Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for an honest/unbiased review.
I have been using the VRS DESIGN/Verus High Pro Shield for about a week. I am going to keep this review pretty straightforward.
Pros:
- Very classy on my Nexus 6P.
- Not bulky... in fact, it is rather slim for the amount of protection.
- Nice bumper that fits tight with perfect cut-outs.
- Incredible texture that offers more grip than any other TPU case that I have used previously.
Cons:
- Buttons do not provide adequate feedback. I love clicky button covers and this just isn't like that at all.
- Bumper can be pulled from the case rather easily and may not hold up in the long run... bumper may be too fragile.
Conclusion:
I would rate this case 8/10. I will continue using it, and that speaks highly of the quality and detail of the case. Even though this was a review unit, I would have quickly paid for this case based on the design, fit, and protection offered. Would I recommend this case? Absolutely! This case is affordable and looks like it costs $30+. I love this case now!
How about some pictures bro

Did they not send you the updated version of the case? I have this case in Champagne Gold and it doesn't have any of the cons that you have listed. I actually hate how snug the bumper is, makes it a pain in the ass to get off whenever I need to clean my phone(Germophobe). The only issue I have with this case is that the bumper seams to be a little too easily dented. Mine has two dents from just being in my TAC knee pockets.

Yep, I have the updated version of the case. To be more clear on the bumper being loose/easily pulled from the tpu, i should have said towards the bottom by the usb-c opening. I can definitely see this bumper as being easy to scratch too.

Ya know, now that you mentioned that it's at the bottom, I just looked at mine and I see that mine is separating as well. That is going to bug the heck out of me now, lol. In the front it is fine, but on the back it has quite a bit of space there. Looking at it closely, it's because the front side of the phone is larger than the backside where is curves going to the bottom. Talk about an oversight.
I loved this case. Until the plastic broke. I fell out of my hands while I was sitting about 2 feet onto laminate flooring and the bumper snapped off above the bottom right corner. Had it for a month and it was the only drop. Decided to give the poetic affinity case a try this time. I don't foresee it breaking, but it seems less hardy than the vrs. Also, I miss my red/black look of my vrs case vs the clear tpu.
A few close-up pictures please

Those cases look awesome, but all I hear about them is how the bumper is loose, or breaks easily. It's really a bummer, because I do think they look the best.

So my flat black tpu case by Diztronic came today and let me tell you it is hands down better than anything out there and I could not be more pleased. I am comparing this to the Rearth slim case I was using and before that I also had the Ebay S line case for a couple days and while that case is also tpu, it is truly ghetto compared to this Diztronic. The fit is perfect and while buttons are covered there is still little effort needed to push them unlike many tpu cases. The feel of the case on the phone is also on the premium side and the matte black back does not attract fingerprints either. The other great feature about this case is the slightly raised lip going around the screen which is just right for anyone wanting to play music/put their phone face down. All of this is had with virtually no added bulk either. I highly recommend this case and know you will be happy with it.

It definitely looks better than the "S" TPU case, but does it offer more protection in your opinion.
It seems from your pics the lips on the front are higher than the ones on the "S"?
How good is the fit? would you say it's tight? Does the case come off easily?
Looks good, might still purchase this, although it looks exactly the same as the I-Blason case I have on my N4 already.
Hows the call quality? People complained about the official N4 bumper ruining the microphone quality so I'm wondering if it happens with this too.
I have one of these on order myself.
Would you say the Diztronic is significantly better than the Ringke Rearth Slim case? I've got the Ringke case and it doesn't fit as tight as it could around the volume rocker, too much play for my liking. Also my girlfriend hates how the four corners stick up a little from the screen (to protect the screen if its face down) she says they poke her in the ear on phone calls... Wish I had bought two of the Diztronic cases now

I don't have a case at all and I have to position the phone in a certain position on my face for anyone to hear me as it is. If a case or bumper further negates from the call quality I am going to have to pass. Even though I already ordered this and it should be here soon.
1. The call quality is not affected I already had two calls with the case on and it sounds great.
2. The lip is raised a bit more than the S case but not overly done, it will not bother you at all
3. This case feels very good on the phone, it is easy to get off it your actually trying to take it off other that that there is no annoying flex from the tpu or anything like the cheap ones (S case)
4. This is much better that the rearth slim because having this on gives me the feeling of better protecting just by how it feels in the hand and protects the entire bezel which a slim case does not do.
I may order the Diztronic shell case when that come out next week too
I think the stock bumper is stupid anyways
Haven't tried any other case for the nexus 4.but this diztronic case is easily the highest quality tpu I've ever used... Feels great. Love it.

it's definitely not the same as the i-blason case. I have two i-blason and the diztronic. the diztronic is sooo much better. i used to use their case on my gnex. very good quality.
Got my case yesterday. It fits nicely, has a good feel and looks pretty good too. Doesn't really add much bulk. The seams on 2 corners on the other hand seem a bit shoddy and looks like it might peel away over time. Curious to know if anyone else's case is like that too. Will contact Diztronic and see what they say.
I'm debating whether I should purchase this case in black or the smoke color
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Just received mine as well, and YES THIS IS THE BEST CASE OUT THERE FOR THE N4 IMO
in every aspect, design, feel, protection this case is definitely the best, glad I bought this case.
Just got one. Great looking case and real nice feel. My XtremeGuard screen protector peels a bit on the corners. Any suggestions on screen protectors that wouldn't have this issue?

I would get the black one, I also thought about the smoke color since it allows you to see the nexus logo on the back which is pretty attractive. But the Distronic logo kinda overlayed the LG logo and that's a no-no for me. But since Distronic has a no-hassle free return policy, you can always return it if you're not satisfied with your purchase.
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the new Diztronic matte black TPU case and wanted to bring a full review to you all. This is a flexible TPU case as the name states, with a slight matte coating which adds good grip and repels unwanted fingerprints. The ports and cutouts are perfect, lining up well. The front is protected by a slight lay on the table design, featuring a contrasting glossy coating. This is an extremely high quality product, but is very affordable too, at only $12.50

Thanks for taking the time to post a review. Very well done. I have been contemplating getting this case for a few weeks. This helped me get a better look at it.
sent from my perfect 32GB Nexus 7
enjoyed your videos for the galaxy nexus. nice to see you continuing to do these kind of informative videos.
Loving the case so far. Very well made, look good and minimalistic.
Cheers guys! Thanks for the feedback
Always enjoy your reviews, man. Started watching you when I had a Gnex.
Great review... Mine should be here in sunny Vegas tomorrow!

nearly a year gone now! thanks for the support
I just received mine today and it is nicer than the one I bought for my galaxy nexus. That one was a good design but full of burrs around the edges. I melted them but that turned the area from matte to glossy. Its not really a knock against diztronic but rather a bad batch. I know cruzer and diztronic use the same factory (their own designs of course). Happily this one is awesome. Dulls the look of the phone a but fit finish and build quality as well as design are very nice. The design of the covered buttons is a really nice touch. Basically there is a raised dot inside the case over the button areas to give you a nice quality click when you use the buttons. This is pretty unique in my experience with tpu, as button feel is usually awful unless they are cut out completely.
My only question is whether my best skins ever protector will work with this case. This phone is getting replaced and has no protector, but these large lip type tpu cases tend to peel screen protectors unless they are "case fit." Can anyone confirm whether the protector peels up with this case?
I know diztronic does not recommend wet type unless case fit but I'd like to know from someone who actually has one of those bse protectors.

I had the initial batch of XG and then sent me a second batch. The second batch seems smaller and because of that, the case fits right over it. You have to maneuver it a tad to fall on top of the SP. I haven't used BSE since my Nexus One days lol, good SP too!

I'm using a vintage stylish back cover along a SGP tempered glass(9H) for the screen protection,it's good so far,for I'm not get used to the flip cover or wallet cover,it's not convenient as the brief cover as coming calls&messages,which makes it wired and also no good for video watching and daily usage. Besides, the case also with double wallet slot on the back for credit cards etc.,and two slots is enough. The slim design also enjoy another 10 scores, fine match the S6's thickness without make your device a clumsy one.

Is it genuine leather case? Doest it protect the camer (i.e. have a lip near camera or just thicker than the camera)? Is it soft enough inside or is it plastic inside?
I think I could go for it if there were no card holders)

Spiegen neo-hybrid here. Minimal bulk, great grip and feel with metal buttons. I myself feel that screen protectors are unnecessary anymore, as todays gorrila glass does well enough to protect from scratches. A screen protector isn't going to stop a drop-shatter anyways. The neo is the best looking and thinnest of the 5 cases I have, all while providing two-piece drop protection.

I have the same case now. It's ok but it makes my s6 to be the size of my Oneplus One want something less bulkier. As for the screen protectors, I might disagree - tempered glasses save your phone glass from shattering almost always.

I respect your view on tempered glass, I have heard a lot of good things about it. Unfortunately for me, it didnt work so well the one time I needed it to. As far as cases go, the hybrid is about as thin as a current generation (protective) case could be. If you want any thinner, why would you use a case at all?

That's an excellent question, sir!
Firstly, I beleive it will still save the back glass from shattering if I drop my phone (and I know I will drop it some day, always happens to me when after the honey moon I become more and more careless with the new toy).
Secondly, I afraid to much for the camera lens, which just waaaay too protruding to be safe, imo and also very weak according too AndroidAuthority review. (rly samsung? for 700 bucks your could not go for saphire glass on the protruding camera lens?)
My concerns with the camera lens are the same as yours, but we can't change the design of the S6. I don't think sapphire lense would help too much either. More costly, interferes with clarity, and still breaks.
I'm using the UAG case. Love this thing. Very very slim and provides the best protection for my phone out of all the cases I've owned. UAG cases might be on the top end of costs ($30-35) but it is built to last
I used a Spigen neo hybrid, but I ended up with a UAG as well
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TRG8KGO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This leather sleeve which fits perfectly. Pretty tight actually, so no risk of your phone falling out I guess. Great quality leather and finishing I must say, they're all handmade. Price is a bit steep but you do get what you pay for and honestly, if you spend this amount of money on a phone you might as well spend some money on protecting it.
I thought about buying on of those Spigen cases which look slick, but then I thought; Samsung finally made a phone with a finish worth looking at and holding in your hand when using it, why hide that in a case?

I just bought this case and do like it, but all of my Mediabridge microUSB cables don't fit in the opening on the bottom. Do you happen to know of any good high rated cables that fit well? Was debating getting a different case because of it that's possibly less bulky too.

Whats the slimmest case you guys have came across...all I basically want is scratch protection.
I dont like cases, but always try to find the slimmest one possible...for instance, totalle makes a case for the iphone called the scarf thats paper thin.
any comments will be appreciated.
thanks
I bought the adopted one and awaiting the spigen case for the 6P. I think if you want thin, the Google case/Adopted case will probably work best for you. It is really thin and makes the case more grippy although I have heard that some cases may block the laser autofocus on the camera. Ringke also offers a very thin case but I've only had it for my Xperia. If you are patient, wait a month and there should be some more detailed reviews on the cases. If not, out of the available cases, the Google ones seem to be the most popular thin cases. Wish you the best in your search.
Get a skin. Slickwraps has them for $10 and you can use "xda" for a discount code.

I too bought the Adopted case from google but it is not a slim case. it adds bulk so i'm looking for a new slim case. Thinking of getting one of these

http://www.amazon.com/DGtle-Anti-Sc...&qid=1447104935&sr=1-2&keywords=nexus+6p+slim
Try J&D tpu case from Amazon. I got it and its much thinner than I expected.
Can anybody comment on the J&D case vs Diztronic, Tudia, DGtle? If J&D truly is thinner than those, then I'll grab one as well.
Another slim one is the Tudia case on Amazon.
Im also looking for a super slim case. Something like an Orzly FlexiSlim (I hope they make it for the 6p, they did one for the 2014 Nexus 6) or a Caufabe Veil XT. Something .0.3mm or 0.5mm thin with a soft semitransparent finish. Has anyone found anything?
If you're going with the skin option, definitely go with dbrand, way better quality.

Agreed there on skins. If I go skin, I *always* go dbrand.
If you want something more than traditional TPU then the Verus case is a good option. It's the thinnest non-TPU case I've ever had for a phone (well, aside from the super thin hard plastic that always cracks after 3 weeks).
I went with this slim case from Kugi: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014ZJ0538
Thin enough for my liking (doesnt really add too much more to the phone), there are cutaways for the buttons (no actual rubber material on the buttons like the adopted case), and the top and bottom of the case are left open so you dont have to worry about a charger or headphone adapter being too big. And it's cheap.

I ordered and received one of these in gold. It does have a soft touch finish, but at the same time seems to show fingerprint smudges. It is pretty thin, although not as thin as the 0.01 inch or 0.35 mm type cases that are available for other phones. The overall finish/quality of is also somewhat cheap with the cutout for the camera assembly showing leftover plastic. It'll do for now.
You could go with a dBrand skin, or a Spigen Thin Fit or the IMAK case. Those look like the thinnest cases for the 6P so far.

Ah yeah, looks like you may have got a little unlucky with that cutout. I just double checked my cutouts and edges and can say mine look pretty clean cut. I do agree with the fingerprint smudges too, but oil on a matte finish (I went with matte black) is a bit expected so I cant complain too much about that.

Im also looking for a super slim case. Something like an Orzly FlexiSlim (I hope they make it for the 6p, they did one for the 2014 Nexus 6) or a Caufabe Veil XT. Something .0.3mm or 0.5mm thin with a soft semitransparent finish. Has anyone found anything?

Its available. I have had it on my 6p from day one. Not a bad case, and it was only $4.99 for early orders.

Any tried the Adopted vs DGtle? DGtle looks thinner, but curious before I commit to buying it

That's the Flexicase, not the Flexislim (yeah, I know!) - it's quite a bit thicker.

Oh really? I had no idea.
This case is very slim, I cant imagine it could get much thinner.
MoKo case is pretty thin. MUCH thinner than the Verus.
So I just received the Poetic Affinity clear case and I'm liking it!

It's clear, with a black bumper around it so that it sits on this small bumper rather than the clear portion. It's a very nice, tight fitting case. Phone feels nice and snug inside, which is a complaint I had about the Diztronic TPU in that the sides were loose and would bulge out, which was quite annoying.
this case fits nice and tight, and has a good grip. The sides have these bumps which are the same hard plastic that the case is made of, but they provide some great grip. def don't see myself dropping this from holding it on the sides, which I like.
the case itself seems to be of sturdy construction. it's a harder type fully clear mold, with a softer TPU type little exo skeleton type bumper that makes putting it down on a surface nice and soft. the lining around the screen is black and also a soft tpu like material, so if you put your phone face down on the table, again, it'll go down softly rather than hard like a fully hard case.
has all the standard ports, and they are all precisely cut: headphone jack, charge port, and the oval shape around the camera and motorola dimple are perfectly cut and look nice and even.
best thing is the case is super clear, so if you've got a nice leather or wood back, it'll shine right through. my moto x was the standard black back, but it still looks cool through this case.
overall, totally worth the money for a case that offers some decent protection, looks and feels good, and overall seems like it'll last with the phone!

The very same case but with clear bumpers if you want an overall clear look:
Looks great - thanks for the pictures! At $15 it certainly seems like a great deal! My Cruzerlite case seems shabby in front of it. I think I am going to have to ask someone to get it for me from the States.
What's the lip like? Sufficient in case of a face down drop? Is the corner protection better than the average case, like it seems in the pictures? Also, do you think that the clear part would get scuffed/ scratched over time and not look so great?
the lip isn't huge, but it's big enough to keep the protruding speakers off the surface it seems. corner protection looks good, and there's cushioning on the inside on the corners as well. the clear surface looks good, and isn't holding fingerprints too bad right now, maybe because it's brand new idk, but it may get scuffed up over time. I did notice a small scratch on mine.

I had this case on my note 5, but had to return it due to yellowing of the sides.. Kinda bummed about that

Thanks for this. Considering ordering this case now.
Hi @jayochs can you tell me what kind of tempered glass did you use on your Moto X Pure?
none. I have a normal cheapo screen protector. not a huge fan of tempered glass.

Case review
Absolutely without a doubt best low profile case for the moto you will find. I also have the i-Blason Halo Series and in comparison the Poetic smokes it by a long shot. Just wish I could have gotten the black and clear.
