Extremely happy. Case fits my phone perfect. The cut outs are spot on however I wish the nexus scanner were wider however I'm sure it's something I will get use to.
The case makes the phone feel a lot more solid and not as fragile as it once did. My phone always felt like it was one drop away from being destroyed completely. Spigen did well by not adding a lot of weight to the phone and having the phones buttons cut out well but not perfect. There's not much separation between the volume up and down. It now feels like one large button. The headphone, camera, rear mic and charger are cut out clean with enough space.
The lip between the phone screen and case are perfect where I feel comfortable placing the phone on its screen side and not worry about it being scratched. The lip isn't so large that you feel this huge separation between phone and case.
9/10 imo. Hope this helps. Ask any questions you need.

Any way you can take pics? Also, how soft is the tpu material? I've heard it called stiff by some.

There are 2 parts, the back is hard but the top, bottom, sides and corners are all softer and rubbery to absorb shock.
Tyvm! When I first saw this case I thought it was kind of ugly. It grew on me to the point I am actually looking forward to this one more than any of the others I already have.

Is that a hairline crack on the bottom right corner of the cutout for the fingerprint scanner? It's faint so I can't really tell.

I literally have less anxiety knowing my phone has a case now. I may contact spigen but I am not that anal. Plus I dont want to go without a case again.
Anyone know how this compares to the Ringke Fusion clear case? I thought they were exactly the same at first, but it looks like the Spigen leaves the whole visor exposed, while the Ringke only has a small cutout. I had to return my Ringke to Amazon because the TPU had a medium sized tear in the corner. I'm wondering if I should get this instead.

Yup. I got a crack in mine too. Probably how its molded. I spent a couple minutes trying to get it off thinking it was a smudge.
Spigen. They are top notch and you can't go wrong with them. I surely wouldn't let the crack stop you. I don't believe it effects the integrity of the case doing its job

Out shouldn't, Spigen cases have some of the best cutouts and Ive never had any issues with it on their tough armor that I'm using now. The cutout is likely the same size as their other case which would make it ~14.45mm according to my caliper. It's the perfect size in my opinion

If they put out a Slim Armor or Neo Hybrid, I'd buy them! Their "shimmery white" color on the Nexus 6 case was amazing! It was like an iridescent white. Very cool. The Frost N6P would look so damn sexy in one like that.

Over at reddit some users are seeing that line too:
reddit.com/r/Nexus6P/comments/3sl3iu/just_got_the_spigen_ultra_hybrid_crystal_clear
Interstingly, in the reddit OP's imgur album you can clearly see that there is no crack/scratch before the case was installed. In the later photos the crack appears when the case is on the phone.
Direct link to imgur album: imgur.com/a/pLn4g
Im guessing that the tension introduced to the case when snapping it onto the phone is causing the crack to appear. However, from the few cases I've seen it seems that so far these cases have the exact same small crack at the same position, so it may could be there on purpose. Only the guys at Spigen will know for sure.
I experienced the same hairline crack and contacted Spigen's CS team. They're helpful and sent out a replacement one for me. If you're willing to deal with the short wait time, then i'd say go for it.

If you are a fan of SPIGEN cases, you will definitely want to check out the Slim Armor. It offers much more protection than the Bounce and Ultra Fit, while remaining slim and pocketable. It features a dual layer design that includes an inner TPU layer and an outer hard shell. Consider it SPIGEN's version of the Otterbox Commuter. It is offered in five colors and runs about $25.
wow, thank you for the review.
awesome
Such horses*** that they made the lip too small to provide any real protection for the phone if it falls on the front side.
WTF were they thinking?
Even though I got mine on a price error for $12.50 I'll probably just return it now...

I don't go through the inconvenience of a case to improve the grip of my phone. I use a case so that if I drop my phone it has side, back, AND FRONT protection so that the screen doesn't shatter... which the slim armor doesn't.

Again, it's called the "Slim Armor" for a reason. It was designed to provide a decent level of protection while staying slim. It might not be the case for you, but that doesn't make it a bad case.
Thanks for making this dude. Mine should be here tomorrow!

To anyone who received their Slim Armor already, are you having issues with the responsiveness of the volume rocker buttons and the power button? I saw in another thread on here, someone was having issues with their buttons, and now it has me worried since I ordered 2 of these cases.
I pre ordered 3 slim armor cases from Amazon and they ship it to me yesterday!

Yes, all buttons work fine. They feel pretty soft, no "clicky" feeling, but they haven't missed a press yet. I have also had no issues with buttons being pressed accidentally when put in my pocket or while riding in my pocket that I've noticed either.

I have to say, one of the first things I noticed is a lack of lip. Mine is especially bad because I am using a Glas.T Slim screen protector, so there is essentially no lip at all, despite the claims on the image. Definitely one of the few downsides of this case, imo, with the other significant downside being that the polycarbonate shell, on the Soul Black variant at least, is a fingerprint magnet. Which is really unfortunate, considering the front side is very resistant from the Glas.T.
Does it get scratched? I want to get the white one but afraid it would get scratches and black marks/lines easily. Can you post pictures of its current status? Scratched or not and how many days used?
Has anyone found an ultra slim soft semi-transparent case for the 6p? something like 0.3mm or 0.5mm like this:
ORZLY - "FlexiSlim"
or
SHUMURI - "Slim"
or
CAUDABE - "Veil XT"
or
PEEL - "Case"
I would post a link to all those examples but I cant post links yet.
All these have a soft matte finish with all around coverage (hate the ones that are cut out at the bottom and top) and a semi transparent finish that I think would look great. They would still show off the back of the 6p without fully covering it. Any help finding something like this?
I think a smoke case similar like the ones above would look great with the graphite 6p and a tempered glass screen protector. Almost fully naked 6p but with some protection.
Uhh, nope. Haven't seen anything that thin with out it being hard PC. These are soft TPU, but no clue on thickness.

Thanks for those suggestions, had already looked at all those. Don't exactly fit the bill of what I'm looking for. Look fairly thick. Since Orzly made a 0.5mm case for last year's nexus 6, hopefully they make one for the 6p.

That one looks good except that it has the top and bottom open. Hate that. It digs into your fingers when holding it and resting the bottom of the phone on your pinky when using it.
Still searching for something like Veil XT or Peel
Any luck finding anything?
I had the Peel on my iphone and it was absolutely slick but I doubt peel or caudabe will make one for the nex :/
Just got to wait for the flexislim i guess, which will probably be the next best thing...if they do decide to make one of course
Yeah I'm also looking for something like this, but it seems out of the 4 brands mentioned in the OP, only the Orzly has any chance of being available in the future. The other 3 only make Apple cases.
Contacted Orzly yesterday. Looks like we're not getting the flexislim

Oh! So close. Would there be one that does have the sensor cutout? I'm looking for one of these hard cases that cover the bump glass (unlike the Spigen one) and if they're translucent, I want matte.
I have been searching around and the only bumper I can find for this phone is from RhinoShield. Does anyone have any links to other brands/colors/styles that are available for the Pixel XL?
I currently have a $2 bumper on my S6 from China that honestly has been great but I can't find this exact one from that supplier.
Thank you in advance.
LOL! I think I have spent more time trying to find a backless bumper for this phone than the phone itself. Unfortunately it's been fruitless for me, none other than that Rhino, and that's the one I will buy later anyway.
Please do post here if there are other backless bumpers available for this phone, there are some people like me, and OP probably who just can't digest them full body cases which look awful.
Same here. I really want to add a bumper as well but am hoping for something a tiny bit smaller than the Rhino. I wouldn't mind finding a machined metal one to go along with the brushed titanium skin that I have on my Pixel.
Pixel XL Rhino Guard
I have the Rhino Guard on my Pixel Xl and I really like it. haven't dropped it to test it, but it looks sturdy. However, there are times that I would like a "lite" version of it....I've looked all over, but nothing yet.....
Ended up getting the Rhino and am satisfied with it overall. Agree it could be a little smaller but it's fine.
I kept my dbrand skin on and damaged the skin slightly while putting on the bumper over the final corner. Based on other posts I've seen i was expecting this issue. I just carefully cut the hanging piece of vinyl and got the bumper on without any noticable damage to the skin while the bumper stays on. Only if I take the bumper off will a portion of the skin be missing on the edge and corner.

I got that bumper that you linked and I would say I'm satisfied for the most part. Biggest issue is that the Pixel is a wedge shape so part of the top portion of the back side sticks out while the bottom part is covered by the case. I'm also using a Spigen tempered glass protector and the lip of the bumper case still goes above the entire tempered glass which is great. The buttons on the side are metalish so they're okay. They feel a little bit more mushier with the case on but I have to say that it the buttons weren't THAT tactile to begin with.
In terms of overall feel, it feels a lot wider even though it is just a bumper case and the metal edges makes it feel a lot more premium than plastic or rubber would. The cuts on the bumper are a bit sharp but after a week I noticed they became a lot more dull and rounded.
Overall 7/10, fairly satisfied with the purchase even though the top of the phone pops out a bit lol

Received the bumper today. I have only had it on for about an hour. I know the signal well around my house and the yard and I can't say I see a difference. Quality isn't too bad and fitment is OK. The case adds very little to the size of the phone. The volume buttons are clicky but the power button isn't as clicky, although it isn't too bad. There is no lip to protect the back so when you put your phone down, the entire back sits on the surface you put your phone down on. There is a tiny lip on the front though for those who put their phones down screen first.
I need to use it in an every day environment for any other opinions. Here are some pictures.

How well does it slide into your pocket with bumper on?
So first off loving my 1+6 (8/128). Super fast and just plain awesome! Puts my S8+ in the dust
But my main reason for this post is about the included phone case that came with the phone. I haven't seen anyone mention it on here, so wasn't sure if anyone was aware. But inside the box the the phone is attached to once you unbox it, there is a basic style phone case inside. It's nothing fancy, but it's a case. And it's FREE. I actually like it, and was so glad it was there as I didn't want to wait several days for a case to be ordered and delivered. Granted, I completely bypassed that part of the unboxing as it usually just includes the "paperwork" that nobody reads. But after a day, I was hurting for protection on my phone. Always carefully putting it down somewhere where it wouldn't slide and scratch the backing. Or on something super soft. So, I just so happened to re-open the box and look inside and to my surprise, there was a case.
So, this phone is not only awesome in speed and performance (minus a bit of battery issues at the moment), but they also include a pre-attached screen protector AND a phone case! WOW...hats off to you OnePlus! More OEMs should be taking a page out of your book...ESPECIALLY for the prices we are asked to pay for these "premium" phones.
It's a high quality case and I like it a lot.
I knew about the free case inside the box but I bought other 2 cases from Oneplus, I like the one from the package more.
It doesn't suck, and I'm glad not to have to go naked with a glass phone while I wait for a real case from UAG. Nice gesture from OP, though these TPU cases cost about 50 cents to make.
Compared to other TPU cases ain't bad.
I jsut hate transparent TPU cases, with dust getting between the case and the phone
I really like it for indoor environment, pretty slim, grippy, light weight raised bezels, especially on corners, good quality material and air bags on corners
I don't like it. But I don't like gel cases full stop. They're too sticky for me. I've bought the silicone case though which is amazing.
Indeed, I was glad to see one included, though I did know about it beforehand as it was listed in the "What's inside the box" portion of the web site. I am putting on a rugged case in a couple of weeks but for now am happy my OP6 is protected to some degree.
Uh... They've been including a case since the 5T and have had the even pre applied even protector for quite a while now. And I would suggest getting the nylon bumper case it's much safer and doesn't make the device bulky. Didn't look through the whole box lmao.
Let me share my OP6 experience. I used the included case for a good 3 days and I think it's a decent option. Coming from OnePlus One, I decided to buy the sandstone back case for my OP6 and boy oh boy, it's premium! Although there is compromise with safety as it doesn't wrap up the phone completely but for someone like me who doesn't drop his phone much, this premium case if pure gold! Totally recommended ♥
Edit: Adds zero bulk to the phone, fits like a glove and even covers the camera bump with ease. As I've already mentioned a few times before, it feels and looks premium!
it's a good case, i'd just prefer a black rim because it looks a bit grayish from the front while the back looks grat transparent.
however, it's not only free, it's also decent ?
I have the silk white and when sunlight hits the case the whole surrounded areas of the phone glow a pinkish light. Super cool effect.
Is the camera bump really protected? I've been using the included case for a couple of days and I cannot tell for sure if it does. I really love slim cases as dropping the phone is quite improbable in my case, but getting the camera glass scratched for putting the phone on a table would be a bummer.

I was also wondering this, I tried it on a glass table and looked from underneath and I would say the camera glass is not protected by the stock case. I wonder if it would be the same case with the karbon bumper

My search for the same answer brought me here. It looks like it's flush with the case but it's so close it's hard to tell. The case is thin and grippy and the buttons are easier to press compared to the nylon case. If I knew the camera was protected I would use it as my main case.

Thanks for that info. I guess I won't use this case on a regular.
I prefer cases that are as slim as possible. The phone is big already, and adding even more bulk with a sturdy case makes it even more cumbersome. I'm considering other choices as I don't want the camera to get scratches, but I haven't seen transparent/flexible with enough thickness to guarantee camera protection. OP cases are also compatible with the tempered glass, so I guess I'll have to go with one of the official cases (have an unopened sandstone, but again, I don't know how it fares regarding the camera).

Uh... They've been including a case since the 5T and have had the even pre applied even protector for quite a while now. And I would suggest getting the nylon bumper case it's much safer and doesn't make the device bulky. Didn't look through the whole box lmao.

Yep that's indeed the case
Didn't realize it until I checked the box when I selling the 5T. Then I realized I had one with the 6 as well. Definitely great that both a pre-applied protector and a case are included in the box.

I was also wondering this, I tried it on a glass table and looked from underneath and I would say the camera glass is not protected by the stock case. I wonder if it would be the same case with the karbon bumper

I usually protect the lens with Dbrands along with the body of the phone. You can also instead opt for lens glass protectors which can be purchased pretty cheaply.
Where can I buy this case?
Would love to know this as well. I've been thinking of buying the same thing with the same colour and I've never been able to find one
Hi all, I bought the red OP6 a couple of weeks ago and have been using the clear case that was included. I have some mixed feelings about it, the positives for me are the raised corners to protect the screen (I just wish they would have done something similar for the camera), all buttons work perfectly and is clear to show off the amazing red color. I just have one negative issue which for me is very annoying, just at the middle in the back it sticks to the phone like if it is wet, which looks very bad, and creates the rainbow effect to the sides. So with this in mind, I am looking for a new case which hopefully doesn't have this issue.
Which would be the most recommended? And if any of you are using them please post some pics, I can´t seem to find any of the red OP6 in a case.
Thanks guys!

I've been using this with my OP6 with carbon fiber back skin. The sides are black and have grips and the back is totally clear and the fit is perfect.

Pretty unclear and confusing as their images show the volume switch on the wrong side Also don't think it would do much in the way of protection.

It's not bad at all. There are cases with higher raised edges but the case is pretty nice and does offer decent protection. The Ringke fusion is also a great option.

This case looks good! Yes, I have been eyeing the Ringke, although I have read in several posts that it scratches very easily, is this true? And dothis Orzly scratches as well?

There are little nubs on each corner of the Ringke to prevent it from hitting the desk or table when you put it down which eliminates a lot of the scratching. I used mine for a week and don't see any scratches in it. In the second to last photo the Orzly is on the left and Ringke is on the right. The last photos is the Ringke on the phone.
I have the Ringke clear also *I'm kind of a horder with cases lol* and because of the back being such a hard plastic it has grazes all over it. Dunno if its from being in the pocket with something else or whatever really. Also the cut out for the volume notch is totally off placement. I just can't find one that I'm like wow awesome atm. Although the Spigen case is pretty dam good but I have a dbrand skin on and it isn't a clear case unfortunately as you also would like. Would you consider a bumper case like Rhinoshields? I am awaiting mine to try out.

The Rhinoshield looks similar to the Orzly. I'm also a case hoarder and have 7 cases for the OP6. Every time a new one comes out that looks good I buy it. So far the Orzly is my favorite.
i dont think you should use a case on a red oneplus but no doubt the official red case is nice but my most used case if the nylon case which is so damn perfect... looks nice but also adds lots of grip and protection
Check Ringke Fusion case

Would not recommend it. I bought it, and the back doesn't sit close enough to the phone. At the camera cut-out there is about 1-2mm of space between the back of the case and the phone. If u don't have any skin on it you will scratch the back of your phone from all the dust and partials that can get through it.
Recommend these for the RED OP6. I own the first one.
# Good Quality. Fits well.
# Rubberised in and out.
# No room on the inside to cause scratches.
# Transparent Back.
# Decent lip on the front. Not the best raise, but certainly helps when flipping the phone over without having the screen touch the surface. Might be a problem for phone with a tempered glass. Check comments on Amazon for more info.

Thanks for the feedback, I too heard that the scratches in the Ringke came from evryday use and just having it in your pocket, whic is what worries me.
I do want to try the Rhinoshields bumper, I had one in my iPhone and an S7 and really liked them, but I am not sure how it would look since there is only black or white, and I think it takes away from the red phone aesthetics.
The Supcase might be the one, it looks pretty cool, except maybe for the black bumper. If ti were red or clear it would be a total winner.
Anyone has any experience with the Nillkin Nature Series? It looks nice !

@angelmex check this out might be useful. All clear back cases but with red edges could look cool:

Thats very true, my ringke fusion get all scratchy and I just kept my phone in my pocket. To cover the damage of ringke i covered it with the carbon fibre skin and now it looks more like a bumper from oneplus except for the logo.
nylon case is best as for me

getting mine tomorrow! how does it fare? i usually have a military grade case and as an added security, i stick one of those ring things to hold it with finger securely.
But since it has a nylon back, i cant do that, i hope its really protective since i drop my phone alot :laugh:
i might be getting a clear case in a few weeks, i feel it is cruel to hide this beautiful Red beast.
