Dustin,
Like your reviews, thanks!
Have you come across a case that snaps in to a clip holster like a Seidio Surface or Dilex?
Thanks,
Chris
My Orzly Flexislim will arrive tomorrow. It almost 4X more expensive frm my current Nilkin Nature case. Nilkin is good but i missed Simplism Ultrathin for Z1. The material is perfect & super thin. For Z2 & later device, they changed with shame disappointing material. Lets see how good orzly really is
⚅ χρєʀια™ z5
Orzly Flexislim is the best thinnest case so far!
✓ χρєʀια™ z5
Has anyone put one of the flexislim cases on the Green Z5? I'm wondering how it looks
From orzly cases i will only consider the fusion bumper in black if i don't mind covering the sides because it seems like there are better cases for preserving more of the beauty of sony design. Fusion bumper clear sides are matte, not transparent and the thinner one is all matte. For all transparency it seems that spigen ultra hybrid clear or spigen liquid crystal (thinner but with less protection) are better options.
Thanks for the advice! I have one very much like the fusion bumper but with clear sides. It's OK, but the back plastic picks up so much fingerprints. I was considering the Orzly matte "smoke white" one as it sort of looks like the colour might still show through to a certain degree. With the clear one with all the reflections and fingerprints you don't notice the colour too much, especially with the gel part being a little bit rounded. Also I don't really like the feel of gel or plastic, I assume the matte one has a slightly matte feel to it which I might like. I might just have to take the plunge and get one and see how it goes.
Anyone get the Spigen cases for the Z5?

I didnt buy any spigen cases. Those guys are not what they used to be and i dnt feel there cases are that good
I have brought the flexicase shown in the above video. The case fits perfectly and my phone still looks very slim whilst giving it some protection against knocks and scratch's. I would highly recommend it
Please can you tell us how does the real product look like? As you can see in the photo on the official site the cut on the back camera is different from the cut shown on every other site, like Amazon, where the cut gets an oval triangular shape.

Mine are straight off amazon so im guessing the stock photo is wrong
Has anyone put their hands on both of these cases? I basically narrowed down to one of these. They are strikingly similar to me on paper. I just want to see if anyone can push me one way or the other. Thx.
Hi,
I got SGP Metal Case. It fits perfectly and protects my Note. However, after unmounting couple of times the metal frame slightly bend and no longer adhere (<-- used translate on this word ) as perfectly as before.
Both are practically the same but it all depends how much you want to spend and the colors you want to get.
Go for spigen
The spigen looks slicker in real world, plus the side button implementation is way better than verus.
The verus buttons have a rubbery feeling while pressing which I don't like.
Have the Spigen Neo-Hybrid one, must say it is pretty nice.
Only downside would be if you are constantly swapping out batteries.
Taking off the case is a little annoying, but I haven't yet as battery life is
pretty decent on 4.4.4.

Should post pics or at least links of both for comparison
+1 for Neo Hybrid. It's solid, the buttons work great, it's real easy to grip, and it's about as small as a useful case can be.
Thanks for all input. I just disordered the blue Neo Hybrid metal case. It looks really sexy based on one of the YouTube reviews.

Good choice on the SGP. I had the Verus at first and found the buttons (power and volume) very difficult to press - as if there was no tactile feel. I switched over to Neo hybrid metal and the buttons feel 1000 times better. I narrowed this down to the tpu inlay of the Verus not having cutouts for button placement. SGP has segmented cutout for the buttons which gave it great button feel. In fact you can use the SGP tpu inlay and the Verus metal bumper fits over it fine with very marginal differences.
The neo hybrid started wearing and scuffing the aluminum off my Note 4. I could see silver in the corners of the case.
After I got a replacement I went with a clear I-Blason to avoid the wear and have good protection. Plus less bulky.
How does it get scratched with TPU in between?

Received the Blue Neo Hybrid Metal Bumper. It looks very slick. The buttons are great. The only downside is that not the whole bumper is blue. The champhered portion is chrome. I wish it was anodized aluminum like the Verus Ironshield, but the Verus doesn't have the slick button implementation. I guess there isn't a perfect case.
Have you tried using the heart rate monitor sensor on the back with Neo Hybrid case on? The gap was small and you can hardly get a good stable reading as u need to squeeze the finger tip into that deep cut out. Secondly the metal bezel is brushed but yet susceptible to scratches. As my first case is Spigen Neo Hybrid, it does finely scratched the bezel over the time when i remove it to replace the battery.
Hey guys. I just decided to try Nexus 6P. Looking for some great cases to protect it! But also I don't wanna spoil the original look of it since the design's so unique and beautiful!Just got two clear cases for my former Nexus 6 from AMZ and looks wonderful, yet the clear case get darken yellowed after few weeks using, so just share your N6P case experience here and enjoy!
Long response incoming:
I initially bought a official microfibre Adopted case (in carbon) from Google along with my N6P (aluminium). I paid full price for it, but I thought it was worth the premium for an official case and the design was cool and unique. Massively underwhelmed when I received it, because it's nothing more than a generic TPU case with a thin "sticker" of microfibre on the back, which I sensed would be prone to staining and, over time, peeling. The fit was also really tight and button presses weren't that responsive. I decided in the end that the Nexus branding wasn't worth the premium, so I returned it.
I then ordered a charcoal Diztronic case. I've had good experiences with Diztronic in the past, having used their case on my Galaxy Nexus as a daily driver. It was cheaper than the Spigen Rugged Armor and I appreciated the minimalist aesthetic, not being a fan of the faux carbon fibre pattern on the Spigen. The fit and finish was great, and the buttons were clicky and responsive. My only minor niggle was the cutout for the camera sensor wasn't completely accurate, as it cut off part of the circle surrounding the sensor (100% an aesthetic oversight with no impact on function).
I then bought a Speck Candyshell Grip (in white) during the Black Friday sale, when it was 50% off. Definitely my favourite case of the three I've tested so far. It provides the most protection (being a dual-layer silicone and polycarbonate hybrid), looks striking, and, as the name implies, provides a ton of grip.
I've had a Speck Candyshell on my iPod touch and over 4 years later, it's still kept my iPod in perfect condition. The case itself is scratched up and turned a bit off-white, but I haven't exactly been gentle with it (having taken it traveling and camping) so I'm confident in its protective capabilities.
I'll likely be rocking the Speck case as my daily driver for the time being, and I'll only swap back to the Diztronic when I want a more toned-down look and slimmer profile (maybe if I'm at a fancy event wearing slacks).
Finally, I also pre-ordered a white Crash Guard + Project S from Evolutive Labs when they offered 25% off the first 50 pre-orders. IMO this would be the solution to preserving the Nexus's original design and aesthetics, while still providing a lot of protection (if the demo videos are any indication). I have no idea what Project S is, though (hopefully some kind of transparent skin, though they said it wasn't going to be made of the same material as the Rhino Shield).
I have a tempered glass screen protector from intelliARMOR protecting the front (second generation/first revision, the model prior to production of the two distinct "case-friendly" and "edge to edge" versions). It's been fine with both the Diztronic and Speck cases, though I'm curious as to whether the edge-to-edge versions might also be compatible with the Speck and Crash Guard, as there's just 1 mm between the edges of the cases and screen protector, where I find dust and grease can get trapped in between.
If you're looking for clear cases, there're Spigen's Ultra Hybrid and Neo Hybrid EX cases. The Ultra Hybrid is a single-layer case with a clear polycarbonate back framed by TPU along the edges. I wouldn't recommend it personally because I've heard that clear TPU will stain over time (as likely what happened to your original case), and the visor is completely exposed and thus prone to scratches.
The Neo Hybrid EX consists of 2 pieces: a clear TPU shell and a coloured polycarbonate bumper (essentially, the reverse of the Ultra Hybrid). It looks to be the best clear case I've seen in terms of protection (as the visor is actually covered), but I don't know how the clear TPU will fare over time, whether it will also be prone to staining. I'd wait on reviews for this case before ordering, and for it to be listed on Spigen's Amazon store, which will likely be cheaper than buying it off their main website or eBay store.
To be honest it's the first device that I don't have a case for it although I have a tampered glass and a pouch. But I'm waiting for some skins from dbrand and a wooden skin from toastmade.
Tapatalked with my Nexus 6P
I got the carbon cloth backed Nexus 6P case originally and I really like the look and feel of it, but it's not the most protective. The only issue I've had with it is taking screenshots (the case presses buttons you don't mean to) and it wouldn't work with a tempered glass screen protector (it peels it up).
On the black Friday I got the Speck CandyShell in black/slate and I'm digging it. It's more protective and it makes the button presses a little harder, which I like. I would think it'd work with a glass screen protector as the bezels don't intrude onto the glass very much.
I use a Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid as my standard case. I usually slide it in my pants or jacket pocket. I do wish there was a belt clip for the Beetle Hybrid, but to get a belt clip case combo you typically are into something much thicker and substantial that is, for me, unnecessary. When I'm wearing a suit, I use it bare and carry it in a Story Leather belt clip holster made for the iPhone 6s Plus. The phone has a Skinomi Tech Glass protector on it.
My experience mirrors LuckyDragan a little bit.
My first case was the microfiber case from the Google store. While it looked nice and the in hand feel was decent, I felt it cost way too much for what it was. I ended up returning it because when I pressed the edge of the case by the buttons it would change the volume. Not cool for a $35 case.
Next case is the reg. Adopted case. It's not bad. I really like the textured sides. It's also fairly narrow. Thing is, I paid $10 for it, at the reg. price of $20, I'm not sure if it's worth it. By the pics I've seen, I think it looks better than the Diztronic, especially the fingerprint cut out.
3rd case is the Spigen Rugged Armor. Except for the camera cut out (I don't like how it doesn't leave room for the blueish oval), I think it looks the best of all the cases I've tried so far. My nags are that It's all little wide and slippery. At $13.00?, it's a good buy.
4th case is the Speck Grip. My favorite so far. It's not as thin as the other cases but not bulky. The grip is awesome, no problem using the phone with one hand. At first glance, I didn't think it was the best looking case, but it's starting to grow on me. The protection and how it makes the phone so much easier to handle makes it a winner. @ $20 I paid during the Google store's sale, I think it's worth it. @ the reg. price of $40, idk.
If haven't yet, check out Pilz review thread, so much good info.
White Speck case as my daily driver.
I have tried the Diztronic one, while it does provide protection, did not like how loose the edges felt, definitely not as snug and stiff as my Diztronic Ultra that is on my GS6. It easily bent out edges for my taste, and thought of getting some debris that could scratch up the phone was bugging me somewhat. If you need a very minimalist, fingerprint resistant, and decent lip for screen protection, that is the case to have.
Also have the Supcase Unicorn Hybrid Ultra. great case, snug and firmer edges than the Diztronic one, but damn, is that case slippery. I have a habit of placing the phone on my car seat, and that thing just slides around like a hockey puck on ice when placed on its back. Placing it face down did help... still preferred it over the Diztronic.
But snagged the White Speck Candy Shell Grip case at 50% off, love it. Excellent grip, very tight and solid felling edges, does not slide when placed on a my car seat. Wished they offered a matt finish white version of this, since I am not a fan of shiny cases, but the black rubber lines offset it enough to be likable for me. Sporting the Orzly TGSP,with that case there is a minimal space between the glass and the edges of the case, nearly perfect sealed fit. Hoping the intelliglass ones are a bit more of an coverage so that it could have a near gapless glass to case seal, still waiting on receiving mine...
Currently have the Tudia case which is brill, but also got the Spigen rugged case coming.
Official microfiber case in carbon. No screenshot issues or button issues in general. I love the soft fabric feel. Feels more "welcoming" than the cold, hard plastic/TPU of other cases I've used. Regarding durability, I'm a little concerned, but only time will tell how the microfiber will hold up.
Smoked Ringke fusion is my case of choice, at least for now. I also have the Orzly flexicase and Spigen rugged armor. Don't really care for either of those.
Anyone want to trade a case for the spigen rugged armor? mint condition and hasn't been used other than trying it on once.

I'm also using this case and think it's a good balance of fitting, protection, minimal bulk, etc all for a low price. I bought it off Amazon for $11 but unfortunately it's been outta stock for the past month or so. I wished they had a clear case instead of smoke coloring though.
I use spigen rugged armor, it's a good case that offers high protection to your phone..
i intend to order the verus high pro shield case though, just want to wait for some time until they fully supply the updated case.. the first batches had a defect about the charging port..

Thank you for the notice. Strange. Is Ringke the actual seller? I wonder why they stopped selling via Amazon.

Yeah, not sure about amazon, but I bought mine from that ebay link. Pretty sure they are the actual sellers.
The Spigen rugged arrived today and it is SOOOO much nicer than the Tudia one. Better fit and feels nicer and more secure.

I've had a few cases so far.
SR Tech - Typical TPU case. Decent protection. Cutouts were slightly off. Total fingerprint/oil magnet. Got real slippery after a week or so of use and required a wipe down. Did not interfere with my Pleson TGSP.
Spigen Rugged Armor - Soft touch finish felt really good in hand. Very good protection at the sacrifice of some added bulk. Cutouts were precise and buttons had a nice tactile feel. Soft touch got some smudges on it occasionally but not nearly as bad as the SR case. Did not interfere with my Pleson TGSP but it was really close.
Spigen Thin Fit - Very interesting finish on this case. Kinda felt like the back of the Nexus 6. Fingerprints weren't really a problem but oil/smudging was. Case snapped on snugly and provided good protection for the covered areas. Top and bottom of the phone were exposed. Did not interfere with my Pleson TGSP.
Nillkin Nature - This is my daily driver. Pretty much the same as the SR Tech, only about half the thickness. Cutouts are more precise and there is a cover for the Type C port, which I really like. This is literally the thinnest case I've ever used and it really helps make the already large 6P more manageable in the hand. I wish it came in a matte finish so oil/fingerprints weren't so much of an issue, but other than that I'm happy.
Adopted for now until bumpers start arriving and be reviewed.
Ringke smoke and Google Microfiber. Like both and switch weekely

I switch from the official google carbon case and spigen ultra hybrid. They are great cases but the buttons on both aren't the best. I also have speck case but I use it for when I go to the gym. Diztronic case is nice but phone feels loose inside and verus case.. Its whatever.

So I just received the Poetic Affinity clear case and I'm liking it!
album of pictures: http://imgur.com/a/E0vrg
It's clear, with a black bumper around it so that it sits on this small bumper rather than the clear portion. It's a very nice, tight fitting case. Phone feels nice and snug inside, which is a complaint I had about the Diztronic TPU in that the sides were loose and would bulge out, which was quite annoying.
this case fits nice and tight, and has a good grip. The sides have these bumps which are the same hard plastic that the case is made of, but they provide some great grip. def don't see myself dropping this from holding it on the sides, which I like.
the case itself seems to be of sturdy construction. it's a harder type fully clear mold, with a softer TPU type little exo skeleton type bumper that makes putting it down on a surface nice and soft. the lining around the screen is black and also a soft tpu like material, so if you put your phone face down on the table, again, it'll go down softly rather than hard like a fully hard case.
has all the standard ports, and they are all precisely cut: headphone jack, charge port, and the oval shape around the camera and motorola dimple are perfectly cut and look nice and even.
best thing is the case is super clear, so if you've got a nice leather or wood back, it'll shine right through. my moto x was the standard black back, but it still looks cool through this case.
overall, totally worth the money for a case that offers some decent protection, looks and feels good, and overall seems like it'll last with the phone!
link to the amazon site for it: http://www.amazon.com/Affinity-Prot...900484&sr=8-2&keywords=poetic+affinity+moto+x
The very same case but with clear bumpers if you want an overall clear look:
Looks great - thanks for the pictures! At $15 it certainly seems like a great deal! My Cruzerlite case seems shabby in front of it. I think I am going to have to ask someone to get it for me from the States.
What's the lip like? Sufficient in case of a face down drop? Is the corner protection better than the average case, like it seems in the pictures? Also, do you think that the clear part would get scuffed/ scratched over time and not look so great?
the lip isn't huge, but it's big enough to keep the protruding speakers off the surface it seems. corner protection looks good, and there's cushioning on the inside on the corners as well. the clear surface looks good, and isn't holding fingerprints too bad right now, maybe because it's brand new idk, but it may get scuffed up over time. I did notice a small scratch on mine.

I had this case on my note 5, but had to return it due to yellowing of the sides.. Kinda bummed about that

Thanks for this. Considering ordering this case now.
Hi @jayochs can you tell me what kind of tempered glass did you use on your Moto X Pure?
none. I have a normal cheapo screen protector. not a huge fan of tempered glass.

Case review
Absolutely without a doubt best low profile case for the moto you will find. I also have the i-Blason Halo Series and in comparison the Poetic smokes it by a long shot. Just wish I could have gotten the black and clear.
Hello,
Im looking for a case for my new Nexus 6P. I already looked up a bunch of case collection threads in the accessories section, but couldn't find the right one. I want a slim/thin fit case (I know it has minimal protection, but the nexus is just beautiful, I will take that risk), that is crystal clear and doesn't cover up the buttons on the side.
Looks like the shimmery white adopted case that comes from google is the only one, that nearly fits my requirements. I just want to make sure that I don't miss my (dream)case, if it exists. :laugh:
Does anyone know a case that would be perfect for me?
Check aliexpress and eBay. From Aliexpress I got a case... think the brand is Lenuvo or something like that, for a few bucks. It is entirely gel TPU, and I got the slightly smoked color to hide dirt better, but it is still very true to my aluminum 6P's color. It is the thinnest case I own compared to the several others I have. It does cover the buttons though, but provides good feedback.
I also have a frosted clear plastic shell, a lot like the Spigen thin fit I got on eBay for a few bucks. It doesn't cover the buttons or anything, but I just didn't like it that much. I prefer either the Spigen thin fit, the BearMotion sandstone thin fit, or the Cimo smoked matte gel tpu when I need a little more protection.
