I never use my keyboard and I was wondering if this case would be better since it makes the phone sturdier by securing the keyboard and maybe make it a little thinner.
Has anyone tried this case or one like it?
thats extraordinarily stupid.

The only thing stupid was your post. No call to be so rude in response to a simple question. If you dont use the keyboard I say go for it. I've never used one myself.

They have one in black: http://www.amazon.com/iNcido-Brand-...ES/ref=sr_1_36?ie=UTF8&qid=1301021620&sr=8-36.
In fact, I think the cheapest option is to get 5 of them lol: http://www.amazon.com/iNcido-Samsun...C8/ref=sr_1_18?ie=UTF8&qid=1301021593&sr=8-18
I'm still on the fence on this, but even if they suck, it's still less than $10 down the drain.
Unfortunately, having just bought one of the black cases above, I can say that it is absolutely, positively, NOT "one-piece". It's a standard 2-piece slider-type case.
Sigh. (sadly tosses one more case onto the growing pile of unloved cases on my dresser)
Case history so far:
Seidio: meh.
Seidio ActiveX: nice hand feel, but a major 5-minute pain to disassemble the phone when the battery dies after 4 hours, and makes it impossible to use the camera button without shaking the phone.
Aluminum Milano: would rock, if it were made from plastic. When it's closed, the phone is rock-solid, and you'd never even know the keyboard is there. Unfortunately, it's aluminum, and has a family tree that clearly began back when Sprint phones still had real antennas. Putting the phone in it instantly nukes at least one bar, makes bluetooth flaky, and renders the GPS unusable under most circumstances. Worse, the metal picks up stray cat hairs and screws up the touchscreen. As the final deathblow, it covers the top part of the touchscreen, so pulling down the window doesn't work. Totally and completely unusable.
Silicone case from this thread: I can't definitively say I hate it, but I'm still bummed out that it actually IS a 2-piece case. That said, it's nicer than I thought silicone-type cases would be and is fairly easy to remove, so I'll probably keep it on for a few days unless it seriously annoys me in some as-yet unforeseen way. However, the sides are totally unsecured, and I have a hunch my back pocket isn't going to be kind to it.
It'll be just my luck that someone will finally come out with a plastic Milano, or a one-piece silicone case, two weeks after I've already bought my next phone in October.
I hear ya brother, why not try one of those skins that protect the phone. I wanna get one but not sure which one.

This case is HORRIBLE.
Its a cheaply cut silicone 2 piece case. With a CHEAP FLIMSY plastic "rail" sliding groove. When I tried to put it on my phone, the plastic rail part broke, and rendered the case useless.
It doesnt fit well, is MUCH to large for the Epic, and feels like cheap silicone.
I returned it to the seller for the $5. Had to pay return shipping too.
Otterbox Commuter all day guys. best case ive found for this phone. adds a lil bulk to it but its tough and comes with a warranty from otterbox. 1 reccomendation tho if you do get the otterbox commuter series, there are 2 clips at the top, bottom and 2 on the left side of the top front piece. BRAKE THE 2 CLIPS THAT HOLD IT IN PLACE THAT ARE ON THE SIDE! It will still stay on your phone without a problem. I learned that those clips on the side will scratch your keyboard up a lil bit but not TOO horrible, they no longer have a glossy look, look more mat finish but luckily the lettering and FN symbol have not scratched off, i however am OCD about this stuff and learned the hard way but for as many times as i drop my phone, hands down best case on the market if your lookin for protection. it's smaller than the bodyglove, atleast to me it seems smaller, and for those of you who NEED to wear it on the side they do have a pouch thatll fit it. I manage a Cell Phone accessory cart in Florida so as an Epic user I'm always lookin and tryin new cases. if you guys have any question about accessories PM me =D
I can vouch for otterbox. I had the defender for my BB tour back in the day and it was amazing, to say the least. I dropped it from chest height (I am 6' 5") and it hit the cement and bounced. Zero damage to the phone itself and only a little scuff on the case. Otterbox is like having your phone inside an Abrams Tank.

Yeh, but will it make it so you can't feel the flimsy ass screen?
Like the OP, that's all I'm looking for too... I want my phone to feel like it's a nice candy-bar phone, I don't want it to shake and rattle like my screen is about to fall off.
Ordered an Orange one, am looking forward, will review it and lt you know

Got my orange one today and it's pretty cheap but I got it for .98c and after shipping, only 2.75...so that's pretty cheap.
The cutouts are in the right place, it could fit more snuggly if you ask me but the color/ feel is great... will see if I can post pics.
Epic is as Epic does.

ditto , otterbox commuter. FTW
ive had otterbox's on all my androids( and BBs), moto droid 1 & 2 & global, evo 4g, and my epic with zagg invisia sheild. best protection IMO.
wish they had the pink accents for my girls phone, she cant find a case she likes that doesnt feel cheap, or all the design flakes off.
also , thanks for tip about the side snaps, filed mine down with diamond file, (im a locksmith)

so its a one piece silicon case? like the blackberry ones?
I got an email from dbrand and they are planning on making a skin for our 2nd Gen Moto X! I have had a dbrand skin on my last three phones: Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Moto X (2013). If you haven't had the opportunity to deal with dbrand before, I can tell you from experience, they are a great company to work with, and they make a really quality product. I have attached a couple pictures of the skin on my now retired Moto X (2013). They said to expect them sometime in November. Hopefully they will join in this thread to keep us updated. They were very active in the Nexus 5 forum. I cant wait to slap on a skin!
yeah, i emailed them last week and asked if they were doing a Moto X 2014 skin. they got back to me within the hour and told me once that the Moto X 2014 skins should be out very shortly. the production got pushed back a bit because of the Nexus 6
Just got an update email from dbrand, here is the juicy part:
dbrand said:
In terms of an ETA, we’ll likely have the 2014 Moto X skins available on our site by the 24th at the latest. If all goes well, we should have them available for pre-order by this Friday.

I've been playing with the Nexus 6 on the site, and I dont know if I'm going to go with black leather, brushed titanium, or blue. Might have to get all three.
Looks like they're available now.:good:
Edit: Linky
I bought a leather back and am kinda regretting it now. I might swap it so I can put one of these on!!
So this is tempting - I'm getting white bamboo, however the crappy part is you can't add dark metallic with white front, only black front. This could cure that problem. Go with the bamboo back, black front, red trim and then get a white matte front from db skins to out on. Anyone's thoughts?! I don't want to put something on a brand new phone and it seem cheesy...
I'm really keen on picking up one of these..the color ones most probably since we don't have a chance to use motomaker in my country (India).
Can anyone here who's used the dbrand skin before tell me if its really as textured as it looks on the website? I'm hoping so since that'll help with the 'grippiness' factor and not just look like a piece of colored paper stuck on.

That's how it looked on my oneplus one
I bought 3 skins for my N4. Black leather, titanium and mahogany. They all added grip, though the N4 has a glass back. The titanium was so textured I did not like it and gave it to my sister in law. Used mahogany the most, which I think is about as grippy as the matte black (only Canadian option) Moto X. Probably a little more grip clean but holds grease with use. I had no issues except after a while the inside of the nexus lettering came off, but that was over a year.
I will be getting a back sticker, still not sure which. I would love to see real life pics of the front and the accent ones as they look a little silly on the site.

Man I was hoping to see some pics of the moto x 2014 with these skins, not even on a google search do many 2014's come up. Guess I will order one today. Just need to decide. Anyone care to comment on how well it sticks? I never used a skin and fear the corners will lift. Also if removed will it leave adhesive behind?
The moto x looks like it was made to run a skin nicely with its clean separation of back panel to metal sides so actually looking forward to trying a dbrand skin

I still haven't gotten mine. I preordered a few days before release and they shipped about 2 weeks ago. They ship from Canada by traditional postage and don't have tracking. The site says to allow 7-14 business days for delivery so hopefully soon.
I got the mahogany and the black carbon fiber.

I had one on my 13 X. It never peeled on me and when I decided to take it off, it left behind no evidence that it was ever there
I had dbrand skins for all my phones. Now for the corners to stick just use a hair dryer and keep applying pressure.
Dbrand is the bees knees....probably going to get a bamboo front skin to finish off the look
All that is good to hear. I originally planned on getting a black carbon skin but changed my mind to white last minute, the contrast between the metal frame and white looks like it will be sweet! Hope it comes soon
The bright colored ones seem to have a very high grip texture by the looks of it but those colors are just too bright for me. I was also tempted to get the black titanium one since I liked the texture on the body glove satin case.
I will post pics when it gets here.
Rreally? I'm the first one with pics?
ok, thoughts: cut is near perfect. I mean like only maybe a half mm off in certain places, but pretty much exactly the same size as the back. The camera and logo cutout are almost perfect. The skin does not cover the mic at the top and it also has a tiny hole for the mic at the bottom. Easy application. WELL worth the money IMO.
Just got mine today, and I am as impressed as I thought I would be. Fit is almost perfect, just a fraction out in places like my Nexus 4 was. The coloured back is not as grippy as I expected, the softouch is better for grip for sure. I feel like the mahogany (based on the Nexus 4) is a little better but I should let the blue wear a bit. On that note, the edge by the Moto dimple is apparent to my finger, but I think that will wear smooth eventually. I can confirm it is residue free when you remove from the softouch back since I applied it a few times trying to get it perfect.
I am not understanding this. You choose from leather, wood, or twenty some-odd other colors, and you'd rather cover it with a sheet of vinyl?
I can understand a case to protect against drops, but what purpose does this serve?
hey guys, first time for me to get a bumper but before i get the rhinoshield i'd like to ask those that own it whether the buttons will start to feel more clicky after a while of using it.
e.g after a month or so, i read on reddit/and saw on a youtube review and a review on XDA.
all complaining about Stiff buttons , meaning hard to push powerbutton/vol up down.
and i hate stiff/mushy not clicky buttons, i love clicky tactile buttons.
does the rhinoshield improve within time? if yes i'd like to get it
or if someone knows of a nice bumper case for the 6p, please let me know.
i only know about the rhinoshield.
I'm glad to say that yes, I have mine for like half a year and after 2 month it's start to be clicky and satisfying.
And if it not was so clear on the first 2 months I suffered from those buttons, really stiff and unpleasant feedback.
Now I'm very happy with my bumper, completes my phone
They're not as bad as they're made out to be. You'll need to put a skin on the back to avoid finger print smudges though.
Buy it.

I pondered over the same question a while back, before buying the crash guard..
after having it for about 6 months [ maybe more ], i keep thinking " why did i bother asking the question before ordering ".
In a word its " perfect "
In the beginning, it was a bit hard [ not too much though ], it got mellowed out and its great now.
No clicking issues here.
dropped it a few times from like 3-4 feet [ accidentally of course ], no issues there also :good:
Hope this helped.

out of thanks buttons , thanks for showing.
your combo looks badass.
i also have a skin on the back of my 6p and the skin is quite light, whitei'sh.
so i look forward to combine it with the white rhino shield.
Hi! I got the first batch of the Nexus 6p bumper case from Rhino Shield and the area by the charger sort of broke over time. They do offer a lifetime warranty where you just pay for shipping and they don't charge you for the replacement. I had the white one at first. It changes color over time from a really clean white to like greyish even after soaking it in some Clorox mixture over 8 hours or more. So I got the dark blue one as a replacement. I don't regret buying from them at all.
While it is very stiff at first, it gets better over time.
Taking a screenshot can be a pain, though. It often triggers just one or the other (usually the volume button) unless if you press them a certain way.
Hope that helps.

this looks sleek with this dbrand combo.
does it peel off the skin after you remove the bumper?
i still have not ordered mine, i will get the dark blue one !
i ask because i also happen to have a skin applied on my 6p, from decalgirl.
and btw. do you have a glass sp on ? will the bumper work with a glass sp?
i have no sp on mine at all, but still would want to know ,because i need a glass sp since i am a frikkin clutz.

The skin doesn't peel off when I remove the case. Be careful removing the case alot though, I cracked the charging port that way.
So I have an intelliarmor (highly recommend) and it fits just fine within the bounds of the bumper. Granted I put it on after the bumper was on to make sure it didn't interfere.

Ah, sorry about that. I had no idea they even had an aluminum version.
So I posted several of the other colors I have coning on the general forum before I realized this forum said skins on it.

Gonna be honest... That looks horrible! However, if you like it, then who cares?
I tend to stick to less in your face colours.
Less in your face colors = less stealable.
Once your skins on, the cases will fit a little different. I use one at work cause it's dangerous stuff. I use rhinoshield sometimes.

That one will be used on occasion. It won't be my primary skin but I've always wanted to try yellow and blue together. I'll never using a blue skin with red accents. Here's a picture of actually two more I have coming. Either the Red or the Blue will be my primary skin but I will change them out from time to time. I typically don't use a case with my Nexus 6p so the skin will be my only form of protection which isn't much. Outside of me dropping it which I plan not to the skin will keep the phone in new condition which my 6p happens to be brand new actually which I bought from a guy who had three 6ps. One of his were brand new which I bought that one but he gave me the deal of the century on it. Brand new in box 64g never turned on plastic still on it. I paid $150 for it! When I posted about my deal on Android central a couple of forum buddies of mine wanted to see if they could get the same deal I did on his other two he had left which they were used and no box came with his other two. They got theirs at $150 also. I was already in the market for one new as I have to have the original box I guess a pet peeve of mine but I never in a million years expected to find a brand new 6p 64g for $150. It came out of nowhere and he actually offered me a pixel XL 128g at first for $300. I just ask him by chance did he have a Nexus 6p and yep he had three of them but only one that he had never opened. I of course jumped on that one. Anyways here's the primary skins I'll be using as the yellow and carbon fiber blue skin was just for fun and yeah I like the pop. My next one I order will probably be orange and blue.
Here's the other one I'm thinking about ordering. It's got a regular blue back with a orange carbon fiber camera and orange Nexus letters.
I think out of those, the first of the 3 look the best.
Is it not a bit awkward swapping around skins? I always find skins to be a one time deal, they stretch when they come off the metal back of the 6p

Oh you like the yellow and carbon fiber blue too? I don't typically go for those two colors but I wanted something that popped. I thought that combo looked killer and I know it will once I install it on my 6p. Actually they come off really easily and I save the sheet they ship on so when I take it off I just stick it back on the sheet and then install a new skin. The very first one I ordered actually arrived today. It's solid red and came from mighty skins. Here it is.
Red on the back looks good. Not a fan of the front though, I much prefer skins that are one joined piece on the front.
Just ordered a concrete back skin from Dbrand for my 6P. £2.50 on eBay

Yeah I won't keep the front two pieces on as I was just seeing what they looked like. I actually have a new tempered glass arriving tomorrow for my 6p so once it comes in I'll remove the front pieces and put them up as they wouldn't work with a tempered glass protector at all. Right now I have a liquid glass protector on it from Skinomi which does allow me to use those for the front. I typically don't ever order the front on my skins. Like the three other ones I have coming are just the back and a couple with the frame too.

I picked up a fabric case for 20 bucks.
Not sure how long this sale will last
Thanks for the heads up. I picked the grey case up on the way home. It's a lot easier to do the back swipe with the fabric case then the Spigen liquid case.

Thanks for the tip. Picked up a black one at a local Vzw corporate store. Back gesture is easy to do, but wish it was more grippy.

I received mine today (black) and the swipe back is way better
Thanks for the tip. I've had it for a few days now and really like this case. Wish it had more grip but I love the look and design of it.

I agree. The case looks good, but wow, the grip is really bad.
I ended up picking one of these up myself and I just can't help but think I don't like how the bottom is so open compared to the Pixel 3 XL version.
This would be my favorite case if it wasn't for the fact that I'm concerned that if I drop my phone it's going to hit somewhere on the front edge around the charging ports or speaker and shatter the screen LOL!
Anywho I'm kind of looking around to see what options I have.
I just came over from a Google Nexus 6 with a Cruzlite Bug Droid case that was made out of some stiffer polymer material possibly TPU? Definitely stronger than silicone though.
I have literally dropped my Nexus 6 probably a couple of hundred or more times on every corner at every angle and the phone pretty much still looks new.
I was excited to get a new version of the Bug Droid case because I really like the teal blue one that they have for the Pixel 3 XL but then discovered that they don't make them for the Pixel 4 XL
Picked up the black ...I would definitely like a little more grip but it's alright ...

Great point about the case bottom. I can tell you from experience, if you drop the phone and it cracks where the case is open, Google won't cover the damage! My Pixel 3XL cracked exactly where there was no case protection on the bottom and they told me not thier problem. Google doesnt feel like the case gives you any guarantee against breakage. That's what I was told, ymmv.
