ive had a cheap little sleeve, and it really did nothing for protection. I know your against otterboxs, but I will still recommend a otterbox commuter. It DOES add some thickness to your phone, but it offers amazing protection. a sleeve really only protects from scratches, not big drops.

I went to the mall to test out the cheap cases and I could hear my phone hit the glass counter top when I gently turned it over. I went directly to Best Buy Mobile and overpaid for a Belkin... which is what I also bought for my original Incredible. I love the fit, protection, and coverage of the buttons. I clean my phones daily, so I like that the buttons aren't exposed.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with whatever you decide!
The inciPio silicrylic case. It's a slim 2 piece case at a reasonable price. It looks so GOOD to me. ( I have a white galaxy s 3 with the white and gray version of this case ) it's stylish, slim, and provides great protection

I have been really impressed with this case...not too bulky, nice grip on the side, the corners have extra reinforcement.
I have the Incipio Dual black/black on my white phone. Looks super sexy and really doesnt add much bulk while still providing great protection.

You can look at SGP's line of cases,
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3.html
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Color Series (TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Lumi Series (Same as Color Series but brighter colors)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Ultra Thin Air Series (Polycarbonate back)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Modello Series (TPU Case)
I've tried the Incipio case and currently use an Otterbox. The Incipio case was nice and the color complimented well, but felt too loose. The Otterbox fits tight, but is too tight for those who need to change battery frequently or whatever. I haven't completed decided which I like better.
Hey guys,
I'm considering buying a TPU case for my N4. Which ones do you recommend and why? I'm also especially interested in how much width they add. The OEM bumper case makes the phone too big for my hands.

I said that too when I first got my bumper and then tried it a second time and resold it again. Won a white OEM one and hasn't come off yet.
I suggest the Ringke Fusion, but you may not like fingerprints on the back of that. Also cruzerlite has some nice cases as well. Also Diztronic tpu cases are nice if you are looking for a plain jane tpu.
The Diztronic case is great. It barely adds any thickness to the phone. While not TPU, I'm also digging the Body Glove case. Laterally, it doesn't add much thickness, but it's a little beefier on the back which might be a good thing with the glass and all. Both cases have raised edges which allows you to put the phone face-down if that's ever a concern.
I have the Diztronic TPU on mine and my girls. She has dropped it numerous times and not a scratch on it.
Mercury 6$ case, it's nice as I have one for a note 2. The note 2 is more snug versus this one however, this one has lips on the sides to protect the screen.

I must be the only one who thinks the diztronics tpu case is a pile if crap. Cutouts don't like up on either of the two I've had. Went in the garbage
I use the.bumper, and the body glove case when I am doing something where I need more protection

I have the this one: Ringke Fusion. It adds very little to the bulk of the phone, whilst protecting the back.
I also like the Mercury case ..the look and feel is great.

You must've had bad luck with it then.. the cutouts on mine are perfect. What I do dislike though are the buttons, which are a bit hard to press and feel mushy.
I still haven't seen a case that I like 100%. Every single one makes it either look a lot cheaper, adds too much bulk or doesn't offer enough protection. But.. well, nothing you can really do, I guess
I have the official bumper, rinke fusion, poetic borderline. I can say using Ringke fusion brings the feeling of a solid phone. Using the official bumper adds a width for the phone. In the poetic borderline i didn't feel any bulk at all. That's my experience about those cases. I consider the back design in choosing a case cause i wanna let others can see the beauty of N4.

Mine arrived this afternoon and I love it. Can't wait for my skin for the back to arrive so it can feel safe and look sexy.
Official Bumper, Diztronic, a two part mesh case, etc and my FAVORITE is the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case in Smoke. You can see Nexus through the back of the case, not much width added at all and with the Bugdroid pattern carved into the back it offers much needed slip out of the hand protection. Cut outs are perfect also.
I've only tried the diztronic and I highly recommend it. Doesn't look like anything special or nice but in terms of protection it works. I've dropped my phone many times with it on and no scratches or dents or anything. Also the cutouts on mine are perfect.. There is a whole thread on it here I believe. I do wish the beautiful back wasn't covered though.. ringke fusion might be better in that sense.
I've gone through a few cases and settled on this one. My fave case so far, offers great protection and fits over the iloome tempered glass screen protector, unlike the Ringke Fusion.

I am about to order the Nexus 6P Gold, mainly because of the price even though I am switching from a S6 Edge Gold Platinum.
I am having difficulty deciding upon a case to match the phone instead of hiding it. My first choice was the Spigen Hybrid EX but it doesn't have one currently with gold trimmings only gunmetal and silver. I am now considering the Verus gold, but I am thinking it has too much black and I am not entirely sure if the gold trimmings are the same as the phone.
Nexus 6P gold owners I would appreciate it if you all could chime in and help me out, which case do you use?
Thanks everyone.

I'm in the same boat. I decided to go with all clear cases.
Ringke Fusion
Pleson Clear Case
Spigen Ultra Hybrid
Hopefully I made the right choice.
I bought the spigen hybrid because I wanted to show off the gold back, but the case was still too slippery.
So I bought the Verus gold and in my personal opinion, its probably my most favorite case of any phone I've owned. The gold trim is pretty much the same exact color as the nexus and while it's majority black, the gold trimming and the gold fingerprint scanner showing through provide beautiful contrast. I'd highly recommend it.
You will read mixed reviews for the Evolution Lab bumper case for the 6p, but I have it on my Graphite 6p and I like it better than my Spigen clear case.

I actually do!
Yours actually looks better than the ones on their site ... Lol ... I like it, think that's what I am going to get. Thanks
Now here´s the deal: If you want great protection, you will need a "bulky" case ( eg. a Poetic Revolution or similar case ). If you care about the looks, you will need a clear case ( eg. Spigen Hybrid Ex, Poetic Affinity or similar ). These "slimmer" cases will offer some great protection too but chances are higher that your phone won´t survive a greater drop.
If you feel clumsy, go for a rugged case ( which is not transparent ) or else have a look at clear cases. Even the thinnest clear case is still better than no case at all

How would you rate the protection of the Verus?
I don´t own this case but from the looks of it, it could offer a similar drop protection like an Otterbox Commuter.

Supcase and Versa are great choices. I personally don't know why Spigen is everyone's 1st suggestion, I personally don't like their cases.
I'm looking for a simple silicone case. I find I hardly ever drop them due to their extreme non slip surface. Have had no luck so far. Ordered a J&D case off Amazon but it was your typical TPU, flexible but slick! Still on the hunt.

My wife bought a gold Nexus 6p several weeks ago and out of all the cases I have the one that looks the best on there is the supcase clear black one. Looks so good I wish I had gotten the gold one.

Look at Speck cases
Been using the Supcase for a day. The grips feel great, not rubbery, but slip resistant, has a nice feel. The transparent pc back cover looks great with the gold case. The volume/power buttons have a responsive click feel, the cutouts do look symmetrical and well placed. For $15, I'm happy for the time being.
I have the Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I like that it doesn't really add a lot of bulk to the phone and still has enough of a lip on the front that I can lay it face down without worrying. Also it is one of the few cases that I have found that has a full cut out for the camera on the back.
stilgut leather cases are very good.
Just wondering how many cases people have for their 6p and which ones they rock on a daily basis. How many is too much ?
Have 3 at the moment but thinking of sending the neo hybrid ex back as I also have a speck candyshell grip and a supcase unicorn hybrid slim. I am thinking of picking up a leather sleeve or nice folio or perhaps a supcase pro which I had for my G3 and it kept that phone in pristine condition.

True, it feels nice naked, but I'm just so paranoid about dropping it without a case on lol. I've never been worried before as they have always been contract phones, and basically paying like £15-25 a month with your minutes and data. But this is the first one I have bought outright and simply because of the way it looks and its overall design and I actually like the camera hump at the back and think its one of the more unique looking designs out there. The fact that it is a beast in size and performance also helped sway the decision

I haven't dropped the 6P yet but I dropped phones with the Spigen cases in the past and they always showed no signs of damage and they protect the phone very well. They are made to withstand impacts on the corners. They call it "air cushion technology."

I'm afraid this will be me soon lol. Looking at some handmade leather pouches which look fantastic but don't come cheap. 1 or 2 more and that's it lol
They sure do look good and if they hold up and protect the phone, then I might keep the neo hybrid. I just can't see myself using it anymore though, after having bought the candyshell, but I'll see how it goes.
If you don't mind, could you let me know what kind of pouch you're using? I looked at this one and it does look good:

Yeah I thought about getting the rugged armor and may still do in the future but for the time being I have sent the neo hybrix ex back. It's a really nice case and I liked the finish on it, but the side with the button started coming loose and left a bit of a gap (which seems to be a common issue from what I've read on this forum) and simply couldn't justify paying £16 for it to start doing that after 2 weeks use. The candyshell grip is the one I am rocking on a daily basis now and I have to say is an excellent case. I hear you about the accessories and covers in the shopping basket, I will be buying a leather folio and a leather pouch and a few more cables me thinks.
i just have the Supcase slim. Id recommend this case because it protected my nexus from a 5ft drop right on its back! But im looking for a good flip case!
Hey,
I'm curious what is your prefered protection. I'm currently using a case but I'm thinking about switching to a skin, maybe dbrand or a real wood one.

Thisphone is hard to hold naked so I run a case, ringke is my current daily. I'd love to run a skin but they simply aren't attractive with seems, plus I like being able to toss my phone around.
Have you seen the cruzerlite bugdroid cases? I have a red and a black one. However, due to the nature of the material in the semi opaque red one, it is more flexible and does not fit as well as the black one. So the black one stays on permanently.

Yeah I've seen them. They look not bad.
Currently using a silicon case, but planning on using skin sometime soon. Really want to feel the Z5C touch without any hindrance. Love the frosted glass finish on the back.
I wish there was a Diztronic TPU case for it. I've been using their brand for my previous Moto X, Nexus 6 and 5x and they're the best I've had so far. Minimalistic, durable and protective. Anyways for now I'm using a Orzly Semi transparent TPU case bought from Amazon, it's fairly decent compared to what's available, i wouldn't consider a skin on this device.

I've been using the DevilCase aluminum bumper with a tempered glass protector. So far it's held up to all the drops and smacks I've given it. The bumper is visible worn and scratched but the phone itself still looks new.
I use a generic transparent silicone case that covers and provide a front raise.d protection the phone is slippery as hell without a case. I've dropped it several times getting inside and outside of the car during the first 2 months. It got some heavy scratches on the corners and also on the back from slipping it in and out of my front jean pockets. It loses some of it's appeal with the case but then again; I got a much better grip now and I can just drop it instead of 'gently' placing it on the table; and I do this like 100x a day.

It's around $50, not the most expensive of cases but more than the standard TPU and silicone ones.
I've used them on my last three phones and have always been happy with them. Their customer service is also tremendous.

Ah ok, I'm rocking an orzly case. Not bad either....
I always use TPU cases with my phones. I wish I didn't have to use a case, but your phone WILL eventually fall and hit the ground at some point, so you need protection. I prefer TPU because it's the perfect balance between polycarbonate and silicone. It is hard enough to feel robust and not stick to your pockets (pulling everything up along with your phone), and feels soft enough to absorb impacts. NEVER had a phone crack or dent with one of these. And they fall from hip height from time to time when I get out of the car. I dunno, some part of this is luck, but I trust these cases. They're simple, dirt cheap and efficient.
In addition to a glass scree protector on the front, I use a dbrand sticker on the back to increase grip and protect the glass from breaking or getting scratched.

Ringke Fusion seems quite popular
interesting
Redneck Tetron. Dual layer protection and stand. I'm very satisfied.
I'm simply using a TPU cover bought for 5 euro and saved my phone already 3 times. It's perfectly fitting the size and doesn't add extra weight or size to the phone itself.
I'm using it combined with a tempered glass.
FYI something like this: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9CSjnj2gSms/maxresdefault.jpg

ALL users of z5 tried few china tpu cases, but that one is awesome, I recommend 100%, phone looks elegant and like without case ( with dark version). Moreover, it's matt and really nice in touch :good::good::good: youtube.com/ watch?v=GtxgfKDej-E im not a producer, just happy user
I agree, I'd use the phone naked but its too slippary. All I really want is a bumper but no one has any.
Therefore, I just got a black TPU case and cut out the back to make it into a bumper. The cut could have been cleaner but its been working for me.
