I was searching online for cases and I stumbled upon this Nillkin branded leather case. The design simply looks beautiful and very ergonomic design for the phone.
I just have one question to anyone who currently has one.
How does the front cover stay on? Does it use like a magnet so that it doesn't randomly fling out?
Here is the case: http://www.nillkin.com/En/ProductView.asp?ID=2569
And here is my current case: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Premium-...ccessories&hash=item27c63db2e7#ht_1932wt_1139
My current case is good and I like it but I don't like how it blocks the illuminate light bar because I do use the illuminate light app for my phone. Another issue with my current case is that I cannot put in my ear phones into the jack properly.
So now I am thinking of getting this Nillkin leather case. Worth buying?
Looks like its just a flap, nothing to keep it closed.
I have it (black one) and don't recommend it, it looks really good and fits nice. But you can not charge the phone when it's in the case

Okay I don't think I have to explain why I want a kickstand.
(with a couple people surrounding me and this huge gorgeous display... its easy to show off a YouTube video)
I want a Kickstand on my phone.
I don't want a bulky Otter box case. In fact I don't want ANY cases.
I bought the Clear TPU Kickstand case already.
I want to have a kickstand while preserving the Thin and Slim profile of the Note 3.
So I'm looking for a small kickstand that can be stuck on the back of the device... something that 3M could've made.
And I don't want a SlingGrip or the like... just a kickstand that opens and closes.
If I'm worried about protecting the device I'd use a bumper.
Or I would cover it up carefully in something like a 3M sheet of carbon fibre just like this guy did:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21223112
... and could use that material to fasten the kickstand tighter to the phone's back.
Another possibility is a battery cover which has a kickstand built in.
Any help finding something suitable would be awesome, thanks!
Google stick on kickstand and several come up best looking was at kickitstand.com
Thanks. Kickitstand looks good. I wouldn't want it stuck on all the time, though. I'm looking for something similar and yet different.

The KickITstand is pretty much what I'm looking for.
But:
1) Its too thick
2) Its base/bezels are pretty big
Its not more compact than the TPU Kickstand cases, so it defeats the purpose.
However, I think I found the solution !!!!
Buying a Scosche sticKICK I g4.
http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/reviews/entry/scosche-stickick-g4-for-iphone-4/
Its a thin battery cover for the iPhone 4 / 4S with a Kickstand.
It costs $14, its noticeably thin, and just a basic apparatus.
I'm thinking of getting it.
Breaking away those excess plastic parts and slapping it on my Note 3.
Just need to find out if I can pay by PayPal and if they do shipping to Australia.
If someone can help me purchase this (not money, info) or a product that's similar that would Be Awesome.

I know your primary question was about a low profile kickstand, but I just wanted to point out that if you go this route for carbon fiber that the material is actually vinyl with carbon fiber styling. It's probably not going to protect the phone from anything more than minor scratches.
Have you seen these?

It doesn't attach to your phone but I thought I would provide the option at least.
Currently have the Orzly Flexislim case and like it, but it's just too slippery. Any recommendations?
Have you checked out the MJB reviews on YouTube? He has a lot of thin case reviews that are either clear or come in clear

Just received this case today: http://www.rearthusa.com/Nexus-Case-Ringke-FUSION/dp/B00O28BPCS
And I gotta say that I'm impressed for the money I paid. The back is slick but the sides have a nice grip. Keeps the phone thin too. I definitely recommend it.

I've tried the spigen, orly, and another super slim case who's manufacturer I can't remember... I'm using the Ringke Fusion because of how slim it is, the great grip the soft sides give it, and because it looks great with a skin on it.
See one of the dbrand or slick wraps threads for example photos.

How thin is the Fusion compared to the Orzly? Does it attract fingerprints on the clear or smoke black versions?

Neither are fingerprint magnets. I didn't use the Orzly long, as I recall it being the least protective case I have ever used. The Spigen was more protective and just as slim. The Ringke Slim was the best of the 3, IMO.
The Fusion is just about as slim as the Orzly. Slim enough I can't tell a difference holding it.
I'll post photos for comparison later tonight, if it would help you out. Should I?
Main issue with the Fusion, is the back seems to mark up fairly easily.
Ugh I don't like that.

Mine lives in my pocket or vacations in my coat pocket with my keys. Sometimes it lounges around on my desk / wireless charger. It sleeps on the nightstand. Pretty normal usage, I would think, and it doesn't have a scratch on it.
Do you keep sandpaper on you at all times? Just curious...
I'll take pics when I get some time tonight.

Fusion marks up easily, and is slippery especially on edges and sides and back....better than the Speigen in the button department and sliperiness...
I have this guy, and am happy with it on light-duty days with a DBrand over my Speigen and Fusion. Thin, grippy sides, translucent, and still decent button action.
Also attached a few of my Fusion

Does the LK case show fingerprints?
dinosaur1 said:

LK doesn't...for the photo of the Fusion I had to wipe it down inside and out to get it looking that good. I like the button action on the Fusion better, it is lighter and more clicky....LK is about halfway between the action of the Speigen and the Fusion-but the buttons are spaced and easily discernible by touch.
I will say, the LK was the first TPU I got for N6 then I grabbed the Speigen and Fusion on big sales....went back to the LK after getting the metal DBrand, just didn't look that good on top of the blue N6 back. Also the dbrand adds some texture to the dimple which otherwise is slick. You can just make it out in the photos above, the LK has texturized sides. LK also covers more of the margins of the screen than Fusion/Speigen, which is good for glass protectors that tend to be undersized.
OK, here you go. 35+ full res pictures of these 4 cases. https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B38runv_KwLufmpHeHRNUV8tSWM1M2t6bnp4V1h0a0JabWRqNjZIZmFvaVBaUHR2YTE4Qlk&usp=sharing
First pic attachment is trying to compare sizes. Kind of hard to do, but as you can see they're all about the same width. Last pic shows the flexible TPU side of the Fusion case, all of the others are 100% hard plastic. It's this softer material that gives it a better grip than the others. Its more like gripping a rubber than a smooth plastic. Much better than the others because of that, imo.

I didn't wipe off these cases before taking the pictures. Due to the lighting, the camera really picked up each little smudge. But, it is what it is.
Is there any "bumper" cases? I hate how most cases for the nexus 6 are called "bumper" but are full cases. I want something that ONLY covers the edges of the phone.
I have a great sandstone case for my Oneplus One which feels just like the back of the One and is very slim like a Ringke Slim case. I just bought a Nexus 6 and would love the same case for it but have had no luck finding one. Does anyone know if that case is made for the Nexus 6 and if so, where I could find it? Thanks
This is a really good thin case....

Thanks, I saw those but I really prefer the feel and grip of the sandstone
Try Imak Cowboy Shell case. Feels like One Plus One back.
I got a sandstone case from Bear Motion and its great. Was super cheap too. Can't remember how much but it was less than $10 on Amazon im pretty sure

The Ringke Fusion is a good case, especially if you have a nice skin on the phone. The light blue sides of the fusion look great with a blue carbon fiber skin.
I always love these and order for every phone I buyhttp://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00QXD5QZW/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?qid=1447722023&sr=8-6&pi=AC_SX110_SY165&keywords=nillkin+nexus+6&dpPl=1&dpID=41jgb2SHeOL&ref=plSrch

I am pretty satisfied with Otterbox Commuter case for my S7

Armorbox, just the best protection I could find.
Tough hybrid case, very sturdy and fits the phone well.
However I did remove the included screen protector since I had installed one already.
If you are gonna remove the screen protector, you gotta be very careful, the hard plastic enclosure is very flimsy and can break easily.

Sure , they are quite good , but there also are some other choices ,UAG ,OTTERBOX AND aRTECH 21
Looking everywhere can't find one. See there are a couple that look very bulky and come with a screen protector built it. And almost all others come attached with the front face cover and magnet closed case which I don't want.
Thanks in advance
I never found any. I just left mine without a case, just have a glass screen protector on it.
I wanted a snap-on thin case as well. So.... I just exacto'd the front cover/flap off a cheap magnetic case from Amazon. I'm a complete klutz, hence having at least a little protection is important to me.
I also wish a company would take advantage of the magnetic side slots & make a front cover similar the Nvidia factory built cover. I'd love to buy the Nvidia one for my graphic design work since, like gaming, it heats the device up - so I always remove the back cover.

Those are not simple snap on cases... besides that one's ugly, if you plan on getting something like that, get the other Poetic one.

Closest to a protective case you can get that is minimal.
Cases like that are not to be considered minimal at all. What equi did would be closer than your suggestion. This tab is just not that popular so case manufacturers just don't bother with it. Sucks for us who want more options.
---------- Post added at 10:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 PM ----------
Btw, I just tried what equi did for one of the cases for my Zenpad Z8 and it's actually not bad. While it won't protect from scratches on one side, it never protected against drops for that side before anyways.
I was in the same position as you. I wanted a simple case with good protection that wasnt bulky. I also didnt want a flap. I couldnt find anything that fit the bill. Therefore i settled for this. I use the Fintie Nvidia Shield K1 Smartshell case from Amazon and love it. It snaps on really easily and has a front flap that doubles as a stand. I hardly even realize the flap is there as it easliy flips behind the screen or folds so it can standup I have actually found it to be more of a conveniece than inconvenience. It only $10.99 too! It provides pretty good protect as well. My 13 year old son is pretty rough on stuff and so far we have had no problems. I highly recommend it with an intelliarmor screen protector. Hope this helps.
