Bend-resistant case? - Nexus 6P Accessories

Hi all.
My 6P has developed a deformity on the case next to the volume buttons as it's bent slightly. It's not massively noticeable however before it gets any worse I'd like a case that is bend-resistant. Any suggestions?

Yeah that was crazy when I saw that. Amazon apparently doesn't have any black ones so the price was from 3rd party suppliers charging that much. Lol.

Yeah, I might try their bumper. The Atmosphere case doesn't look like it would do much for protection, just looks like some thin plastic and nothing to absorb shock if it was dropped?
If I get any case I want something that incorporates a bumper with a hard and clear backing to it,

Yeah, I seen a case from Spigen but made for other phones.
I have the full body screen protector stuff but I want the hard clear case on the back too, just to absorb some shock since it's glass on the back.
A bumper will have to do until then.
They look really cool but Dec 30.
I hate how Exact-Deal always raises the prices, even when they say they'll stay the same. (Now 5.95 and 6.95 USD each)

I don't think they'd be able to do that since we already paid for the cases.
Hmm.. too bad they don't have a black/black bumper or black/clear atmosphere case. Personally, I feel the combination with gray totally takes away from the beauty of the phone; it looks ugly. Just my opinion! The price is nice minus the shipping date.

The color looks really bad
I dunno... Compared to the Google bumper case, the render of these look kind of crappy. Either way, I'll look forward to the review. I've stop buying cases and am waiting for the Google bumper to come back in stock. Two disappointing cases is enough for me for now...
they couldve made it all black. not that grey would add to the design anyways...
Been waiting for a reasonably priced bumper. I've been checking ebay and amazon religiously since I ordered my N4. Thanks for the heads up on this. I also ordered the Poetic hardback flip case and the Poetic slim flip case. They'll have to do until this comes in or ebay has aluminum bumpers!
I had the atmosphere on my i5 and had 0 issues. Awesome case too.
The i5 scratched easy in general due to the crappy anodized aluminum

Urban Armor Gear Case drop test & lip Comparioson | By Snntec

Decided to seek out a more rugged case For my galaxy S4, and stumbled upon the UAG(Urban Armor Case). Though this case does add bulk, i was extremely confident with my phone taking a fall. I even conducted a small drop test in this video. though in the video i said this case was $15.90 on amazon, the price actually fluctuates, as of today(07/21/13) the price has increased.

I ordered one actually before I got my s4. I love it. It is not as bulky as I thought it would be when I saw the picture.

Merry Christmas!!!!
Very good cases. Bought the black one for myself a few months ago. It's my favorite case so far, and I have a bit of a case "problem," as I'm sure a lot of you do. It's also considerably lighter than you may think. The pictures seem to imply that it's far more bulky than it is.
Lol!
I never had a case problem until the S4.
Now it has become an addiction
Before the S4, I never even owned a single case.
But after the screen cracked on my S3 from a 12" drop onto concrete, and the crap I had to go through with Austrian, sending back a defective replacement and not having a 32gb model in blue available to send me, I said I'll be buying a case for my S4.
Even though I have Tmo insurance for loss, theft, breakage, etc, having a case may avoid needing any replacements, but with the $650 or so price tags of the S4, I carry insurance just in case.
The UAG is one of the most protective of cases in a very minimal form factory, although @&34.95, it is a little on the high side. The sale price is very good though.
I have the Scout, and just ordered the Maverick.
These are cheaper on amazon and a better deal if you are a prime member as well.

The Maverick/Ice case won't be available from Amazon directly until February.
It's only available from a third party on Amazon, which brings the price with shipping to $30.43
The other cases, even with free shipping (available with over $35 in orders, or with Prime) still don't beat the UAG prices with the $5 off, of $19.47, except for the Slate model which $18.16, but that's only if you can get free shipping.

Do these fit well? I'm always really skeptical when buying replacement battery covers for the S4 because it seems like they need to be so precisely made.

The fitment is excellent.
The locking tabs of these battery covers all snap into place tightly with no wiggle, along the entire cover perimeter.
The only thing which may be an issue, depending on the case you use, is that these covers are just a hair thicker than the stock cover due to the coating of paint. And I mean just a hair thicker.
For instance, there are no fitment issues with the UGA, Otterbox Commuter, Otterbox Defender, Speck Candyshell or Cynett Workmate Evolution cases. There is an issue with the Tech 21 Impact Mesh Smoke case because the Tech 21 fits very tightly with the stock cover, and has no clearance for the hair increase in thickness of the painted covers.
The Anker battery with NFC is slightly thicker than the stock battery, but the covers I linked to snap and fit fine, as do the stock battery covers.

Nov 30 availability. ;-(
I've been rocking the Ringke Fusion on my N4 for about 2.5 years now. Great case. Although I'm now hoping they release a version for the 6p with a solid black bumper + clear/smoke back. I don't like the clear bumper style they also carry, just looks a bit tacky to me.

I always found the N4 one to be ridiculously fat. The polycarbonate layer adds like 3mm easily to an N4 which wasn't that thin in its generation.

Yeah it does, but stylistically I prefer it; exposure in the back, protection on the sides. Its simply the clear sides that i dont like. We'll see. Might just go for one of the Adopted cases for now. Ringke cases are cheap enough that i wont mind switching later. Hopefully they will be thinner than the old N4 one though :S.
I've used them on the N6, note 4, and xperia Z3, and they have all been beautifully thin. some of the thinnest cases I have ever used. and they have even survived drops on cement floors in places like walmart and lowe's lol. i never tried the one on the nexus 4 so i can't compare.
of course I am talking ONLY the Ringke fusion. I have never tried any of their other style of cases but i hear they aren't as good.
Bleh they just emailed me telling me they won't meet their Oct 30th ship date. Looks like Nov 30th is the real date now. The thing that bugs me about this is that they decided to mark it as shipped so they get the money then they emailed me. I guess I will have to get a cheap TPU case or something in the meantime while I wait.

Their amazon page sure leaves alot to be desired. All they do is post a picture of the phone, not a single picture of the case they are selling. I won't buy a case without least seeing it first.

Hope so! The fusion was my favorite N6 case. Tested over 10 cases before settling on it too.
I get the feeling that so many manufacturers used leaked images to base their designs on, and next thing you know... SURPRISE! Laser rangefinder. Back to the drawing board.
I asked them if they are canceling all cases for the 6p and it seems they are

It's back on Amazon with 11/30 as the ship date
So I emailed them asking if they were going to sell the case still or what. They told me they are trying to resolve issues with their manufacturer. In response to that I asked if it was worth putting in an order and this is what they said:
"Honestly, I would wait to avoid complications. We know that we are keeping the original in stock day of November 30th so far. So I would say place your order closer to the beginning of November. I hope that this information helped."

I am coming from the GS6, and have a Neo Hybrid on it. It is the best case I have every used. Little to no added bulk, and awesome protection. I have dropped my GS6 all over the place and dont have as much as a minor scratch on it.
I don't know where the post is but someone on reddit had a link that showed Spigen tweeted it would be on the Spigen site by weeks end. Code: fallfest gets you 20% off on their site until 10/28
Yes, great case. Its the only case I ever pay for.

Thanks for this. It is a pretty sweet looking case. Not a big case fanatic but need to get one since the phone isn't cheap.
I cannot afford this case. Lol. Added one to the cart and they bumped me to a million
These are available on eBay direct from Spigen for $16.99 and free shipping. All three colors are there. The only catch is that it is a "pre-order" and they give an expected deliver date between Mon. Oct. 31 and Fri. Nov. 4 as of now. Amazon and the Spigen website have them for $24.99 and not all color options on either. I don't exactly get it but I'm in for one.

I think that was made in Zero G on the ISS. Or made as One case to rule them all! ?
I got mine today. Got the blue one for my black Pixel coming tomorrow. The blue looks really nice. The case feels nice in the hand. Also the case makes it pretty much the same size as the 6P without a case. https://imgur.com/a/Tw8Nk
Ended up with the blue version easier to find the phone. Really wanted a clear case for my silver phone. However I want one that protects well but can not seem to find one totally clear. Would love to go naked with the phone but it costs too much not to give it full protection.
Got mine this morning. Nice case to be fair! The back is a nice soft touch material and the added bulk isn't too bad. It's a nice snug fit too which is reassuring. I imagine it is fairly impact resistant due to the outer plastic surround.
Still not sure if I will use this or the clear spigen tpu case which is a little less bulky and holds on to the prettiness of the phone, of course provides less protection than the neo hybrid too mind.
Thanks for pics, I just ordered one this am.

It's so so expensive, as nice as it looks...
$25 bucks for a case to protect your (minimum) $750 investment really isn't so so expensive. Just my opinion, but you are certainly entitled to your own.
Got mine in yesterday and I'm pretty happy with it overall. It looks great and feels like it should add a good bit of protection. It is just a touch bulky, but not too bad.
I also grabbed the Neo. I was hoping the bumper was aluminum but it's not....
