Thanks for this post, I've received my carbon case today.

It feels really nice in the hand and makes the phone more comfortable to use compared to the casemate that i had on prior to this.

Obviously not as much protection but for general daily use it is perfect for me.
[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
One downside of this case is that it's difficult to quickly wipe away dust and smudge from the camera cover glass. I'm considering our waterjet cutter at work to cut it out to look like the more open carbon fiber case in the other post.

cheers
[Google Pixel 6] woe:
How did you find this case felt? I was looking at the Google cases but I noticed that a few people mentioned they were pretty slippery.
[Google Pixel 6] Kimbaroth:
It def is slippery, but even tho the material is recycled, it feels very premium. Also, it fits perfectly unlike any other case (I have 6 cases in total, only good ones, no chinese brands or so).

I recommend it! I would like to have a clear one, but since I'm located in México, it's kinda difficult for me to import it (google/best buy only send items to US located address).
[Google Pixel 6] woe:
I'm trying to decide between the Google case and the Caseology Vault right now :unsure:
[Google Pixel 6] Kimbaroth:
I have both, the vault looks meh. If you wanna pick Caseology, go for the Parallax one (I have the black one with red accent). It's very grippy and looks nice.

I also pre ordered the dbrand grip case with many skins for it. I'm gonna rock the new leather release and when I get tired of it, i'll swap it to robot camo or so. It's kinda sad that the dbrand case is on back order ATM, but they promise to ship it on January, almost there!
[Google Pixel 6] dilruk:
I'm evaluating the exact 2 options. How do you like them. How much thinner exactly is the thin fit?
[Google Pixel 6] velqn:
That`s all I got :)

Carbon Fiber ▶ https://bit.ly/3E0rnkI

Simple Ultra-thin Matte ▶ https://bit.ly/3DOOrT7

Concise Style Soft Back Cover ▶ https://bit.ly/3pYcyKa

The first one is the Spigen Rugged Armor case, and the others are from Ali :)
[Google Pixel 6] bush911:
I have also own the first one for my phone which not comes to me yet. I dout this inside texture will make back of the phone very dirty, as simlar spigen case made back of my pixel 3 very dirty.

How do you look at this?
[Google Pixel 6] NavySpark:
Not exactly sure how much thinner the thin fit is but it's slightly noticeable.

I prefer the Caseology as I find this variant of thin fit really slippery. I also liked the curved section vice a straight edge by the camera bar.
[Google Pixel 6] kpirnie:
Debating this one and creating my own mount for my telescope :)
[Google Pixel 6] velqn:
Well it`s okay, the only problem with Spigen rugged armor ... it`s huge, offers good protection but just too bulky for my taste.
[Google Pixel 6] woe:
Do you find the case bulky? Can you still use all of the gestures and swipe fine? I'm really eyeing this one.
[Google Pixel 6] HassenC:
It is a little bulky,

But gestures are fine, the sides of the case are flush with the screen.
[Google Pixel 6] phupton:
Is anyone aware of a bumper style case? I’m struggling to find one.
[Google Pixel 6] starbiker99:
I also now have the Peel and I believe it is the same as the clear case I got off Amazon for much cheaper. Both are 26gr and look and feel the same.

Super Thin Pixel 6 Case

Peel is the original and best super thin Thin Pixel 6 case. Just 0.35mm thin and branding free, it's designed to keep the original look of your phone while protecting it. Ditch the bulk and slim down with Peel. Available in multiple colors.

[Google Pixel 6] derausgewanderte:
after almost 2 months I received the second case from AliExpress (my other one posted above is the nice carbon fiber one). This one is a little slippery but does exactly what I wanted. It only protects the back and the sides somewhat. It's not as thin as the PHNX case which is my everyday case. It's a hard PC shell.

For $3 including shipping nothing to complain about. Just imagine all the trouble that went into this for that amount of money. That must be a calculated loss....
[Google Pixel 6] dilruk:
I'm switching between casealogy vault and Spigen ultra hybrid black. Love the texture on the vault however the ultra hybrid shows the beautiful glass back. If only there was a hybrid of these 2.
[Google Pixel 6] schjor:
Do you have a working fingerprint sensor with that glass? I have the same and it is not working...
[Google Pixel 6] Diablo2424:
Sorry I cant comment on that as I don't use biometric locks (face/fingerprint). I have had issues a few times requiring me to press harder for things to register, but it must have been temperature related or something else odd, as it only happened once or twice recently.
[Google Pixel 6] earthbend:
I got the sage green Caseology Vault case at first and it really sucked.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B096T7VRF3

It got super dirty within a month and nothing I tried to clean it with worked. If you get a black one, it's probably ok.

Current case is this random Amazon one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09J58HFNV

I like it a lot more. It's much more slim compared to the Caseology. It does feel more slippery I think, but I use a Popsocket so that isn't an issue for me.

And in case anyone's wondering about a screen protector, I got these TPU ones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09K54HKL9

I've been getting exclusively TPU screen protectors since I had a OnePlus 7 Pro and really prefer them over glass at this point. I never have any issues with fingerprints. It will show marks if you accidentally dig your nails into it or something, but they're easy to ignore.
[Google Pixel 6] XmlNode:
Custom skin from dbrand. It fits well, ultra slim and you can put together a unique look to your phone. Alo, it has a great touch.

https://dbrand.com/shop/google-pixel-6-skins
[Google Pixel 6] stankyou:
To those that use the dbrand grip case for their Pixel 6, is the issue mentioned on the linked video still a problem? The video is a year old.. I'm hoping they fixed this design flaw for their recent Grip case. Can anyone confirm? Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6] clairelara:
I actually bought the Pixel 6 stormy black edition because it was only available and it looks so dull so I applied Neon phone skins from Gadgetshieldz for my phone and it looks so cool now!
[Google Pixel 6] mrlad:
I'd be grateful if someone with a dbrand grip case could post a review. I've seen some posts about people ordering them but no reviews or feedback as of yet.

Also, anyone know if dbrand still have coupon/discount codes occasionally?
[Google Pixel 6] woe:
I got a Caseology Vault while I waited for my Dbrand case. The vault is fairly thin, I didn't mind it at all. The texture on it isn't as grippy as I'd like. It's almost slippery if you don't have rough hands.

Dbrand grip case is really nice. The grips out on outside are really grippy. I wouldn't recommend it if you wear skinnies all the time because it will be a lil tough to get in and out of your pocket and may pick up lint/fluff. I got mine with matte black and it's super solid. I haven't had any issues like the video above and don't even understand how what he showed can even happen.. The case in the video is also not even made from the same material. It seems to have some kind of soft rubber as a bumper around the case, which isn't what mine is like at all.
[Google Pixel 6] catseyenu:
Picked up a leather wallet case but I hate how thick it is.

I'm a big fan of iCarer wallet cases that have the slimmer molded leather phone holder as opposed to the plastic holders seen in almost all the wallet cases. Sadly they aren't making one (yet?) for the Pixel 6.
[Google Pixel 6] Dahenjo:
Crave Dual Guard for Google Pixel 6, Shockproof Protection Dual Layer Case for Google Pixel 6 - Shaded Spruce (1000+ good reviews)

I added a Spigen stick-on kickstand on the back:

It's not a slim case but very protective using some of that bump height we're stuck with anyway, the fit & buttons are excellent, grip is pretty good after using it a bit and without the usual rubbery feel, comes in several colors, slips into pockets well despite the bulk.
[Google Pixel 6] el_pelosss:

[Google Pixel 6] Justin933:
For some reason im loving this setup.. Its the Spigen Ultra Hybrid Clear case.. with a Razer sticker that came with my keyboard/mouse/headphone bundle. Please excuse the random dust/etc.. I need to clean it!
[Google Pixel 6] Note10.1Dude:
I'm going caseless for a while with a skin. I put on a dbrand leather skin, and separately ordered a matt black camera bar cover from them, as the leather looks weird on the camera bar to me. Super happy - great grip on the back. Still not great sides grip, but the 6 is better than the 6+ on that. Only think that worries me is nothing on the screen side - not sure of the solution, but a little leather wrap for the face would be cool, but not sure it would be durable. I don't have a different cameral here for a photo, but will try to remember to add one later.

Edit: Here is my skin after 3 months of use. I really like the grip and the look, but lack of any screen protection is an issue. I have 2 small screen scratches, which I have never gotten with a case. Also, scratched anodizing on the camera bar edge. I have started to use a Pelican case from the $5 AT&T deal when I am doing anything active and going with the skin only when I think the phone will be safe. I like the grip a lot, and almost no additional thickness - a case fits fine over the skin.
[Google Pixel 6] legend221:

How has yours held up after all these months?
[Google Pixel 6] Hot-Proton:
I am looking for a very thin hard case. Does anyone know of one?
[Google Pixel 6] SLJ:
I'm rocking the Frosted White PHMX mnml case. The color scheme of the phone shows through, it adds just enough grip without adding any noticeable thickness, and now the stupid glass back of my phone doesn't cause it to slide off of basically every surface I place it on :rolleyes:

Pixel 6 Thin Case

Super thin, precision cutouts and no branding. The perfect Pixel 6 case for those of you looking for a minimal thin case.

I don't have pixel 6 but have the pro and this case is also available for the 6 I like the case I have 2 a black and black one and ordered a red and black but that's not arrived yet also has a camera shutter cover to protect the camera

[Google Pixel 6] hungmung:
A bit late but I have the Dbrand Grip. Very nice case. It definitely has a good texture to it which I like. Never feel like it will slip out of my hand unlike done other cases I've used. The wrap for the back is nice and has a great feel too it as well. I got the Black Dragon. It is also super easy to put on and vibes with the part for over the camera glad as well. All around I'm very pleased with the purchase and have even debated getting a second with a different skin for a little variety.
[Google Pixel 6] chaimav:
Thanks. I actually already found one that works, https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09H2JPRKT/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Its for the pro, my mistake - I ordered the wrong one, but it still works fine on the Pixel 6. I believe they also have a version specific to the 6.
[Google Pixel 6] liggerz87:
Ye the one ingot they do for both least yours is ok only problem I see is if thendun is in picture it gives off like a light flare
[Google Pixel 6] mr.serfus:
Sorry for the low quality lol , my pixel's cam was obviously not available haha

Just wanted to share this sexy leather case with you guys.

IMO it's the best looking case available for the pixel 6.

It is thin though. So from the one hand it's not protecting very well but on the other hand it doesn't add any bulkiness.

can't have both 🤷‍♂️
[Google Pixel 6] Note10.1Dude:
Hey, if anyone needs a case right now in the U.S. (June 17, 2022) jump over to AT&T's web store. They have a few Pixel 6 cases for $5. I figure good to have just in case.

Hi, I got a 2nd hand Samsung S5 model SM-G901F and compilation id MMB29M.G901FXXU1CQE3. I want to flash LineageOS on it but I'm not sure if the device is compatible. Looking into the official LOS website for compatible devices I see my device listed - I think - (https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/kccat6) but without active development. Does the compilation ID matter? Does it really matter if I flash a LOS ROM that's not under active development? Are there alternative ROMs that I can flash on this phone? I just want to avoid GAPPS and bloatware, have some call recording functionalities and enhance my privacy.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] bikefreak1:
Hi,

from the above Link : https://download.lineage.microg.org/kccat6/

i took the image : lineage-16.0-20211125-microG-kccat6.zip

for a test of "LineageOS 16 with microG "

and next I tried the image : e-0.19-p-20211125148133-dev-kccat6.zip from the link :

https://images.ecloud.global/dev/kccat6/

for a test of "/e/ OS" ,

both with the recovery : TWRP 3.2.3-0

on a Samsung galaxy S5 PLUS ( SM-G901F or kccat6 ) .

Both roms seem to be supported with updates

( meanwhile I made one OTA-Update successfully with both roms)

, but with both custom roms i had/have the big problem, that after shutdown from gui or via reboot -p the powerconsumption is untolerable high - if the accu capacity was 100 % before shutdown it's about 80 % an hour later.

At the moment i have installed the e/OS/ version from above and the phone is meanwhile rooted with magisk V23, which had no obvious impact on the problem with the powerconsumption.

Does anyone have an idea, if/how this problem can be fixed ?

Help woud be appreciated !
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
I would not trust that battery charge level that much. It has only voltage measurement to to guess the stat of charge after a powered off period.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] bikefreak1:
Thank you for the very fast response,

but it's not only a matter of a wrong display - if i tried the shutdown in the evening, the accu is really empty next morning - the smartphone can then not be started, there is no display, no vibration, nothing - the phone seams dead unless connected to a powersupply .

I've tried the shutdown procedure several times - as long as the mentioned custom roms are installed the accu is empty a few hours after ( the try of) a shutdown.

If i go back to the stock rom and use the same shutdown procedure the display of the accu-capacity decreases about 3 % within about 12 hours - and the phone can then be started again WITHOUT being connected to a powersupply .

I have tried this with two different accus which i had charged until 100 % before i started the tests and it was always the same effect.

Crazy, isn't it ?!
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] kurtn:
Oops. Can you try to boot into recovery and shut down from there?
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] bikefreak1:
i think , i tried the shutdown from recovery a few weeks ago but because I'm not absolutely shure about the result i will try this again and report later, here.

Hi,

yesterday at 23:35 I bootet into TWRP with an displayed accu-capacity of 90% and made a ( try of ) shutdown vom TWRP via it's gui-function : Reboot --> Poweroff.

Today at 18:35 I tried to start the phone WITHOUT connected powersupply and it started into TWRP and displayed an accu-capacity of 89% - GREAT !

I think, that proves, that it's purely a softwareproblem of the installed custom-rom , or am I wrong ???

Hey guys,

I'm just wondering how unsafe it is for security if running Android 10 these days? I know A11 would have higher security but I like the stableness of A10. I may update to A11 if its a lot better in security.

Thanks
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You kidding?

I'm running Android 9 and unless you do something stupid it's near bulletproof in actual use. My current OS load is 1.5 years old, still fast and stable. Never a forced reload due to malware.

Q is not bad, maybe a little faster but more restrictive (not in a good way) than Pie.

I have 2 N10+'s, one running on 9, one on 10.

The highest I'll upgrade is 10 as both run very well.

11 is a dog. A puny, yappy runt poodle of an OS.

It will be a horror show compared to 10... but you can do what want.

Just dump 11 and 12 down on highway 61...

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Morgrain:
This is quite interesting that it happened days after you ordered. Of course it sucks.

I was active in a forum when the P6 came out, when hundreds there tried to order the phones - and had about reports of circa 15 people that got their order cancelled by Google shortly after getting through, just like you said here - but not after days. It was more like a maximum 60 minute mark. It's odd that this happened to you after this long time. I guess Google is manually managing/checking all orders, or maybe the system flagged your order and those that are flagged get manually re-checked. I can't think of another explanation why this happened after three long days.
