Anyone see any silicone skins yet in the wild? I've exhausted my search and have yet to find one.
I would be excited to have this also. Just something to slide over it to protect it from scratches on the back and to protect the sides so I don't have to be so gentle with it when putting it down, lol. Being able to dock it while in the skin is a must though, but it shouldn't be too hard considering there is plenty of space on the bottom sides to wrap the skin around so it can still snap into the keyboard dock hinge.
i cannot believe there is no silicone gel case till now. There is also not many people asking about it. It seems like there is not much profit margin in selling gel cases.
Imm waiting for one of these as well... no luck so far.

I also really need one of these silicone skins...
I emailed this company asking if they would make a case I'm sure they take the requests if the demand is high enough. You should email them asking to make a Silicone Skin.

I am in the ATL and got a chance to run by Case-Mate's headquarters today. Got some good info. they have altered all of their Galaxy S2 cases to have 1 cutout on the top and they are now universal for the AT&T model and the European model. They have the POP cases and Tough cases ready to go. The website was not updated yet though.
I grabbed a Tough Case today. I was surprised to see it is actually thinner than the Pop and the Otterbox Commuter (they had one for comparison). It has nice rounded edges and great feel in the hand. I have tried the AGP, Ballistic, Pop and Belkin and none of them worked for me. This one seems to hit the spot. I will try and post pics later.

Guys, just call them on their 800 #. They have a whole team of CSRs that will process your order right away. I went into the call center and they handled my order for me. That is the reason for my post. They have hem available now with the large cutout on top. All their GS2 cases are now modified. I saw black and white Pop cases modified, Tough Cases modified and the Barely Theres are already ok.
I like it better than the Otterbox for this phone. The rest of my family all have Defenders for their IP4s. I am a huge Otterbox fan. I tried the Tough for my Inspire and IP4 and did not like it nearly as much as the Commuters for both of those phones. The GS2 Tough is a different story. I like it much better than the Commuter. Its thinner and has better grip. Fit is awesome.
I am on the road traveling and cannot take any pics because the SGS2 is my only camera. I guess I could takes pics of just the case an upload them.
pics of just the case will do! thanks!
I just called and also did the live chat online and both people told me that they won't be available until early November .

Here are a few pics. The case is awesome. I have been using it on the phone while traveling and its working out great. Had a co-worker comment on the fell of it when I handed him my phone. Buttons are easier to press than without the case. The case is fairly hard to install since it is so form fitting. Surprisingly it does not add much bulk.
To the poster above that contacted them. Sorry but you got an uninformed rep. The only way we figured this out was by physically getting the cases from their warehouse. I ask them to bring out the cases so I could see if I could alter them to make them work with my phone. To her surprise and mine, they already were set up to work for the AT&T versions. Pics prove it below and I did not touch this case. Hopefully you can tell. No reason to lie.

I talked to a rep and I also talked to a person in live chat, so I got two of them that are uninformed. I also sent them an email again making sure. I want to make sure I am sent the right one the first time. I am going to email them again. Do you mind if I use your picture for reference in my email?
My GF got a pink "Pop!" and it was for international version so she called and got the same sort of response. That they don't and won't have any cases except the ones that are at the AT&T store because they signed an exclusivity agreement to only sell the cases in stores or some BS. Bottom line is that they fed her the same thing, no cases for the AT&T SGS2 for a while. Whatever. Case looks good though bud, I might get one of those when they do come out to replace my Pop! as it is just a little big.
I don't mind if you use my pic at all. I will say after reading abacon15's post, I am beginning to wonder if I was the one that had the uninformed rep. She may have sold me a case she was not supposed to sell.
One more thing, my case came in the normal green and clear Case-Mate box. It was not AT&T branded packaging. No screen protector though. Not sure if it should have had one of those. I haven't looked on the website.

Go buy a box of them and start re-selling! j/k Looks good though. I want one. I'm a OB Commuter fan and that looks very similar.

Is this the one you are talking about that has been modified?

I get my upgrade in December and am looking to get the Galaxy S 2. I am using a Tough Case on my Inspire and love it. It has proven itself to as an extremely good case. I had it drop and hit concrete 5 times and the only thing it did was put a crack in the polycarbonate hardshell right next to the flash. I also work with tires all day and I would need this case for protection.

Ok, the automated response is ridiculous. We have confirmation from a guy who was actually at their home office and they still wanna play the automated/rehearsed response crap. That alone would make me buy the international version and be done with it.

So it seems that they didn't even consider making anything. I've been a Seidio fan since day 1. I've always had Seidio cases on all my phones. I think we should all send an email to let them know there is a huge interest!
Let's do this!
...turns out their letter was a nice way of saying no. Still nothing on website to date. Too bad. I loved the Seidio case on me Nexus One...
(Here's the link to HTC products.)
I emailed Carved to see if they'd be producing cases for the Nexus 6 since they currently make cases for the N5 and this is what I got back:
"We are continuing to add new products to the Nexus line. Please keep checking our site for updates!"
That sounds like a yes to me! Not sure how many people like/use these cases but their N5 cases look great in person. I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.
Sweet cases! How bulky are they? Is hard to tell from the pictures on their site.

They're pretty low profile. I didn't have another N5 case to compare it to but the carved case didn't add a lot of extra bulk.
I have never heard of these cases before, but now I must have one. I really hope they add the Nexus 6 to their line.
Oh very nice! I'll get bamboo on my N6 after all. and they take bitcoin!!
That huge phone with a real wood back, or one of those puzzles... Sweet. I'm glad I swung in here today and found out about Carved.

Of a particularly relevant note here--they apparently do base what phones they offer cases for based on user demand, so it's actually kind of important to leave them a comment at http://www.carved.com/contact-us explaining why it would be a Good Idea to make a case for the Nexus 6. (One thing I did note to them is that--with a difference in scale, of course--the same template would be usable on the Moto X 2nd Gen AND the new Droid Turbo as pretty much all the Motorola phones are on the same rough body build. It does help in my case that I've built tooled leather cases for non-phone stuff, so I do kind of know what is involved in making a good case design. )

I did that as well... I plan to have my wife leave something, too. They sent me a $1 off coupon for my interest.

and a facebook post also on the facebook fan page! I want an Ironside full wood case..that would be so awesome! love their work! their art! the skateboard one and the live ones also look cool...the ebony ones too..the full ones..i don't want no inlay one...i want that full wood look!! ha...yeah...love the art!
I've never been one to use cases on my phones but these are really nice. I've been intrigued about these wood finishes since I've seen the bamboo back option for the Moto X. Might have to pick one of these up. I'll shoot them an email to help them gauge demand.
looks like it may not be happening right away...

I bought 2 solid wood cases for me and my wifes Note 3's and both cases broke within 2 weeks really bummed me out because that case always got people's attention. It was not from carved.com so i don't know if there solid wood offering would be more durable.
Man I hope they come out with some soon.
So I submitted a request through Carved's website. My submission is in bold. Their response is in italics.
First, why are you contacting us?: Are you going to make a case for...
What device do you want us to make a case for?: Nexus 6
In your most convincing voice, tell us why we should make a case for your device??: This device is awesome and is very popular! So popular in fact, that it's been pretty much sold out since its release! It's being sold on all four major carriers and I would love to see one of your beautiful cases surrounding my device. If you make it, I will buy a lot.
Hi Robert,

The case they use for the nexus 5 appears to be a ringke slim.
Such a shame that Carved still haven't brought out a case for the N6. Has anyone found a good alternative elsewhere?

I wanted to let you know that Carved.com asked me to beta test a Nexus 6 case on the 25th, it should be here in the next day or two, not sure what the rules are about testing it so I will confirm if I can post pics and comment on it. But I wanted to share that it is making progress.
I know a few people on here been trying to get answers about a bumper case since the Rhino Shield one fell through. I emailed and posted questions on Case Mate's Facebook page weeks ago and never heard back, so recently decided I would asked the same question over and over again every time they post something to Facebook and I'd post to their page everyday and email them everyday till I got an answer. Finally heard back this morning. Now the answer I got sounds like they will be making a Hula Case for the N6. The sentence that answers my question is kind of worded like someone with broken English wrote it. Here's the email I got:
Thank you for your interest in Case-Mate products. We are very excited to have cases available for the Hula Case for the Nexus 6. We know you are excited to get a case for your new device!
We will be updating our case selection daily as new inventory arrives. We do not have specific information on when the case or color you are looking for will be available. If we did, we would be the
first to share! Please make sure to click on the "notify when available" button on the product page so we can let you know when we have what you are looking for.

I'm guessing that someone didn't get the memo... Its nothing new to see conflicting CS experiences when inquiring about a product. I wonder which one will become a reality.

Maybe we should wait a week or two and ask them again. The Hula is the only bumper that I have seen recently that looks good unless another company wants to take up the challenge.

People had the same case for the G3 when I had mind. It seemed to be popular but there were issues with it from what I remember.
I'm still hoping the hula comes out, but I'll definitely test this one
