I picked up the red version of this case on Amazon to check out, I paid for it myself so of course my reviews when to be honest. Lol
I have to say this is one of the best cases I've gotten so far for the Nexus 6P, it's not perfect, but it's damn good.
The case is almost the exact same size as the unicorn beetle case and almost fits in the holster from it. The sides are a tiny bit wider but if you have big hands like I do it's perfectly easy to hold.
The back is actually nicely finished although it is quite the fingerprint magnet on the red portion I've got.
The kickstand can be a little finicky but actually works well in either landscape orientation. There is no magnet in this kickstand so you won't have any problems there.
Some people in the reviews on Amazon were complaining about some sharp plastic or sprue on this case but mine is fantastic.
As you can see in the pictures of the built in screen protector (that sucks) pops out super easy, only one I've ever been able to get out without tearing.
The port covers work perfectly and best of all the buttons are absolutely fantastic and labeled. No mushy feeling, nice and clicky. The fingerprint reader recess also works great.
I have the phone with a tempered glass screen protector and also perfectly fine. No rattling, no moving, just great.
It goes together the same way as the unicorn beetle does, you put it into a frame and then the frame into the case. On this one the frame doesn't grab onto the phone so it can be a little difficult to get it into the outer case but I've managed to do it rather easily.
USB cables fit just fine in there and I would use this as my new daily case if it fit in any of my holsters which it does not. I'm now going to start looking for a leather or nylon holster to slip it into.
If you have small hands this case won't be fantastic because you'll only be gripping the slippery part. A little bit of texture would make it perfect and if you had a media blaster or take some time with some sandpaper you could turn this into that easily. The backplate pops off easily for all of you that want to put a metal plate behind it for your mounts.
I usually love the unicorn beetle cases and that's what I am rocking on my Nexus right now but the buttons are just way too mushy on there. I would give the unicorn beetle 7 out of 10 red zman points and I would give this case being reviewed 9 out of 10.

And a free like to anybody that can figure out which of these photos were taken with my old LG g3. Lol
I'm sorry I thought that the posts would all collapse if I did it quickly can someone on the staff move them or I can do it tomorrow.

Bought on eBay for $6.00 from someone in Brooklyn. Very simplistic. Adds a nice grip feel. Doesn't provide any impact protection from drops over two feet. I'm pretty sure about that statement. When otter box releases a commuter or defender I'll be switching. Overall for general wear and tear protection, the best $6 spent for this phone.

i have the same one added some Velcro to hook up my portable amp to it with ease
Suffered a nice fall today. Was walking looking at an email. Shoulder checked a massive column in a mall. Silver Bezel on bottom took a nice ding. Rest of phone is fine, no cracks to front or back. Ordered a diztronic case. If it wasn't for the exposed top and bottom of the case it would have been fine. It did however protect the two most important parts of the phone. So it gets an A- in its short time of use. Lesson learned, pay attention when walking.

I'm still waiting for Nillkin to release a TPU case! Surely these hard cases do nothing to dampen the impact?

Yes, especially when it hits marble. Its not bad but disheartening considering its less than 48 hours old. Fortunately, rooted 4.2.2 with the new boot loader and radio put a huge smile on my face and the diztronic will cover it up anyway. I'm fortunate that nothing broke, and its still just a phone.

Do you find the case slick/slippery to the touch/hold? I have one, but felt the plastic was too slick even with the pebbled surface and decided to switch to a ballistic. I do like it and if the phone wasn't covered in glass, I might have stuck with it.
Yeah it was a little slippery. that's how I ended up losing grip.

I love skins for my devices. It gives them a custom look while preventing scratches. That is why I jumped at the chance to receive a free EXO skin of my choice. They have quite a variety to choose from on their site. For me, it always comes down the the wood designs, this time I chose the wood grain bubinga. The skin itself also has a slight texture with the wood grain that is a wonderful added touch that makes it feel more true to life. I love dark wood looks, as I currently have a skinomi wood grain skin on my Asus Transformer Prime tablet and keyboard dock.
This is the first skin that I have ever applied with a hot air dryer, and it certainly helps form the skin to the back cover. However, the skin isn't perfect in it's coverage of the back. I lined up the camera, flash, and speaker holes perfectly. What was left was slightly off for the outer edge of the skin. The right side was too close to the edge, while there was still some white showing on the left side. It's not too bad since its barely a millimeter off, but it is definitely something that I noticed.
The rest of the skin went on smoothly, but I was surprised to notice that mine did not come with the home button piece. I most likely wouldn't have kept the piece on anyway depending on if it caused issues with the fingerprint scanner since I use it daily. The sides have stayed in place pretty well over the past few days without any movement or peeling of the edges. Another thing that is slightly off is the top edge of the screen cover. I have the speaker, camera, and sensors aligned properly, but the notification LED cutout is a little lower than where the light is.
The skin itself isn't too thick, but it does make swiping the fingerprint sensor a tiny bit more difficult. I was even able to put a case back on over the skin, albeit with a little difficulty. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the skin, and look forward to more skin choices from EXO skins in the future. Here's hoping this review fixes the slight errors on the back, as well as possibly introducing more wood grain choices.

I really wonder how it would look like when you use skin with wireless charger backcover... (it's a bit thicker than normal backcover) anyway thanks for the review, looking to buy one of these also... Any recommendations for the brand? (currently what I found is exo skin and slickwraps)

:good: looks good. But I'll have to give it a pass, judging on how prone i am dropping my phones...

That's what I would like to know since I wouldn't be able to get a case that works with the wireless back.
Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
I had one similar (Skinomi) and it doesn't quite fit the wireless back.
The sides are fine but it has trouble covering the corners, they "scrunch" so it's not an even/smooth fit. If you cut slits you maybe able to get it to fit.
I should add that because the sides are ridged and not smooth the side stickers have trouble staying in place if rubbed too much. Particularly around the top/bottom.
-Airax
thanks for the info... i guess i wont be buying it... gosh i hate how wireless charging backcover doesnt have any case >.>
Wow I would probably not have the patience to apply it so gingerly with hair dryers and it would be skewed!
Thanks for the review.
Everyone has their own taste. But yuck.
Reminds me of Walmart furniture with plastic stickon woodgrain.
Hey all, I received a Blue ZeroLemmon Razor Armor Case yesterday.

Everything was delivered in perfect condition, and was well packaged.
I wanted to compare it to one of my other cases for the phone, a White Ringke flex Slim Fusion Slim Armor.
The Ringkle, came with two plastic body shells and a screen protector. The two shells are nice but I have only used the textured one.
Ok. On to the comparison. First off, I can you tell the ZeroLemmon case rubber part is thicker, and provides more protection on all corners and edges of the phone.
This extra padding is great, and im getting use to the sharper corners and shape of the case to help hold the phone.
My Favorite feature so far is in the enginerring that went into the case. ALL THE PORTS AND HOLES LINE UP PERFECTLY! And the charging port is easy to access and open and easier than the Ringke.
Please respond to this post if you have any questions. Ill post some updates after I get a few days use out of it.
Thanks!
Update. Haven't had one single pocket dial since putting on the case. I'm not sure what color blue it is, but it matches my running gear.
..
Yeah, I am very happy with it. And do like the way it feels in my hand. I am going to try out my old case, the Ringke flex Slim Fusion Armor tomorrow, and see which one I like better.
I really do like the blue color, and have dropped my phone twice and it has been well protected.

Thanks for the comparison. We looking to see if this is the right amount of button pressure users will like. We look to apply this button pressure to other cases
The button pressure works just fine, and I like that they are bigger than the Ringke i compared it too.
The case also sits nicely around the edge of the bezel and leaves a nice border to allow easy screen shots with the gesture and for turning on the one handed mode
ZeroLemmon Case wins! I donated my old Ringke slim Armor to another s5 user, as the ZeroLemmon case is my choice.
The phone just feels better in my hand, and a better charging port access, plus i really like the color.
Cool! We are glad the pressure works out on the button. we have been tuning the case buttons for all our products to provide uniform pressures
I got this case on amazon for $10.99. It comes with a mediocre screen protector.
The case itself is extremely light and fits around the phone securely. It covers every edge which is nice for these light shell cases. The design is similar to OEM look.
The feel is a little slick but better than the phone metal body. I wish it were more rubbery like other slim cases I've had before.
The case I got was gold.

I have the clear one. Love it. It's the only super slim case case I could find that covers all sides and provides a small lip for face down lay on the table protection.
Edit: the black one has a soft touch feel BTW. I have that one on my M8.[emoji16]

Thanks! That's good to know. I was debating on whether to get black or gold and just randomly chose gold.
I wish the screen protector it came with was larger. It doesn't cover the entire surface and it's a weird size in that it doesnt fit the actual screen part of the phone either.

So true! I've placed many screen protectors on phones over the years and this one was by far the worst. It just didn't fit right at all I had to trash it. But it was free so I can't complain too much. I prefer glass ones now anyway.

I had gotten the clear one, but I don't recommend it. The cutout for the camera flash is too close, and since the case is clear, the flash will reflect and cause a glare in your photos. The black and gold ones probably don't have this problem though.
Looks really sleek and I kinda like the gold one however it does look like the Huawei Mate 7. Have held this phone with this case and it sure was very light and slim. I agree that it would've been better if the feel is a little more rubbery because I am not that comfortable holding the phone with that case.
I bought this case last month when the phone first came out. I bought the clear one and it was very slim and looked very sharp. This past weekend while walking through a parking lot I went to pull my phone out of my pocket and literally threw it up in the air and it took about a 6 foot bounce off the pavement. The corner of the Ringke case is broken off but there isn't one scratch on my phone.
Now you expect a giant brick of a case like the otterbox to survive these types of falls but I don't expect an Ultra thin case to survive and I was very impressed it was able to protect my phone. Its a good case.
I would'nt had bought this case if I knew it was this slippery lol
I have one in clear and like the way it does not add bulk to the phone at all. You feel like you are holding just the phone and the clear case really shows off the two tone.
Expecting my Pixel XL next week and I found this last night on Amazon for just $0.99 w/ free shipping. Must be a promotional price.
Their iPhone and S7 cases are around $8-$10 and come with decent reviews. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is looking for a backup/alternative case option. Anyone have any experience with this case or this brand?
I'll post pics when mine arrives.
I ordered this as well. Looking forward to it. I couldn't decide on a case so I chose this for use in the meantime. The pics look very nice. Now I just need a phone.
Case review
Got it in the mail today. Came in a fairly standard non-descript zip-lock bag. Here are my first impressions and some pictures.
Look/feel: The fit is excellent. Nice soft touch back. The carbon fibre accents aren't to everyone's taste but the sides provide a really good amount of grip because of them. The case is fairly slim and is no bigger than my Ringke fusion (which I love). One thing to note: the back of the case is flush, unlike others which have raised bumps on the corners to prevent the back of the case from getting scratched up when laid down. So I don't know how the soft touch back will hold up with time.
Protection: It's thicker around the corners which means it should provide a good amount of protection in case of a drop. I ain't doing no drop test though. There is a good lip around the front which will let you lay it face down without scratching the front glass even with a tempered glass screen protector. The camera lens is nicely recessed and shouldn't get damaged when laying the phone down.
Buttons: Buttons are really not good at all. They are hard to press with little to no feedback - my only cases for comparison are the Diztronic and Ringke fusion which are both known to have excellent buttons. Most cases now have slits cut on either side of the buttons which vastly improves their "clickyness" but this case doesn't. You could probably cut some slits yourself but I haven't tried this yet. There's also no difference in the texture of the power vs volume buttons. A few ridges on the power button would have been nice to allow for tactile differentiation.
Openings: All openings are very accurate but the USB opening is a little on the small side. My charger fits fine but my third party A to C cable does not. Headphone opening is round and with most newer headphones should be fine but my old Sennheisers (with the larger plug) won't fit without an adaptor - this shouldn't be a deal breaker. There is one large cut-out for the camera/flash/focus so it shouldn't have problems focusing. The fingerprint scanner opening is nice and large which is good for the swipe gestures. The speaker cut outs are fine. One more thing: as with most cases the USB cut out is somewhat sharp and prolonged resting on your pinky may cause discomfort - a hair better than my Ringke fusion but not ideal. I wish more manufacturers would pay attention to this.
tl;dr: Basically a decent case but let down by very poor button feedback and a slightly small USB opening. Also the carbon fibre look is not for everyone. Not going to replace my Ringke fusion any time soon.
Cheers!
