How similar is this to a silicone soft rubber case? I'm on the hunt but haven't found one yet. Tried the J&D case off Amazon and it your typical TPU, slick but very slim! However I need something that sticks to your hand.

I want to know more about this case

Just bought a thin matte clear case. Recently got one for my Note5 (getting rid of it and getting the 6P) and it is incredibly thin - it's like there is no case on the phone at all. I'm hoping this one will be similarly thin - will post impression when I get it.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
This looks great. An uber thin matte case with transparency. Only problem I'm seeing is that the upper and lower bezels are gonna be exposed to scratches from in the pocket or light knocks or any friction of any kind.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] c_86:
Exactly. It's a hard snap on case. To bad. I would buy It is it was more rubbery and covered everything.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] placeks:
Nitemare

Know this is not the place bubd did You shared anywhere maybe resons and impressions after switch to 6p?

I'm really interested in "real" comparisions.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nitemare3219:
I missed that part... thought the top and bottom were covered, didn't look that closely. I imagine the corners protrude far enough to protect the top/bottom bezels from flat surfaces, but they are still exposed to anything else that touches them. I was hoping it would be like this Note 5 case: http://www.ebay.com/itm/30172543338...49&var=600557525685&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

That case covers the edges/sides of the phone 100%. It is very thin, matte plastic. It keeps the fit and feel of the phone exactly - never felt a case this thin in my life. It won't offer any impact protection, but it should certainly prevent the phone from getting mangled up if it ever gets dropped and prevent any scratches from day-to-day use.

I am hoping the case I ordered on Aliexpress (clear gel TPU - make sure you get the color you want - the product images also look like the laser autofocus is covered, so that may be an issue) is just as thin, or perhaps this one on eBay which are both TPU:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/272027829890?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

As far as a rubbery TPU case, the Cimo might be your best bet, or the two I just linked above if they turn out to be any good. Only thing is that TPU gel cases typically are more thick than very thin plastic.

My 6P doesn't actually get here until tomorrow. This is the second time I've had the Note5 - first time I used it for about a month, then got the LG V10, then went back to the Note5 (got the silver international model now, because that was the color I really wanted). It's been a good phone, but it's also a bit of a headache with the international version. I had to flash a specific ROM to get T-Mobile features to work but also be sure to use an international kernel. But reception is a little bit worse than a T-Mobile Note5 (my girlfriend has one). I've never been a fan of Samsung's UI. The only reason I got the Note5 is because of AMOLED, and it is a hardware powerhouse. Sad thing is, I didn't even consider the Nexus 6P when I bought this Note5 because I forgot about it. I typically get phones with Jump On Demand and the 6P was never available through that. I only bought this Note5 off-contract because I wanted the silver color, but I should have just got the 6P instead.

I miss how easy a Nexus device is to play with (ROM/customization wise). My Nexus 5 is still incredibly smooth, so I'm pretty excited to get that back as well. My biggest fears with the 6P were the display quality and camera, but by the looks of it the 6P is no slouch. I'm also pumped for this fingerprint scanner - should be much better than the Note5.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jonrodz:
I like the amzer one. Does it feel good on the hand? How much would you give to it from 1 to 10?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
Both the Amzer and the Cimo are identical. Feel in hand is the same and excellent. For feel in hand, it is an 8 out of 10. If it were just a hair thinner, it would take a 10 and if it had a less murky grey color, it would be a 10. I'm currently on holiday with the Cimo and I'm absolutely glad I took the Cimo. The Cimo's advantage over the Amzer is two cosmetic things. The Cimo has no branding anywhere AND it has those transparent sides to exhibit the phones shiny chamfers.

But the Amzer is always a nice switch. More smart, more tidy looking. Giving the entire device a full black look.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] jonrodz:
Thanks, bro! :D But I'll go with the amzer cause I don't like transparent cases much, and I like black. And about the branding being on the back, I don't mind that. I'll buy this one and the spigen rugged armour. :)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Got the Cimo smoked matte case and the Spigen Thin Fit in gunmetal. I really like them both.

The Cimo is interesting with its transparent sides, but then the matte back. The matte back will prevent it from looking too dirty (fingerprints especially), and the smoked color should also help with the dirt resilience as well. The two cases have a very similar in-hand feel - neither is thicker, wider, etc. than the other, but the Cimo fully covers the top and bottom of the device for better protection. The button press on the Cimo is a little on the mushy side - not the worst I've ever felt, but certainly not the best. Cimo also protects more of the rear glass, but the cutout looks a little off because the decorative camera ring that is around the lens is a little covered up at the bottom. Doesn't affect performance or anything, just looks "off" if you look at it. The Cimo is a tight fit, which is good.

The Spigen is as I had hoped, surprisingly grippy - it feels like a TPU case rather than a plain plastic one. The bottom edge cutout for the USB port is not "sharp" like reviews complain about, but it will dig into your finger pretty good after holding the phone the exact same way for extended periods of time - the more vertical the phone, the quicker it gets uncomfortable. It's not a deal breaker, but it is something to note if you think this would annoy you easily. Other than that, I have no complaints. It looks great and feels great.

I have no idea which case I like more. Neither are super slim, but they are definitely some of the lowest profile cases that would still offer a degree of impact protection (Cimo definitely protects more). I like the Cimo because I can see the design of the phone, but the Spigen just looks more minimalistic (even though it really isn't). I might go back and forth between the two, but will probably certainly use the Cimo in the gym and other potentially hazardous areas rather than the Spigen.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] slosrtnick:
Has anybody looked into the Bare Motion ultra slim PC case for our phones? I used to have one for my old Moto X 2nd Gen and loved how it was a grippy, gritty finish. It had a very nice feel to it. I'm thinking of buying one on amazon here in a few days.

Definitely one of the slimmest cases i've come across.

I just order the grey one last night, but seen as I don't live in the states i will be getting it in a week and a half. If no one will review it by then I can take some pictures of it if anyone will be interested.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] dave2metz:
I used to have this case for my Nexus 6. It's a nice case and great quality, but the feel of the case is like sandpaper. I'm exaggeration slightly, but it definitely has a sand type of finish.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
I went ahead and ordered one as well. Got tired of the Huawei case and have been looking for something more unique. I'll post back my opinion when receiving it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] c_86:
Ugh. Hard case. Was hoping it was softer. Don't like those hard snap on cases. Don't protect the bottom or top.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nitemare3219:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/17205235619...49&var=470909897131&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

This case is roughly the same thinness as the Spigen Thin Fit. The Spigen protects the top and bottom a little better because there is a lip on it, whereas this eBay case has no lip. I like the way they handled button cutouts though by not placing a divider between power and volume - gives you more room to fit your thumb, and just feels better. Definitely not the slimmest case I've ever had, but it's about as thin as I can find right now. The cutout for the scanner is pretty big, which feels better to me as well. Do notice the mark at the scanner cutout at the 7 o'clock position (visible on all the cases) - it is certainly there. Must be some manufacturing error.

The CIMO is surprisingly thin for being a TPU gel case. It feels bigger because it protects the top and bottom all the way around, but the actual profile of it in your hand feels about the same as the two aforementioned cases. Still have two more eBay gel TPU cases (clear) coming. Maybe they'll be thinner, maybe not.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nitemare3219:
Got mine today. Again, about the same profile as the Spigen and the eBay case I linked. This might be my new favorite case... I've never felt a case like this before in my life. It's thin, it's grippy, and it looks pretty good. Plus the buttons are entirely open (no lip on the front glass, nor separation) which makes them feel and function fantastic.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheDave1022:
I don't own the Spigen, but I read a lot of people complaining about the sharp corner digging into your finger. Does this case have that same issue?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Nitemare3219:
As far as I can tell, it does not. The USB C cutout is smaller and practically flush with the edge of the phone.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] 8en:
using the fosmom cheap case http://www.amazon.com/dp/B017Y3VLVM/ref=twister_B017Y3VLOO?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

very slim, grippy and cheap. works well for me
[Nexus 6P Accessories] akarol:
I had the sharp edges issue with the Huawei case. This Bear Motion case does NOT have this problem. It is very comfortable. The case is great and very grippy. I'm loving it!
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Jhonys:
Can you share some pictures of the case please?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] doublen1:
I went with a TPU Cruzerlite case. Slim and just enough protection for my liking. Plus a cool Android design on the back. :) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01612AQPO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00
[Nexus 6P Accessories] smachine:
Sad to report that my spigen thin fit case and yoozon tempered glass protector couldnt protect my phone from a drop. I have never dropped a phone or shattered a glass and have always gone case less on most phones. Got a case on this one because it was too slippery and I heard stories how easily it bends and scratches. Was on vacation and my wife accidentally dropped the phone and it fell and hit the bottom right corner and shattered the screen.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] PianistOne111:
Pics would be appreciated.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] willi9070:
cant say about the slimmest case you might need simply a skin or clear tpo case. but the best overall case in my opinion would be spigen rugged armor, I've tried many including spigen's neo hybrid but rugged armor is a perfect balance between ergonomics, feel, slimness and protection. industrial design is superb, carbon fiber looks elegant and classy.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gorgtech:
These super slim cases don't offer a serious protection at all. They only provide some scratch protection and maybe a better grip. If you need at least medium protection, have a look at cases like eg a Poetic Affinity or Spigen Rugged Armor. These cases don't really add much bulk. For serious protection you will also need a lot of bulk which is the case with eg a Poetic Revolution or similar tough cases.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] galaxys:
Or Speck Candy Shell offers great protection and grip...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] David522d:
Nature cases on eBay

$5.

The slimest.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sn0warmy:
Just got my 6P on Monday and my Spigen slim-fit case arrived yesterday. Very happy with it. Minimal added bulk with A LOT of added grip. My only gripe is the open top/bottom of the phone. However, the back lip on both the top and bottom help provide some protection in those areas.

I have the Cimo case coming next week. I'll see how I like that one, once it arrives.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/17143683081...49&var=470875426201&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I have been using this thin case for the last two weeks and it's been great.

It's 0.3mm, 50% the thickness of the nature case, which is 0.6mm. It also doesn't have the annoying USB port flap.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] c_86:
I have a similar one. Too bad it's a finger print magnet.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] woshiweili:
I don't know what kind of material yours is made out of but mine doesn't show any finger prints.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] David522d:
Can I bother you for some pictures?

And does it cover the bottom of the phone?

I'd appreciate it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] David522d:
Anddddd

Can anyone recommend a hard matte thin case that covers the front and bottom?

I don't get why so many cases for this phone leave those sides wide open.

Blows my minddddd

Have you tried a hard matte case yet? I tried one and it was almost impossible to get it off the phone. I was so afraid I'd scratch it when I removed it but fortunately I didn't.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cliff p:
Love love LOVE my spigen ultra hybrid. Got it yesterday, along with their 9h slim glas protector. VERY satisfied, as usual. Matter of fact, this case IMO is better than any previous spigen case I have owned. It feels wonderful and doesn't detract from the natural beauty of Nexus :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sn0warmy:
Just replaced my Spigen Thin Fit case with the Cimo Wave (flat black) case. LINK

I'm VERY happy with the Cimo case. It's the thinnest TPU case I've ever used. The added bulk is negligible when compared with the Spigen Thin Fit. But, unlike the Spigen case, the Cimo one protects the top and bottom of the phone. It also covers majority of the back glass. I feel much better about using the Cimo case on a daily basis.

The one downside is that the Spigen Thin Fit's hard case design provide's extra rigidity to the phone, which I believe would help prevent the notorious bending just the volume rocker. The Cimo's TPU is obviously not nearly as rigid. So while it will provide better drop/scratch protection, I'm not sure it will help with the potential bending of the phone.

Time will tell, I suppose.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] benjo:
Can you get some pictures uploaded? I'm also using the Spigen Thin Fit and I'm considering a TPU case.

Thanks
[Nexus 6P Accessories] sn0warmy:
I tried to get some detailed pictures to show you the similarities in size and the difference in the cases. As you can see, the Spigen Thin Fit case is actually just as thick (front to back) as the CIMO TPU case is. Additionally, as far as width goes, they are just about the exact same. So in hand feel is pretty much the same with both of them. They are both grippy. The lip on the Cimo case is ever-so-slightly taller than the Spigen case but less pronounced than any other TPU case I've used on previous phones (including Diztronic and Amzer).

The real upside to the TPU case is the extra protection on the top/bottom, over the back glass and over the buttons. The upside to the Spigen case is that the case is hard so it acts as a make-shift exo-skeleton to the phone, which will make bending the phone, much more difficult.

The buttons on the Cimo case are covered, which makes pressing them slightly more mushy. But the case itself is rigid enough that it doesn't allow much movement of the case lip when you push the buttons.

I like both cases but the lack of protection on the top/bottom of the phone just left me feeling overly cautious with the phone. With the Cimo TPU case I feel much more confident in case the phone were to hit a counter edge or get dropped. Better peace of mind for me.

Neither case interferes with my Intelli Armor full coverage tempered glass screen protector.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] benjo:
Thanks for the comparison! I've had a look around for the case but it doesn't look like it's available in the UK at the moment.

I've got the Diztronic being delivered soon so I'll see how I get on with that
[Nexus 6P Accessories] smachine:
Here are some pics of the damage. I didn't get a protection plan but luckily filed a claim with AMEX as they have 90 day accidental damage coverage. Bought a new 6P already but I have decided to stick with a Toast wood cover +tempered glass for added grip and scratch protection. I have always gone caseless and the 1 time I used a case it didn't even help.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] c_86:
You can't blame the case for this. That case is junk and not meant to protect against drops. Its designed to protect against scratches. Nothing more.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
This is the 'case' with all those open top bottom cases. They don't provide any scratch OR bump protection there.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

I have the Cimo case and I'm in the UK too. Besides, you can get the Amzer Pudding case, which is IDENTICAL to the Cimo.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED_:
Is there a clear case similar to the Nilkin nature that doesn't have a cover for the USB port. That seems very annoying. I'm looking to get a thinner case. I've got a Spigen something or other, but it's going yellow. The headphone jack cover is a bit annoying as well. The case does add a bit of annoying bulk as well.

Preferably something that is easy to get delivered to the UK.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pdubcramp:
For anyone considering the Bear Motion case, do not try to put it on if you have a dbrand skin unless you plan on never taking it off. Seems obvious with a hard shell case, but worth stating that you'll risk damaging your phone trying to remove the case.

And yes, I do feel dumb for trying it. ;)
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Gorgtech:
Ouch, that looks nasty. In order to protect a phone from corner drops like these, you need a bulkier case ( eg. Poetic Affinity, Spigen Rugged Armor or similar ). If you really feel clumsy like me, use a even tougher case ( eg. Poetic Revolution or similar case which is made like an Otterbox ).

These thin cases don´t offer any kind of drop protection at all. They can enhance the grip and prevent some scratches.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
This is the only alternative that I could find in the UK. It's actually rather good but I need more bump protection and grip enhancement, so I always default to the Amzer Pudding and Cimo for minor added bulk and the matte back.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] RED_:
Cheers, only thing holding me back on the Cimo is the pattern on it, I would prefer a simple thin clear case to show off the Frost 6P I have behind it. Also something super thin because I hate big cases, but yeah I would lose protection.

Might go for this posted on the page back: http://www.ebay.com/itm/17143683081...49&var=470875426201&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

Super thin, but takes a month to ship...
[Nexus 6P Accessories] subhani:
The KWMobile I linked above is as thin as the Nillkin. I haven't found anything thinner really.

I got a Nexus 6p case, KuGi ® High quality ultra-thin PC Hard Case Cover for Google / Huawei Nexus 6p 2015 smartphone yesterday. It's pretty nice. A little slippery but I like that it covers the camera glass whereas the Spigen case does not. I also tried the Bear Motion case but it was WAY too grippy for me. Nice case but I could barely get the phone in and out of my pocket.

[Nexus 6P Accessories] asianrage:
I have this one in Mint. It provides an overall snug fitment. If anyone had a Rearth Slim on their HTC ONE M8, it's the same style. It's non-bulky and as slim as could be. The four sides of the phone are covered, minus the opening for the charging port and headphone jack. The finish is very smooth, yet non-slippery, and grip-able, without any sharp edges to count. I don't know if the gray and black version will be the same, because they have a different coating. I would love to get this in white.

I have the IMAK Cowboy case with is similar to the Bear Motion, but with button cutouts like that Centra one. I find them pretty easy to use and help quite a bit in accidental presses and camera launches.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] TheDave1022:
Just got this case. It feels pretty cheap, but it is what i wanted. Something clear (so can see the nexus logo on the back) and thin. I don't drop my phone, so I dont need a big case (and I have nexus protect in case). It's easy to take off and put on, so I just wonder how long it will last. Cant complain for the price. The buttons on the side are a little bit harder to push now, but overall i'm happy with it.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] DroidDogg:
I got the Nillkin Nature case I love the feel but absolutely hate the flap and cut it off. I don't recommend this case unless you like the look of a cut area in your case. I ordered a TPU without the horrid flap off Ebay
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bradputt:
I don't understand why many ppl hate that flap. I must be the only one who likes it.

I do not have long fingernails and I don't find it difficult to open the flap before charging. It's not that tight anyway.

And it does a good job in keeping gunk out of the port.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] asianrage:
I don't love it, but I didn't mind it at all. The case fits well, if not as snug as I wanted it to be. FWIW, the smoke version is the best of both option.
