Neo Hybrid was actually the first case I bought, returned it super quick. Did not like it at all. Made N6 feel huge in hand for some reason. It was featured in my very first case overview on my YT channel.

I have no further plans to buy or review the Spigen cases, unless I get my hands on a free unit. I'm not a fan of their form factor design for the N6.

I will be doing a full case comparison as well a specific Ringke case comparison this weekend of the eight cases I currently own.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
Perfect, thanks for the explanation.

I have the neo as well for another N6 but I like the clear back. On the N5 the ultra's clean backing scratched very easily and scratched my phone from dust, the N6's clear back is still scratch free, and I got my phone a few weeks ago. Its made a lot better than the N6 was. Surprisingly it makes the phone fit better in my hand.

I figured since I'm returning the Spigen Mint Ultra is give another a chance, but the negative reviews I read about Ringke is the scratches.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The Ringke SLIM crystal does in fact scratch easily. I cannot yet comment on the FUSION as I will be receiving my smoke unit today.

My MAX case window has zero scratches so far. Seems to have a better scratch resistance or maybe it's just less prone due to the protective surroundings & design overall.

I can say that the MAX is my case of choice (I use it daily) when compared to everything I have reviewed thus far. I'll have a Ringke FUSION Smoke & SLIM SF Black review up sometime tonight.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jackpollard:
Great reviews! After reading /watching your reviews I picked up the following; Spigen Neo Hybrid, Bear Motion ultra slim and the Ringke Slim white.

The Spigen is nice, well made, fit well. It was tough to make it even all around at first, but if you start from the bottom and just make sure its even as you push it in and go up, it fit well. It was by far the most protective and the bulkiest. It really added some weight and size. It was kind of slick also. The Ringke was standard close fitting minimal case, but it was slick also. With the size of the phone, I was worried it would slip out of my hands if cold or wet. The Bear Motion was for me the best case. It's a minimal case, open on the top and bottom, so no issue with plugs. It covers the corners slightly, and depending on the angle if you drop it may be either decent protection or not much. But the key factor was grip, it has the same rough material as my OnePlus One sandstone and it allows a very nice feel and grip. It also raises the front up a bit to protect the screen.

I hate putting a case on, but its just too expensive not to have at least a minimal covering.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jeimygirl:
That about the Spigen Ultra Hybrid? It gives me a lot of grip on the sides, great protection (not heavy duty of course) and adds very little to the the phone. I have the Neo and the Hybrid is way better for everything you don't like about the Neo.

Case of choice right now out of everything reviewed is the Ringke Fusion. Loving this case!

Things could possibly change tomorrow when the FlexiSlim arrives.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jaggrey:
You like the Fusion over the Max? I'm enjoying my Fusion also but I was thinking about trying the Max.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] mustyrash:
Fusion looks and feels better. The only advantage the Max has in my opinion is better drop protection. Both add minimal bulk, Max is 1 or 2 millimetres thicker but it's hardly noticeable IMO
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The MAX is great overall. I recommend getting one if you want the extra protection while still being able to showcase your Nexus 6. The thickness is very minimal between the FUSION & MAX. More on that later (video pending).

The main reason I prefer the FUSION right now is to show off my dbrand skin in it's entirety. Plus it just feels and looks great in the smoke color!

The MAX is causing me to have some slight issues with right hand reachability (one handed) due to the added wrist strap lanyard sticking out in the lower right corner. The protruding corner makes handling the case right handed feel a bit awkward. I'm looking into ways to modify it's removal personally.

Interested to hear your opinion on the Orzly FlexiSlim. Been using the slim case for two weeks: in my opinion if you need minimal coverage with an ultra thin case, this is it (for now) :)

Comparison videos won't be available until Tuesday at the earliest.

Great minimalist case.

Pros:

Visually attractive.

Super thin skin like profile.

Feels great in the hand.

Perfect cut outs.

Cons:

Kind of slick in hand, not very grippy.

Buttons are flush & a tad hard to distinguish at first.

Hey will you be making an iblason review on amazon.ca its 20$ so im hesitant :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] refinition:
Friend has one, it does indeed have bad buttons.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] d.cortez:
Can you clarify what you mean by saying the case has bad buttons? Case does not have buttons. Nexus buttons are exposed via cutout. thanks. ;)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
I think he's referring to the cutout specifically?

The Nexus 6 buttons are completely exposed on the FlexiSlim's cutout. At 0.5mm it is basically flush with the power and volume rockers. It is slightly difficult to distinguish placement until you become more familiar with the case but by no means interferes with the functionality.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
I have no plans to review that particular brand, sorry.

However, reviews on Amazon seem to be positive. A photo gallery is available for the ultra slim case here or click the link below.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] jaggrey:
I'm actually surprised I can one-hand this phone at all, let alone with the Fusion on it. With the Spigen Ultra Hybrid it was more uncomfortable even tho it's not much bigger if at all. The Max might end up feeling the same as the Spigen, and that lanyard thing doesn't help either.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The Ringke FUSION makes one hand use extremely pleasant!

As for the MAX, let me clarify.

The MAX is easy to hold. Very slim for such a durable, dual layer case. However, that lanyard strap feature in the corner is a mind trick and the small protrusion makes it feel as though you can not reach to areas you normally could.

Now, I will say that for my personal preference, that thing has got to go. It's just awkward for right hand usage.

I'll make a how to remove video if there is interest.

Thanks for this. Based on your recommendation, I'm going to try the MAX. The UAG also interests me, any head-to-head between the MAX and UAG?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ericsignals:
I ended up skipping spigen slim armor and am getting a Sim, a fusion and a max shortly. Saw a free shipping and a % off coupon in another thread and getting all 3 for $25 bucks or so. Thanks for the reviews, they helped immensely!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
I haven't tried the UAG, can't offer you anything other than opinion(s) based on reviews. I would personally not buy it. Why?

Too expensive for one. Secondly, the clear UAG Maverick case has very large branding on the back, which also interferes with the Nexus branding. Ultimately just too much going on visually to look appealing for the price. However, drop protection might be better than a Ringke MAX.

I would personally buy the MAX over the UAG. Looks better (my opinion) and much cheaper. Just be very aware that the lanyard option on the MAX might annoy you. Even more so if you are a right handed phone holder/user.

Glad they helped. All Ringke cases are pretty great. :good:

I am personally using the Fusion the most.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Hitman3984:
Ordered RIngke Max from Amazon while waiting on my Nexus 6 Ordered bought on Swappa.

As always amazon got it to me in a day but it arrived with the plastic shield just free floating between the plastic and rubber.

Disappointed, not sure if I should an attempt at ordering another one or looking for something different.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The plastic window can be separated. Unless it is broke you can simply just re-install it properly.

Refer to my video exactly here to see how to apply it back properly.

Any chance of doing a video for the diztronic ultra case? :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
so your favorite is still the ringke fusion? it has the best grip? I need to get a slim case for wireless charging just received the supcase unicorn beetle it's an awesome case but it doesnt charge. Ohh and since you have the moko case too how would you compare the grip moko vs fusion?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The reason I like the Ringke Fusion is due to being feature packed.

It's clear, has grippy tpu siding, protective flaps on top/bottom, awesome button design, offers excellent front lip protection even with my tempered glass, pretty slim profile, and great grip.

It is basically most of the cases I reviewed in one case and a reason I always find myself using it the most.

Plus it's a steal for $6 (on sale).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] th3xeroeagle:
great thanks for the reply i bought it. no sale in Canada though 14$ for us :D
[Nexus 6 Accessories] zephiK:
The sale actually ended as of today or yesterday. I personally have the crystal clear one, wanted the smoke black but wasn't available at the time.

Only con of the fusion is that it may come with scratches out of the box.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Worth every penny.

Seems every crystal case I have received comes with some minor scratches out of the packaging. Even the ones with protective sleeves still had scratches on the inside.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] captaincanada84:

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
No plans right now to review SUPCASE products. I've used them in the past with my Moto X 2013 -- nice case's.

CaseBase has sent me three colors of their ultra-slim premium folio flip-stand cases to review. I'll have those up once I receive them.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] danarama:
Nice reviews...

Is the rinke slim typically the slimmest case around?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Slimmest case is the Orzly FlexiSlim at 0.5mm thin. It's more a skin, imho.

Ringke Slim is the thinnest In terms of a hard polycarbonate case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] danarama:
Super, thanks. I'm considering a Crystal one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
:good:

I have both crystal & sf black for the slim, it's a great case.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madAdam6LOVE:
Based on your review decided to start with the Ringke Fusion. Snapped it on three weeks ago and haven't taken it off yet! Anything new you've tried that rivals the Fusion?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Nothing beats it, IMHO. I find myself using the Ringke Fusion or a Slim on a regular basis.

I just received a few Casebase folio flip-stand cases today. I'll review them soon.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
Seidio Surface & Dilex case prices are pretty absurd. The Spring-Clip Holster they have looks pretty nice. I may look into it down the road.

I'm editing a review for a folio case by casebase that is actually pretty nice & I'm not a huge fan of folio wallet type cases either.

Definitely growing on me.

[Nexus 6 Accessories] TR2N:
Hi guys,

I already have a big bunch of different cases and wallets. As there are the Ringke Fusion, the Spigen Wallet S, Spigen Thin Fit (Crystal Clear), a cheap one from Terrapin (also Crystal Clear and made of TPU), and a Spigen Neo Hybrid.

Ordered some another ones and will get the Orzly cases (the thin ones you have also tested here), a Supcase and another wallet, can't even remember the name. Ah, the Ringke Slim SF Black is also on the way...

I don't use cases normally, I prefer the naked phone with a fitBAG. But because of the fact that the Nexus 6 is such a big phone and the back is slippery, I am looking for better grip and a little bit of protection. I never dropped a phone before... *knock on wood*

Now I found this great thread - thank you for that!

In the moment the Ringke Fusion is my preferred case. But what I really don't like is the crystal and cheaply looking edge around the phone, when a case is on it. I can't help myself, but it makes a phone look wired and bulky.

Is the Ringke SLIM easy to remove? It looks so snappy and I don't want to add scratches to the metal.. Scratches BTW.. All users of the Spigen Thin Fit should review their case before pulling it on. I had minor production issues around the inner egdes that could lead to scratches on the plastic ring between the metal and the glass.

Thank you and kindly regards

Nico
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Andromjb:
The Ringke SLIM can be a little difficult to remove at first, until you get used to it. But you shouldn't be removing it all that much anyway. It just fits REALLY good, which isn't a bad thing.

SLIM will not scratch your aluminum sides, just make sure you don't have rough edges before installing the case. I've taken the three I own off over at least 50+ times now and they've done no damage.

I have the Fusion as well and think it's the best case available personally. I bought the smoke black color.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madAdam6LOVE:
+1 Fusion smoke black (with carbon fiber skin)
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TR2N:
Got both, Fusion Smoke Black and the SLIM in the mail today. I like the SLIM a little bit more, because of it is so slim... It is a nice understatement where the Fusion adds a little more bulk.

As last try to end my odyssey of finding the right case I found the following really interesting :

http://www.obliqcase.com/view/motorola-nexus-6-flex-pro.html

Orderd one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madAdam6LOVE:
Do you think the Slim provides enough drop protection? How would you compare it to the Fusion in terms of drop protection?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TR2N:
I think both, Fusion and SLIM don't provide damage protection when dropping it. You can read it on Reddit, many Fusions with cracked screens...

But this is not the primary goal for my search. I want a case for preventing(!) a drop and that has a very good grip. It should look good and it should not change the awesome look of the phone so much, i hate bulk that changes the phone using experience.

I never dropped a phone (knock on wood) and I also don't use cases normally, but because of the size of the Nexus and it's slippery back I need a case now.

For now, the SLIM is my favourite. But the one I have linked above looks also very nice. We will see when it arrives.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madAdam6LOVE:
The Obliq was a nice find. I just ordered one as well. Looking forward to comparing notes.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TR2N:
So the Obliq arrived and overall it is a very nice case. But it adds a little bit to much bulk for my taste. I will keep it for sure, but I am on the Ringke SLIM now. I like the SLIM and clean look. It doesn't add to much bulk and the grip is better than the naked phone.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madAdam6LOVE:
My Obliq is due today, looking forward to trying it. I don't mind a bit of bulk if the case provides true drop protection. In fact, I like the Ringke Max except it doesn't charge on my Qi chargers. Hoping that the Obliq is as nice/nicer than the Max and that it charges on my Qis.

UPDATE

So I'm giving the Obliq a try. It's very nicely made, and charges on the Qi. Bulk is comparable to the Fusion, but the back is pleasantly softer and grippier than the Fusion's hard plastic. I like the simple black look of the Obliq, but am going to try putting on the Dbrand carbon fiber skin and seeing how that looks in the Fusion smoke black case. Which reminds me:

[MENTION=4603145]TR2N[/MENTION], if you're only looking for a better grip and don't need the protection of a case, have you thought of trying a skin?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TR2N:
Dbrands are also on the way.. [emoji1]
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Atticustrd:
How are ringke fusion cases holding up with yellowing?
[Nexus 6 Accessories] madAdam6LOVE:
After about 4 weeks, no yellowing but quite a bit of scratching on the original release case. I put in a ticket to Ringke and they're sending an updated release replacement (shipping charge only).
[Nexus 6 Accessories] elevatorguy:

Hi guys,

after using the phone naked and with a sleeve / bag for some weeks now I have found a new, interesting case to try out. Nillkin Nature White TPU Case for the Nexus 6. It is 0.6 mm thin and also has clips for the USB and head phones ports. I ordered one to try out.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] jvidia:
The "Nillkin 0.6MM Clear Soft TPU" looks gorgeous :p

Only sold on ebay?? It takes so long to arrive :(

Two questions for the OP about the reviewed cases in this thread ...

1) about the Orzly FlexiSlim ... does it comes off easily in normal phone operation? I ask this because it seems very weak/thin to stay in place around the phone all time.

2) about the Ringke Fusion Smoke Black ... does it by any mean has the potential to scratch the phone metal frame?? I ask this because I always fear cases that have solid parts! As some one here stated that another case like the fusion scratched the metal frame. The metal frame of the Nexus 6 only contacts with the TPU part of the Ringke Fusion case or it contacts also with the back of the case?

Thanks,

Jorge
[Nexus 6 Accessories] TR2N:
The Ringke Fusion is full tpu. I can't scratch anything.

Nillkin case arrived today, my wife told me. I will have a look at it later this day.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Prack:
Just ordered my phone today, has anyone tried the Ringke MAX? I normally buy seidio but they look pretty terrible on this device. Would have liked a belt clip but the Ringke's are getting pretty good reviews.

update: I just watched all the videos and decided on the Ringke Fusion black smoke. Does anyone know of a belt clip/holster that works with this case? I can make room in my pocket but a holster would be preferred.
