Just wondering if anyone seen a bumper case for the Nexus 6P. I love to show of the nexus logo.
Plus, it reduces weight and bulk.
Evolutive labs is making one and they said it should be out by the end of this month
It's been mentioned in the case thread that these guys will be making a Nexus 6p bumper. =)

is it confirmed or did they just say "we'll think about it"? i recall they held a kickstarter type campaign for a Oneplus One Crash Guard bumper and they were late with all their announcements. It was never made.

I emailed them and received a reply that the design should be revealed on their Facebook in the next 2 weeks.
I'll believe it when I see it though. They said the exact same thing for the 6 last year.

How is the search for bumper cases going?

I think the OP is referring to just a bumper case with no back. So far, no one has released one, evolutive said that they will be making one

Ohh gotcha. I he means a bumper and not a full case. Yeah I cant say I have seen any yet either.
So did evolve ever say anything more about their bumper?

Here is the link to the case I am talking about: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151939386658&alt=web
I was wondering if anybody has gotten one of these cases. For almost a third the price of the one from google, this could be a bargain! TIA
It's only 13 bucks. Why can't you take the gamble and report back?

Already ordered one. Its coming from China tho so who knows how long it'll be before I have it.
I ordered one too, won't be here until feburary. It's been advertised as the official google case, not a replica?

I hope it is the official one. But I doubt it. Here's to hoping!
Nice! Makes me feel dumb for paying full price for mine. Lol
Thanks for the find buddy. Might give this a shot. It is around $19 after conversation to aud.
Nice find if this is real. I have the case and played 17.50 on black Friday. Buttons are stiff but its a really nice looking case.

Thanks bud! I'm in Canada (eh?) so I had to pay 19 bucks for it, but still way better price than the one on Google. If its the same thing, awesome! If not, meh...just threw away 19 bucks.
:good:
Just got mine. It is definitely a fake cover. If you have the official one from Google you will see the difference in the felt. It isn't even felt on this particular case. Not unattractive per se but not as good as the official.

I noticed the case I received had the fiber cutout up over the edge of the outline, I had to take a razor blade and cut the excess away. These must be QC rejects.

The Nexus 6P doesn't have the most inspiring design, but when it comes to hardware prowess, value for money and Google extras, this best-ever Nexus is hard to beat.
Rhinoshield didn't release a single case for the 5t but with 6 it's going to change! Are you excited? Me personally very much :victory:
PS. You can also sign for email notifications if they're released
i've never owned one of their products before
Thanks for the info man, didn't know them but...watched some videos with intensive drop tests and they look very solid! looking forward to these products
Any ETA for Rhinoshield cases???

Pre-order now, ships in August.
I love that they covered the silent mode switch and have a switch right on the case.
Even though the $35 price kinda hurts my feelings, I might have to get me a carbon fiber one.

Is the OnePlus one that you purchase different than the one they ship on the phone? The one it ships with feels nice and sticks great but it scratches easily. I put a tempered glass one on but I hate it...it has black boarders and the edges don't stick to the screen.

You've got some serious plans going on here
Does anybody make a 2-piece case with the TPU inside and the hard plastic shell? I've been using this type for years and love it. But can't seem to find any for the pixel 3a anywhere yet.

It seems like one of those is for the Pixel 3 XL, or maybe that's just the stock image. I am so torn right now. I have one of those cases on my LG G3 and it makes it feel like a brick. I want to enjoy my new 3a, but I am also so afraid I will drop and break it. Does anyone think a TPU case will be enough?

For my last 3 phone I've used TPU only and they've survived. This is the case I'm getting today. However, I try(maybe more than most) to baby my phones. Although, I must admit I've dropped them occasionally
It really depends on how you typically treat your phone. Example: My wife drops her iphone all the time but she has a bit stronger case.

Thanks for your info. I am also looking for a clear case. Let us know how this one works for you, please. Reviews are quite mixed. I'm also looking at the Spigen clear but it's listed as 1/12 in which would make it about twice as thick as the ESR. I never encased my GNex, N4, N5 or N5x., but I did skin the last 3 to get a better grip. The 3a seems pretty sturdy and not nearly as slippery as I thought it would be. I won't have mine until Friday.

I got it just a few hours ago. Seems good and fits well, but I'm pretty easy to please. All I was looking for was something to absorb some shock and also a scratch preventive when I lay it on a hard surface. I really wanted a different color but cases for these models are hard to come by right now. This ESR will serve my requirements until newer ones start showing up.

This is, in fact, my second UB series case (I have one for the Galaxy S7 - which my 3a sent into retirement). The one I linked to is in black (mine is in blue - by choice). It is $19.95USD. Too pricey? There is the Unicorn Beetle Style series for the 3a as well. All are available now.
Just as the title asks, I am curious if there are any clear cases that don't start to turn yellow after a month or two of use? I have the panda version and really like the look of the phone with a clear case, but the slight yellowing that typically happens is much more noticable with the white back of the phone.

hi, I Am not sure, but I believe - with regard to price - Spigen Ultra Hybrid, UAG (I can recomend) and Catalyst will be good choice.
but a note, UAG - it does not take off easily.

Well I would have told you it was clear until I took it off. Disappointing but not horrible for a $9 case
All clear cases will discolor. The discoloration comes from the oils on your skin that slowly stain the plastic.

Well it's my first plastic case so I'll see for myself. Also, a year would be way better than the weeks it takes for TPU ones to turn. There's also this tempered glass one I'm interested in.

There's a review on it from 10/27/19 saying the case already turned brown, might want to steer clear of it. The case is really cheap and it just has a tempered glass protector glued onto the back that's it.

Yeah I saw that. It's the top review listed. Was thinking I would get black but then realized it's not black around the edges like my Caseology case. The actual glass is black with still a clear TPU edge. Looks like I'll just stick with my Caseology.

How is it holding up in terms of stretching? I had two MNML cases and both did stretch after a few months, mainly during summer and warm weather. I see they increased their prices even more since my purchase (using on a Pixel 2 XL).

For me, my two cases on my Pixel 2 XL stretched most likely because I alternated cases pretty frequently. It's probably the taking off and on that does it and not the weather.

I did not take them off frequently, maybe two or three times in a total of 5 months just to make sure there is no dust inside? I did notice that the first one I used from July until September lasted shorter than the second one I used, but still it stretched.
Left one has been used two months during summer, right one was new at the time of the picture...

Then maybe it's both. I live in Tampa, FL so I definitely get a lot of heat. I noticed the warping most in the corners. I don't plan on getting another MNML case or similar in the future.
