Also see this. although they don't show a 6P

edit..this one shows the 6P

[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
Thanks for the link. Just bought one!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Let us know how it works out. Take note of your signal strength too. The metal bumpers have little cut outs for the antennas on the frame, but I'd suspect some hindrance still present.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alobear:
lol man, I bought one of those for my note 3 and nexus 6.. every time I'm super tempted and finally bite the bullet and always am disappointed. I want to get this one.. but I have to refuse just from past experiences.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
What was wrong with it?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alobear:
I can't exactly say, but it just isn't a good case lol.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
I hear ya. I had one of those for a gs3. Didn't feel like it protected the phone much. The back of the phone protruded beyond the bumper slightly and the edges were slightly sharp. Hopefully this one is decent.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alobear:
lol exactly spot on. here are some I had bought in the past and man, regretted my decision every time. they don't feel good, they don't protect, they're just over all bad cases. they are cool..? but suck at doing their job.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
Evolutive Labs now has red and dark blue options available for pre-order and will even allow existing pre-orders to switch colors.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwang:
I ordered this one

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Alum...5265908?var=&hash=item3ab8025d74&_sid=2048038

its metal/aluminum so hopefully it will add some more rigidity to the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LuckyDragan:
That won't do anything for drop protection, really, compared to the Crash Guard. Extra metal won't help absorb any impact, and the front and rear glass is still susceptible to cracking because the bumper doesn't extend past the face/rear.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crkdslider:
Not to mention signal issues.

On Facebook they have a poll going...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] aziz831:
Can you please post pictures of it when you get it and do a review on it. Thanks. :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] otariq:
Any one know what that project s thing is on evolutive labs? I can't tell the difference.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
They have YouTube videos on it. Just looks like some plastic screen protectors that seem to absorb shock pretty well
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tech_head:
May not have signal issues.

Since the phone is already aluminum it may just be more metal.

Remember the cutouts for camera and at the bottom house antennae.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
So... Here's what I did just for you guys[emoji1]

I bought a cheap generic case from china, and literally butchered it. You can see what it's like before and after. Would I recommend this to anyone? No. This case is made of very flexible material, which means it loses pretty much all structural integrity with the back cut off. It's just flimsy and near impossible to cut clean lines. I used a box cutter.

But I learned something[emoji106]
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jumpman1229:
I pre ordered this: http://www.evolutivelabs.com/collec...umper-for-huawei-nexus-6p?variant=10451840577

It looks very promising!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] galaxys:
"A" for effort! :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
I literally lol'd at the finished product. You live and you learn... But I'm still gonna try this on the poetic affinity case. That one seems to have a stiffer plastic. Should be good[emoji6]
[Nexus 6P Accessories] petzku:
25$ for a bumper! imo thats very expensive..
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
I really want to see a picture of the evo-labs bumper other then the computer renders they have now. The lips of the bumper just look so large, not sure how comfortable it would be in hand.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jumpman1229:
I also agree, but I'm just wanting to try it really
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwang:
got my aluminum bumper from ebay.

It looks great with my dbrand leather skin and tgsp.

The buttons feel great and it keeps the same aluminum feel as a naked n6p.

One thing that could be a deal breaker for me is it does affect cell signal quality. At home, I usually get 2 bars. With the case on, I now only get 1 or 0 bars.

The bumper does look great, but if it affects the phone's functionality then its not worth it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] c.thelen1996:
I ordered a bumper on aliexpress for 6$.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Care to share a link?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Chengbyarmbar:
Just got the silver metal bumper, seems to cause some GPS issues as well as WiFi and lte reception issues. My GPS signal has been dropping and reconnecting with this case on. Never had that issue with my supcase. Hopefully the rhino shield ships early.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] c.thelen1996:
Here you go! :good:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] nazs:
On preoder are crash guard (full bundle, front and bumper, and bumper only ) from evoltuive labs. Expected to ship January 10.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
I got mine as well, but it doesn't seem to affect signal for me. You really need to look at the signal dB instead of the number of bars. I used the Network Signal app to check my signal with/without the bumper. I live in a very poor coverage area for Verizon and without the bumper, I had signal ranging between -104 dB to no signal. I got the same with the bumper.

It fits well, but my problem with it is that it is too slick. Also, I got used to having to intentionally press the buttons because of the case that I had. Now I accidentally press them all the time.

I'm probably going to switch back to the case until my Evolutive Labs bumper comes.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Chengbyarmbar:
Speed test reveal the upload speed is most affected. https://goo.gl/photos/Wx5a7cPQZEFwATfZ8
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Franzie3:
In had one of those metal aluminum bumpers on my S5 and ti had nothing but bad signal issues and horrible GPS. I would never recommend it.

basically in an area of 1-2 bars of vzw lte it basically wouldnt do a damn think and i'd drop calls and it was almost unusable. at work where I had full service it was cut in half at times.

GPS forget about it. Anytime i used it with the case on it never locked location. at the time when I was heavy into ingress it would jump me all over or ingress would say not location foudn etc etc.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dwang:
yep, the reception issues pretty much ruin the bumper for me. It looks great, but if my gps and cell signals get degraded its useless.

Oh well, back to my ringke fusion until the rhinoshield crash guard bumper ships.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Franzie3:
I'm waiting for the rhino guard from evolutive...hopefully it hits amazon for like $14.99. I have the ringke with a red carbon dbrand for now
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
do they sell any other cases on Amazon?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] leekslk:
does anyone think it is possible to get a manufacturer to make something like the mod-3 case for iPhone that will fit the nexus 6P? I'm tempted to write to mod-3 but seeing they've NEVER done anything apart from iPhone cases makes me doubt they would even entertain the idea.

Still waiting for my bumper case that I've ordered from eBay to arrive, will post back with any issues that I see.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
Looks wicked cool... But not sure how much of a protection it will provide.... Am on the wait list for rhino shield to deliver....

Have also set my eyes on Poetic revolution(for outdoorsy stuff) and Speck Candyshell (if they ever deliver to India)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] eefo:
Lol no offence but at first look it gives an image of crossed strap bra ?????
[Nexus 6P Accessories] leekslk:
i knew there was something that attracted me about the case = X
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Franzie3:
Not sure how to answer.

Amazon has many cases for the 6p.

Does evolutive? Yes but I haven't seen the 6p yet
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
Sorry, yes thats what I meant, does Evolution sell on Amazon.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] leekslk:
I'm trying to see if I could get some small manufacturer to make a prototype. If the plan flies and it's good, we could do a mass order or something.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] ylexot:
Yes, they sell on Amazon, but the price is no different.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] InfiniteReality:
If anyone happens to be looking for the same metal bumper cases to try, came across a cheaper version than previous links.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] PradaGx:
Do not buy that bumper. I just received mine and fell in love with it, but there is one major flaw that makes it completely useless for us. It somehow interferes with our internal antennas and causes me to go from full bars to no service. I also lost my bluetooth headphones connection with the bumper on. It's very unfortunate because this bumper is very sleek and feels premium. Luckily the seller immediately refunded me when I told him of the situation (kinda felt like he knew it already though).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] galaxys:
Yep, those Metal Bumpers are high risk for our antenna....
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Harry.O:
Think I found one?

Hi guys, I found a bumper from a website called "caseinthebox" but I can't post a link as im a new user. Hope this helps though!

H:)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Andrew025:
It's the same for pretty much every phone I've ever had.

People always report weakened signal with the metal bumpers.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dia_naji:
I bought a bumper case on ebay for 6.99. They actually have an antenna cutout. Been using it for 3 days now no problem. http://www.ebay.com/itm/25219526590...49&var=551030606073&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Would you happen to have any pics? I'm thinking of ordering two of them since the price is pretty reasonable. No issues with cell signal, WiFi or GPS?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] synplex:
If anyone preordered the Rhino Shield Bumper, please post pics as soon as you get it to this thread Please. I'm dying to see "real world" pics before I order. Thx
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
Got an email from evolutive labs. Anyone who preordered the 5x and 6p bumpers will have 25%of from their site till the end of eternity. Just thought I'd throw that out there
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
Yup... But I am still on the edge about Project S.... It didn't turn out what I was thinking... Just a dbrand skin and that too 1 color black
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TBarb169:
Yeah, I feel a little hosed on project s. If you are going to sell me another company's skin, at least let me choose which one.

I was really hoping for something clear for my aluminum 6P. Part of the whole reason for wanting a bumper in the first place...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rohit25:
Yup... Let's see what the screenshots look like... Might cancel the project s part from my order.... The bumper should be good...

Although I might pay more if there is a upgrade option to there lifeproof cases....
[Nexus 6P Accessories] leekslk:
I'm not sure if it applies to all the aluminium bumper cases (someone who has better luck on other cases please chime in). But this particular one I recieved, although of good quality and fit even has the antenna cut outs (!), severely affected the radio signals. I don't see problems with the GPS however the phone is constantly switching network and is having a hard time staying on 4G. A quick check on sppedtest (app) also revealed that speeds (both download and upload) dropped to 10% when the case is on the phone. Problem is resolved by removing the case (unfortunately). The seller seems to understand the problem and has since refunded the full sum

Do you know if it's only for people who order before a certain date? I ordered after you posted and never got an email about it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] rice923:
The email mentioned that any preorders should have this lifetime honor. Perhaps send them an email about it. Below is a transcript of the relevant portion of the email content from them:

Dear Rhino Fans,

Hope you are having a wonderful holiday. As 2015 winding down, we at RhinoShield would like to express our gratitude for our Nexus 6p and 5x bumper fans! For our Nexus 6p and 5x customers, if you have pre-ordered our products,*we will provide you a LIFETIME 25% off discount for all your future purchases!

Please note that the lifetime discount only applies to your future purchases, so your previous orders will not be considered for this discount. If you know anyone who have not pre-order yet, hurry and tell them this special offer! This discount code will be given to you after we started shipping in January. It will only be for people who pre-ordered either bumper.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] LuckyDragan:
I'm super impressed with Evolutive Labs' customer service. I e-mailed them expressing disappointment about Project S being just a black dbrand skin, and that I wanted to downgrade my preorder to just the Crash Guard bumper. They responded within hours and processed my refund with a day. Props to those guys for speed, efficiency, and understanding.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mimitran:
I will send them an email about it. Thank you!

[Nexus 6P Accessories] daewond3r:
Same here. Seems kinda weird that these are supposedly shipping out soon and they haven't released any pics or video of the actual bumper.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
Considering these are designed to protect your phone from a ten foot drop, and I have seen tests with both iPhones and Galaxies, I think the amount of material there is minimal. Love that they will be available for the 6P as in the past they have only been made for the iPhone and the most popular samsungs.

848 listings for "nexus 6p bumper" (over 2000 for just "6p bumper"). Could you be more specific? Are you talking about the metal one that has already been mentioned, ordered, and discussed in this thread?

Nope, nothing in my inbox yet.

Their original estimation said "around" January 10, not on Jan 10. Unfortunately, it didnt work out in our favor and ship a little earlier. It looks like it will ship a little later, especially considering many countries' Post service does not operate on Sundays for shipping

XDA Members,

I have been trying to update the spread sheet to keep people accountable for what they had pledged. If you have installed root using Tungkick's method please donate to him. If you have donated; Thank you for keeping your word! I encourage you all to do what you had promised. Donating the full pledge amount would be very appreciated as well. So far it is looking like Tungkick is well below the estimated value of what you all pledged. Please help make things right and follow through on your end.

IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DONATED PLEASE PM ME (with your name or email that comes through when you send a Paypal payment AND what XDA user name I should tie that donation to).

When you donate it would be helpful for you to put your XDA member name in the comments.

Yea same here...i will hold out a month or two after it comes out to see how the development scene will become
[LG V10 General] One Twelve:
I kinda wonder if the buyers of this device even care about such ?

verge said v10 is for content creators and g4 is for content consumers. if anything the consumer version is what people will tinker with.

the v10 should have everything you need ottb without having to futz around.

This is isn't a competitor to the note. i'm wondering what the g pro will be like.
[LG V10 General] reznorfan0:
Why do you say it's not a competitor to the note? It's certainly a flagship+ type device? Not trying to argue, just want to know your thinking. I've been a note guy since the original, but now with the 5 and the fact that they got rid of sd storage (I'm a big fan of emulator gaming) and the removable battery, I'm shopping around. The V-10 looks to have everything I have with the note 4 (except the s-pen which is rarely used). And the V-10 has some style to it that makes it not look like every other phone out there right now.
[LG V10 General] Warrior1975:
I tend to agree, I think this is a competitor to the Note series as well. If the only competition for the Note series are phones with a stylus, that doesn't leave much.

If you don't consider this to be a competitor, just curious as to which phones you belive are?

this is a great idea ;)

CVE-2015-6602 is the key for V10 root
[LG V10 General] fozza:
Just curious as to what people think are the key reasons for rooting these days.

I have a note 3 and will be looking to upgrade to this when it comes to the UK.

My note 3 is rooted and I did it mainly to get more advance features for Tasker.

Now I very rarely use Tasker so don't think I will be rooting my next phone unless there is a good reason to?

Cheers

For Titanium Backup app restoration, advanced features, choice of ROM with features or optimizations not present in stock firmwares, Xposed, adblockers on Web and YouTube, etc, etc...

You don't know why rooting? Don't do it. Or go with an iPhone... [emoji6]
[LG V10 General] fozza:
No need to be an arse about it :) There are different levels of Android users, not everyone wants all the things you just described but doesn't mean they should be sent off to apple!
[LG V10 General] gamin92:
Just saying if you don't want, don't do it. OR choose a closed system. There's choice.

Wasn't pointing you personally, just saying my thoughts about it.

Android is a great OS, mainly because you've got a full access to it, and can change/customize almost everything. Not rooting it may be OK for many users, but that's jumping beside the swimming pool. Just my point, as you asked our point about rooting devices...
[LG V10 General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Hmph.

I'll say this. I have had my LG G3 for over a year and a half, that is longer than I have kept any phone since I began my Android venture with the G1. I had the G3 rooted for about 3 weeks. I have always had my devices rooted. I'll say this - though the option to root and unlock the bootloader would be very nice, I have found myself very fond of the LG UI - for a manufacturer UI skin, LG's takes the cake. Far less memory hungry than sense or TouchWiz, and the phone remains very snappy.

I have no need for root with the power of these devices now, the leaps and bounds in camera software, etc.

I think the software on these phones, while skin dependent can slow it down, has moved leaps and bounds past that of 3 years ago. There are some useful aspects of it. For instance, one major reason I and most others are looking heavily at this phone is the camera - well I have news for you if you didn't know - most of that is software driven, software that is not available on an AOSP based ROM. Sure, the phone might be a hair faster, but if you can't use the beautiful 16 MB camera on the back to it's full potential (The highlight of an amazing phone) is it even worth it?

Now, the answer might be yes to you, and it might even be a yes for me when I get the phone in my hands (if, lol), but I would bet that I am not alone in my stance, and I'm sure that there are others here that used to be flashaholics that no longer have a true need for it.

Of course, if you are using a Samsung device or HTC, sure I see a need because that OS skin is horrendous. BUT, with a phone with this hardware, with a fairly light skin, and from what I can see amazing camera software/hardware... Do you need to root this thing?

I suppose you can justify root without bootloader, however again, I do not need it thus probably won't go there.

I am not bashing you, simply stating where I come from now, and how my thoughts and needs have changed on the issue of ROM flashing in the last year with my still amazing G3.

I am only now looking for a new device because I felt this year would bring amazing devices... So far, the only two really worth looking at are the Nexus 6P - which is only available in the states through Google/Huwai, and this V10. Maybe the OnePlus 2. Maybe.

Cheers.
