[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Ok, all the way back on PAGE 3, I mentioned that I'd purchased one of these; https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B09G1JW7TV

... then somebody freaked out that it was putting "metal on the glass" :ROFLMAO:

Ok, so now that I've had the actual P6P for a day with the case on, I'm in a better position to actually talk about it.

First of all, the metal on the case does NOT at ANY point come into contact with ANY PART of the phone. I can actually see the line made between the phone's glass screen and aluminum frame the entire way around the screen, so this... silly concern... is silly. No issues here.

There are 4 main parts;

1) Back aluminum,

2) Middle rubber (ad says silicon, feels like tire rubber, probably synthetic, definitely NOT crappy TPU!!!)

3) USB-C dust cover,

4) Front aluminum.

The USB-C dust cover can be removed or attached while the case is disassembled without any cutting.

Take the thing apart, stick the phone into the "middle rubber" part, set that whole thing down on the "back aluminum", then place the "front aluminum" over the top and connect with 6 allen-head machine screws. It came with a plastic handled screwdriver and a standard angled allen key, and 5 spare machine screws.

The main/only functional challenge here is that it is quite a production to put the phone in and out of the case, and you can't access the sim card slot without taking the phone out of the case.

When its all put together, its pretty heavy and feels very solid. If it came down to it, it would make a pretty decent weapon.

Size wise, I think it adds about 1/4 inch all the way around the sides of the phone. This is especially nice since for whatever reason, they've really minimized the borders around the screen and left you with not a whole lot to hold on to without triggering the touch screen. On the front, the aluminum frame extends about 1/16" above the screen across the top and bottom edges, but is about 1/32" lower than the screen along the sides. I would have preferred if it extended above the screen uniformly all the way around, which would do a much better job protecting it if you set it face down on a corner or non-uniformly-flat surface, but at least on a flat surface, it will hold the screen up a reasonable amount.

On the back, the aluminum extends about 1/32 higher than the glass on the camera block. In addition to that, there is a rubber buffer between the aluminum back and the camera block that extends above both, which is level with the rubber in the main cutout for wireless charging. The result is that the "back" is actually flat, the camera block won't touch a flat table, and it stands on rubber. Its actually quite nice.

Around the entire case, the rubber sticks out about 1/16 past the aluminum, so if it lands on the edge, it will mostly hit rubber.

So despite a couple of minor issues (difficult [dis]assembly process and the height of the aluminum along the sides of the screen), I'd call this case a winner.

As of now, I'm using the Poetic case. I like it so far. Without the case, I always felt like as if it'll just slip out from my hand. But now it feels good.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
The darker brown tends to age well, but this one is a bit lighter. We'll see. It's just that I change cases weekly and probably won't have time to age. lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sgvjon:
Oh I'm not a fan of the lighter leather colors... Like the dark brown/aged look.

Hahahah I know what you mean, I had the Rugged Armor on yesterday and today I have the Liquid Air on.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
Wow... you prepared like I did with the cases. I ordered a couple of Spigens ten days before the phone arrived. Now they're super backordered everywhere. I'm not sure if Spigen and others produced smaller orders due to the low demand of the Pixel 5 or our just that the popularity of the 6/6 Pro is that substantial. Maybe a little bit of both.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sgvjon:
I had no idea it would be backordered like this, but I always buy my cases ahead of time.. 🤣

Side question, do you use a backup email? My ocd self wants to clear the Security section in Settings and I've never used a backup email.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] :
I do and yet to have an instance where it was used. Guess that's a good thing. Also use a couple of security keys.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] joelfreak:
Does anyone know of any holster cases that are actually in stock right now other than the Otterbox, or is that it? I just got my shipping alert, so I am looking for something I can get my hands on quickly. I usually have Supcases on all my phones, as I love them, but they say their case is "coming soon", so that wont work for now. Verizon is out of stock online on the Otterbox, so it looks like full price via TMobile is the only choice I can see if I want it fast. Any other holster cases people have seen in stock on Amazon or in stores? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sgvjon:
Ahhh ok. Thinking about making a new email for the backup option.. and I might as well use the keys I got for it
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Cares:
Currently using Spigen Liquid Air while I'm waiting for my Bellroy Terracotta to come.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] somethingsomethingroot:
I was hoping for Supcase UB Pro, but the only have one for the 6 and not the Pro. Bought a Poetic Revolution, but it's coming days after the phone.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sidhaarthm:
I have the Vault from Caseology - works perfectly on my P6P and feels grippy. Does not interfere with the TPU type screen protector either. It is slightly bulky though but I know it offers great all around protection.

I also have the Kevlar case on order from a brand called Later - ships in December. That one is much thinner, stronger and lighter. I noticed it on YouTube in Unboxing Therapy's video where Lou was promoting it with the P6 Pro.

The top one definitely looked a lot better in the pictures than in real life. But, it happens. Not too worried for $7. The bottom one, I thought for sure it would be a generic, kind of crappy case, but, it's actually fairly nice. It's a tad slippery though and the only screen coverage is on the top and bottom of the phone.

The ones I ordered should be here next week. I'll report back on those. I'm pretty excited about the Caseology one. Looks pretty cool.

No offense, mate, but that looks hideous.

But, considering that our available P6 Pro colors are dull, strange and sad, that's still an improvement.

So, nice one.

Anyone in UK able to get just a standard clear case? Everything on Amazon is like delivering in November/December or something stupid..
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Batfink33:
I managed to get a Ringke Fusion clear case but it seems to be OOS now. I'm trying to get a smokey clear case also but can't. There seems to be a real lack of accessories for the P6P so far. I wish someone would make a UV Glue TGSP too but noone seems to be.

www.ebay.co.uk

im using this as it feels nicer. I know it will go yellow at some point but for now its fine.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
Funny, I was about to ask if clear cases still go yellow. I remember that back in the days (Pixel 3 times I think) I burned through two clear cases and then switched over to a glass-back case, even though that became a nightmare after a while because that case was super slippery once that glass was riddled with fingerprints.

So it still turns yellow, yikes. I kinda miss my old Pixel cloth cases, even though they never fit very well and didn't offer much drop protection - and they got greasy over time. But damn did the feel awesome.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] elsdon:
Ah damn that OOS as well for the 6P.. How long did it take to arrive?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
Think it depends on the type of plastic used but for £2.95 until other cases are around its fine. I do have the Ringke fusion clear case too which is a harder plastic but this one feels better to me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] skimminstones:
2 days if i remember. I ordered 4 or 5 different cases after ordering the phone and they arrived a few days later
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JasW:
Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear, which happily arrived today just 24 hours after the phone. I'm not a phone dropper by nature, but the Ultra Hybrid earned my undying devotion after I dropped my old Pixel 4XL not once, but twice, on concrete and then tile, and was none the worse for the wear.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ultimoose:
+1 Ringke Fusion. I've had the same one on my Pixel 2XL for the last 4 years and it's still going strong with just some very minor scuff marks on the back. And I've not treated it nicely. It's been sweated on for almost 8,000 miles of road and trail running in that 4 years, dropped repeatedly on every possible surface type and done a few OCR's where it ended up covered in mud.

My gym membership card still reads 100% of the time from where it sits between the phone and the back of the case.

For the $8 or $9 I paid for it, well I've gotten my money's worth to say the least. I just hope the quality of the current crop hasn't gone significantly downhill.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
Got my Otterbox Symmetry and it feels lot heavier then I thought. Not sure 100% but maybe more then DBrand Grip

Looks like the Matte Ringke fusion is back in stock on the Ringke website. Not on Amazon yet. Just ordered one.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] entropism:
The Matte has a small but annoying issue. The top is clear (where the secondary color is) and gives that oil slick look across the entire top. It'll be great if you use a Dbrand skin or something, but it's pretty ugly right now
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gwstmar:
Now you tell me 🤣

I'll be getting the Mous Limitless 3.0. I had the walnut one on my S20+ and it was so nice. I've also got the car mount
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] DarkCenobyte:
I use an official Google case for now, and I'm not very happy with it. Better than nothing but you can feel the P6 Pro moving inside sometimes... And the case feel a bit slippery (but still less than without a case)

I would be afraid to hold my phone with gloves in the winter. The case seems very slippery on some materials.

I will receive today the Caseology Parallax case, it look nice.

Also I read that the Bellroy leather cases are great too, maybe I will change later for it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tbalden:
Kwmobile fabric case I got recently. A few snaps of it attached. It's nice, the fabric is real cloth, kinda precise seams and cut. It's light but not a drop tested one obviously. I like the colors of it. It gives the basic protection. The highest lip point is really just half a millimeter over the screen, so the screen doesn't touch surface when face down, but this is only mild protection when dropped.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] sitnaing:
Currently rocking on Google case. Awaiting pre-order for Dbrand icon triple black grip case.

Also ordered ESR metal rings for magsafe accessories.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Would you mind sharing what options you were given for customizing? Or was it just a matter of "Would you please monogram these with our initials to make it obvious which is which," and they said sure, here's how much more it will cost. :D Matter of fact, besides something to make my wife's and mine stand out, I'd probably be interested in having a magnetic clasp instead of an actual clicky one for the ones we'd consider.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] gwstmar:
Ash Gray Caseology Parallax. Phone just arrived.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] dwss:
We customize the edge of it with our initials and a crest we liked. When we email the company they were very helpful. And there was no extra charge.

The cases arrive tomorrow and I will upload a picture.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks! My wife especially is interested to see the results.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
Now I've seen the Caseology Parallax that looks nice. I wonder if I should get it too. How many cases is too many?! 😁
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] tbalden:
I've stopped at 4 cases. One Caseology, one Spigen thin and two kwmobile fabric (green and blue).

I'll wait a few months and see what other options pop up, maybe a fifth will still fit hahaha
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
I'm thinking of returning the Spigen Ultra Hybrid and getting the Caseology instead. I'm afraid the transparent back on the Spigen will scratch easily.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] entropism:
I got the ash and the sage green, currently using the sage. NOT a fan of the Ringke fusion matte since the top looks like an oil slick. Going to either pick up the Tech21 Evo Check (wish it wasn't limited to "smoke" which is damn near black) or the Google case. Maybe both. Who knows?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Ghisy:
What do you think of them? Only the black with gold accents is available here.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] johninsf:
The smoke colored Google case showed up yesterday. It looks far better on the phone because the translucence makes the overall appearance grayer than smoky against the P6P stormy. This case is thinnish, rigid and fits well.

My challenge: It's really strange that with the case on, the phone feels unreasonably wide and heavier.

The phone's width and weight without a case seems to be exactly at the limit for what my medium-sized hand is comfortable holding.

I am considering going with a skin for the first time. I know this offers zero protection. However, the phone feels too large (for me) with this case on it. I can always pop the phone in the case if I'm traveling or plan to be out and about for an extended period.

Does anyone know of any chains, or places in San Francisco bay area, that would apply a skin? I'm awful at this.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] entropism:
It's fine. I appreciate that they got rid of the hard plastic frame that was on previous parallax models. I dropped my S21 in one and the frame cracked, fortunately the phone was fine. Unfortunately it meant I needed to buy a new case.

This phone is a conundrum for me. I don't mind the height or the weight, but it's just too wide for me. Maybe I'll get used to it but I was enjoying the feel of the S21 and Flip3 before this. My OnePlus 9 Pro (same height, thinner width) is MUCH easier to hold and feels better in the hand.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Celeras:
Little disappointed to see that the official case doesn't smooth out the camera bump (though not really surprised considering it is their design choice after all). But I imagine this will be a popular request, so figured I'd get the ball rolling with a thread. Post your finds!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
You can't "smooth" it out without increasing the overall bulk of a case.

What's the point?

At the same time the cam needs at least a slightly raised guard for proper protection.

I blew off the N20U because of this in favor of another N10+, to avoid Android 11 and other known issues.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Atmazzz:
I've been looking since I ordered. The Spigen Tough Armor comes the closest I've seen, so far, to having a flat back.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Celeras:
Good find, looks pretty close if you go on their main website (extra picture that Amazon doesnt have): https://www.spigen.com/collections/...6-pro-case-tough-armor?variant=40023033937967

Much more expensive, but you get a 30W charger for free until Oct 31. Not really a deal since Amazon is ~$20 less, but almost break-even with the charger.

Many reasons. For example. laying the device flat is important for some existing wireless charging mats. And if you own a Tesla that has something like that built in, it's not as easy as just getting a new one (might not be an issue with that specific example but we wont know until we get it).
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Atmazzz:
I decided to order this one. I like the look of the gunmetal. It won't arrive until after my phone though.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] jmartin72:
Yeah that case looks the best.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Celeras:
Found a YouTube review of those Spigen cases. Looks like it is indeed 100% flat, the camera cutout actually ends up being slightly concave:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] anuraj1:
This DBrand case looks like it completely hides the bump: https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/google-pixel-6-pro-cases
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
And their website is a hoot, too! They're very convincing with their light-hearted commentary on their products. Tempting; we'll see, I usually go with Otterbox Defender. Thanks!

In the meantime, I ordered two, one for myself and one for my wife, for now (able to return until 1/31/2021):

Myself - Spigen Tough Armor Designed for Google Pixel 6 Pro Case (2021) - Gunmetal

Wife - Spigen Slim Armor CS Designed for Google Pixel 6 Pro Case (2021) - Rose Gold

Also 2x Magglass Tempered Glass Designed for Google Pixel 6 Pro Screen Protector (2021) UHD Full Coverage Display Guard (Case Compatible)

We've both had Otterbox Defender on our phones starting with the Pixel 1 / Pixel XL 1, so I also signed up to be notified when each of these are in stock (I assume they're gauging how much interest there is): Otterbox Pixel 6 Pro Defender / Defender Pro

I'd probably buy the blue Defender, not the Pro, although I'd likely wait until I can get it on sale.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ynnek63:
This is the one I ordered mainly for the kickstand though. I have one on my Pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
They have a good impact protection rating. Same composite design as the Zizo Bolt case with the polycarbonate retaining shell. This design can usually take a wicked multiple impact 2-4 foot drop onto concrete with zero damage and not coming apart.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Speed_419:
I've been looking for something similar to the OnePlus 7 Pro's rubbery clear case, but haven't found anything like it yet (new search). Anyone see anything like it?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] demarcmj:
I see someone else already mentioned the dbrand grip case, which I'll second. I don't have mine yet, but in my research it seems to be the best option if you want to fully eliminate the hump. But I do want to point out that there are a few other "special edition" options you can get that aren't directly accessible from the main https://dbrand.com/shop/grip/google-pixel-6-pro-cases link. You have to go to the separate section of the website to get them.

If you're really looking to hide the bump, I think the teardown one does a really good job.

I got this Binceen case and it pretty much is flush with the camera bump. Maybe a tiny bit shorter.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] JW09I4:
Any case that even outs the bump will result in an extremely beefy thickness - unless your hands are huge, you will feel the difference, it will feel quite odd, and it will make handling the phone one handed much more difficult.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] 96carboard:
Inverse is true actually. The darned thing is so narrow and thin that its hard to hold without widening and thickening it up.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] android_dan:
This case does very much hide the bump. However I do not believe it allows wireless charging and it makes the phone a brick. I use it because I need the protection at work, and by keeping it face down in the holster I don't need a screen protector (I remove the included one).
