Why don't you try these Nillkin cases
http://www.ebay.com/itm/380880731717
I have one on my nexus and it looks and feels great. They also come with a screen protector.

Any cases similar to an otterbox commuter case available?

I have no problem waiting for an otterbox (hopefully they'll produce one), but I need something in the meantime. Anyone know of any similar cases?

I picked up the Ionic case from Amazon - some people think its ugly... I think it looks alright... doesnt have the screen protector like otterbox, but seems to have the dual silicon hard shell design. Looks pretty rugged.

it looks just like the Otterbox Reflex series case, but I've got to say the Otterbox Reflex has better design and more color options/combinations. Too bad Otterbox only makes Reflex for iphones :/

The Ringke Slim case is really good; thin, high quality and there is nothing over the buttons which I love
waterproof
Can you tell me the slim case waterproof?

Spigen Cases

Spigen won't be making any cases or accessories for the Nexus 6P. I hope this changes, maybe if we email them enough and generate interest they will change their mind.
Spigen decided to make a nice line up so far of their cases!
Here is the breakdown of their accessories so far:
-Rugged Armour (Black)
-Slim Fit (SF Black)
-Ultra Hybrid (Crystal Clear)
-Crystal film (plastic screen protector)
-Glass.tR Slim (temprered glass screen protector)
-NeoHybrid EX (Silver, gunmetal)
Their loss.
oh i'm sure they will. they always do
oh u kidding me? they better start, and fast

Darn, I really like their matte black thin cases. Hopefully ringke comes around with those then, I would think they will.
Edit: Well never mind. I contacted ringke and they said they had no plans, but may consider it.
I just tweeted them. I really need a tempered glass screen protector. I've dropped my Nexus 5 and had the protector crack, but the screen underneath hasn't. I _really_ need their protector.

That's unfortunate I really like my Ringke Slim on my Nexus 6 and my Ringke Fusion. I wonder why so many big case company's are skipping it?

That's true I bought a Verus, 2 of the Google knes and some random TPU one. If they don't want my money I know many other people that do.
I love the Nillkin frosted cases. Using them on my OPO and OPT.

PC, I never liked tpu cases for some reason. The Nillkin frosted cases don't offer 360 protection though but I like the grip and that it protects the back so I can lay it down on surfaces.
Their loss. No worries, China case makers will gladly step in.
My guess is that these companies have to redesign their "series" cases to adapt accordingly to the black bar on the phone.
I really do hope Spigen, Ringke reconsiders and if we want it to happen then we should make some noise on their social medias to let them know that we're interested.
Diztronic might be making a case for the Nexus 6P. https://twitter.com/Diztronic/status/648967216998711297 -- always was a fan of their TPU cases on prior phones.

I don't use twitter buy I'll make one to help promote interest in these cases. I think people underestimated the popularity of the 6P
I also created a poll on G+ just search for Pilz XDA I don't know how to share the poll in a link from my phone. I'll try to post it here when I get home
Attempt 3 here's the link to the poll: https://plus.google.com/116793113910673645093/posts/hugK6fuvB14
I tagged Spigen and Ringke in it so hopefully they will pay attention

Non-Flip leather backed case for 6P

I've scoured the threads here, and the internet at large and haven't come across a leather backed open face case for the 6p. I am aware of the custom workaround at the moment of using a dbrand or slickwraps leather on a slim spigen or dztronic case but am wondering if there are any, or any eta's on an open faced, leather backed case. Distressed leather preferably.
Pierre Cardin makes them for the note 5 but not for the 6p which i found disappointing. I thought it might be because of the unique camera array on the back, but the folio cases manage to do it, so that can't be the issue.
Look forward to you your replies
cheers,
Pierre Cardin for note 5 example
have you looked into tetded?
Never mind. Just read the post again.

Yeah, teded has some decent folio cases but the flip, is just too much to deal with if you take pictures regularly. I tried it with my mate 7 and nexus 6 and it was not a good experience for me.

Or you could try a skin on a case. Something like this. Not real leather, I know, but some of them do look decent. I used the Spigen Rugged armor and d-brand. I've heard of others using Diztronic and the Spigen thin fit.

Slickwraps actually makes leather skins for the 6P; it's called their "Natural" series and they use Horween leather (same material as found on the Moto X and LG G4). It doesn't offer visor coverage like the vinyl skins do, but if you're looking for real leather this is probably your best bet.
I'd also suggest petitioning @LAURCORE (Toastmade) to research designing leather skins, too, as they had done for the Nexus 6.

I cant the 6p is my only camera lol. I can tell you that i no longer use the case. Although i did like it i decided i wanted somethng thiner. The leather case was "puffy" and the parts around the bezel got really dirty really easy

Is the case very soft to the touch? I got a Tetded case, and the leather is stretched so tight that it almost feels plasticky. This case looks amazing though. And I only see an option for black. How did you get brown?

UAG Case + Mate 9 black

Hey all! I am almost ready to buy the Mate 9 and I was would like to know if anyone has it in black color along with the UAG case.
Design-wise, the case itself seems to be a little over the top for my taste but since it's semi-transparent I was wondering if the black color of the phone tones it down a bit.
Any feedback is welcome (maybe along with some photos if anyone actually has the combination? )!

I actually use just 2. I switch between the UAG one and the Spigen one. The Spigen one is a lot thinner but the UAG is good too. Gets more attention. Lol

I have read mixed reviews about the Spigen case, some say it's great, others that it's flimsy. What's really weird though is the fact that there is no case for the Mate 9 on the official Spigen site! I think I will go with the UAG case, it's a big and quite expensive phone to risk dropping it...

It is strange. I never saw it on their site either. I got mine on Amazon.... Unless it's a fake lol. Heres a pic of the Spigen. I actually like it a lot. I don't find it that flimsy though but I guess everyone has different preference. The Spigen definitely gives it the Blackout look
I use the UAG it is realy nice.

On the UAG, it's much higher which makes it much more protected than the Spigen. The Spigen also has a lip but not as high. Still good though. I do notice the Spigen has a lot more room for the screen protector edges than the UAG one which gets a lot closer.

It does look stealthy and I really like that they went with 3 cutouts on the back rather than 1 big one.

You mentioned the screen protector and I was going to ask you about your personal preference. From what I read in other threads, there are 3 main products that people use and are generally satisfied:
1) Brotect Airglass
2) Supershieldz Tempered Glass
3) Nillkin Tempered Glass
Any other suggestion?

Actually, I wish I knew too. I still have the original screen protector on when I got my Mate 9. I've wanted to move to Tempered Glass but never knew which one to get. If u do find one, keep me posted too
I recommend that one.I am really satisfied with that one.

Well, since I am probably going with the UAG which has more protection, I will first check the Brotect Airglass which is thinner (and hopefully less likely to peel along the UAG case?). If I decide to go with Spigen or Ringke (I like the Ink Black), I will problably check the Tempered Glass options.
