Good to hear! Mine has made it to the US, so hopefully next week I'll have my official case. With the 6p with a case, I've noticed I hit the volume buttons ALOT when picking up the phone. My ring is either blaring loud or on silent without me noticing. I think the official case will solve that since the buttons will be a little recessed.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nocturnal86:
It's actually not as good as he makes it sound. It does look good but It is very slippery and not just in finish, but because it has more rounded sides than flat sides so it's harder to grip in one hand. Also all the edges are sharp and in particular the bottom of the case is sharp and cuts into your pinky or finger or finger you use to support the bottom of the phone and makes it very uncomfortable. I don't understand why they didnt make it wrap the bottom of the phone like it does on the top.

For more than 20 bucks not worth it. Luckily I bought it as part of a 3 piece package of the official case, official earbuds and official screen protector for 15 on eBay a while back. So that made it easier to swallow since I don't use it...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thegrants82:
No way. I have both and the huawei is a piece of crap. Almost as slippery as a naked 6p and it has a really sharp edge on the bottom. My Nillkin nature is the best 6p case that I have used so far.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
You obviously don't take pictures with your phone. It ruins photos with flash.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thegrants82:
Study up before trolling. You obviously don't read enough because there is an easy fix for the Nillkin flash.......but flash pics with my 6p? Not many but I take hundreds of the kids each week and they look fantastic with my 6p. The camera and battery on the 6p are the best features.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
Wow. Calm down kid.

What's the fix?

One thing I'll say is that the bottom edge of the Huawei case is sharp and hurts my pinky which I use for support. I've used my wife's nail filer to smooth it out a bit but I think I need to do a bit more.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thegrants82:
Lol. Kids.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
Are the buttons covered? Do you notice the case peeling back when holding? That's one of the things that bothered me about the Nillkin. It would roll on the edges a bit.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaulQ602:
Yes, buttons are covered but one drawback I have learned is that you get no feedback when you press the buttons. No click or even feel that you are pressing them. I don't like this but I love the case so much.

Not completely sure what you mean by peel back but I don't think it happens. Case fits snug.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
I don't take pictures using the flash. Never have. My flash is only used as an emergency torch light. The Nillkin is the best 'slim' case for the 6P. No question. I've had a few others and Nillkin always wins.

---------- Post added at 05:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:34 AM ----------

Yes it does do this strange 'pop back' like you describe but it isn't very often. And for this reason alone, I go back to a thicker case only to come running back to the Nillkin for its fit, small footprint and simply how thin it is. I then remind myself that it's really for scratch protection and for lightly dropping onto a desk from the hand when typing while eating. It isn't for drop protection. The bigger cases just make this already big phone even bigger.

BTW, using the Nillkin, my buttons DO click audibly for the volume keys and almost audibly for the power, simply because that's actually how tactile the buttons are without a case too.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jhonys:
Just got my Nillkin nature case and I must admit I don't care for it so much. It has a cheap feel to it and it doesn't fit tight enough on the phone IMO.

My other slim case I use is the spigen tight fit (I think that's how it's called) which apart from the fingerprints it can attract sometimes it's a very nice case.

Just my two cents.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lido:
This is what i got and I couldn't be happier:
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
That case seems like it would make the buttons a pain to access.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bkrickles:
Love this case too. Only con is it's a fingerprint magnet. I have the rugged armor too and it's a different material and doesn't attract prints. I love that you can see the aluminum trim on the thin fit.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] lido:
No! There are cutouts for all inputs and buttons. The picture I included was to show how slim it is.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
Problem with those cases is that there's no protection up top and lower rim. The metal chamfered edge will look battered or mangled if dropped at a very specific angle.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bkrickles:
You are correct. This case is for people like myself that wear a suit and tie all week and keep the phone safe in my shirt breast pocket. On the weekends I throw on the rugged armor for a little more protection. The thin fit keeps a great look. If it wasn't so damn slippery, I'd keep the phone naked all week
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Roscopcoletrain:
yes and no. it does wrap up around the top and bottom & sides from the back. So really unless it falls and lands perfectly on the top/bottom front, it should get some protection.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thetonyclifton:
Is there a case which covers all four sides like the Nillkin but without the branding and USB port cover? (Ideally also a slightly smaller fingerprint scanner cutout.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] kellybrf:
there are lots if you search eBay, Aliexpress or even Amazon. that said, I keep coming back to the nature because even with the port cover it's the best case
[Nexus 6P Accessories] tdub1025:
I just really want Ringke to make a slim case that covers all 4 sides.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nocturnal86:
keep emailing them and get others to. They need to see there is interest.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
There's one called Lenuo
[Nexus 6P Accessories] miquelet1981:
I found that case:

Cimo [Matte] Premium Slim Fit Flexible TPU Cover

I cannot post a link, I still don't have 10 comments in XDA to do it...but if you search on amazon, you can find it there.

It seems to be really slim, and one of the things that make me pay attention on that case is the matte touch....no finger prints....Just Like orzly flexislim with the motorola nexus 6...

I will try...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] asylumxl:
This one?

http://www.amazon.com/Cimo-Premium-Flexible-Huawei-Google/dp/B015EHQRBY

Doesn't look too bad. Only way to know for sure is to try it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] miquelet1981:
Exactly, that one. Looks thin...Tomorrow I will receive it...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] asylumxl:
Look forward to hearing your findings :).
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
Definitely not as slim as the other cases discussed here.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] vigos:
I just got my Spigen slim fit. Nice to the touch and way less bulkier than my Moko. I do find the bottom border a bit too sharp when resting on my finger.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] miquelet1981:
I have received the CIMO MATTE SMOKE case (you can find it in amazon or amazon.co.uk), and currently is the best one in my opinion (waiting to receive nillkin ultraslim for a final decission)

- Fits like a glove, without any kind of maladjustment.

- Buttons works fine. No problems with screenshots, 10/10.

- The back is matte style, not rubber. The finger prints are not stuck, and does not offer the typical grip of a gel. For me, a great touch, just what I wanted.

- It is semi-transparent, so you can see quite well the finishing of the 6P.

- The side bezel, is typical TPU GEL, and so I think that is the best solution, since it also promotes grip and gives a sense of security on hands.

- The side bezel is not semitransparent, it's completely transparent, which allows you to see 100% the bezel of phone.

- It's slim, not ultraslim, but is the thinner that I have tested for the moment. Much thinner than Spigen Rugged Armor for example.

- All the gaps for jack, charging port, etc, have the right size. The laser focus of the camera is uncovered.

Best regards,

Some pictures
[Nexus 6P Accessories] galaxys:
^looks nice and light!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
I just wanted to show you the cut I made for the USB cover. I think it is completely a non issue for me now. YMMV
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
Might as well cut the camera opening to resolve the flash glare.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Anastacio_Guerrero:
That's what I did and it solved the camera glare problem.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
I absolutely NEVER use the flash. It never occured to me that it was a problem until I read it on this forum, so I'm gonna leave it as is. Thanks for the idea though.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] syntrix:
That last line, do you even have the 6P? Might want to update that if you do.

I have that case, I've used flash, I don't have a problem. Not sure where this started other than you. Can you link to the specific thread?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] asylumxl:
It's in this very thread...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] syntrix:
Thanks for updating your sig!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
It is all over this thread. It is physically impossible for someone to have the issue while others don't, considering it is a design flaw and all involved equipment is the same. However, you will only notice the issue depending on the distance of the subject that is being shot.

I don't use flash regularly, but there have been times where it was needed and I had to remove the case to get a usable picture. I refuse to resort to doing that. Nillkin should remedy the situation with a modification to the camera/flash opening.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] syntrix:
Oh my, there's that signature again. I see you are using a OnePlus One :) :) :)

There's also the matte nillken if you think there's a flash issue :) I went to the matte, it's more what I'm looking for. The clear TPU style cases seem to hold oil and get slippery over time. The matte is more of a hard rubber.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
Could you kindly link to the matte Nillkin you refer to please?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] asylumxl:
I think you're confusing me with someone elee lol. I'm not the guy who has a One Plus One.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
I have been using a Nexus 6P since day one of release. People don't update their signatures often as they use third party apps such as Tapatalk. I'll update it when 8 get to my desktop if it makes you feel any better.

I'll give the matte skin a try. Is there a frosted version available? I wonder if the flash glare is gone with it.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
This looks identical to the Amzer case I am rocking except mine is matte black and the sides aren't translucent.

I switch to the Nillkin for lowest profile scratch protection and aesthetics.

The Amzer for a notch better protection as it doesn't 'peel' ala the Nillkin and is sightly thicker too, all round and on the lip. The Amzer also gives a really unique soft touch matte grip, like you described.

I switch to the Orzly for bump protection and peace of mind if I'm outdoors or travelling. Doesn't look half bad in the clear version too.

If I HAD to choose just one, then the Amzer would be my 'best of both worlds' choice. In any case (excuse the pun), your pictures have convinced me to buy the Cimo case and see where it fits among my trio of cases.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaulQ602:
I had to come back here and rescind my positive review of the "Ultra-thin Transparent Clear Case Cover For Various Huawei Ascend & Honor Models," the one that claims to be 0.3mm thick.

After using it for a week, you can barely feel the raised "buttons" and there is almost zero feedback when you press them. I put on the Amzer Pudding TPU case today and it's much better.

That's $3.32 down the drain! :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
That's exactly the same one I have. I posted pictures of it a few pages back but the power button is just not as responsive as with the Nillkin. Protection wise, it's much better protection than the Nillkin and it feels better to the touch, despite adding a negligible layer of bulk.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] daewond3r:
After my mishap with the Nillkin Nature, I promptly went back to the Spigen rugged armor, which I found a bit too bulky. I received an Amazon gc credit for something and I decided to pick up the Spigen Ultra Hybrid—my 5th case for my 6P. I wish I had bought this case first! I know it's not as thin as the Nature, but somehow it feels very similar in hand. It's definitely less bulky compared to the rugged armor. The materials feel very rigid and it's a little tough to put on and take off but I don't mind if that means better protection. Very happy with my purchase.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaulQ602:
You are talking about the clear Spigen, right? Are you at all concerned that the hard plastic back will get scratched up?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] daewond3r:
That's the one. I rarely ever set my phone down on anything that could scratch the plastic. I had the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my S6 for months and it never got scratched. I think I'll be OK with this one.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Batfink33:
I like the look of the Ultra Hybrid, the only thing that puts me off is the full cut out of the camera visor area. I prefer the Ringke Fusion which covers a lot of the visor glass.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cougzzz:
Ordering these nillkin cases take months since it coming from china?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] daewond3r:
That's actually what drew me to it! Hah different strokes. I put a dBrand skin on the visor glass so it's better protected.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thegrants82:
Less than 10 days. That's like two weeks faster than anything dbrand ships.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] uknowme4me:
So I love the Cimo case. I got it today and am impressed. Super thin, very gripy, and shows off my Dbrand skin pretty well. I've tried Diztronic which is always my go to case, the Ringke Fusion smoke which is very nice but slippery, and this one. I really can believe how thin this case is.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cougzzz:
Did u get urs from amazon or eBay?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thegrants82:
Bought one from each. The amazon one beat eBay by 2 or 3 days. One negative about the eBay one was that it came signature required...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cougzzz:
Oh wow signature. That's weird. Just bought the eBay one BC it was a bit cheaper.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Raistlin1:
How grippy is the matte back of the cimo case? I am currently using the Spigen thin fit hard case and I like it but the phone slipped out of my jacket pocket at lowes today and the way it landed it pushed the corner of the case off enough to scratch the aluminum on that corner. I am not blaming the case as I knew very well that it isn't full coverage. Need a case to help with grip since I think phone is slippery when it's naked and I need the case to be minimal so I can still use it one handed.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] uknowme4me:
It's extremely grippy! While holding the phone I don't feel like I'm going to drop it or it slip out of my hand at all with this case and I'm a huge one handed user with this beast of the phone. I have a Dbrand skin on my device as well so the case fits just a tad bit tighter which should prevent the case from coming off the corner. While using my Ringke Fusion I always felt as if I would drop my phone because how slippery it was.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] peoples_flip01:
The Nillkin Nature (grey) case is skin and extremely grippy. Love this case!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thegrants82:
Yep. The nature is the best case for the 6p.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cougzzz:
Good to hear! Purchased mine a couple days back.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
I just wanted to say that I have been using this Cimo case for a good 3 or 4 days now. It is IDENTICAL to the Amzer Pudding case I've had since the beginning. The only difference is that the sides are nearly transparent as opposed to the same color and opacity all around ala the Amzer.

Thanks for sharing your pictures. It made my decision easier. It is not nearly as thin as the Nillkin but the lip over the bezels sit better and provide better coverage. The back just like the Amzer is a different grippier texture. I've always loves that in the Amzer and I'm glad I got the Cimo since I prefer it over the ALL black Amzer.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] crylentino:
Between the very few days that I've actually had the 6P (RMA's), I've tried on the Ultra Hybrid from Spigen (the clear one) and it's both pretty slim, grippy and it lets you see the awesome looking phone behind it. Recommended.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bradputt:
My transparent nature case has turned yellow, wonder if I buy the grey color one will out hide the discoloration better?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nocturnal86:
Im sure it will. I bought the grey one because of the fact that clear cases turn yellow

Imak Contracted Series - Hands down winner

Hands down, without a doubt the Imak cases (not their clear plastic one. - search for IMAK Contracted Series 6p). I owned one for my HTC One back in the day, and just recently got the charcoal/black one for my Nexus 6p after searching high and low in my email archive for what brand it was.

I've tried a variety of cases including the Huawei OEM clear case, and the Spigen. I've probably run through $80 on cases. The Spigen wasn't thin enough, and the Huawei was too slippery (and still thicker)

The Imak is a hardshell, but it's got a beautiful surface finish. Like a really fine, fine sandpaper feeling. Very non-slip (make me think of a hard anodized finish on aluminum). It's ultra thin (even more than the thin plastic crystal cases), is remarkably well-fitted. And, they were smart with the coverage: the top/bottom are mostly open i.e. no problems with headphones/chargers, and the hump is fully covered except for the camera, flash, and laser focus. The fingerprint sensor cut-out with the black version looks pretty badass. It's cut a little more than 4mm bigger than the sensor (that's a little over 5/32" for the those of you who like playing with fractions instead of a sensible base 10 system - just a little jab), so the silver sensor and phone back show through as silver concentric circles on the charcoal case. I could have done without the blatent white Imak company text on the back, but whatever.

As for protection, it wraps up the screen edge just enough to give a micro ledge of about 1mm to keep your screen off whatever surface it's non. I doubt this case is going to provide much protection in the way of jarring impacts given that it's a thin hardshell, but it will at least take the brunt of those drop, react, kick-it-across-the-room events.

Caveat - it took forever-3 weeks-to get to Canada since it was shipped from China. Absolutely worth the wait, though. My buddy took one look at it and hijacked my aliexpress account to buy one for his Galaxy S6.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] vgilbert:
Sorry. I don't have the minimum number of posts to post a link. Just google search for "Imak Contracted Nexus 6P aliexpress foison" and it should be the first link. It's $6.08. Although I'm sure any other seller is fine. That just happens to be the one I bought from.

i have the OEM Adopted Black case direct from Google. very slim, sleek, and tough. love it!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PaulQ602:
This was the first case I got since there really weren't any other available. Since trying other cases, I think the Adopted case is on the thicker side but, of course, that does lead to more protection. I have since found cases that are noticeably thinner.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gekko2:
it's a delicate balance.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] thegrants82:
Just get the bear motion off Amazon it's pretty much the same case. The iMak is nice but the Cut out for the fingerprint reader is huge. Almost twice the diameter than it needs to be. Bear Motion has the same texture and you can get it the next day from Amazon. like I said, they're almost identical except the bear motion is actually a better build quality.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] foolie:
Anyone else grabbed the CIMO case? I'd like to see more pictures of the entire phone with the case if possible, thanks!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] zer0se7en:
Wanna see it on a Graphite variant, like mine. From there I could decide if I should get one or not.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
Though I don't own the iMak, I believe the larger cut out is functionally a better design choice. ALL the cases I have come with a very tight wrap cut round the sensor. This increases the height and angle at which the finger has to make contact on the sensor, ergo increasing the likelihood of failed reads, even though by just a small bit. This was my experience anyway.

The wider cut out would allow the finger to make contact in the more natural flat position the fingerprints were originally recorded at and were probably designed for. Aesthetically, it does look worse than the smaller cut out but it wouldn't bother me.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
Just sharing the grey Cimo case and the black Amzer Pudding case. Sorry, pictures were taken in indoor night lighting using just my Z3.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] detonation:
Got the Smoke Grey Cimo case but I don't think I'll be using it. Not quite as tight fitting as the adopted case - it "creaks" on the sides if you squeeze it - and the buttons are even more mushy. And it's barely slimmer but so much more cheap feeling.

I wish Caudabe (or someone else) would make cases like this for more than just the iPhone. Had one on my mine and it was by far the best, slimmest, premium feeling case I've ever used:

Anyone considering the Spigen Ultra Hybrid... don't. It's nice in many ways, but it's too thick for my tastes. (As was the official Carbon case.)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] syntrix:
I'm really surprised there's no bumpers. The verus is thicker than the spigen that I have (rugged?). And the spigen is nice, but I think there's thinner out there, like this for a buck, just ordered one to try:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-7-Inch-Cr...Cover-for-Huawei-Google-Nexus-6P/151854759419

And I wish that some of those matte slim cases that are really thin would come out, or a nilliken/nikken(sp?) style.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] InfiniteReality:
Thanks! I ordered one as well to try. I like the design of this case plus the fact it's clear to show off the Nexus logo. If it fits good, I'll order a dozen more so as they get beat up I can easily replace it.
