I am wondering if an one has tried both cases? I checked different sites and most have different measurements for the commuter. Currently I own the tough case but would like to try the commuter if it's not any larger. I have a Nite Ize holster and the Case Mate fits perfect.
Thanks

I have the commuter series outerbox for the i9100 and it fits my i777 perfectly.
Ordered mine yesterday on amazon for dirt cheap.... Can't wait to get it!
Is the noise cancelling mic next to the headphone jack covered with the i9100 commuter case?

I have the commuter series case. It fits excellent. It does cover the noise mic, however I did not modify the case yet. But I have not noticed any issues to date. I use my phone daily and a lot.

There is a fairly large hole right next to the headphone jack cover. It may not be a 100% aligned but its a decent size hole which should serve the purpose.
Thanks for the replies but I'm trying to figure out if the commuter is similar in size to the Tough Case. It will be in a holster while I work and the Tough case fits perfectly. A customer posted a video on amazon showing that the commuter does have the holes for both mics. I love my tough case but like how the commuter covers all the ports.
I have the case mate pop and its just a tad smaller than my wifes Iphone 4 Otterbox Defender. Otterbox puts it at 16.77 mm thick. From the pictures it looks like the tough case is also a bit thinner than the pop because its form fitting. The cate mate pop is not form fitting, the back is completely flat. The Otterbox commuter is 14.80 mm thick so i'm guessing my case mate pop will be thicker.
i'm looking forward to the commuter because it protects the front a bit. So when it falls it will luckily strike that first and the raised sides. Its a given that otterboxs are lint magnet, i'm surprised because my caste mate is not. The shiny back does however drive me nuts, ITS UGLY!
Nevermind Found pictures on Amazon
I am hoping that mine comes in today. The only bad thing about cheap sellers with free shipping can be the delivery.
I hate not having any type of tracking.

I decided to up and order one of these myself. I don't make enough calls to care about that stupid mic anyways...lol
I just got mine I in today and I'm wondering if there's a hip case that this would fight on?
If you guys do care about the second mic, Otterbox does make an I777-specific Commuter case. I have one. Here's the link. Might be more expensive since you'd be buying it from them directly at full price and because it's hard to find, but I think it's worth every penny anyway, over a year and still going strong.
Bought my otterbox commuter case off of Amazon about a month ago for 20usd and am very happy with it. Have had no problems with any functionality from it.

What are some really thin cases out there? I just want moderate protection while maintaining the thin profile of the EVO. So far, I've read about the Barely There, Cruzerlite, Diztronic, Incipio and various other TPU type cases.
Are there any others?
Try the, Cimo Gloss Back Flexible TPU Case for HTC Evo 4G LTE (Sprint) - Black, on Amazon. It is only like $9. Really thin, cut outs for the usb, camera, is not perfect, but real sleek and thin. Another plus, for me anyways, is that the power button and volume rocker, are covered. Some cases have these cut out, another place dirt and dust can get it. Not perfect case, but for $9 can't really complain.
Just noticed on Amazon that they now have the, GreatShield Guardian S Series Slim Fit S-Line Design TPU Case for HTC EVO 4G LTE (Black)!! I had a similar case on my EVO 3D and it was amazing. Going to order me one right now lol

Hands down the best thin case money can buy is the Case Mate Barely There, I used on on my Evo3d and now my LTE, Covers it enough to not scratch it to hell, but still shows the beauty of the phone. Scour the net for a coupon to use on their site.
I have a diztronic as well, too large for me, and makes it hard to use the buttons in my opinion.

They sell these on eBay for $2.79 and free shipping. They are awesome. I bought every color!

I have always been a fan of Incipio Feather and Case Mate Barely there as well but I just tried the Amzer Shellster case and holster combo and I love it. The case itself is a lot like the Case Mate Barely There but the kick stand is easier to get to and the holster is awesome too.
I don't know how thin you want but i find the otterbox commuter case pretty thin compared to some out there and love the protection it gives a well.

How much bulk does the Commuter add compared to a TPU case?

I don't have a TPU case to compare it to but from the pictures, i wouldn't say much more. Maybe a mm or two at the most? It's a very clean and lightweight case. I feel much better having it on now compared to it being naked. Had a buddy pick it up and was shocked to feel how it felt lighter and thinner than his own iphone4s. But they should have them back in stock in the stores now...they were on back order for weeks for a while.
+1 for CaseMate. I have one from Sprint. It was pricey, but it really is thin and works great!

I love my cruzerlite - I don't think it adds much bulk at all and it provides some character to the phone as well, without just being all-black.
I have both the Diztronic and the cimo case and I can tell you the Diztronic is def a little thinner. It doesnt add much bulk at all and works well against scratches and such. I misplaced it when I switched to a Seidio hard case, but the Seidio case sucks so im going back to tpu. This time im going to try the Incipio case and see how I like it. I would like to try the CaseMate barely there case but the thought of having the top and bottom exposed scares the crap out of me. The corners arent really covered and thats where phones tend to take the most damage when dropped.
I've been using the snap case by spigen. Basically the same as the "barely there" cases in design.
I also have the blue rubber case that sprint sent out, and the androidified tpu cases that I've never used.. This case is smaller then those, Can hardly even tell theres a case on it looking at it head on.

If Spigen came out with the Ultra Thin Air case for the LTEvo like they did for the One X, then I would jump on it in a minute. I want something like this that is very thin, ultra thin

hey guys! as we all know the case situation for the gn3 sucks right now. I have preordered the uag in orange for my black gn3, I was using the diztronic and poetic invictus case up until last week when my gn3 took a slight but harmless spill. It got me to thinking that i need a little more protection until the uag arrives. The poetic invictus wasn't cutting it in fact I have using the diztronic exclusively after using the poetic invictus only a day. Ebay to the rescue! ordered a defender knock off that included a kickstand for 9 bucks shipped.Heres the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/40058067139...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Overall a very solid case with great protected especially for the screen the front lip is just as deep as the defender
Comes in multiple colors
the built in stand is adjustable from multiple angles and seems sturdy
The downside is NO portrait viewing for the stand and this case does not include dust flaps for the ports.
Conclusion, id say this is a very solid rugged case to hold us over until the uag and otterbox arrive, is it as high quality as either no but it is a great bang for your buck at 9 bucks.
i'll include pics(which include a side by side with the poetic invictus) and be please nice this is my first mini review guys, thanks.
I ordered this from amazon for $20 with my prime acct and got it today. I must say that this case is really sturdy and feels great. I have been using the tudia case and this is way better. It makes the phone heavier and it's obvious. But I would say it's worth it. I'll no longer use the tudia on a daily basis.
The covering around the bezel is a lot cleaner on the brig and the grip is a lot better. You can tell the incipio is top quality.
Also, the bezel cover is a matte and not glossy like the tudia. I'm not a fan of the tudias gloss bezel surround as it scratches easy while laying the phone face down. Another thing on the tudia vs incipio bezel cover - The tudia one isn't even. The left side of my tudia case comes in further than the brig. The brig remains even all the way around.
Screen protectors - I think this will play nice with them as it doesn't come in as far as the tudia does. I don't use one though.
Side note: I'm not bashing the Tudia as I still think that for $7 shipped, it's a great case. But the brig is by far better quality. But then again the brig is $13 more.
Thanxs for the share, I have the tudia right now but I think I will pick up one of those incipio cases too.
Thanks - I'll keep my eye on this one, too. It does seem to look higher quality.

starting this because i know there are some of us out there who require such a case. Thought we could save each other some time and/or grief and report what's available, what's shipping, what ad hoc solutions we've found, etc.
here's what i've found so far:
i-blason: liked it on N5. ships nov. 25
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Kick...=1415220229&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
fosmon: never heard of them. looks like i-blason. ships dec. 1
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-STURDY...=1415220229&sr=8-7&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
cellbee: never heard of them either. looks similar to the generic belt cases sold at verizon typically. ships nov. 25
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P1F0AX6?psc=1
supcase: i'll throw this one in here because it claims to be a belt case, but i see no evidence of this from either the pics or the description. ships nov. 29
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-...=1415220229&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
apparently this one is now shipping. first one to ship i believe

Good thread! I just pulled for the Moko. Not only is it supposed to be here Wed, it's a bit cheaper. I use a Steelie in the car and I don't like having the magnet on the phone and in my pocket so instead of having two cases I will just put the Steelie mount on the belt case clip and use it while in the car. For day-to-day I'll use the Moko and not have to worry about switching cases. I hope this works with Qi too.
The Steelie works great in the car as a mount. For the Moto X 2013 I can leave the case with the magnet on and NFC tap-to-pay works. With the OnePlus One, the magnet works great and NFC works but tap-to-pay will not work with the magnet in place. That means if I want to tap-to-pay I have to use a case without the Steelie. I think this Moko arrangement will work a lot better since I won't have to keep changing cases.
Just ordered the case from amazon referred to above.. For 6 bucks, free shipping with prime, and expedited delivery, it's worth giving it a shot. Seems to come in two parts, a protective case plus a seperate belt clip holster for sliding the device in and out of.

from the pics it looks to have a belt clip... the only thing im not to fancy on is the built in screen protector and its added size... everything else looks good IMHO
Seidio Convert
This case is not available or even announced yet, but I'm guessing it's probably in the works right now. In my opinion, Seidio makes the most rugged case for Nexus phones, called the Convert, which comes with a holster/belt clip. I had one for my N4, which got stolen :crying:, and currently have it on my N5 (pic below). If Otterbox had made their Defender case for my Nexuses, I probably would have gotten that instead. The Convert has no built in screen protector and is kind of pricey, but has major protection.
Seidio Convert for Nexus 5:
http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-google-nexus-5-convert-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr4lgn5.htm
seidio is mia. i ve emailed them a dozen times with nothing more than "we're looking into it". can't wait. got the moko case and it looks like a winner, esp for $2
I ordered the moko for 2 dolla. Mainly just for when I'm at work. I ordered a dbrand skin for the back too. Hopefully it won't interfere with the case fitting. If it does...the case was 2 dollars. Lol.
actually...that moko case is a damn fine case. looks like it will do everything i need it to do. of course, i don't have the fn nexus 6 yet to test it in the field, but it looks like it'll do the job just fine. best $2 case EVER...
I would love seidio to make a case for the nexus 6 but all I got was the generic response too. " we are looking in to it". Its too bad because I love their spring clip on their holsters. I looked into moko and unicorn beetle but didn't like the release of either if them. The spring clip from seidio is the best.
received the i-blason case today. i thought it was identical to the moko case but there are several key differences to note:
1. rubber section is far thicker and of a better quality than the moko. the moko was driving me crazy with the amount of dust it was attracting. this one is a much harder/more durable rubber. it's MUCH better
2. having said that, because its thicker, the buttons are a bit harder to press, particularly the power. works perfectly mind you, just takes a bit more effort to press
3. the hard shell is slicker than the moko. hopefully this will wear off soon as its fairly slippery as it stands now
4. the belt clip section is a clip in rather than a slide in. only got it tonight so i have yet to try it in the field. seems secure enough, though not as secure as the slide in of the moko. the advantage here though is i can take this out of the clip MUCH faster than the moko
5. if you have the moko, you can use this on the moko slide in belt clip if you prefer. i'm going to try the clip in holster for a bit to see how i like it
overall, a very solid alternative to the moko, particularly if you were getting annoyed by the cheap rubber collecting dirt
I got the SupCase Unicorn Beetle from amazon on sell for $12 taxes n shipped yesterday, actually received my nexus yesterday too. I got that price because the case wasn't out yet when I ordered it so it had them listed for $7.99 at the time.
So far I am very impressed with the quality. The built in screen protector is actually useful and doesn't hinder the screen at all. I did notice a bit of glare under certain lighting but nothing too annoying.
It does come with a belt clip and its a bit different from what I had on my note 2 but so far its functional and very sturdy product. Highly recommend.
well seidio finally has a nexus 6 page now. still coming soon and notify me crap, but its a start i guess

I like to show off my Nexus and I have had too many bad experiences with belt clips with single clips. My combo is this Spigen case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I7UU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5 and this holster http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Holster-Pouch-Protector-Cover/dp/B00OX3Z89S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1419472114&sr=8-7&keywords=case+for+belt+nexus+6

Just ordered one. Cannot wait for it to arrive. I have had a UAG case on it since day one and I cannot take photos with the flash on. It leaves a smoky affect in the photos. How are photos with the flash on with the supcase?

Please, if you have any other cases laying around, let us know if the holster would work with the Surface holster. On past phones, I know I could get other cases (not all) to work with Surface and Dilex holsters. I have the Supcase hybrid case now. If Amazon were selling the holster, Id buy it in a heartbeat to test, because I know I could easily return it to Amazon.
I got my Unicorn Beetle Pro this past monday and I'm impressed with the quality. The only real complaint that I have about it is that they didnt flatten out the back of the case so that the phone lays flat on a table or something. Most annoying thing ever to lay your phone on the desk and try to do something on it only to have it start wobbling away.
crackberry.com has the seidio active case for 31.95, ships 1/22, use coupon code JB15 for 10% off NOTE. The cases and holsters are sold seperately, great if you just want the holster, or just the case.
