I wanted to get my s6 wrapped and was wondering If I should wait for slickwraps to come out with their wrap for the S6 or should I just buy from Dbrand. any input is welcomed.

Check out the Dbrands. They are precision cut. Look beautiful, and actually go edge to edge even over the slight curve the S6 has. I for one will most likely not skin this device, because I like the black sapphire look in the sunlight. However, if I do end up doing it later in the future, I'd go with Dbrand. I've always had the best success with them.
I'd go with Dbrand also. I've used bot companies, and Dbrand had better quality and better precision.

Ok thanks. I agree Dbrand might be a better quality. I've had to purchase 4 Slickwraps for the same phone. I only chose them because they covered more of the device.
Dbrand for sure! I probably will be getting a blue carbon fiber back and the zebra wood. Will wrap on my white s6
what about grip? i want a skin cause i hate cases and ideally i'd want a transparent skin only on the back and with increased grip - the all-glass phone always slips out of my pocket and is hard to hold without feeling like you're about to drop it. is there anything out there that increases grip w/o looking awful?
i kinda like leather-textured skins but it seems like they all feel like paper (sorta like the moto x football texture one).. i really don't like the feel of that
any recommendations on skin that would provide the best grip?
I went and ordered the leather skin from slickers because it seemed to cover more and the leather adds grip to the phone. Will report back.

The grip is better with it than without, but not a lot better. On a surface such as a sofa it does not slide as easily anymore.
Ordered the matte black back from Dbrand will post once it gets in.

awesome. its been over a week and still no delivery or any updates on my skin. I should've ordered from dbrand.
slickwraps shipping is slow.
Just got mine. Full review after I've had it on a day but I can pretty much tell that it won't be on after that. The leather one, doesn't look or feel like even fake leather. I think its just a slippery as the glass. And with the white leather on the black phone you can still see black at the edges. Installed pics to come later.
Slickwraps.com is apparently behind and won't be shipping the order until the end of the week. I wish they would've said something sooner about the delay.
Here are a couple of pictures of the Samsung S6 with a matte Dbrand skin.

Google's own Dan Morill has confirmed that "Bumper Cases" will be offered for the Nexus 4. This is the first official accessory that we've heard of after the TouchStone charger.
Dan Morrill 1 hour ago
+Dave Ranucci We've actually got some bumpers (ring-like cases that wrap the side but not the back) coming as accessories for Nexus 4, if that's how you roll.
On the back, there is indeed a small raised ridge, which should prevent scratches if not breaks.

cool! I can't wait to see what they look like.. maybe multiple colors?!
As long as they don't add to much bulk around the edges I'll get one. Unless the design on the back is more ostentatious in person, in which case I'll get a case that covers it.
Possible bumper case?
Look at the purple ring like bumper case in the pictures:

I definitively want to get a bumper because I love OEM accessories and this phone looks too good to put in a case.
I've never owned bumpers. Do they really protect devices well? As far as I can tell, they leave the front and the back of devices vulnerable to scratches and breaks. But if I'm wrong, please correct me.

They protect the sides and corners and will absorb shock (although not too well) It is a minimalist case, if you are worried about scratches you could invest in front and back screen protectors or have faith in Corning's Gorilla Glass 2.
I think the combination of a screen protector and a bumper will be enough for all but the most paranoid, Gorilla Glass is able to stand up to a lot of punishment.
Bumpers are awesome!
It doesn't add much bulk and protects the device well.
I can't recommend these cases enough. I loved the Slim for my Galaxy Nexus. A very well designed case with minimal bulk. I doubt it offers the most protection but for those looking for just a little extra protection, this is the way to go.
http://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-ringke-slim-case
EDIT: says it releases on the 30th but I just got a shipping notification from Amazon. Fluke or awesome? Not sure.
EDIT 2: Just got shipping notification. it is in Texas. 11/29/12
had a rearth slim on my nexus s and was pretty satisfied with it. I don't even have my N4 yet but I'm tempted to order at that price
edit: just realized its for preorder
Also preordered the matte black case and screen protector. If this is as good as my Slim case for my Gnex it's going to be a good investment :good:

These cases are minimal drop protection, perfect for the minimalist, not so good for a 6 foot drop. (Although you will be surprised what a little bit of material can do!)
If you want something minimal, (a little bigger than Rearth, but not otterbox) look at the Dizitronic TPU cases. http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=46_76

The Ringke Slim was excellent for the Galaxy Nexus and even better for the iPhone 5...count me in. Ordered.
Agh, why did they make it protect the sides and not the top and bottom like the GN slim case....Maybe because it was so hard to remove the case, heh.
I ordered the white one a few hours ago and just got this email wasn't it a pre-order? I even got a tracking number
I ordered overnight and just got a shipping notification from Amazon with a tracking number (USPS) as well.
so it's true, they are shipping already... btw I don't even have my n4 yet XD
I'm not sure if my information is entirely accurate - but the girl I talked to said that once they generate a shipping label - it would show up on amazon as shipped... However, the product itself wont be shipped until the 30th.
I'd suggest to call them:
9:00am-6:00pm (CST) Monday - Friday
Call: 469-250-1307
Does anyone know if there's a eyelet for phone straps on this case?
I understand the importance of a case like this... I just don't get why design a sexy glass phone just to cover it up so you don't even see it.
Wouldn't a truly smart design be sexy and durable not requiring a case?
Ordered.
It's a gorgeous looking case but as mentioned before, the top and bottom part of the bezel is open.
Someone needs the same make a case where there's an opening in the back so we can show off the Nexus logo.

I picked one up as a temporary case. I'd really like to have the back shown off though, so I'll probably replace this with the bumper when that is available.

Looks similiar to the rearth rinke and diztronic ultra thin cases. Try one and give a review!
Hmmm... you can get similar case for 9.99 though.
If SGP made a bumper, I'd be all over.
The ultra thin case does look similar to those on eBay indeed.
what is up with the cutouts on the render? they are awfully tiny on the volume and power. I hope that's not how it really looks but it's not really worth it since you can get the same thing from rearth.
I'll pass. I can have two different colors Ringke Slim cases for that price.
It also includes a screen protector. That's worth the price. Buying one now.
I hope they make a clear version :fingers-crossed:

A Neo Hybrid Ex Bumper to be exact, and I will gladly pay $20-$30.
Go to their FB page and post that you want a bumper case, their already a few post already doing the same.
Sent from my Nexus 4
posted on their fb wall about having other thin cases out there with way lower price that what they'll be offering. also pointed out the how poetic bumper sales are thriving for their bumper case...
their response was "the price depends on what the package comes with"...so I had guessed they'll include their screen protector with the case...but still cant see why they proceed with the project when you can get the same case for around $2 on ebay..
This case is quite a disappointment...I associate SGP with making unique cases, not something so obviously generic looking. I'd really like to see them release something for the Nexus 4 like the Neo or Ultra Hybrids they had for the Galaxy Nexus, or the Linear Metal or Hybrid EX cases they have for the iPhone 5. Now those all look unique from the other stuff out in the market currently.
they will, it will take some time though because on the limited availability of the phone

I think the quantity of these phones in the market is enough to warrant a good sale...just look at the poetic bumper case :
ebay = 818
amazon = more than 149 (based on reviews number, so the exact quantity should be more than that)
They've raked up more than $10 grand of revenue from a single case model...
and sales from both sites are still counting, since other case manufacturers are still skeptic of the market size for this phone's casing...
received my case today!
feels nice, smooth of course lol.
but it feels a bit loose, but it does hold the phone in. The top part of the case is a bit loose with the phone in it, the bottom part is firm and in place.
Maybe because i have a back screen protector on it, but i highly doubt it.
gonna shoot them a email in a bit about it
this is so going to be a product marketing failure...
throwing something very few wants, in a market already filled with it, at a higher price...thats like 3 flukes in one go
its like selling shaved ice out in the cold, in the middle of winter, at a higher price than in summer.

What we really need is a case that only covers the top and bottom and leaves the sides exposed. Would love to take full advantage of those curved edges.

yea i agree with this i had a spigen neohybrid for nexus 5 made it thick. and since its not rounded like the case in the back you lose the functionality of the rounded back where you can tip the phone one way or another for the display when its on its back. but i like it too.

Got the case
I got the case in blue. The price is right for sure. I actually love the case because it makes it angled and square. The buttons on the side feel awesome to click now too. The cons are that after two days of having it in my pocket the outside blue plastic corners are picking up the black from my pockets. That's the only issue really, my headphones and charger fit perfectly on it and it feels snug, there is a slight bend in the rubber at the top but NBD. Also, the plastic outside is mat, not shiny though the pictures would have you believe otherwise. Let me know if anyone else wants detail or pics.
how thick does it make the phone?
anyone try the BRILA cases also?
I am getting my replacement today... I will post some pix
eh, mine comes tomorrow lol impatient
size
About 1.5cm, still fits in my pocket, all good. Gonna pick up a darker colour one today because the blue edges are turning dark.

These guys have my respect.
I've noticed that there are a lot of threads for rugged cases, slim cases, vinyl skins and for people who want to use the phone naked (with Nexus Protect, hopefully ).
But how about covering the phone in a clear, transparent skin to protect the soft alluminium against scratches, while preserving the awesome look and design of the Nexus 6p?
I've found a handful of such skins:

I've got the first Skinomi you listed installed on my aluminum angler while I'm waiting for a dbrand skin to arrive. Although I've used the Skinomi screen protector before, this is my first time using the full body skin. In short, I love it. I typically carry my phone in my front pocket and so far there's been no peeling, scratches, etc... It adds a nice tackiness to the grip. I doubt it provides any drop protection though. Visually, I can't tell there's anything on the phone.
Bought xtremeguard to protect mine while i waited for my vinyl skin. The screen guard had huge cut outs for the speaker and the proximity sensors were covered. That leaves a lot of glass exposed and a black screen on calls.
The back was also poorly cut in terms of fit and finish. There's no skin provided for the visor, and the top edge of aluminum around the visor was completely omitted.
I bought that for $2 back when there was a sale code, but it was definitely not something I would keep on the long term. That being said, the visibility through the skin was quite good after you let the skin settle in about 2 days after installation.

Here you go. I could have aligned the back piece a bit better. It's a little low. I figured I'd just leave it though since I'm expecting a dbrand. Also, there is a skin over the visor as well.
Those pics look pretty darn good actually. I wouldn't mind a clear visor vinyl, but I'm rocking a matte black already.

Yeah, about the only thing they missed was a piece directly above the visor. I tried putting it in the Google Adopted case as well. It barely fit, but I hated the look, so skin only.
Just ordered a Bestskinever full body skin. We'll see if its cut out better than the other ones.
All these other brands seem to share more or less the same cuts, ommiting the strip above the visor, and not really covering "edge-to-edge". Waiting for some company to solve these issues. I'm mostly excited about Slickwrap's Naked series. It had perfect coverage on the HTC one M8
