Hello!
Jen @ Cover-Up here. We've finally launched our real wood #WoodBack case for the 6P. It's available to pre-order as of today, and is due to ship from 25th January. We've combined a TPU and polycarbonate case with a hand-finished real wood panel, to give the look of real wood with added impact-resistant protection for your phone.
You can find the collection here: http://www.cover-up.com/collections/woodback-google-nexus-6p
Get 15% off your pre-order with "NEXUS6PXDA".
Any questions just shout!
Ordered the Cedar one myself. Anxiously awaiting it!
Ordered Carpathian elm burl. Thanks.

Same here.
What is not clear to me, or depicted as far as I can tell, is how the buttons are handled?
Judging by pictures it looks like the fingerprint cutout is quite narrow, and given the overall thickness of this case it looks like one will have to dive his finger deep into that hole in order to unlock the phone. Can you comment on this?
I would also like to see the buttons as this detail is missing on the pictures.
Other than that the cases look good.
Wow. Too cool! I'm gonna definitely have to get one of these soon. Thanks for the share op!

A wooden and plastic case for the aluminum phone. Now there's a concept.

They're fully covered by the case's TPU edges for extra protection, but still easily pressed. I hope these pictures help, but just shout if not - I can always get our photographer to take some better ones in the studio for you.

We've tested the case thoroughly here and found no problems with the access to the finger print scanner. The sensor itself seems to be so efficient that when holding the phone in front of you the tip of the index finger is more than sufficient to unlock it, and we've found this just as easy to do with the case on as without the case.
As per my previous post, you can see some extra pictures of the buttons here:

Very nice indeed.

Thanks, I can discern the buttons. Maybe one of the "multi angle" shots should include this?

Working on it as we speak @bench_strength Will let you know as soon as the new photos are up on our website.
If you could please post more photos in the hand like you had of the front and back and sides please. Anyway possible to include nexus engraving by custom request? Other companies offer this without posting on their website to go around copyright issues

Ordered a cedar case, and excited to receive it! Don't see many people with wood phone cases out on the street, so I'm glad that you've developed something for this phone.
Like @nexicon I, too, would have liked to have had the Nexus logo engraved by custom request. Toastmade, dbrand, and Slickwraps all offer this option (Toast by custom request) so I'm curious as to whether there's some especially obnoxious, UK-specific law preventing that?

Unfortunately whilst we can't speak for other companies, engraving the Nexus logo onto the case without Google's permission would be enough to constitute an infringement of Google's Nexus trademark and so (for the time being at least) it's not something that we're able to offer, even by custom request.

If you e-mail Carved customer support, you'll hear from them that they have no plans to make a case for the Nexus 6P.
Furthermore, both Carved and Cover-Up have two different versions of their cases: the Slim/Snap series (respectively) and the Traveler/Explorer series (respectively). If you compare the products (for their iPhone 6 lineup) they're literally identical (even down to the design of the rubber surrounding the wood back; I wouldn't even be surprised if they sourced the exact same components and materials). The former happens to be more minimalistic, while the latter offers more protection.
At least Cover-Up decided on making a case for the N6P; they're just only offering it in the Explorer version, since it's more versatile. Personally, I'm glad for this decision because the Slim/Snap series leave the top and bottom edges exposed, meaning less coverage against scratches and drops.
Ya thanks to know

Our #WoodBack cases for 6P are now ready! All pre-orders will ship later on today.
I have uploaded a very quick video of the case here. Please excuse the poor quality of the video, I hope to get our in-house photographer to create something a little better later this week but wanted to give you a sneak peek.
I've also added some extra photos. (This particular case is Bamboo.)
As ever, any questions just shout .
The link you provided directs to an old video of the iPhone 6 and galaxy S6.
The case seems to be as thick as the thickest part of the phone, I guess it's not possible to shape the wood to adhere the the phone's shape?
Is there a gap below the camera where the phone is thinner?

this looks like a great case; I placed my pre order today...Anyone have experience with this case?

This is great. I accidentally dropped my device while using the STM Cape case and it doesn't protect the bottom corners well. This looks like it will cover it up.

I've pre-ordered from then before. It's a bit like of a hit and miss. Last time they missed their arrival date by two weeks because their shipments of their stock didn't come in on time, but they're very friendly and responsive. They updated me with the next expected date as soon as it was available.

Wow, that looks like it provides great coverage! I guess you have to store the S-Pen separately though (doesn't seem like there is a slot for it)? I also wonder what it will feel like to write on it, regarding both the "touch-sensitive, water-resistant screen-guard" (and how that will feel with the S-Pen) and also with the raised case edges.

people who have gotten this case for other devices suggested that you pop out the screen guard, and use your own, so I have a new Spigen on mine, so I dont want the one that is on the case; plus, I am sure there is a slot for the spen; that would be a major problem if there isnt one...raised case edges are a good thing for putting the tablet face down...

I think it's a fall where you pull it out. It looks like all the ports have it and I think it's to protect openings from dust.

Wow.. this changes the Galaxy Note 8 into completely something else
Very nice. I much prefer non-portfolio style cases due to their immediate accessibility. But I also prefer one with a built-in stand for video viewing and this one seems to be the first one like that for the note that I've come across (and a more premium model at that.) Based on the reviews for other tablets this seems a good possibility. Added to my wishlist and I'll be eagerly checking this forum/thread for a review once it's available.
Otterbox has already said they have no plans for a Note 8.0 case unfortunately. Odd since the Note 8.0 seems to be selling very well (at least according to my local Best Buys) and people who would pay $400 for a premium tablet would seem the most likely to not balk a premium case. I know I wouldn't. Oh well....

This case looks just like what I was after. I got a cheap folio case to start with while I waited to find my ideal case. I like the rased bevel. wanted one like that to help prevent me clicking the capacitive buttons by mistake in landscape mode. The raised home button will also prevent me accidentally pushing that as well. Happens sometimes when playing multiplayer fps games.
I've still not decide if I'll get a screen guard or not. Dont intend on using the one provided though.
Look forward to your feedback. Not available until June 30th in the UK.

I had the same thought too when I first saw the case. I was happy to find out there is no need to store the stylus on the side - there is a slot for it in the case! As for writing on the screen protector, I haven't noticed any difference from writing on the Note 8.0 screen with the stylus. I posted a pic in another response if you're curious to see.

well, got this case yesterday, and I have to say its everything I had hoped for and more; sort of like an otterbox, with a built in stand, which works in portrait and landscape.
HD rubber around the screen edges, fully protect port openings, and even the camera has a flip off protector, which,even has a little "slot" that holds it back when you want to use the camera; very nice high end touches like that, and a very solid feel to it as well.
You insert it inside a plastic bottom frame, then snap the top cover over it, which has a very nice clear protector built into it, which, when used in conjunction with my current Spigen Ultra Clear, provides a fantastic surface to easily use my spen/holder on, giving you the identical feel as if you were writing on a legal pad, with a pen...very nice!
You then wrap the rubber cover around the frame, and after a few minutes of adjusting, you have basically a giant "otterbox" like protected tablet!!
Its probably not for eveyone, but I love holding the tablet in my hand, like a giant G-Note 2, and writing on it and using it now is so much nicer...I think it would easily survive a major fall, but dont ask me to try that!!
Definately more useful, and much better protection than any of these folio/notebook fabric covered cardboard cases that are all over the place..its just a little bulky for those with small hands...
Amazon price was 60% off the price from Poetic, so I would suggest you get if from Amazon if you are interested..

I was wondering if anyone could give the exact size of the case in inches. I am considering a swap to the note 8 from my nexus 7. Size is a concern because I keep it in my flight suit pocket. The Note 8 without a case is the same size in H and W as my nexus 7 with an otterbox installed. I was wondering how much extra size the poetic case adds. Thanks for the help!

thanks for posting this!:good:
Looking at the pictures and video is there any chance of the kick stand brace scratching the back of the note when it's folded? It appears to me metal. I'm close to ordering but I'm also nervous about the addition weight and thickness, how bad is it?
I think there used to be a thread on this, but I can't find it anymore. Here's my question:
I'm looking for a thin leather case for my S6. Not so much a wallet style case, sleeve, or one with a closure, just a protector for the back and sides of the device. My experience with PU or low-grade leather (<$20) isn't great, so I'm fine spending a little more money (>$50).
Ideally, it would be brown and available in the US. The options I've seen so far don't fit in with the color, price, or domestic availability. Any suggestions? If you're going to suggest these, I've already looked at them and they are a bust:
I'm an XDA noob, so I'm prevented from posting links, but I've looked at cases from Stilgut (can't order from Amazon US and potential returns to DE seem difficult), Sena (no back-only case for the S6), Vaja (not making a case for the S6), and Montblanc (if I'm gonna spend $110, I need one that is perfect, i.e., brown). None fit the bill.
Again, apologies if this is a duplicate thread. Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
P.S. As an aside, I'd consider a wooden case, but none of those (Carved, Toast, etc.) seem to be what I'm looking for either.
I'm interested in this as well.
The official Apple leather case for the iPhone is perfection for what I want. Unfortunately, that's one area that Samsung doesn't seem willing to take design queues from. I wouldn't mind paying 40/50 bucks if its THE only case id want/need.

Currently choosing between Galaxy S6 and iPhone 6. As silly as it might sound, a good leather (shell) case is one of my highest priorities.
I broke 3 iPhone 5's until I put the official leather case on it (I always disliked plasticky cases).
It added more grip, and just enough protection from average falls.
Ridiculous really. Choosing a $1000 piece of tech based on a $50 accessory. But that's just how it is.
Hopefully someone knows of something.
They haven't announced the S6 case yet but I have always been happy with with Vajacases - if you are willing to drop some extra cash. Here's one of the options for the S5: http://www.vajacases.com/galaxy-s5-leather-cases/premium-leather-grip
Edit: I see you mentioned Vaja is not making an S6 case. What is your source? It usually takes them a few months before the new models are ready.
There actually was a thread on this subject until recently, but when trying to find it now, I just realized it has inexplicably been deleted. Had a few good examples in it, but they're obviously not reachable now. I'll post the link here below in case the thread turns up again.

I contacted Vaja through their website back in April and they told me that it was under development. When I checked in last week, they said that a case for the S6 "is not currently being planned for production. We planned to develop a line in the past but I am afraid right now the project has been cancelled."
Whether that means it may show up later, who knows, but for now we're out of luck. Boo.
Yeah, no clue either why the other thread disappeared. It led me to a couple of versions of Apple-esque leather Galaxy S6 cases on eBay.
This one without a plastic fill in the camera/HRM cutout is the one that I already bought in dark blue for my black S6. In short:
Top and bottom are left uncovered
Fit is pretty good, no looseness anywhere really
The power + volume down buttons are both properly clicky
The volume up is pretty mushy, but not too bad
No interference with headphone jack or bottom USB port
The width of the case means that the camera module no longer touches the surface when laid on its back
It does NOT, however, appear to have any lift on the front so your screen will touch the surface when laid facedown
The last item was probably so that swiping in from the edge of the screen is still quite comfortable
Overall I'm pleased enough with the quality and feel of the PU leather cases that I might end up also trying out this slightly different version with plastic fill for the camera/HRM cutout . I'm not sure if it's unclear photos but it looks like this version has full coverage around at least the top of the bottom?
Anyhow, the one that I have feels a lot like the Apple Leather case I've tried out on iPhone 6, which is exactly what I was looking for.

Wow, thank you so much. The "more expensive one" is exactly what I am looking for. No cutouts on the side or anything. Looks perfect. Out of curiosity, how long did shipping take? I have the worst luck with that kind of thing, and it looks like it ships out of China.
Also, since you have the dark blue/black S6, can you throw up a few images for me?
I just ordered one of each... hopefully they arrive before S7....
Looks like one of these would work. Thanks for the tip.

Yeah, the buttons on the second cases I linked in my post look like they'll have better buttons. On mine it's like... slits on each end of the button section.
Shipping was surprisingly fast for me. I think I wanted like... just under two weeks? I was quoted a shipment time like 30+ days from purchase (which is insane), so I was pleasantly surprised when it showed up in normal China --> US shipment time.
If I can get a few minutes to myself at home tonight I'll try and snap a few choice pics of the dark blue on my black S6.
Though it's not without its tradeoffs, I think you'll be more than pleased with your order

I found a high end solution for you guys as well. Reviews on Bouletta from the Sony forums talk about them being some of the highest quality leather cases on the market.

Looks nice, but having the cut outs on the side just make it feel cheap to me...Even if it's of the highest quality

I know exactly what you mean. Originally I wanted an Xperia Z3, but there are literally no cases available without massive side cut-outs. The Z3 one is borderline ridiculous: http://www.bouletta.com/index.php?id_product=103&controller=product
The Galaxy S6 one isn't too bad. Not as good as the standard Apple one though unfortunately =\
I have the second case linked from ebay earlier. It is nowhere near leather feeling. I would say it feels more like a smoothed out velvet than anything. Also, the case does not really offer any protection for the front. It might stick out 1mm past the screen. Overall it is an okay case for the price, but if anyone wants a "leather" feel to a case, this is not the one for you. The buttons are not that great either. You lose most of the tactility from the keys with the case. I imagine over time they will break in and feel better, but after a week of use it doesn't feel great, but doesn't feel as bad as it did at first.

I found a high end solution for you guys as well. Reviews on Bouletta from the Sony forums talk about them being some of the highest quality leather cases on the market.

Am I missing something? I can't seem to find a price/how to buy? Is it a non-US site?. Also, the brown case looks grayish, no? (I'm legit color blind though, so that could just be my broken eyes)
Hey that bouletta case looks really nice. However, is the thickness of the back of the case enough so that the camera doesn't touch the surface the phone is placed on? I've seen many posts of people saying how they cracked the camera lenses after just putting the s6 on its back like on a table or something similar.
Thanks

You're right. I've sent them an email to find out.
ARRIVED!!
This one came in today : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Orig...Domain_0&var=570673785727&hash=item3f4af29e66
Gotta say... i'm insanely impressed. I can't imagine getting much closer to the official Apple Leather case than this. Sure, there is virtually no drop protection, but that's not what I'm into. Just need to keep it scratch free and get that camera bump evened out. I have attached some pics.
Biggest problem for most people will be lack of lip around the screen. It's pretty much flush with the aluminum on the device. I actually prefer that since I never ever place my device face down... so i'm able to still feel the slight curve to the glass.
The buttons are a little stiff right now - but I'm going to chalk that up to material. It'd be awesome if they wear in over time, but not a big deal if they don't. I'm thrilled with this thing for 8 bucks... could easily sell for 30 in US retail stores.
I also got the 5 dollar version and it's not nearly as nice. That two dollars makes all the difference in the world apparently.

Thanks for the pictures. It looks to be a little off around the bottom of the phone. Is it just the angle of the picture or is that the case?
I had purchased something like this for an iPhone 6 plus that I had and it just slightly didn't fit the phone. The cut out for the camera was off were it wouldn't sit flush with the back of the phone. I ended up just biting the bullet and paying the 50 odd bucks for the apple one. It would be nice if there was a decent quality real leather option, even if the price was higher. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Again thanks for the picture.
Going to have my N6P shortly and plans to have a nice case to have it get protected,however,most are now focusing on iPhone and Galaxy Mobile covers and get few choice from SGP and Amazon, so here please share your case founding and have fun.
I ordered this generic TPU case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GBA8AE?redirect=true&ref_=ya_st_dp_summary
It says it has shipped already.
I ordered the same but the clear option.
I ordered the MoKo case this afternoon, and it already shipped. Should be here Thursday. Just a placeholder until some nicer cases like Spigen come out.

Ultra Protective Case
I'll be waiting for the second batch of the device, because I want to see reviews, and to avoid any possible quality control issues that might initially exist. With this in mind, I obviously want to protect my investment, what with being a student on a budget. As such, I want to really protect my screen. In fact, just last week I shelled out an unplanned $120 to replace the screen on my S3 i9300, which fell face down in its ZeroLemon battery case. The screen wasn't cracked, but it was damaged in terms of the pixels. It started out with a purple spot, and got progressively worse overnight, to where it was totally black, and unusable. Does anyone know if a Ballistic, Trident, or UAG case will be made available for the 6P? Are there any other ideas as to the type of case I'm looking for, besides those I mentioned?
Thanks!

I sent an email to the manufacture today, I didn't yet get a response. One other buyer on Amazon (via a review) reported he got contacted back by the manufacture, and he pasted an email from them stating the photo is only a prototype. It makes sense as the case won't mail out for a full month. The month delay is OK with me because my phone won't be here before then.

The post shows a reply from the company saying those were pre release mock up images... They should update the images but as long as they don't really cover the LAF no biggie. Especially considering I got to order the case for $2!

I ended up getting this case, there has been confirmation that the LAF will not be blocked on the final version (source the manufacturer)

In the image attached to this post is the email I received back from the manufacture. As others have already posted their responses they got back also. Happy to know this case will work fully with the 6p and its laser focus.
I ordered a clear one that needs the opening trimmed (or sent back). I kind of like this one with red accents, looks like the opening is wide enough.

Posted this in another thread here earlier today, but figured I'd put it here since it pertains to the Verus case render:
Just FYI. It looks like Verus has updated the render on their Amazon listing: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GHQGM2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00.
So glad I picked this up for $2 a few days ago.
Got my clear case today: http://www.amazon.com/LK-Scratch-Re...443751243&sr=8-4&keywords=Nexus+6p+clear+case
Looks easy to make a template to cut an opening wide enough. It's crystal clear, may not effect IR anyway.
Edit: Manufactures just sent email. Said to toss what they shipped and will send replacement that doesn't block the laser focus in 2 weeks (before the 6P arrives).

My clear case from Amazon. Should be a simple exacto fix once I know how wide to cut. I'm going to love the 6P, only slightly wider than my N5, and who cares how long it is (especially with superior speakers on front!).

After using a case mate naked tough case on my nexus 6 I was looking at getting a case with a kick stand for media consumption and so far not seen any for the 6p. If anyone has seen one can you let me know. Iv ordered a cheap one for the time being to offer some protection but it is only meant as a temporary until I can find one I actually want and fits the bill for my needs

I've seen a few on Amazon with kickstands.

Do a deeper search than I did and I bet you'll find more. Most of these seem to be the extremely bulky case types, which don't interest me personally. One case I had for the Nexus 6 which had a kickstand but was also slim was the Seidio Surface case. http://www.seidioonline.com/motorola-nexus-6-surface-kickstand-case-garnet-red-p/csr3mtn6k-gr.htm You might want to contact them and see if they plan on making a N6P case. I'll vouch for Seidio - they make pretty good products. I've even deployed them with iPhones at work.
Thanks, none of those are on Amazon UK as far as I know but il keep looking

I saw something recently about how a lot of the early cases are blocking important parts of the sensor/antenna bar (the black bar on the back of the phone). Does anyone know how much of the bar needs to be exposed to not impede functionality?
And to the OP, I've had a kickstand case with my last two phones, and last two tablets, and I just can't go back to a device without it now. So thanks for starting this thread.

I have found that many of these are preproduction images, so I wouldn't rely on the current pictures to show me anything more than a rough idea of what the final product will generally look like. Several product images have already changed on Amazon's site.
Wait until the middle / end of October for all the companies to get the products finalized. This forum already has several threads with replies from manufacturers saying designs aren't final. They are just trying to ensure they get their piece of the pie on early and preorder case dollars when they list products this early on Amazon.

Gotcha, thanks for the info.
Real interested in the i-Blason case since I'm looking for a hybrid case with a kickstand that gives me peace of mind without Nexus protect.
However I emailed them aobut the laser AF problem and got this:
Dear Customer
I cannot guarantee that will not block it. I have not information concerning this problem.
Thank you

Might try again in a few days...
Once Seidio releases their cases the Surface should have a kickstand. Using that case now on my S4 and love it.

Was thinking of it but looks very cheap
Plastic stand and i hate the silicon wrapped in Plastic.
I've seen nicer ones that are more costly by reputable companies but none for 6p
Bought a tpu for now from tudia.... Nice and slim but would like to have a spare with kickstand so I'll wait a bit more to see if anything comes up

A case with a stand will be ultimately what I get.
As I am getting a silver phone rather than a black one, I would really love a crystal clear case with stand! Although I'm sure this will never happen.
If you guys are wondering the quality of the caseformers, I have one for my Note 5 and did a quick review on YouTube. See for yourself.

Doesn't it make it wobble when flat? Looked cool initially but I think it's a bit weird to carry 24/7 on such a nice phone. And I doubt it last forever if constantly removing it.
Thanks anyway though
I haven't received it yet, but I know that I will be using it as a kickstand, so what's the relevance of "lying flat"? It looks like if you stick it above center, but still out of the way of the Imprint sensor, it should sit on a table/desk at a very convenient angle in either orientation...

I just sometimes lay it flat and don't always use a kickstand. I enjoy it when I need it but not all the time.
I'd prefer a thin case that has a kickstand if and when needed.... But each use phone differently

I absolutely love it. I have 5 traditional cases for the Pixel that I was rotating before I got this. Even the slimmest, most minimal case can't match how light and thin the phone feels now.
The sizing is perfect. The one I got for the 6p a year ago didn't have any protection for the front edges of the phone. This one appropriately extends just far enough to protect all of the front edges, but not so far as to be uncomfortable in the hand. The glass screen protector extends probably 0.5mm father than the case.
Once you smell and feel the wood, you won't regret a purchase from Toastmade.
Just absolutely amazing.
I received my case, and man are the buttons really annoying. How is it a good idea to have the buttons flush with the case?
Also, execution seems a bit sloppy where the glossy and matt TPU meet on the right hand side of the case. There is a thin flap of plastic there, something I would expect from a TPU case you buy for a few dollars on eBay but not from Carved.
