1. Official Google Nexus 6P Case by Adopted
Which one is your favorite?? Also share more in replies.
I just received the Ringke Fusion case today. In my opinion it looks pretty cool and it offers what looks like a significant amount of protection without adding an excess amount of bulk to the device. I had a Spigen Slim Armor case on my Nexus 6, and I like the feel of it better than the Fusion. Kind of wish they made a Slim Armor case for the 6P as well. One good thing about the Ringke Fusion case though, is that it has a clear back. So it doesn't hide any of the 6P's natural beauty. Looks great with my Aluminum 6P and I imagine it will look great if I add a dbrand or slick wraps skin to the 6P as well, since the back of the case is transparent. I feel like I made a great choice for a case, especially considering it was the one I could get shipped to me the quickest from Amazon.

A bit misleading; the ToastMade wood cover is an adhesive skin (similar concept to dBrand and Slickwraps); it's not a case. Only difference is in the materials.

Agreed. And while the concept of a wood case sounds cool, this image from their website really turned me off. Looks kind of like a hack job. I'm not saying it is, or that there's a better way to surround a curvy phone with wood, but I don't like this.

I would call it a case / skin hybrid, as it's much thicker, and more protective than a skin @ ~1mm in thickness. We use high grade adhesives from 3M that keep the device Toasted, and they're easy to install / remove. Also, there's no need to worry about sand and other debris unknowingly getting caught inside your case and scratching your phone. :good:
Oh, and we'll have 6P install / removal video posted up later today or tomorrow.

I got in touch with the people at Carved, who make actual wood cases. The back is made of wood and polycarbonate (or rubber) frames the edges. They said that they're looking into making a case for the N6P, but nothing would be ready until next year.

The problem with real wood cases (rather than covers) is that they're extremely thick and make the phone even more of a challenge to use / fit in your pocket.
Also, cases allow sand and other debris to unknowingly get inside and scratch the device.

Those are scorelines laser etched into the wood, enabling it to wrap the device. The pictures do not do them justice. Also, they provide an amazing grip.

Not thick at all actually. I had a Carved case on my GS4 and it was one of the thinner cases I've owned. The wood they put on the back is cut thin. Their puzzle case was neat with different types of wood for each color.

I always buy a case before I buy my device (I'm just weird like that lol)... so I'm looking for a good protective case that doesn't add to much bulk to my S5. Preferably is raised a littl (to protect against screen cracking if it falls), and also camera and LED flash are protected as well on the back.
Thanks in advance to any suggestions!
I highly recommend the Urban Armor Gear cases. I had one on the S3/S4 and they are great. Protected it from many drops and adds very little bulk compared the amount of protection. Mine for the S5 should be here any minute now (on truck for delivery).
I use Body Glove. It's slim and protects all corners. Also, it doesn't interfere with the fingerprint scanner nor HRM.
Had otterbox, too bulky. Then found Spivey NEO Hybrid case for nexus 5, amazing case, slim yet very protective (dropped nexus yet only little scratch on case but not on phone). Now use Spigen Neo for this phone, check it out.
While you're checking out the Spigen web site, also take a look at their Slim Armor and Tough Armor cases.
I've got a Tough Armor case on the way through the glacial US postal service. Hopefully, it'll show up tomorrow like the tracking information indicates.
SO far I have narrowed it down to these 4 cases, but not sure on the color yet!! But if anyone has any more recommendations to make my decision tougher, I'm all for it!! Looking for the best case that won't add to much bulk, but will protect my screen/device from falls, and also not interfere with the fingerprint scanner as well!

+1 for the Urban Armor Gear. Heavy duty protection with minimal bulk.
Another for uag. Had mine waiting at home for me when I came back with my s5. Had one on my s3 and it took care of my phone

The Tough Armor is amazing! I got it tuesday, it's gorgeous and surprisingly slim. Actually makes the phone more comfortable to hold for games. I'll post some pics later. The Gunmetal one is the bomb on the charcoal s5.

I've tried all of these at 1 point or another... the thinnest and best protection is and will always be a tight TPU.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Mat...1846&sr=1-1&keywords=galaxy+s5+case+diztronic
i bought the Diztronic again, it is the thinnest case i know that actually protects against light drops. all the other onces look nice but i've cracked a few in my days, or they were just too bulky.

So I have the UAG case. But I am finding that NFC doesn't work as reliably and the finger sensor is very hard to swipe correctly with the case because of the lip around the case/phone. So I may be returning it.

I have the Trident Aegis which might be a good alternative for you as it has a soft flexible rubber lip on the bottom that flexes when you swipe your finger.

i got #3. its definitely thin that its doesnt even go past back camera but that part has its lil hump to protect it too
to me it makes phone feel more solid and looks alot better. i got the white s5 and white case
had #2 b4 on s4 and note3 and its definitely thicker
Protective case
I bought from T-Mobile Tech 21 Impactology and is very thin and protects great
I have the Spigen slim armor on my phone and love it. I hate thick cases and usually find the thinnest I can. I went on a chance and love this one. IT is a very tight fit and adds minimal bulk. My wife bought an incipio and now wants my case as it is a lot less bulkier.
Take a look at the otterbox commuter series.
http://www.amazon.com/Otterbox-Comm...3&sr=1-4&keywords=galaxy+s5+otterbox+commuter
I had the NeoHybrid for the S4. I loved it for the first month, but after that the paint started wearing off tremendously on the edges. It was an official Spigen directly from them, so I was not too thrilled with that. They don't seem to dye the plastic, they paint it. At that time, they were also charging around $29+ for the case.
Something to consider, as I doubt they changed this for the S5. I might give their Tough Armor a try, as it doesn't have the edges of the NeoHybrid, so the breakdown shouldn't be as severe.
Quite happy about the final result!

Did you put the skin on the case?

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.

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.

Can't wait to see what new types of cases are going to be released for the LG G5. What cases and accessories in general are you guys waiting for the most?
My favorites so far:

Otterbox, of course, but I may be buy the S7 .
Pure Gear Dualtek for me
We at Diztronic are doing 2 cases for it. The first being our Voyeur case, which can be seen on Amazon
The second will be a twist on our traditional matte TPU case. We're adding a brushed metal texture into the TPU, and different pattern on the sides of the case to increase grip. There is a new technique out there were we can take a laser to the inside of our molds and create all sorts of cool effects-- brushed metals, carbon fibers, woods, leathers, etc. Spigen used one on their Nexus 6P Rugged Armor case, it's a carbon fiber effect. Looking at the pictures you'd swear it was a carbon fiber inlay, but it's actually just a pattern laser etched into the mold. I'll post some concept renders for our LG G5 TPU Case next week.

It should be! For us, LG G4 was our top selling Android case last in 2015. The LG G5 looks very promising, especially if the battery really drops out the bottom like the leaks are showing. We've yet to see a metal unibody designed phone with a removable battery, and all signs are pointing towards the G5 being the first one (to my knowledge). On our CAD data for the phone, we can see there are 2 buttons on the left and right side of the phone, about an inch up from the bottom. Some manufacturers actually made holes in their cases there, but I'm betting that you press both of them in to the release the battery tray. So, not much point in making a hole for that, since you cant remove the battery with a case on it anyways.
OEM LG cases is best for me

EvolutiveLabs is currently experimenting with a design for a RhinoShield case (presumably a backless bumper case).
A RhinoShield case will be made for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7. We are experimenting on a new design for this device. If you are interested in knowing more, please do subscribe to this list and we will keep you updated once we have more information.
The current release date is September. Pre-Order will start later this August.
Anyone that's interested in being notified on the latest news/pre-order/etc.. can sign-up here:

Looks like a decent case. I'll be looking forward to it.
Do any other backless bumper cases exist? I never found one for the Note 5 and would like to for the 7. The back on a bumper case is pointless and just adds thickness.

Looks sweet. Though, I'd like at least like a thin back with the honeycomb pattern they advertise for some minor protection, since it's all glass on the back, too.
Im afraid of this cause what if it lands flat on jts back? No protection at all.
I thought the whole point of a bumper was to be raised on the front and back so it can land on flat surfaces on either side and not damage the front or back. That's what makes it a bumper and not a regular case.

Thinking about taking a razor blade to the back of one of these Ringke cases I got for $1 to see if I can make my own bumper case. If no one will make a real bumper, maybe we can at least find the fake bumper case that can be easily converted into a real bumper case.

I'll probably do likewise,the Poetic Affinity case comes to mind.
The EvoLutive Labs/RhinoShield bumper for the HTC 10 adds too much width in the grip.
Some complained about the stiffness of the buttons as well.
I have no problem w/the latter,but,I did find the added width was too much & mine ended up in the land of misfit phone accessories after 1-2 days of use,which was a bummer @ $30..............
This was my favorite case for the note 5, can't wait to try this out especially since they didn't make one for the SD Edge
Good news! The Ringke Fusion, Fusion Mirror, and Frame are all two different types of plastic glued together, so with some bending and a razor blade to start the cut, you can separate them and throw away the back pretty cleanly. I don't have my Note 7 yet to see if it still keeps the camera off the table, and I'm not sure how much I stretched it pulling them apart, but it looks to be exactly what I wanted. Picture attached. These were $1 or $2 with coupon on Amazon a week or two ago. The fourth one I have from Ringke, the Air, is all TPU with no clear line to cut through, so I'm not even going to attempt making that one backless.

I would imagine taking it out of your pockets will dislodge it from your make-shift bumper case

You are correct. The Fusion and Fusion Mirror were too flimsy on their own. The Frame case, however, with its plastic reinforcement wrapping around the TPU, is pretty decent. If you're going to modify a case to turn it into a backless bumper, I recommend only the Ringke Frame of those.

Have you tried it with the frame or just guessing? I'm very curious if this will work because I don't like cases, I prefer bumpers.

I'm with you. It looks good for sure. But because of the lack of back support, I'll have to pass.
Although looking forward to seeing the pics.
The Frame does work and is sturdy. I'll take a photo soon. Not sure what the advantage of back support is. We don't have front support. We have the lip sticking out on both sides to protect both equally.
I just ordered the Diztronic case from Amazon. Not set to be released until Nov 4, but since my phone isn't set to ship until the 23-25, it should be here in plenty of time.
So far this looks like like the best option to me.
I've used their cases for past nexus phones and they've always done well. Some movement a year in but overall thin and protect it without being bulky

I tried several cases, this is definitely my favorite. Very grippy and the buttons are so easy to push.
Does this that a textured inside or the air pocket corners?

I got mine last week. Great case as usual.
Best and most elegant phone case I've ever had. Now where's my full coverage screen protector?
I order this on Amazon last Saturday and got it Tuesday. It's a temporary case until something thinner comes out, but I agree it's the best option. It's a nice case, it's TOO bulking and very grippy (but not too much where I can't slide it in my pocket. Great fit and I recommend anyone who likes a thin case who is waiting for a CaliCase to get this in the mean time!

Mines super slick should of waited for pixlee one. Love the buttons on it though. But someone just said the parallax case is only .5mm thicker than the maxboost so I may get that instead.
I got this case as well. I really dislike the raised side lip it has, it makes it feel more bulky than I prefer. If it didn't have that raised side lip I would love this case.

I've gone through the Sparin case from Amazon and three Google cases, the clear, the silicon and a Live case. The Diztronic blows them all away in terms of actual protection from a very minimal form factor. The Sparin is a nice case, especially for $10, but it feels pretty flimsy when compared to the Diztronic. I had a D case with my N6 and am not at all surprised that I've sifted through other cases to land back in D's corner. The only thing I would probably trade it for is a really nicely done leather case (looking at you, Bellroy).

The Diztronic is too bulky??? I don't see how you'd possibly get a thinner TPU case. It'd be so thin it'd be useless, or you're approaching sticker protection.
I have the Diztronic and the similar Spigen Armor (no plastic, just TPU) and the Spigen's sides are slightly thicker, presumably with their "air" protection, but otherwise the cases are very similar in feel. Spigen has more "design" to it, including the carbon spot (which I personally dislike) but otherwise both cases are very similar.

Some people don't want a case at all but want to protect against bumps, scratches for example https://9to5toys.com/2014/10/29/thinnest-iphone-6-plus-cases-prevent-camera-wobble/

I posted on another thread about wanting something that doesn't protect against impact, just scuffs to the sides and back. I want something similar to The Veil by Caudable that is ultra thin.
So is it too grippy or slick..I've seen both comments. Also do the matte and pixlee ones feel the same
I just received my diztronic case. As usual it is top quality. I used them on my Nexus 5X, and to be honest, for quality non hardshell cases that are out soon after phone releases...they really are worth the money.

Q.) So is it too grippy or slick..I've seen both comments. Also do the matte and pixlee ones feel the same
A.) Honestly...Its pretty well balanced. I personally like it a BIT more grippy, but my experience with diztronic cases, is that the longer you ahve them your hand wears down the matte a TINY bit(not enough to SEE) and it becomes perfectly grippy.
Q.) Does this that a textured inside or the air pocket corners?
A.) no.
Will edit this post with any other questions about the case.
Just received my black pixlee case and it's my first Diztronic case and I love it! It's so minimal and classy.

I do not have any way to take pictures of it on the phone, but I do have my Nexus 5x, which fits exactly the same. To the point that when I reach into my bag to grab one,i don't realize which one I am holding for a good amount of time.
My favorite feature about them is the buttons though. It gives them this perfect tactile clicky feel that you don't get with anything else.
These are great cases. Just ordered my second one (different color)
