Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Any link for official HTC TPU case where I can find it
Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Superle...1HVI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1333169597&sr=8-9
this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

@Scougar- that case looks good. Nit expensive, will order and try it
@jtgarza3- I know about Acase but the problem is I can't get it in my country(amazon ships books and kindle only) and I cant find it elsewhere. I believe it is the best case
@vervester- thanks mate, will try it
Still can't find a case I like better than the acase superleggra.... Look into that, wonder if there's anywhere you buy it that will ship it to you. its cheap and sounds like what your looking for.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

Hello XDA,
Im looking for a case that will protect the nexus 6 from minor drops and that i will be able to enjoy from its beatiful desing and its white color.
I dont want the case to hide the white color on the back and the "NEXUS" writting. It will be great if the case could seal the audio input to prevent it from getting dirt and eventually ruining it.
I dont mind if the case will make my phone bigger or heavier by much.
Highly prefer Mat material and not plastic because plastic fealing makes my hand sweat.
Could you please recommend me a good case that fits my needs?
Appreciate any help offered!
I got this one and like it. Transparent back and choice of color for the sides. Cutouts are accurate.

Its up to you, there is no "best transparent case" but there are many good choices.
Here are my favorites for clear/transparent casesmost of my cases are clear/transparent)
SUPCase (frosted clear PC back with TPU bumper)
TUDIA ( TPU Clear top and bottom with a matte clear back
Cruzerlite (clear back and sides TPU with android logo on back)
Evecase (100% clear TPU case but the buttons are hard to push)
Ringke Fusion (hard PC back with TPU bumper)
I'm a big fan of my Orzly Flexislim. It's the frosted clear color. There's also a smoky black one out there but since you've got a Cloud White I figure this is most applicable to you.

Buttons are probably my least favorite part of the case. It's just cut-outs, and the material left around the cutouts is pretty thin. I'm not afraid it will tear or anything, just that they are the two bits of wiggliness on the otherwise solid case.
On the plus side all the sides (both top and bottom) are covered all the way around which is nice. This is in contrast to cases like the Bear Motion sandstone case or other similar snap-on cases that leave the top and bottom exposed.

Thanks for your replys guys. You've helped me alot. I'm debating between the Ringke FUSION case and the Ringke MAX case. It seem they are the two that best fits my needs. The only thing that prevents me from getting the FUSION over the MAX is that im not sure the case will feel good in my hand. I tend to sweat in my hands specially holding cheap plastic so i fear ill have it with the FUSION case. Is there anyone here that has the FUSION and can share his expirience about the material and grip of the nexus with the fusion case?

the cutout is my fav, in this way the buttons are flushed with the case. Preventing alot of accidental presses.
well, to each his own....this flexislim is my fav case at the moment. Just hope that it comes with more colors.
I just received my Ringke Slim clear yesterday. I dig it:
http://www.amazon.com/Free-Screen-P...20902817&sr=8-2&keywords=ringke+nexus+6+clear
I have Spigen ultra hybrid with clear back and gun metal sides, and the Ringke fusion clear. Still making up my mind which I prefer. The Ringke has caps for the headphone and USB sockets....the headphone one is OK but the USB takes a bit of fiddling to get it to close flush. I think I prefer the feel of the Ringke but the Spigen feels a little more solid. The Ringke is better for the buttons, there's a clear separation between the power and volume buttons. With the Ringke case there's a clear audible click when the buttons are pressed, which I don't get with the Spigen. Both cases work OK with my tylt vu charger.

As you can see in my signiture, i had Motorola atrix 4G as my daily driver before the Nexus 6. I didnt use the audio port quite much and it got ruined by the dust overtime. Same thing about the hdmi port but not the usb port.
I had the atrix for almost 3 years and those port got ruined twice after i repaired them. If i took the atrix to the beach i noticed it always got sand into the port even i didnt took it out from my backpack. Sand can get in from the tiniest holes and i plan to use the nexus 6 for a long time, therefore i wanna make sure i get the best suitable case for me.
Cheers.
Huge fan of the Cruzerlite cases. I have the clear one on my N6 now and it's great.
EDIT: I'm using a Dbrand skin, so I switched to Ringke Fusion Crystal so I could see the skin more clearly on the back. Fantastic clear case.
Tried due diligence and to search for the right thread.
I picked up the Fosman case on Amazon, one of the cheapo $10 ones, and it's turned out pretty great. Love the matte/frosted back, though I wish it were a bit more transparent so the black came through better. Good purchase, though I'm sure all of these TPU / cruzerlite / whatever companies are pretty much selling the exact same product.

I hav both and they both have good grip on the sides and are a bit slick on back.
Two others you might want to consider are the uag maverick and the poetic affinity. They both have threads here so search and read about them. I have the uag and like it but the back is a little ugly imo. I will be getting the poetic tomorrow, and yes, I have a problem with buying cases. I want to keep my Max incase I want to go back to it but I have a clear fusion I could send you for the price of shipping if you'd like. Send me a pm or email if you're interested.

I cover my ports also to keep crap out..even if you find a case you like but it doesn't have covers you can always spend a couple bucks and grab silicone port plugs online... I use them when not in my OtterBox on my Note and they work well.

How did you like the UAG compared to the Ringke Max? I have the Max now and while I like it I find it a bit slippery on the back, so now I'm gonna try the UAG.

They are both very good cases. The UAG is a little slimmer maybe, but not much. I might actually go back to the Max, I haven't decided yet. I think if you like the one you'll like the other. I guess the one advantage the UAG has is, even though it's still slick plastic the indents on the back give a little more grip, and the volume buttons feel better.
A cautionary tale for those who have or are looking at the Tetded/TETDED slim leather case on eBay or elsewhere. I have had this case for about a month and it has been great - snug, nice leather and best of all a nice slim fit, similar to the Apple leather case for the iPhone. Today I took the case off to kind of just take a look at the phone and wipe away any schmutz and much to my chagrin, noticed some wear marks on the glass (top of the phone). While faint and kind of hard to notice due to the glass being shiny, it has wear marks nonetheless. I sent a message to the seller on eBay who asked for pictures of the wear, which will be tricky to take, like I said, because they are both faint and the glass is shiny.
I like the case a lot and would easily recommend it to someone looking for this style of case, but after noticing this...I don't think a case should leave marks on your phone.
I have a full skin on my pixel. Front and back. Do you think there is enough give in the case to fit over a skin?

It would be pretty damn tight.
Could you shield the glass with some carefully-cut-out plastic kitchen wrap before putting it in the case? (There's probably a better kind of plastic film to use, but that's the first one that came to mind.)

Thanks for the warning. I've been eyeing this case. Guess I should stop.
I had an orange version of this case, cleaned it with leather cleaner and the dye came off! I love a nice premium leather case, but this isn't it in my book.
Just sad we cannot get a high quality slim leather case, that isn't a wallet or folds out into a stupid origami swan or something. If the Pixel is selling as well as we are led to believe, I am surprised more folks aren't making them.

More likely is that leather cases are not very popular now and they take a lot more production to make compared to a molded case. Less demand, more production costs means less availability.
I have the exact same case, and have had mine on for about a month as well, maybe slightly longer.
Just checked the back of mine and it's fine - totally scratch free and perfect under the case. I can't see how this case would damage the back of the phone as it's backed with a thin layer of foam.
Maybe some crud got stuck in between the case and the back?
First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)
I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).
I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)
Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.
Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.
Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.
I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it

the thinnest case would be ones made out of polypropylene. some of them get as thin as PAPER. others get thicker/harder plastic feel, but no real point as any drops will crack your glass...
I always buy TPU thermo polyurethane which is very resilient and i've been surprised a few times on how it protected my phones. the thinnest TPU i found are the CIMO
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-...011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493474636&sr=8-5&keywords=s8
I have the Spigen which is too thick, back side measuring 1.4mm on my calipers
EasyAcc TPU which i'm rocking right now which is 1.3mm
Cimo which hasn't come in yet, but... I've had them for s6 and s7 and it only measures 1mm
I like to cut a small hole and mod the TPU cases so that it works on my modded magnetic charger.

I have this case. It's really nice. Fits well, and really is the thinnest possible case at just .025" thick. I must say it is a little slippery even after using it for a few days. I'll probably try and find a similar one that has a bit better grip, but I would certainly recommend it.
I'd also like to mention there is a small raised lip around the camera opening make the fingerprint reader easier to find while adding a little extra protection the camera.

Loving it so far. It is a bit slippery though, not like other TPU cases I have which provide more grip. The separation between the camera and fingerprint scanner is a nice touch too. I'm guessing it is made from some sort of TPU., it is soft and flexible but not silicone. Be aware this is very light protection. I just wanted something to prevent scratches caused by everyday use. I was going to go naked, but this is pretty close and gives some protection.
I'm loving the new spidgen neo hybrid case
Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...
Highly recommend this one...
Check this out: Spigen Neo Hybrid Galaxy S8 Case Herringbone with Flexible Inner Pr... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP521V1/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_awdb_thRbzbWYMDS0A
For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!
Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

I also have the Nillkin PC Ultra thin case and have also found it to be to best compromise between offering decent protection and staying pretty slim. There also a tiny lip on the screen side so that it won't rest the glass on surfaces. Looking at it from the front, you can hardly tell that the case is on. The Nature TPU case by Nillkin is also very nice, but you can only get it from China at the moment.

Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...
Highly recommend this one...

For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!
Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

Could you tell me how much it weighs? Amazon lists 1.4 ounces for both item and shipping weight. That's way to heavy for me.

Looks nice. It has a small lip at front to protect the screen?

No Protection with this case. It clearly says in description only for scratch. If you want full protection I would suggest that you get this one from Samsung is very slim:

How is the grip
---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------
Does the olixar flexishield actually have something special for grip? They say it's a non slip coating but is it any different than regular tpu
Any reviews or feedback on cases. I've always used a thin spigen TPU case with the carbon fiber look. Wouldnt mind another one or a suede feeling case.
Most of the good looking ones on ebay show no cutout on the rear for the fingerprint.
Thanks
I ordered the FitBag Beat in black from Amazon.com for the Xioami Mi Max 2 and it is the perfect fit sleeve/bag for the Mate 20 X. It works by itself or with the gel Case that came with it. Add a wallet sticker dohicky thing and it's a prefect wallet sleeve.
Here some really good and good quality smart (wake & sleep) flip cases from Aliexpres.
Those on the picture is genuine leather [emoji1303]

For those of you who like the transparent cases i found one that is awesome. It has more screen protection than the stock case and has more corner protection. It's one of the best clear cases I've bought. It's similar in quality to a Spigen or Rinke Fusion case but 1/3 the price. I bought it from here:

Grippy?
Anyone know where can I find this case?
I got this case and I feel it could provide decent protection. I am never a fan of thin or thick case. It's impossible to provide enough raised edges on thin cases. This case isn't perfect but I didn't find anything better yet.

Do you have a Link?
Just Google MojoSkins.
I got a few from them. Thier full protection skins are great but hard to get on perfect. The back portion goes on easy as the skin is thick making application simple. They also over back protectors (no side/top/bottom flaps) that I think work best.
Bought this J&D case off Amazon for $10.99CND. Not too bulky. Wicked drop protection soft TPU inside Hard shell outside. Plus has plugs built in to protect charger port and headphone jack. Plus the volume and power buttons are super clicky. Highly recommend.
The clear TPU case provided with the phone is functional (I dropped my phone onto a hard floor with this case on and the phone was fine), but I do find the phone 'slippery' to pick up with this case. I have the Nillkin nature series tpu case for my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (same size phone) and it is great because its edges are coated with a frosted grip material. Nillkin make this case for the Mate 20 and Mate 20 lite, but not for the Mate 20 x. Does anyone know of a similar clear TPU case that (unlike the Huawei one) has frosted edges for a better grip?
I have quite a few cases and have a few more on the way. I was thinking of doing a case review eventually.
Still no cases made especially for the stylus pen?
Ditto on looking for a case that will also hold the pen.
Found one with pen holder!
