[Nexus 6P Accessories] enaybee:
Disclaimer: This case was provided by Poetic for free in exchange for an honest review. So here is my take:

First thing first, this case is big, bulky and heavy duty. It’s a “TANK”. It’s rugged and so well made that you feel like dropping your phone + case on purpose just for fun. It gives you that confidence that nothing is going to happen to your phone. I, however, didn't try. At some level I feel that Revolution series is going after Otterbox cases that are known for their ruggedness.

Before we talk about other things, let’s take a look at how the case looks like and how it’s built.

Look and feel:

Case I received is made of Black Plastic and Brown TPU bits. This case is constructed in two parts where the frame that holds the phone inside is made out of plastic. This plastic frame also has a built in screen protector. If you don’t already have one installed on your phone this does the job just fine. Once you have inserted the phone inside the plastic frame, you can take this sub-assembly and insert it into the main cover which is constructed out of plastic and TPU material. Putting together the two pieces really takes some effort. However once done right, the fit and finish is good and tight. So no dust or lint is getting in there.

Cutouts and Ports:

On the front it has usual cut outs for speakers, camera and sensors and they all line up perfectly. Right side has buttons which, unfortunately, are flushed so you really have to feel them, find the right one and push it to make it work. I really wish Poetic had made these buttons slightly raised from the main body. However since buttons are slightly textured, they are easy to find and operate. Ports for headphone jack and USB are perfectly aligned as well as covered with flaps (for dust protection), which is a good addition for a case like this. On the back side, cut outs for camera assembly (complete with laser and flash) and a round cutout for finger print sensor that is large enough for easy access while holding the phone in hand.

Specialties:

Two things that are special about this case are:

It has a built in carabiner loop on one end. I am sure the design intent of this loop is to put a lanyard in it but I don’t really see people walking around while wearing this phone around their necks. However, I found this feature to be extremely useful when disassembling the case. You can push down on the loop to start separating the two pieces apart which are really tight fit when assembled correctly.

Party piece of this case is the kickstand on the back. This is one of the most rugged and rigid kickstands I have ever seen on a phone case. I think its made out of aluminum (not sure though) and is very easy to open and close. It closes with tight snap giving a quality sound and feel. A perfect companion for a phone like Nexus 6P, that has a large screen for media consumption. Having this kickstand means hands free Netflix or youtube which is awesome. I wish more case manufacturers start putting kickstands on their cases.

Closing thoughts:

This case is rugged and strong enough to withstand day to day abuse and beyond. It adds weight and size to a already big phone so it’s not easy to carry it around in your pocket unless you wear a really baggy jeans or trousers. I personally would rather use this case when I am outdoors biking, trailing or hiking.

Since I already have a TGSP on my phone, I ended up removing the plastic shield that comes preassembled with this case. Having a screen protector in combination with this plastic shield makes the phone almost impossible to operate due to screen not registering touch input.

It’s currently available on Amazon for $16.95 which I think is an excellent deal. I would definitely recommend this to people who do a lot of activities outdoors. However if you are not one of them but still looking for something like otterbox but with a kickstand and a carabiner loop then this case is a perfect choice.
