[Nexus 6P Accessories] guitar1238751:
Hey guys last time I did a first impressions review so here's my full in depth review as promised. I did get this case for free by Poetic so that I could provide an honest review. Huge thanks to Poetic and [MENTION=5836896]TalonFangs[/MENTION] for this opportunity. I'll be doing the review based off a review up to 5 stars covering these: aesthetics,build quality/feel of case,coloring, durability, cutouts, and whatever else that comes to me lol.

Alrighty so first I'll talk about the aesthetics. I got to hand it to Poetic. The new revised version of the case looks awesome. The black borders match perfectly with the graphite body of the 6P. The revised version no longer has the "p" in the middle of the case nor the "affinity" written on the right side of the case. Everything looks simplistic now and showcases the gorgeous finish of the Nexus. It looks really clean. I definitely recommended this case for anyone who wants a clear case that showcases the phone.

The build quality of the case is great. The phone fits snugly into the case. The device doesn't move around and the case isn't so tight that its choking the phone. Its just right. The bumper lines on the case and the ridges on the sides help a lot with holding the phone. The 6P is a pretty big and very slippery phone, this case adds a lot of grip to the phone which I love. The case is very sturdy, not just some thin piece of plastic that just protects the back of the phone from scratches. Its a very durable case that adds lots of protection to the phone. I was sceptical at first when I got the case but after using it for a while I truly appreciate the added durability. Before I started using this case I was extremely nervous and cautious every time I lay the phone down because of the black glass visor on the back and then the glass screen on the front. The case covers the visor with an added bumper line and there is a slight bumper line around the front of the case so that of you place the phone screen side down then the screen is ever so slightly risen over the surface that you layed it down on. I've dropped the phone so many times (maybe 4-5ft high up,indoors,hardwood,tiles) and there has not been any damage thanks to the case. There are bumps on the 4 sides of the case that help a huge deal if the device falls. And the slight rise on the sides front make sure that that screen never touches the surface. This case has great build quality that provides solid protection yet its still lightweight. The case barely adds any bulk to the phone. Props to Poetic for that. Another huge props to Poetic. It looks as though they have fixed the yellowing issue. In the original case, the case started to yellow significantly after a few weeks. Now in the revised version it has not yellowed at all after intense daily use for a few weeks.*So far, after all this intense use, there are barely any noticeable scratches on the case. (Original case was full of scratches after a few weeks)

The cutouts are excellent. They are percise. There is a cutcut for the camera, Imprint (fingerptint sensor), proximity sensors, volume rockers, power/sleep button, and of course the type C usb file transfer/charging port. I am able to plug the cable in and out with ease. My finger is always resting on Imprint and this case doesn't hinder the scanner in anyway. Every single cutout is perfect. Huge props to Poetic for this.*

One feature I do wish was on the case is some way to distinguish between the volume rockers and power key. Without a case the power button has a rough, ridged texture too it that helps us to differentiate it from the smooth volume keys. On the case though both the volume rockers and power key is smooth. I've pressed power by accident so many times, especially at night. It would be great that Poetic adds this feature to the case. Its not a huge deal for me personally since I use MX and VLC Player to stream media. Both apps have on screen gestures to control volume. But it does get in the way when I'm watching downloaded videos on YouTube (Youtube Red) or any other app which doesn't have on screen gestures.

One issue that I've noticed is that the power button on the case is very tight. It takes more pressure now to press the power button. Another major issue is that the volume buttons on the case have damaged the volume rockers on the device. The volume up button is now bent in where the case was constantly pressing down.

Overall this is one solid case. Definetly gets points for durability, build quality, cutouts,etc. The only thing I really don't like about the case is the issue with the power & volume rockers. I barely put a lot of pressure on the volume rockers so I'm not sure what about the case caused the damage. What noticed on a daily basis was the awesome grip added to the phone. It made it a lot easier to hold the phone and the case has come through for me every time that I've drooped it so far. Obviously this isn't a Otterbox replacement or anything. I haven't dropped it outside on concrete/pavement yet and I'm not about to do so now. This case isn't for hard core durability. Instead its a nice lightweight case that offers enough protection for your average every day causal use like scratches, accidental drops (nothing crazy), grip,etc.

I give this case 4 stars out of a possible 5. I definitely recommended this case for anyone who wants solid protection for your 6P without sacrificing size,weight,etc. And to top it all you are getting a great case for a very low price. Hopefully I'm able to get my point across to all of you guys. I'm not a pro reviewer or anything. I'm just a guy who's giving an honest review for a product that I have been using as my daily driver since it arrived in the mail. I just want you guys to get an idea of what to expect after purchasing this case and some suggestions for Poetic for future products. I'm very clumsy and rough with my phone. The fact that this case did so good is great. I will be trying out other cases (possibly Poetic Revolution, i-Blason, Spigen, etc) until I find the ultimate hardcore protection for the 6P. This is a great case but I'm more of a heavy duty protection kind of guy (even if it does make the phone bulky lol). I got to admit though. I've been using heavy duty cases for ages now and it's been a releif to use such a lightweight case that offers such protection and grip. Huge props to Poetic for this awesome case and [MENTION=5836896]TalonFangs[/MENTION] for this opportunity to test out and review this case for all of you. Thanks. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask me any questions that you have about the case. ?
