It's definitely a case with urban design in mind; I just thought it looked really unique because of the Q*bert-style pattern on the rear, as well as having the Nexus branding. There's nothing else like it being sold as is as distinguishable as the phone's design itself, which is what drew me to it. Sure, you could get a $5-$20 generic case off Amazon, but that's what it is... generic.

I concur with your decision for going for carbon; it'll likely hide any accidental stains better than quartz, IMO. I'll probably get a more rugged case for when I do anything active, like hiking or field work. A pity we likely won't be seeing anything from the likes of Otterbox or LifeProof, which would've been perfect.

I order ---> carbon for graphite
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jrad44:
I bought a carbon one to go with my aluminium 6P.

I think the best pairing overall would have been a graphite 6P and the carbon case due to them both being the same shade of black/dark grey.

I didn't want the quartz case on my aluminium, reason being that it's really bright grey - especially on the bumper that surrounds the front of the phone and doesn't really look right against the dark black edges/bezel of all four 6P colours, to my eyes at least - especially since all of the 6P's have black front sides.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] twoeleven99:
It is expensive for sure. But I convinced myself in this way: I buy 4-5 cases for each phone I've ever owned, I figure I'd spend the extra and just use this one. It's the best looking one so far imo and I don't think I'll take it off.ordered the carbon for the graphite
[Nexus 6P Accessories] MrKal_El:
I got the Carbon for my Frost... I think the contrast of the white fingerprint area on the darker case will look pretty sweet.

Heads up on the official microfiber backed cases

I got my microfiber backed case today. The reviews said that the official case had low profile buttons for the power and volume rocker. They were not kidding. These are barely there. With how close together the volume rocker and power buttons are and with the case buttons being non textured I am pretty certain that intuitively and precisely using these controls is going to be a challenge. As I have had trouble finding mic'ed IEM cables with volume controls that work I often control volume from my pocket. I think they put the power button too close to the volume rocker. Using the rocker on the cased device from the pocket is likely to be a challenge. At this point I am fairly certain this is not the case for me. This unfortunate as I personally think it is a very good looking case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LuckyDragan:
I think I'm likely going to return the microfibre case as soon as I receive it. There have been multiple reviews stating issues with the case affecting the volume rockers, and I've also seen photos people took of the case where the cut and fit of the microfibre doesn't look quite flush with the phone, leading me to think that peeling may be inevitable. As much as I dig the design, I think I'd rather put $45 elsewhere, like $20 into a cheaper, better-made case.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Pilz:
I have both adopted case types (clear TPU and the microfiber). I like the microfiber one a lot more. It's the same thickness as the other one but feels nicer overall. Mine doesn't have any issues with the inlay then again I have no 6P yet (Google hates 128gb orders apparently) so I can't say much about the volume rocker
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jrad44:
I've received mine in the post today, its the carbon one. I'll put it on there when I get home and comment a bit on the fit/finish. A lot of people don't seem to like this case because of its price and how it offers little real protection. I just wanted a thin case that covers the back of the phone the protect from scratching with a nice design so it fit what I was after.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Moondawgy:
i'm in the same boat. i am used to using phones with thin cases. i got the quartz case a few days ago sitting here alone while my 128gb 6p still nowhere to be found. the quality of this case is alot better than i expected, and it'll be a nice case to swap for fancier occassions lol
[Nexus 6P Accessories] eep2378:
I got the quartz and the adopted clear frost today. They both look good. I thought the lighter color of the quartz would be a nice contrast with the graphite 6p I'm still waiting for. View attachment 3522276

[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jrad44:
So I've put the case on... It adds barely any thickness and makes it easier to grip. For some reason it makes the phone feel quite noticeably heavier though. The material on the back is really soft but its been dodgily applied. One side is kind of uneven around the border and you can sort of see glue residue.

It feels extremely snug against the device and bezels which I think is a good thing it really requires effort to pull the case off. I've had cases like these before where you can easily pull the case away from the phone which means dirt and dust gets down the gap but I don't feel like it will happen with this case.

The dip on the fingerprint sensor part makes it extremely easy to find the scanner - much easier than without the case.

I'd have paid £15 for this, maybe £20 at a stretch...I think £25 was just a little bit too much. Not as bad as the daylight robbery of the £35 official Apple iPhone 6 case I bought a few years back though.

Edit - also pressing the volume and power button with it on is absolutely no problem whatsoever. It's basically just as easy as without the case with the only downside being that on the case the power button isn't textured like on the phone itself so it's a bit hard to differentiate between volume and power.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] hutzdani:
Got my Carbon case today ( Images from Nexus 6 @ HDR - Wow this camera sucks vs the 6P )

Its quite thin, and soft its loose on the sides more than you'd like

ITS TOTALLY NOT WORTH THE PRICE !
[Nexus 6P Accessories] spovat:
Can you guys try taking screenshots with the case on and report back? I've used both the Adopted and official case and both have issues with pressing the power and volume down simultaneously for screenshots.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
Hmm one saying it fits very snug, one saying it's very loose.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] BTT8:
It looks like the cloth area of that case will eventually peel off. The Nexus lettering also looks like it could wear off eventually as well...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jrad44:
I'm pressing volume down and power at the same time with the official case on and it doesn't do anything?

Edit - nevermind, I didn't realise you have to hold both the buttons for a couple of seconds as I've never taken one before. Yes, it worked fine straight away.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
My quartz case arrived today, feels like a nice thin TPU case and the colour is nice. I would be moderately concerned that the colour will get marked up from pockets and jeans and look grubby though (like some of the Nexus 5 cases did).

Mine has a clear fault where the felt meets the TPU, I think they have quality control issues around this bit. It isnt huge but enough to return given it is a £25 case.

Apologies for the blurriness the speckled/tweed like design of the case gave the phone terrible problems focusing :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
I got my case today. Feels not as grippy as I'd like, but honestly without a phone in it, its premature to make any judgement.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Ulver:
I've got the quartz case for my graphite, but I'm going to return it and go for the carbon instead.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LuckyDragan:
So it seems Adopted has no problem with making high-end cases for the iPhone, but when it comes to the Nexus, they rush them without any kind of quality control? That's sad. Google was probably better off going with a more well-known brand to make the official cases.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dem389:
I'm returning mine for this exactly reason, I can't take screenshots with it on. As soon as it comes off I can take them though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] royalewihcheese:
Ordered the carbon one (for my graphite) with a 50% off coupon from Fi. Someone who wants one of these cases should start a thread and beg codes off of Fi people who aren't using theirs, I almost didn't.

When I ordered the phone they told me that I'd be getting a 50% off coupon when the phone shipped, and so I went to look at cases. I think the Adopted cases were only $10 right when they were first available, because I remember thinking that's a sweet case for $5.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dadoc04:
with that said...

anybody wanna PM a coupon from their Fi purchase?? ??

I have the carbon and I've had no issues that others are describing. The power and volume buttons work fine and I don't see any issues with the back. It may be a little pricey compared to other comparable cases, but it's got that unique Nexus look which makes it special. It makes the phone feel more sturdy and easier to grip.

I agree except until I put it some food or dirt and the back gets stained.

Anyone else think it's just too damn thick? I'm no fan of cases but, where I've used one in the past, I've sought out something ultra thin. This just turns a deliciously slender phone into a bit of an elephant. But are there thinner options which are a) as pretty as that fibre back, b) as accommodating of the laser-focus and c) as well made?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rdoane:

The buttons on this Google ones suck to be honest and the case interfere with my TGSP and pulls it up in the corners. I like the case but its virtually unusable right now.

My case squeaks if I press the case near the buttons ;__;
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ©ZEUS®™:
I have the quartz case - aluminum body combination. The case looks and feels great and fits perfectly. The velvet-like feeling of the back area is excellent. But I wish I have got the carbon version. Because the sides and edges of the quartz version started to get yellowed-darkened just after my 10 days of usage. I tried to vipe those stains but I couldn't find a way to remove them yet. I'm living in Turkey, Google Play Store doesn't sell any phones or accessories here and I made my American friend bring the phone and the case from USA, now I don't have the chance to return it or buy the carbon one.

I'm considering to buy the carbon case from eBay, but I'm not sure it's really the original one. What do you guys think: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Google-Genu...hash=item21081124ef:m:m2sVJZKkeigikA6aHHGDdLQ

Btw, I should warn everybody about this getting-dirty-real-quick problem of the quartz original case of Nexus 6p.

There is a deductible of $79

http://imgur.com/P4koyk4
[Nexus 6P General] _Dennis_:
One time payment of $89, then deductible of $79 is total $168 for a new (or refurbished) replacement. That's not bad considering the carrier ones are per month so if you don't use it in the first 10 months it's is more expensive then Google's.
[Nexus 6P General] tech_head:
Not bad. Verizon charges $100 per device.

I have TEC but that also includes theft. I'm debating whether I cancel it or not.
[Nexus 6P General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
did you get it? I skipped it.
[Nexus 6P General] madmike23:
It's still a lot of money, but I do understand that it's cheaper than others. And its limit of 2 incidents. I decided to cancel mine though.
[Nexus 6P General] dirtbikerr450:
I did buy it. It also add a pretty good resale value to the device if you can transfer it when you sell the device

[Nexus 6P General] cloney:
aside from accidental dmg, you'll get 3 years of warranty with Amex. 1 year MFG original warranty, 1 additional yr for nexus protect then 1 more year from Amex warranty... but how many of you will still have the phone after 2 years?
[Nexus 6P General] SymbioticGenius:
That's a valid point. When I got this Nexus I said I would keep it at least 2 years. The specs (usability) aren't even that huge of an upgrade from what I have now, but I want it and if I keep it I will sell this one which will make the price negligible. Warranties and insurance are best for things you can't afford to lose. Life, home, car. Everything else... Just buy again.

[Nexus 6P General] bitpushr:
I did end up getting the Protect warranty. Busted my Nexus 6 twice, once shipped it back to get a new screen/device ($214 I believe) and the second time replaced the screen by myself ($160). Finally slapped a case on it but would rather have it covered.
[Nexus 6P General] bigimac78:
I got it as well it's hard to beat the price imo
[Nexus 6P General] aygriffith:
Only if the buyer perceives value. I personally would pay zero extra for it knowing if I ever attempted to use a transfered policy that it would inevitably be an absolute fiasco.

These warranties offer so little value anymore as the price of repairs and devices keeps falling. Matter a fact, it appears even as prices on high end devices keeps falling (iPhone excluded) the warranty prices are increasing. That's nonsensical.
[Nexus 6P General] 51ice:
for a big screen, it is worth to have a warranty
[Nexus 6P General] razor237:
I decided to get it over going with the 128 storage , might be a mistake but who knows. i've only had to use insurance on a smart phone twice.
[Nexus 6P General] jt3:
I'm a bit surprised on the pricing, honestly. The cost is identical, whether you're buying it for the $499 version or the $649 version. If it's a good deal on the 32GB version, it's a fantastic deal for the 128GB one, which is the one I ordered. For some reason, it's not offered if ordering it through Fi, so I didn't get it. However, they're clear that I'll be given an option to buy it later, which I will certainly do.

It's been my experience that anytime I don't have the warranty, I need it, and vice versa. 90 bucks for 2-years worth of piece of mind is worth it to me.
[Nexus 6P General] Cares:
I didn't get it. Not worth it in my opinion.
[Nexus 6P General] cloney:
Think of it as a $165 case... use it naked and if the screen breaks, exchange it for refurb one.
[Nexus 6P General] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
I passed on it to go with SquareTrade.

With a coupon code you can get a 2 year with accidental for ~ $70 and the deductible is $75 /claim.

I also couldnt find if Nexus Protect covers full submersion as part of its accidental coverage?
[Nexus 6P General] chipstien:
What I want to know is whether this warrantee has limitations when unlocking and installing custom ROMs
[Nexus 6P General] pdubcramp:
Yeah, strange they let people buy the insurance without even disclosing the full details. They'll let you cancel when you receive the phone if you want though.
[Nexus 6P General] queekus:
I too would like to know if it covers rooted phones

I suspect it does not, but then if i just run the phone over with the car and then claim it? I couldn't find information about a phone being severely damaged if that is covered, they keeps saying things like "droped" or "liquid spilled". What if I "drop" it from a 20 story building?
[Nexus 6P General] krazyq:
Same here

If I went with a 64gb I would've probably skipped it.

I'm hoping this is the phone for me for the next 1-2 years so I got the 128 with the warranty so I don't have to think about it or worry about anything.

I never put cases on phones since I get the phone for the look and feel for it so cases ruin that.

I do however put a tempered glass screen protector on them.
[Nexus 6P General] Slacker101:
True, but it does not cover lost/stolen devices like the carrier's insurance plans *cough aka asurion cough* does cover. It says in the terms that if the device cannot be returned then you are SOL. I'd rather just pay per month with a slightly higher deductible to know I'm covered with anything.
[Nexus 6P General] AhsanU:
This x234234234242

When I buy Nexus phones, I install various ROM's and immediately unlock the bootloader. I'm weary of the fact that they may claim my warranty is invalid because I've rooted the device, or have a custom ROM installed.

It'd be a bit silly on Google's end though, I mean - accidental physical damage is covered, and they can't blame it on a custom ROM.. unless the ROM causes the phone to overheat and you dropped it because your phone reached 100°c while using it lmao

But honestly, I'm real careful with my phones. I've never dropped and broke a screen or anything like that (knock on wood). Thank goodness for large hands!
[Nexus 6P General] _Dennis_:
True, lost/stolen protection is worth a lot. Some of the carrier ones though you pay double for the phone by the end of the 2 year contract, seems a waste to me.
[Nexus 6P General] Slacker101:
True, Verizon's isn't a bad deal. I'm grandfathered in to a lower price, but it is 8 bucks a month for extended warranty as long as I have the phone, plus insurance on whatever phone is activated on my line. Though I still pay 100 dollar deductible to claim from insurance for accidental damage/lost/stolen. The warranty claims have no cost.

Unfortunately, when you use a nexus 6 or other device that was not purchased through Verizon or a partner (so not the Verizon version) the warranty part is nullified until you activate another device that qualifies. Still worth it for the lost/stolen IMO. It's 200 bucks over the normal contract for the peace of mind. Though honestly, I haven't been under a contract for over two years now. So I want to keep my unlimited data.
[Nexus 6P General] nbaj2k:
I always have had the insurance with my Verizon phones , but the lost/stolen part is the only thing that the Nexus Protect don't cover. And since Verizon won't offer the phone, I guess I'll just have to be super careful (not that I'm not anyways). it's too bad that the $8 a month won't cover theft of the phone since it's not from Verizon (unless I'm somehow mistaken).

-J
[Nexus 6P General] Slacker101:
No no no, asurion will still cover it, you just don't get the extra warranty bundled with the cover everything (what most people have for insurance for 8 bucks a month) on Verizon.
[Nexus 6P General] nbaj2k:
Really interesting thanks I never knew that and am surprised that would be covered. But if I lose the phone and go to file a claim, assuming I wouldn't get replaced with another Nexus 6P though since Assurion probably doesn't have inventory for that right? It's too bad then that Verizon doesn't offer a cheaper plan for lost/stolen.

-J
[Nexus 6P General] joedeveloper:
I didn't purchase it. I thought about it, but I've never used insurance when I've had it through a carrier in the past anyhow. *knock on wood*. Good case, good habits, hope for the best. Insurance is a risk game.
[Nexus 6P General] Slacker101:
Asurion will most likely replace it with the same device, since they carry the unlocked version for other carriers. They cover more carriers than just Verizon. I called to make sure when I was considering the nexus 6. Decided to wait for the 6p.
[Nexus 6P General] Semantics:
I always use squaretrade too. Can you email me a coupon if you get one? I haven't gotten one in ages for some reason.
[Nexus 6P General] nbaj2k:
Since this phone isn't offered by any aurally carrier itself and is just straight through the Google store, is that definitely still the case? I know carriers actually sold the Nexus 6.

-J
[Nexus 6P General] Pilz:
Its still a better deal than Moto Care was last year.

I bought it for mine because I drop things

Is still worth the money considering the price of the phone and I'm sure a screen replacement isn't cheap without a warranty

Notably I dont see any exclusions for rooted devices which implies they are covered for all of the accidental damage etc. However maybe not as a malfunction of the device, yet if recent history is anything to go by, many people have had their devices replaced for free after messing up a device root.

Also it covered devices that got wet and stopped working. The level of submersion should not matter.
