I'm looking at 2 different cases.
1st option - http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-DualP...sim_cps_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=0M3010SWQ9QEC98D0Q9E
I currently have used had Incipio's dualpro style on my Nexus, and I really like it. It provides decent grip without being so sticky, I can't get it out of my pocket. The corners are tough too - I've dropped it and taken a nick out of the corner with no damage to the phone. My only problem is that there has been a review where someone has mentioned excess plastic around the headphone hole - that will probably make it difficult with large plastic headphone jacks.
2nd option - http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Case-Spigen-Slim-Armor/dp/B00I3UWGJW
It's really my only drawback to going with it over the Spigen (which I love the look of much better). I like the Spigen that it matches the feel of the naked phone, but the hard plastic just doesn't make it up around the corners, and I'm not sure how much I like the idea of the just the rubber (even with the shockproof air cushion) being the only thing that provides support to a corner drop.
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU...
I can't find a picture of the top of the Incipio case showing the headphone jack. If you've seen one, or have one of these cases and the headphone jack is adequate, could you reply. I've even thought about rounding the hole out when I get it (assuming I thought I could do it without it being too jacked up looking). Also, please let me know what you think about either case.
Thanks in advance.
I have both.
The Incipio case is thicker and would be more equivalent to the Spigen Tough Armor, not the Slim Armor.

On the Incipio DualPro, is the headphone jack restrictive? It appears to have a much smaller hole, and a review on amazon said that you may have trouble with larger auxiliary cables?
Thanks again!
Define "restrictive"
The hole itself is pretty big, but it's a decent size, but it's a think case.

Thanks, man. I found this video after I asked. I ended up going with incipio, and we'll just hope it's port lets all headphone cables fit in. I'll post back in case others ate comparing these two.
Another reason why I went with the incipio is the coloring. The white which I love of the spigen, I feel will really show dirt. I need something that will look good later on. As much as I love the spigen, I opted for something I already had (dual pro on the nexus) and new was pretty tough.
Thanks, guys.

I've had both. With the incipio case I did have a few issues with headphones, but not many. Same with my slim armor. I do prefer the slim armor, because the TPU doesn't stretch out as much as the rubber with the Incipio case when the case is repeatedly removed. Also, the white Slim Armor case does not stain and turn yellow like the whit Incipio case did, which btw I couldn't get clean with anything; magic erasers, bleach, wood alcohol, regular alcohol, windex. Nothing worked. And then I got a red one and the coating pealed off. So there was that. But supposedly the incipio case fits with the wireless charging back, where the slim armor does not. Hope this helped.

Hey guys,
Just bought the Incipio Feather case and wanted to share my thoughts in case some people were thinking about buying.
The case is definitely very light weight and pretty thin (Incipio states that it is less than 1 mm thin). It's an "ultra light, ultra strong polymer" hard case that is smooth to the touch while having a slightly rubbery feel to it. The case itself has very clean edges with no trace of any manufacturing defects. There are cutouts for the power and volume buttons, hdmi port (it's covered in the pictures on their site, but there is indeed a cutout for this), usb port, camera, microphone, headphone jack, and speakerphone. With the exception of the battery, everything is easily accessible through these cutouts.
As for protection, this is where I've been disappointed. First off, the side of the case does not rise above the side of the phone, so when you put the phone face down, the screen will be touching the surface (they provide a screen protector, but I don't think that's enough). Secondly, the case does not completely wrap around the phone, so both the top and, more importantly, the bottom of the phone are exposed. The bottom is important because on a straight drop, the pointed part of the phone will take all of the impact because it protrudes beyond the corner parts of the case. The top isn't as bad because it's flatter, so the corner portions of the case will ideally take the impact. Granted, you aren't purchasing a "feather" or "barely there" case for its protective qualities, but I think that had Incipio manufactured the case to fully wrap around the phone, both the protection and aesthetics of the case would have been enhanced.
In regards to the aesthetics, I purchased the case to avoid the bulkiness of other cases so that I could enjoy the look of the phone. However, the cutouts and the fact that the case doesn't fully wrap around the phone cause the Feather case to "break" the smooth lines of the phone. I would definitely prefer the look of a case that fully wraps around the phone.
Overall, I would not purchase this case again. At $25, even with the screen protector and microfiber cloth, I think that a case like the Androidified case that I previously reviewed provides better value with more protection. With the TPU case, my phone experienced no damage after I accidentally dropped the phone while getting out of a car. I can't say that the Feather case would provide the same sort of protection.
Thanks for the review, this was my favorite case when I had my Atrix. I noticed it on the site the day it went up but did not buy it because an employee confirmed over live chat that there was no hdmi cutout. Now that I know it is there I am placing an order now. I just bought the otterbox and I like it but its just too much for me.
This is almost the same exact case as this:
http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&accessoryId=47557
But yours is probably a tiny bit thinner. And this one has a pull out stand which is awesome. They tried to sell this hardcore when i bought the phone, and I got it then.

The Incipio also doesn't have those rubber ridges. I had one of these cases on my Thunderbolt and I hated it because I keep my phone in my pocket. Went with a Case-Mate Barely There case which seems to be similar to the Incipio.
It reminds me of an ultra light 1 piece Seidio innocase. It has a similar feel but its lighter and thinner.
After using this case for a few days I have to agree. This case is not worth it at all. The feather used to be my choice but incipio did not do well with this one.
I'm really hoping case-mate jumps on it and makes a barely there case for the Charge.

Yeah same here. I went back to my Otterbox case but I just ordered the Trident Aegis today. I would rather have a thin light case but this feather is just plain terrible.
Why you going with Trident Aegis..instead of just using the Otterbox?
Just curious on your thoughts on the Otterbox..did you get the Trident? How is it?
The Otterbox is a good case but I am not too sold on having the buttons on the bottom covered. The Trident case shipped today and I will post pics and a review of the Aegis when it comes.
I saw reviews on the Casemate but not the Otterbox Commuter and I was wondering by experience which of the two are better and why?
I never tried the Otterbox but I do have the active Seidio vase and Casemate Tough. The casemate is one solid case. Protection all around and it feels great.
Anyone else have any more thoughts? I was going to post the exact same question until I used the feature to search

I have the Case Mate "Barely There" and I must say it is exactly what I expected.
Good protection for the phone back, sides & lower part. The upper part (at the power button) is less protected as you can see HERE but for me it will do.
The design is perfect, it fits like a glove; all case openings for camera lens & volume buttons are at the good location, see HERE & HERE!
Also, the cover is very thin (but still plastic so still better protection than rubber) so the design of my precious Sensation isn't ruined by it.
Finally, I'd suggest to use an original HTC screenprotector together with this case. Your phone will last for years that way. I tried an external party screenprotector but that was a waste of money because of the worse fit.
Hope this helped you a bit, as you asked for Otterman comments
I have both of the cases mentioned and i like them both. They both do there job. My only gripes are that with the otter-box case i have to fully disassemble the case to use my desktop dock. I have always been a fan of otter-box and have used there cases since owning my Hd2 and will continue to be partial to them for that reason, just wished there were a kickstand on the commuter series for the sensation when you buy it.
Thanks for the feedback, how are the usb ports on the otterbox and does the flap close well?
Basically between the two you would prefer the otterbox more?
thanks again

Case mate tough case is better, otterbox seemed like cap and the silicone surrounding the phone was just bad
Sent from my HTC Sensation using Tapatalk
with my experience with the HTC Sensation Pop! Case is was ok. The silicone warped a little bit on the sides but it was very durable. Be careful when taking the phone out of this case because the silicone popped off the hard part of the case on the top.
are you referring to the case mate or otterbox?

the usb ports function well, the flap closes alright a little hard to open and close and i have used case for about four months and the silicone surround is starting to wear a bit but this is because i remove my phone frequently to use with my desktop cradle. I like the design of the otterbox more it is more ergonomic in my book. Here the way i look at it for the money casemate is a just as logical choice as the otterbox. I prefer the otterbox just becasue i like there product and had never used a casemate before. So in my opinion otterbox.
ballistic
try the ballistic case, its awesome, and its cheaper than otterbox, i bought mine off ebay, it has a silicone plus a hard plastic cover on top of it, its very cool
I've got the Casemate Tough on mine. Had it since December, and it's a great case.
Nice and grippy in the hand, but won't stick in your pocket like the silicon ones can.
The only gripes I can have with it are that it's a pain to disassemble to pull the battery or the SD card, and it could do with being in a few different colours.
I always like bright cases on my phones (yellow is a particular fave) because I do a lot of fishing, and it's always easier to see something bright yellow if you drop it or put it down in a hurry!
I'd say it's worth the money.
Whats the slimmest case you guys have came across...all I basically want is scratch protection.
I dont like cases, but always try to find the slimmest one possible...for instance, totalle makes a case for the iphone called the scarf thats paper thin.
any comments will be appreciated.
thanks
I bought the adopted one and awaiting the spigen case for the 6P. I think if you want thin, the Google case/Adopted case will probably work best for you. It is really thin and makes the case more grippy although I have heard that some cases may block the laser autofocus on the camera. Ringke also offers a very thin case but I've only had it for my Xperia. If you are patient, wait a month and there should be some more detailed reviews on the cases. If not, out of the available cases, the Google ones seem to be the most popular thin cases. Wish you the best in your search.
Get a skin. Slickwraps has them for $10 and you can use "xda" for a discount code.

I too bought the Adopted case from google but it is not a slim case. it adds bulk so i'm looking for a new slim case. Thinking of getting one of these
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Huawei...&qid=1447104935&sr=1-1&keywords=nexus+6p+slim
http://www.amazon.com/DGtle-Anti-Sc...&qid=1447104935&sr=1-2&keywords=nexus+6p+slim
Try J&D tpu case from Amazon. I got it and its much thinner than I expected.
Can anybody comment on the J&D case vs Diztronic, Tudia, DGtle? If J&D truly is thinner than those, then I'll grab one as well.
Another slim one is the Tudia case on Amazon.
Im also looking for a super slim case. Something like an Orzly FlexiSlim (I hope they make it for the 6p, they did one for the 2014 Nexus 6) or a Caufabe Veil XT. Something .0.3mm or 0.5mm thin with a soft semitransparent finish. Has anyone found anything?
If you're going with the skin option, definitely go with dbrand, way better quality.

Agreed there on skins. If I go skin, I *always* go dbrand.
If you want something more than traditional TPU then the Verus case is a good option. It's the thinnest non-TPU case I've ever had for a phone (well, aside from the super thin hard plastic that always cracks after 3 weeks).
I went with this slim case from Kugi: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014ZJ0538
Thin enough for my liking (doesnt really add too much more to the phone), there are cutaways for the buttons (no actual rubber material on the buttons like the adopted case), and the top and bottom of the case are left open so you dont have to worry about a charger or headphone adapter being too big. And it's cheap.

I ordered and received one of these in gold. It does have a soft touch finish, but at the same time seems to show fingerprint smudges. It is pretty thin, although not as thin as the 0.01 inch or 0.35 mm type cases that are available for other phones. The overall finish/quality of is also somewhat cheap with the cutout for the camera assembly showing leftover plastic. It'll do for now.
You could go with a dBrand skin, or a Spigen Thin Fit or the IMAK case. Those look like the thinnest cases for the 6P so far.

Ah yeah, looks like you may have got a little unlucky with that cutout. I just double checked my cutouts and edges and can say mine look pretty clean cut. I do agree with the fingerprint smudges too, but oil on a matte finish (I went with matte black) is a bit expected so I cant complain too much about that.

Hi guys,
I finally got around to doing a review on the Moko Heavy Duty Case for my 6P. I ordered this on amazon.ca. I've rocked this case for about a week now since I did that video, and I am pleasantly surprised.
The cutouts are precise, and the case does not look or feel cheap. The fingerprint scanner is easy to use still as well. The plastic is pretty soft, and I don't think it would stay on on its own without the black shell, but it does fit perfectly. Also, didn't notice much pocket lint or anything else sticking to it like some have reported. Overall it's a great option for a more rugged case for the Nexus 6P, especially here in Canada, where the options can be sparse. Here's the link from amazon.

I've got one in blue but I don't use it anymore. It's a pretty nice case and the quality is fantastic I just wish they would stop putting those huge bumps on the back for no reason. They serve absolutely no purpose and double the thickness of the phone. They do this on these cases for all phones and just still makes no sense.

You might be interested in this CoverON case, which has no such huge bumps on the back. It has an unusual 3-piece design, with a hard plastic piece that snaps on from the front of the phone (in addition to the usual one from the back), locking the soft TPU in place in the middle. I'm quite happy with the build quality, and because of the design it seems like possibly the toughest case you can get that (a) still looks even remotely normal and (b) doesn't have an integrated plastic screen protector, making it easy to add a tempered-glass one of your own. (Note, though—I have an IntelliArmor "case-friendly" TGSP, and it fits perfectly but with absolutely no room to spare. Full-coverage TGSPs will definitely interfere with the TPU at the edges of the screen, although because of the way the case fits together you might be able to get them to nestle nicely under it without lifting up.)

Nice to see somebody on this site review that case. Which color did you get? Do you have any holsters to see if this will fit?

I have the black version. Based on the pictures on Amazon the colors looked like they'd be pretty in-your-face, especially since the highlight color is visible directly around the edges of the screen. I'm afraid I don't have any holsters—I've never used one.
I realize, I forgot to mention the most important thing! The headphone and USB-C cutouts on this case, as shipped, are not large enough for most cables. The stock USB-C cable fits but scuffs the sides, many high-quality third-party cables won't, and the only headphone plugs that will fit are the super-tiny ones that some headphones have for exactly this reason. But! If you have a decent utility knife, some courage, and a steady hand, it's possible to enlarge the cutouts without messing up the case. (I cut away a tiny bit of the TPU near the jacks as well, since it was being deformed when plugging in a cable.) With this done it works beautifully—the case is even thin enough to use a Square credit-card reader in the headphone jack.
Just received it yesterday, here some pics
More to come soon!
how thick is the back in mm or in? do you think you could fit a metal plate between the TPU and the hard polycarbonate to make it work with a magentic mount?
Sucks than my nylon bumper is to thick and slides from the magnetic mount
Also if you have a scale could you tell me how many grams does it weight and also how is the raisivity on the edges for when putting the phone face down or in case of a drop?
Thanks!

Not a fan of it or Tudia cases in general.
I only bought it because no other cases in the U.S market were good. The clear cases are just stupid, and that one case with the carbon fiber top and bottom is very thin so I had to go with the protective daddy

I ended up ordering this one too, that otterbox was just too thick for me. Ebay has a 20% off sale going on now and you can find nylon cases marked up to $30 but it ends up having free shipping and it's in stock. I might grab one of those after seeing the replacement for a back panel was only $19.20 + labor.
Just received mine. So far ok. I like the added weight it gives. Wish the front lip was a little higher and the back is a bit slippery. Last one saved my OPO for 3 years though! And yes the back camera cutout looks like a ****. Thank you previous poster for ruining that

$2.84 Free Shipping. By far the best value for the money. Very heavy duty and fits like a glove. I bought 3 different colors and could not be happier.
Too many people around here think they have to spend big money to get good cases. Not true.
Those cases aren't that good, I bought one for my old phones and the first drop made it shatter! It was only a drop of concrete when it fell out of my pocket.

Yes! Used it on my drive this morning. Perfect to hide the plate and not scratch anything (other than maybe the inside of the case).
I like this case so far. Seems like good protection and not too thick, decent buttons. The only thing I don't like is it's hard to slide the slider toggle.
Yeah I have to dig in with my nails and I'm afraid to scratch the paint of the phone.
