Show us your Frost in a case - Nexus 6P Accessories

I cannot decide which case I want for my Frost. I haven't used cases on my last phones because they all had a pretty durable surface in the back (Leather on the G4, Wood on the Moto X, Hard Plastic on the Nexus 6). With the glass and the soft aluminum on the 6P, I don't want to be case-less anymore.
I want the Adopted MicroFiber Quartz case, but it's sold out. I also love the Slick Wraps Galactic and Hero skins, but I've had clear cases in the past and they get scratched, dirty and ugly very quick, so I wish there was a case with those designs on the outside.
Once a full solid case covers the back, the whole point of getting a Frost becomes moot, which makes me a little sad.
What are you using and what does it look like?

I get my frost nexus tomorrow, i'm curious about this too.

My frost slid out of my front pocket on my shirt while leaning over to pick something up in the kitchen. It bounced twice on the tile. Both spots have small dents in the aluminum from about a 2 foot drop at most. This arrives tomorrow. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01637DS70

My Fusion Smoke version will come tomorrow. I hope the combo will be interesting in a good way.

Thinking about getting the Frost myself and I'd be interested in seeing this too.

I'm not a fan of the headphone jack cover though

Looks like there aren't a lot of Frosty owners using cases...

I am expecting the spigen ultra hybrid clear today, it is overdue. Will try and remember to post pictures in here.

Just got my frost, but my clear Spigen won't be here for a few days. Will post when it comes in.

Ugh, you would think so! At least that didn't happen.
Got the case today, yesterday was a holiday for usps. Also put on the free screen protector until my intelliarmor arrives....whenever that is.

Not bad! What do you think of the headphone jack cover? Can it be removed? They describe some sort of "personalization" that can be done

The personalization is this paper pattern that is the same size as the hard clear part. Its a guide for cutting something to fit.
I don't see the headphone jack cover being a problem. It appears that it could easily be removed. The hole that is there for the headphones is just barely big enough for my audio technica's plug.

Thank you for the pics. Looks like the Spigen is arriving to buyers now, but it has a "crack" near the fingerprint sensor that seems to be part of the mold.
Anyone else have a case on their Frost?

I have the Ringke Fusion case its a nice case and someone already posted pics with it.
I like the Spigen case better with air cushion for drop protection (Dropped my S6 Edge dozen times and not a single dent). Except it has a big window for the camera visor(lots to go wrong).

Ah, so that's what the cap is for! Dust protection! Where did you get that slide from? I don't see it on the Amazon product page or Spigen's site.
There's a thread of people getting the Spigen case and they all have a "crack" on the Nexus Imprint ring. Looks like something the mold has, maybe that's why they were selling them cheaper on Amazon

I've got a frost in the spigen crystal clear case. No crack on my plastic back.

Buyer has to pay for return shipping. I'm trying to return mine and just found this out. Mine has a few defects out of the box so hopefully I won't have to shell out more money to send it back.

@havanahjoe Yeah,I think the frosts are delayed. My coworker ordered one on day 1 of preorders before i ordered my graphite and I got mine like 2 weeks ago, he's still waiting....

I would suggest this pouch:

Really minimalistic look and feel.
Or get a :

Or if you want to shell out some money:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Otterbox-Co...=UTF8&qid=1329437392&sr=8-10&tag=acleint06-21
Do not buy the OtterBox, always loved her, but the sensation was very bad. Case mate beautiful
I hate to be one of "those" people but theres already at least 2 very helpful CASE threads, lots of info and lots of pics so go to search and check them out.
i think that case-mate have many cases that are beautiful and enough proofing for Sensation.
There are mesh cases on ebay for about 2$.
I'm not sure how they will handle a fall, but they will protect the back cover from scratches.
Here is an example:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/250990237606?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
edit:
Just came home from work and the case was in the mail box.
My first impression is:
The case looks GREAT! The phone fits very well. there are holes for all the antennas (all the case is full of holes). I don't think it will protect your phone from a fall to the floor, but it will definitely protect it from scratches on the back cover AND on the screen! It has about 0.5-1mm "rail" on the screen side so when the phone is up side down, the screen does not touch the surface. It is possible to remove the back cover without taking off the case. I think the holes will help the phone to cool off.
I will try to post some pictures later if any one is interested.
If you don't mind waiting about 10 days, best bargain I've found IF you want a very thin and minimalistic case WITH Screen protector, here you go:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Silicon...875643?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c20d468bb
I ordered about a dozen for myself and coworkers. I got them at 1.99 shipped each, but they went up just a bit. For that price, get a few different colors.
Nice, tight fit and all holes are unobstructed and well cut out.
Never buying a hardcase again!
Never buying a hardcase again!
Sure the mesh ones look awesome but that's it, I bought 1 from ebay and it broke around the volume buttons within days of receiving.
Got a replacement from the seller and same thing!
Ended up getting a full refund.
Bought a $30 solid hard case from my local Optus Store (I'm an Aussie), was great for a few weeks then it too broke, they offered me a replacement but I opted for the full refund.
Totally disillusioned with hard cases!
Now I am about to test one of the TPU Clear Silicon Cases, fingers crossed it does the trick and doesn't some how melt and fuse itself to my Sensation XE.
Ballistic
I bought this case from amazon and the pics online look weird but in person its a nice looking case and solid feel and weight to it. http://www.amazon.com/Ballistic-SA0...sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330012302&sr=8-1-spell
There is a grey one and black. I got the black one . The company also has a website goballistic.com
I bought one of these, we'll see how it is

The case came in yesterday, it's mediocre.
The case is securely in place but not very secure, it's fairly easy to take the phone out of it. It is thin so that means that it doesn't cover the front of the phone at all.
Also the camouflage paint doesn't go to the edges
I would be careful; in my experience cases will compound wifi problems with this phone (as in block the antenna). With my two cases I can never achieve a full 3 bar Wi-Fi signal.

I have something like that but sold it. It's a great case for the cash, but you can see even in the pic on ebay that the top button is not aligned properly. Other than that those cases are my 3rd fav case.

That's my travel case. Great case. But my fav at the moment is the clear aprolink hybrid case. It's pretty much plastic with tpu trim for grip. The only drawback is that the rubber easily scratches, but I can't see it.

I am really intrested in this special coating spray, could you tell me how it compares to a screen protector in terms of protection and feel to the hand.
Because I am realy fed up with screen protectors so I would like to give this a try. Can you use it and, not even need a case afterwards?
Thanks in advance,
Is there something that holds the cover closed?

I was once in your shoes. I hated using screen protector. Depending on the brand. Some will have an orange peel effect. Others will have a harder time getting all the bubbles out. I've tried all major brand. Was never satisfied. It always looked like I have a screen protector. Some weren't as smooth to the touch and felt like there was some drag when swiping. But with this liquid armor, you spray twice on the micro fiber cloth supplied and apply to the phones screen and back glass. Wait ten minutes to dry before use. It take about 24hrs to fully cure. The screen feels smooth and responsive just like it would be without a screen protector. I would always recommend to at least have a bumper if you don't want a full case. This product will protect the screen not the phone.

The way the case is made is that there's a little ridge that makes the case flap close perfectly with the rest of the phone. There's no magnets or clicks. I'll try to take a close up picture of that.
Nothing holds the flap. But that seems okay for me, my pocket hold the flap.
As for charging, my lg wireless charger works with this case.
Also, it's not leather... Good fake leather.

Here is hoping the best and wise purchase!
At least, until the mythical otterbox for the N4 comes out.
I ordered mine on white 2 weeks ago and received it on Dec27 while the estimated delivery was on Jan22 so it was REALLY FAST... I haven't seen it yet because I'm in New York but my brother sent me a pic and it does look nice

Looking for a backless bumper for my new Note 4

So I jumped in and pre-ordered a T-Mobile Note 4 today..
I am looking for a rubberized bumper to put on the phone.. but one that is backless..
Now I know this will hide the beautiful metal sides, but after seeing my Note 3 fall soo many times.. and ONLY be saved because i had a rubber bumper on it, I need one for the Note 4.. But, I love the leather feel of the back of the Note.. so I don't want a bumper that has any kind of back..
I saw this metal one on Ebay.. but will this offer any kind of the same protection as a rubber one? http://www.ebay.com/itm/111458796796

Wait some time and you'll find some on ebay. Don't go with the metal bumpers, it will lower the reception. Notice that there are cutouts in the metal band of the phone itself for the antennas. It also messed with my GPS reception when I had one for my Note 2 and 3. Plus it add little drop protection versus the rubber/TPU ones
If you find a nice bumper, please post info. I would be interested. I picked up the Spigen Ultra Hybrid; it has a clear back.

That has clear plastic on the back. It will get scratched on day one and look like crap.
I am in the same boat as the OP. If any of you find a TPU style bumper, post it up. The back of a phone is strong. I just want corner protection and a slight lip on the front to protect the glass on the screen.

I got the case today.. and put it on my phone..
Pros: It IS backless... so it will definitely protect the phone, while allowing you to feel the faux leather back of the Note.. and it has a bit of a raised lip to catch the phone from a full face smackdown on the floor.
Cons: It is... really smooth.. too smooth.. Walking around NYC today without a case, the metal ridge of the sides of the phone felt secure in my hands.. but with the case on, it feels like it might slip out of my hand.. sigh.. I wish it was either more rough or had some kind of edge to grip on..
I'm going to keep this case.. but also keep my eye out for another one that will feel more secure in my hands, while protecting the phone.
Pics!:

I'm going to keep this case.. but also keep my eye out for another one that will feel more secure in my hands, while protecting the phone.

any good (non book cover) cases for the nexus 9

Hey there I am looking for nexus 9 case
That provides some drop protection
Without being like a tank
i want something like the spigen Hybrid Series
but they don' make them for the n9
and the only case that i have find excluding book cover cases are
the Cruzerlite Bugdroid

But it provides very minimal protection
and the SUPCASE
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ONRSSF0/
Which proved extreme protection, but adding too much thickness to the device
so is there any suggestions for the any case you know about
I have the supcase and purchased it on its release. While it does add a bit of builk the device fits securely inside the front of the case and then the thicker rear snaps around the front. It is similar to the otterbox i guess however it does not have the rear shell. the rear of this case kind of is a hibrid of the plastic shell and a hard gel rear sort of thing

do you feel that the case makes the device
To become very bulky or is it Just little bit because in pictures it looks huge
ill be honest in that it makes the device bigger. It gives it a little bit of weight also.
in that though, i am used to it now and it provides excellent protection. i would recommend it to anyone who used an otterbox type case on their other devices. It was also half the price.
I was initially waiting for the poetic case however with shipping from america it was going to cost approximately 70-80AUS $. I got this case for about half that price, so very stoked.
I've found the Kayscase to be pretty decent. I have it in the frosted clear. I've never owned any of the Cruzerlite cases for devices, but I imagine the Kayscase would be similar. Also, I am not sure how well it would actually fair if dropped. However, it is reasonably light, doesn't add a ton of thickness or bulk to the case, seems to be easier to grip, and provides just a slight lip over the bezel and screen.
ETA: It occurred to me that the image shown below is probably a Nexus 7. The Nexus 9 version looks pretty much exactly the same, except it doesn't have the rear speaker cutouts. The shape of the rear camera cutout is also different to accommodate the flash on the 9.
You can find it here:
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...d=1420779419&sr=8-2&keywords=kayscase+nexus+9
I have both the bugdroid and the supcase. I really an confident with the Supcase enough that I take it with me on the farm, something I haven't done with a tablet since back in my Xooms with the Defender case. Man, that thing was a monster to carry.
Honestly as long as supcase makes cases for whatever device I own I'll never buy another OtterBox. They're not quite as bulky and I honestly think they're better made. I have one on my nexus 6 as well.

OP, I know this is not what you asked for, but your title made me think of taking a hardcover book, and "Andy-Dufresne-ing" the inside of it to make it the dimensions of the Nexus 9, and then stabilizing it in there somehow. you would have to glue the edges of the paper together on the outside, but this could be a terrific idea... if done correctly.
For those who don't know what Andy-Dufresne-ing a book is, go home and watch The Shawshank Redemption.
I fully expect my "thanks meter" to shoot up through the roof right about now....

You are absolutely right. I mis-read, and I apologize. (And if i came off like i was yelling, i apologize for that also. Definitely wasn't my intention.)
I got a moko grey case. It's awesome! Super slim and all plastic so no worries of ripping or taring the fake leather.

I looked at that one as well but went with the Poetic hardshell case from Amazon (Can't post links yet ), it does add some bulk, but sure is secure. Still the purple one looks interesting.
Still scratching my head over the round cutout on the bottom front of the case. Was the Nexus 9 supposed to have a fingerprint sensor there?

Review: Spigen GLAS.tR SLIMTM tempered glass screen protector for the LG V10

Okay, I have had this on for about a week now, and I have never been this happy with a screen protector before. I have around ten different android devices in the the house at the moment and most have glass protectors on them. I also am coming from a note 4 with the rounded edges/halo nightmare, I know what a pain they can be as well.
First, the coating on it is top notch, slick and smooth. The rounded edges roll right onto the stainless rails and make the phone feel like it was meant to have a 2d screen.
It DOES cover the front cams which some day will diminish quality. I didn't notice a change, nor do I take QUALITY photos with the front cam.
There is no sharp edges and it isn't catching on clothes or even finger swipes. The fit on mine is perfect.
The wings they provide really do aid in the install. I lined up one side and laid her down smooth.
Two thumbs up from this guy.

I was thinking of getting the GLAS.tR SLIM and the Slim Armor case. Some, and only some, of the reviews on Amazon have said that there was chipping and scratches on the GLAS.tR SLIM after a week. Did you get it from Amazon or Spigen? And what have your results been so far? Thanks.
I was a little on the fence about getting one, but I'd taken a look at some of the reviews on it, and with it being on sale at Amazon for only $10, I decided to give it a go.
I have to agree with OP across the board. Seems very good so far

Got mine from Amazon, looks as good as the day I put it on. I am careful though.
What some folks don't understand is that you can can take a screw driver to these screens and protectors and not get a scratch. But all it takes is one tiny grain of sand and it's ruined.
Wish we all could stop blaming the glass.
Mine is placed perfect, I have no snags or chips. Uag case helps with that too.

Mine had easy clean layer fading problem even the second day after installation.
Probably Spigen needs to have better QC.
So a little follow up. I have SOMEHOW taken a chip put of the side edge of this screen protector. I can honestly tell you that it had to have happened very easily. I'm pretty easy on my devices, so this had to have happened without much effort. I don't see any marks on the device anywhere at all. It hasn't spidered, so I'll keep it on for the time being
Edit.....
I won't be buying another one, even at $10
I've used Spigen Glas.Tr Nano/Slim way back when they were $34.99 and never had a problem with Spigen glass until the $9.99 V10 one. I got a small crack in mine after being on the phone for 2 days.
I just installed the IntelliArmor Glass HD and I like it a little better then the Spigen. It's a hair shorter on all sides then the spigen but the oleophobic coating is way better.
The only downside is it does not have the "Tabs" like the Spigen for install. Also, it's down the $8.99 on Amazon.
