screen protection when flipping the phone over. I would just like the sides to be lip free. I might just get a TPU and trim the sides down. Carved out the back of a TPU nexus 5 case to use with the wireless charger and it worked pretty well.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
I'm 100% casing this phone now that I have it in hand.

For starters the screen kind of "wraps" down towards the side. So there is this like curve from the screen down into the edges. The slight raised edge on cases like Spigen will give the screen a bit of protection. Second, the phone feels like it could easily break from being so big.
[Nexus 6  General] Jeimygirl:
Hopefully you can see it.
[Nexus 6  General] Dr Faustus:
So, a tad conflicted here..

I really want to get the Urban Armor Gear case for the Nexus 6 (which I am glad they went out of the way for making) as a protective case but at the same time it seems that the only colour they want to produce for it is the "MAVERICK" Clear version. Originally I was hoping they would come out with a "Scout" Black version of the case but that is not in their plan as of now.

http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/nexus-6-case

So the problem is, do I still get it? Honestly I do not think the Clear Case will look nice at all with the Nexus 6 (if anything it might be really clashing against the look of it) but at the same time looks are only minor compared to the protection I want to have with my Nexus 6 (which a case like this offers while being slim as well) .

I do not know if I should go for it because of the protection or avoid it because of how it looks. Can I get some opinions if possible?
