Thought on some cases.

I work in a really dirty environment so I have to have a good case to protect my phone. I have a Ballistic Aspira on my S4 right now. The case is great but diets sticks to the rubber something fierce. I had both an otterbox commuter and a trident aegis for my S3 and they held up well. The otterbox seems to hold dirt while the trident didn't. Anyone out there have either a commuter or an aegis? If so how does it hold up to dirt and grime. Also if anyone has a defender, how does the outside silicone hold up? Thanks!

I really think its the best for you , as it's waterproof as well ( always good to be water protected in work place ) ..

I had the commuter on mine for a few months and I work at a body shop (dirt everywhere) and the commuter would get a little dirty on the rubber but would clean pretty easily. But it let a decent amount of dirt in the case (not as bad as other cases I have had) but I know from experience that dirt will wear the crap out of the finish of the phone. I now have the obex and it stays clean for the most part but the holes for the sensors, spekers, camera and IR hole build up with dirt. A little water and a q-tip and its clean again. And no dirt gets inside the case..

Pretty much every case with silicone is going to have dirt stick to it. I have both the aegis and the commuter and theyre both nice cases. Dirt seems to stick less to the commuter tho.
Hit thanks if I helped you out. Doing a little bit of reading goes a long way. Sent via tapatalk.

Invest in the sedio obex case. Dustproof waterproof and shockproof. I tested and record a video of my son under the water. About 2 feet under. Best overall protection

I've had good luck with the incipio dual pro, often working out with it and getting sweat/chalk all over it with no problems.

Hi, I purchased the SPIGEN Slim Armor case for my s4 and it is a beast! I don't mean in size but the durability on this thing is just solid for a cheap case. It does not protect your screen like an otter box does, but everything all around... If you face the phone down it has a couple of cm so the screen is not touching the surface of your table or w.e. I have a zigs screen protector for my front and my phone is in prestige condition. They are like 25 bucks on their site but I used amazon and got them for 13.99.

Hi...even i use slim armor for my SG S4.. my only concern is about the dirt which accumulates on the back panel which results in scratches when using a back cover. .by any chance do you know how to overcome this??

Lifeproof is coming out in another month. With that one I scrubbed my case with an old toothbrush and soap under running water with my phone in the case.

What M9 cases is everyone using?

Just as the title asks...
This is a thread to share M9 cases&screen protectors based on your own real experience, it would be some help to others' to find a favorite case for their new buddy.
Now I'm using Arozell M9 case on Amazon[ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012ODTG82 ] over 6 months and it really did the job.The look of the case is amazing. It is made of a plastic that does not feel cheap. There are two interlocking pieces, which makes it simple to remove/put on the case without much hassle. On top of that, there is a stand that folds into the back of the case, when you close it has a very pleasant "clink" when you snap it open and closed. Even though it has this fold-out stand, it does not take up any unnecessary space like a lot of cases that you can find.
Most importantly for me, the case encloses the entire phone. Many cases you will find do not have plastic that wraps around all of the edges of the phone resulting in the entire bottom portion of the phone exposed. This one does protect all of the sides and bottom, with nicely contoured openings for the speaker, headphone jack, and lightning port.

I have 4 cases. The Ringke Slim Gold case which I posted on here already, the Orzly FlexiSlim in smoke black which i really like - its ultra thin!
http://orzly.com/orzly-flexislim-case-for-htc-m9-smoke-black.html
and currently I am using this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MYRIANN-Ult...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item46386f94b3
It's like the Poetic Atmosphere but its a clear case - I wish it was smoke translucent.

I've been using a black Ringke Slim. Super slim, love it.

Currenly using the Spigen Slim Armor... generally speaking, I find the Spigen cases to be about as "no-frills-y" as they get, but this one does come with an added feature... gonna post a separate blog about it, but I can definitely confirm that it successfully resisted a 2'-4' drop on corners and face down.

I really like the Tech21 Evo Tactical

Im using this one with the InvisibleShield HDX screen protector, both recommended by the T-Mobile rep who checked me out when I got the phone. He uses the same setup on his M9, says his phone goes through hell, but it looked pristine to me. I've already dropped mine 10+ times in the 2 days I've had it, not a scratch. The "self-healing" tempered glass InvisibleShield is great for the screen, too.

I m using dot view ice premium and generic black slim case and I am happy with them up to now. No spigen purchased 'cause i think they do some bulky cases nowadays.

Spigen Neo Hybrid does a nice job and the camera is just right. I've been using it for over a month

Has anyone picked up the new HTC clear shield case yet? I am trying to compare it to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as both look pretty similar.

I'm with otterbox right now, and whenever they are available, i'll pick up some junky ones on aliexress. They take a while to get here, but it's nice to have a variety without spending lots.

Ringke Slim

Switched to otterbox, had HTC dotview, but the binding started to rip so I returned it. HTC dotview is a cool concept , but is not practical if you use your phone a lot (IMO)

Went from Spigen Neo Hybrid to UAG and never looking back

Im using a Seidio dilex case with kickstand

Another vote for the Spigen Neo-Hybrid. Nice color choices for the bumper and not bulky.

My UAG arrived today and it looks and feels great. Very pleased.

Ultra Super Dupper Slim Cases

I'm in the quest of finding a the most ultra slim case for our Edge+.
So far, I've seen the following:
Ringke Fusion​
Spigen Ultra-Thin​
i-Blaston Halo Series​
Has anyone found anything else that's ultra slim?

The thinnest most minimal case I have is the Samsung protective cover. Other than the edges, and the clear back, there is very little protection.

I picked up the black silicone case at the Verizon (corporate) store for $19.99. I've used these before (Note 4) and this one feels like TPU rather than silicone. I like it. Closest thing would be an Incipio (not feather or dual pro) or even Diztronic. This one is quite thin. I do like the ring around the camera on the Diztronic though. (I have the S6 edge version of that one, have not heard of an ETA for E6+ or Note 5 yet)

thx for share, looks good！

+1. Have this badboy on since day one. Now I'm waiting for a better screen protector to come in, other then the Skinomi one which I hate the rubbery feeling. My Spigen curved crystal sp should be in tomorrow

I too have the Spigen ultra thin case.I got for 10 dollars in amazon where on Spigen it costs 20 dollars .It's the best.

What do you think about this solution?

I got the clear Spigen ultra thin. Very happy with the grip, and I dropped the phone for the first time yesterday with no damage incurred. Only con is that the left side of the case is a bit "floppy", it's not very tight against the side. Not sure if this is a defect or if they're all like this.

I got the clear Ringke FUSION case and like it a lot. Couldn't be happier.

i have put in an order for the Spigen Neo Hybrid Carbon
Its doesn't half look sexy, now it may not be 'Ultra thin' but its a very simple case, and it isn't adding the earth to the phone itself.
And i believe I am the authority on thinness after walking around happily for 2 years with 3 different HTC Universals (Brilliant phone for University I might add)

N6P + Diztronic + dbrand + intelliGLASS HD!

Quite happy about the final result!

Did you put the skin on the case?

Yes I did.

So how did it work out installing it on the case instead of the phone? Did you do any modification or was it simple enough? The reason why I'm asking is I'm planing to do that .. looks awesome

I didn't do any modifications. I just followed the instructions provided by dbrand on Youtube. A hairdryer is your best friend. Do it while the case is on the phone so you can make sure your fingerprint sensor and mic is completely centered.
I had a OnePlus One with a diztronic TPU case and a dbrand skin. Once I got this phone I knew I had to do the same thing. I haven't tried this with any other case.

I did the same!

A sticker that looks like wood stuck to the plastic case that covers up the awesome metal 6p.............just not seeing it.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

I wanted a case to protect the metal so the metal wouldn't be visible anyways. I wanted a thin TPU case that also covers the top and bottom of the phone and the Spigen Thin Fit doesn't provide that or I would have went for that case. To each their own!
Makes me wonder why you're in a thread about cases if you're all about the naked metal body.

Looking through your previous posts, you're a condescending person who can't seem to understand that people are entitled to their own preferences. There's nothing wrong with putting a plastic sticker, on a plastic case, to protect a metal phone. Doesn't matter the price.

I believe they're traditionally referred to as "trolls".
I agree that people are entitled to do whatever they want with their phones.

Hey, that looks really good. Just to confirm, is the case the Diztronic Full Matte Slim Fit Flexible TPU case?

I've had a diztronic case that i later returned. The case is loose and phone would shake inside. That loose.

Does anyone know of a good hardshell/rigid case for the Nexus 6P?

Just as the title says.
Im looking for a very hard, rigid case that wont bend, to protect my phone from bending while its in my pocket.
Thanks.

Ive been a fan of the unicorn beetle pro cases, I use one for my iphone6 for work and it has never bent and its in my back and front pockets. My only complain with them is the "screen protector" is plastic and attached to the case. eventually it becomes scratched. On my iphone i ripped it off and put a vinyl or glass protector. Others seem to like the two piece clamshell slide together cases.
When I do cases I usually get a clear skin from liek xtreme guard, and then put my case around that. Ive had dirt get in cases and scratch the phones. Some of these cases are so tight thats not an option.
Here is another thread on the subject, with some options!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/hard-case-search-t3247650

I would recommend the Nexus 6P Unicorn Beetle Pro Full Body Rugged, if you can find the old design.. the new one i find it ugly...
This is the new design,

This is the old design
Old design shows more of the screen but there was some flaws with it, the built-in screen protector was poorly done. It can be fixed by removing it and using a separate screen protector, I have a TGSP and its nice.

Nice suggestion! You're right, the older one is much better looking than the new one.

Yep, that new one sux's! What were they thinking?

I bought on of these off Amazon UK and sent it back; it's fugly and far too bulky IMO
Don't like the in-built screen protector on it either, much prefer a decent tempered glass which my 6P has already!
I've just ordered the Carpathian Elm Burl woodback explorer case from Cover Up and I've got x2 Orzly cases coming to me via eBay (Prime Armor & Air Stand).
I'm currently using the Spigen Rugged Armor case, but it's a soft case all round with no solid back which is ideally what I wanted; I'm disappointed that Spigen offered such a poor range of cases for the 6P and that Otterbox didn't even entertain making cases for it!

I have the speck candyshell. It has a hard outer shell with a soft inner liner. It's very rigid and should prevent the phone from bending.

The RingKe Fusion has a hard shell back.

one thing to keep in mind is that the black speck candyshell shows scratches like crazy. I've only had mine for 2 weeks and the back is already noticeably scratched up. I'm actually going to return mine and get the white one as that doesn't seem to show scratches as easily.

Thanks, but yes I do have the white for those reasons.

I'm waiting for a Poetic Revolution case which will arrive soon From what I've seen on the Web, this case might be very solid too and it also includes a kickstand and a screen protector. I will remove the screen protector since I never liked this kind of stuff. I'm very careful with my devices and all screens have survived without any scratches
