Surprising we don't have thread like this for DNA yet.
So its simple. Post photos of your cases, pouches, flip covers, skins with the DNA and also please do post the source / link from where you got it so it can help others to buy the same if they like it.
Cheers! Will post mine soon.
From my Note 2, right in your face....
I need people to post pics so i can get case ideas....
I'll bite.
This is the Incipio Feather Case.
I paid $23, from DayDeal.com. You can find it on Amazon and, for a little less, on eBay. I was able to drive to DayDeal and pick it up, so I saved shipping charges, and didn't have to wait (I can be very patient, as long as I don't have to wait). DayDeal has also treated me very well in the past, so I'm happy to give them my business, even if it costs me a few bucks.
Comes in Gray, Black, Hot Pink and Blue.
If you're looking for the thinnest, lightest case other then simply putting stickers on the back of your DNA, this case is probably it.
I'm not really sure how much protection it'll provide. I do have another case, which I used when I was on a recent trip skiing, but for day to day use, I really like this case! It retains the sleek look and feel of the DNA, even retaining the curved shape of the back of the DNA. Soft touch paint provides a more firm grip in your hand, something that was lacking in the similar Nillkin case I have. I purchased the smooth Nillkin case (they do have one with dots on the back, but I didn't care for how it looks), and always felt like it was about to slip out of my fingers (came close a couple of times)... the Feather case has no such problems!
If you're looking for a case which you can drop your DNA on concrete, and not flinch, this ain't it!
If you're looking to keep your DNA slim and light, while providing some additional protection, especially from scratches to the back... you may want to give this one a look.
Positives:
Soft touch paint
Ultra thin
lightweight
Displays red highlights of the DNA
Inductive charging works fine with case
Negatives:
Top and bottom edges partially exposed
Doesn't provide maximum protection
Power and volume buttons exposed
Back LED concealed

Nice I'm going to look for that incipio case ASAP but here's my case mate case bought from a Verizon store in NH
Pics we're taken with my retired Gnex
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I have a couple. A standard case with a built in stand. It came with a holster, which i would never use. Purchased directly from Verizon corporate store. It has a nice design that aids in gripping the phone.
Not too much of a lip
I like how designers gave the user a little extra room past the vol up and vol dn rocker
Corner protection leaves much to be desired
Is everyone's flap chipping away like mine? I had to let a fingernail grow out just to pop this thing out
Here's how the back looks with the stand pulled out
Then there is the Otter Box, again purchased from the Verizon store.
The standard 3-piece fare
Finally, fully clothed
This is what I am bummed about.
Lot of nice looking cases, but most dont have cutout for the back notification light
Those that do have it, all look like crap.

A little quick work with a drill and that can be solved.
My Trident Aegis case has a cutout in the back for the light.
Got the Incipio dual case, ordered direct from Incipio to get the color combo. Was a little worried about grey/electric green with the employee edition red but in natural light it actually looks pretty cool. You can only see it from the back or looking up at the charging port area. I work for VZW so I'm hoping we'll starting carrying these for the DNA like we do for all the other phones so I can pick up a black/black with my discount.
It adds just a bit of bulk, the soft touch is very nice (similar to the feather the guy further up has) The power button is a lot easier now as well. The case tapers with the phone so it still has that nice feel in the hand, just a bit thicker.

Poetic Atmosphere Case for HTC Droid DNA
I bought the Poetic Atmosphere Case for HTC Droid DNA from Amazon for $7 and just received it today. It is a really nice case and fits the DNA perfectly. It adds almost no bulk to the DNA while providing average protection for daily use. The Poetic case also accommodates the rear LED notification light. The back of the case is transparent and a bit slippery while the sides are gray. There are raised buttons for the power and volume buttons. Pictures are available on Amazon. Here is the info from Amazon:
Made of polycarbonate and thermoplastic polyurethane
Transparent durable material
Grey borders surround the edges
Customer built-in volume control buttons
Raised knobs on each corner to protect from surface scratches.
Comparing it to the Ballistic SG Case that I'm currently using, It is a much sleeker case, but the Ballistic SG Case offers more protection at the expense of more bulk. The Ballistic SG Case seems to be squeezing the DNA a bit too tightly and might be causing the bluish splotches on the DNA screen. However, I do feel more at ease if the DNA is in the Ballistic case than the Poetic case. I'll post pictures later when I get a chance.

Had the poetic case...it's nice...but it eventually broke on me. The back of the case started to detach from the sides. I'm by no means rough with my phone so it didnt take much for it to come apart.

Yikes. That's not good news. Did you get a replacement? Poetic seems to be giving a 3 year warranty for it.

XDA member OneStepAhead was nice enough to give away some TPU Cases to fellow Photon users!
My Review of the High Gloss Black:
Ok got this TPU case this morning, and tossed it right on...been running around with it all day. Here's a few things I'll point out for you...
1. It fits perfectly- nice and snug. Cutouts are just right. Easy to put on / take off. No "give" doesn't feel like it'll get loose on ya.
2. The volume rocker and camera button are covered with a layer, instead of a cutout. Depends on your preference here...seeing as the Photon has a unique design on these buttons. I'm fine with it, as it is keeping me from toying with the tread on them. Heh.
3. Not overly slick. Easy to put in your pocket / remove. Seems to have enough friction to prevent dropping. Some of these gloss TPU cases are like holding a wet fish, while your hands are covered in baby oil. This one's just fine. (yeah...don't ask about the baby oil please! )
4. Lightweight - doesn't add any real bulk...most TPU cases don't
5. Great packaging - most of these type of TPU cases just come shipped to you in a plastic baggie. This had said plastic baggie, with another layer of protection inside that...plus a cardboard cutout. (it's the little things that impress)
I'll say in summation, that I've had an overall pleasant experience with this TPU case...and the Rep that sent it to me. Seems like decent Customer Service in my interactions. Of course, in all honesty a TPU case doesn't offer as much protection as an OtterBox...but overall it serves it's purpose!

Hey thanks for making this thread! Much appreciated
This could be a helpful thread for me to gather input from you guys on how I can improve our cases in the future. Some of the things I'd like feedback on are the fit (is it tight, are all the cutouts properly aligned?) the volume rocker (is it easy to press? this is one of TPU's weaknesses, the volume rockers can sometimes be difficult) the power button cutout (do you like it? would you rather have it be a molded button like the volume rocker?) any other colors you'd like to see? I usually have more colors then just 2 made for the more popular phones but I only did High Gloss Black and High Gloss Smoke so far for the Photon so I'm open to ideas. Thanks everyone!

Love mine. My review is on amazon. Brief and to the point. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/cr/B005FN35XG/ref=aw_d_crstars_wireless
Sent from my Motorola Photon 4g
On Youtube I found a review of a TPU case where the guy throws his phone out the window of a moving truck and the case protects the phone well. I'm gonna take their word for it and really have no interest in tossing my Motorola Photon 4G out the window of anything.
When I received the case in the mail on Saturday I quickly tore the package open and put it on my phone its a tight fit and my one complaint is that it when I tried taking it off it fit so well that it pulled the battery cover partially off. Certainly not a big deal and really is more of complaint against the phone rather than the case. If the battery cover on the Photon was not so flimsy it would not matter.
The case ads minimal bulk to the phone and really makes it feel better in your hand. The texture is a high gloss shiny black (I think I would like to see them make a matte black).
There are cutouts for the camera, kickstand, power/sleep button, headphone jack & one for both the HDMI and USB ports. All are aligned perfectly and look good. They have done a good job with the volume and camera rocker, they are not hard to press but does take a little practice to make it smooth. This is a surprisingly nice case and for under $10 you really can't beat it. They are available on Amazon for under $8 plus shipping and available from www.TPU-CASES.com for under $9 with free shipping.
I believe the case for the Motorola Photon 4G from TPU-Cases is an outstanding deal.

Gotta say I do not recommend doing that, haha. TPU cases are not the Otterbox Defender. That person just got lucky, it's possible for a 1 foot drop to cause damage or a 10 foot drop to not cause damage depending on how it lands. If anyone could post some pictures of the smoke case on the phone I would be very grateful.
Just got mine today. I uploaded some "customer images" to the Amazon product page and I will follow up there with my full review in about a day or so. So far everything seems great though!
What other colors would you guys like to see done? Lots of XDA members asked me to do matte cases for the Evo 3D but those arent selling very well, not even a 1/10th as well as the high gloss cases are. So I'm reluctant to do it again, but I would be willing to do a few colors.
Got my case today, and here are my initial impressions:
Fit: Very snug, yet easy to put on. All of the "holes" lined up very nicely, including camera, speaker, hmdi/power, and audio.
One thing to notice right away is that the audio port is not covered up by the thickness of the case. When I got my Hero and a case for it, the case was nice and thick, but it was also very right around the jack. When you tried to insert a headphone 3.5mm plug, some of the plugs, especially on over the ear headphones, have a big thick base. Well on the Hero, I could not "sit" the plug all the way in. This case does NOT have this problem. The access/opening is wider than the 3.5mm receptacle and is beveled. Very nice touch.
On the left side the HMDI and power are obvious open (see the pictures below), but the volume rocker and picture button are covered. I'm not a big fan of this, but it does not hamper use of the phone, it is a preference.
The case has a nice shiny gloss to it and looks sharp. I don't know how this gloss look with stand up over time and I might have opted for a mat finish if it were available. I'd also like to see a red color in the mat, as that is my favorite color, but once again, that is preference.
For $7.90 on Amazon, it's a great value and you really can't go wrong with this case.

TPU-Case
After my vacation I arrived home to find me TPU Case waiting on me. Put it on a first impression is its a great skin case. It wont provide much protection if you drop it but most cases wont unless you get an otterbox. All the holes line up perfect and it is easy to get in out of pocket. Unlike most skins where its tacky like texture to provide better grip but makes getting in and out of pocket hard. This texture is a perfect balance. All and all its well worth the few dollars that this case cost. I would however like to see the power button to be covered like the volume buttons are.
Got mine today and I really like it. As long as I didn't drop it on the face I think it provides plenty of protection and it's still thin enough for me. Still good for getting in and out of the pocket too.
Sent from my Photon
I received my TPU case yesterday and after a day with it I pretty much have the same opinions as everyone stated. It is a very nice case for such a low cost. I think I have a fan of have the volume and camera keys uncovered but to each his/her own though I do think they should all be covered (including the power button) or none at all to keep them uniform. Oh it does not work with the HD dock unless you remove the insert though I have not tested it without the insert to confirm. It offers enough protection for the average user not looking for maximum protection. Overall I am very pleased.
Added my review of the case here.
Also added quite a few images.
TS out
Just ordered the smoke case. I've had the nexus s 4G, htc evo 3d, and photon in the last 4 weeks or so (yeah I know I'm crazy). I'm sticking with the photon though. I've had these tpu cases for both the nexus and 3d and loved them. Actually made me like the phones more somehow. I really like the see through cases that show the back of the phone off. I'm thinking it'd be cool to have clear, red, royal blue and I really liked the smoke geo tpu case too.

I just got this phone for my wife and shes a big fan of purple.
"Acase" case for Evo 3d, similar to otterbox commuter. The case comes with 2 screen protectors as well.
I really like this case more then the commuter. The back shell has a nice touch to it. It feels well protected and thinner then the commuter. No problems with sound from speakers. And the one thing i like the most is the camera is protected.

Nice pictures and review. I personally use the defender because of how hard I am on the phone at work, but that would be a great case to use if you want a little smaller phone (as most know the defender makes the phone HUGE.)
Looks really nice, thanks for sharing! I have to many cases already, but I may end up buying this one too anyway... I'm a bit of a case whore...

I received my case last week. Here are my thoughts..... I like this case a LOT.
Pros
- Fits great, like a glove. There is nothing loose.
- The case is fairly thin. I previously used a generic version of the case mate barely there, which is thinner that this, obviously, but this case does not add that much thickness to it.
- Buttons for power and volume as very easy to push and feel the clicks when the buttons are depressed
- If you notice the pics from jtgarza3, you'll see that the silicone wraps around nicely onto the screen. Unlike other cases, there's more of a 'bump' at the front of the case. I think this makes the case feel less bulky when holding (A PLUS IMO) and it keep the screen off the table when face down.
- Hard shell case has the soft touch paint and wraps around all side of the case... more so than the Otterbox and CaseMate versions (which I think are bulkier)
- 2-layer protection should offer some protection from drops [cushioning of the silicone and hard case protection] ... at least better than my generic barely-there case.
- Thin - yes again.... That's my biggest requirement to have a good case with protection, yet as thin as possible. It think this case gets me there.
- Price - For $10 you cannot go wrong!
Cons
- The silicone does attract some dust and lint, but not a magnet by any means. But you will notice a layer and with a quick wipe will restore it to the nice slick black silicone look..... this is really the only downside that I have so far.
If I had to rate this I give a 9 of 10. Knock a point for my only con.
Hope, this is helpful for those on the fence or those looking for a nearly perfect case.
Edit: Just to add that I also own a TPU case from TPU-Cases.com (smoke matte style). While I like that as well, I still prefer this from Acase. Plus I found the smoke matte TPU case to not have any real grip.
for those with the case,is it sticky when putting or removing from your pocket?i have the commuter and noticed its hard to remove from pockets...also noticed that it has actual plastic protecting the four corners...as opposed to the commuter which uses the silicone to protect,which is useless cause i dropped mine and the silicone compressed back and the ground scratched my phone..thanks for the post...will be picking this up..

+1 The hard case, despite having soft touch paint is not tacky or sticky.
I just got this case in today and while I like it a LOT, its probably not going to replace my TPU matte back black case for daily use.
Pros:
- The case is really high quality, well worth the $10 and should probably be sold for more than it is.
- Case fits really well, all the cutouts line up perfectly.
- Case adds minimal bulk, similar to the TPU cases.
- The buttons are extremely easy to push (vs the TPU cases which require a little bit more effort IMO) and you definitely get some nice tactile feedback.
- On the areas of the case where it isn't covered by the hard shell (camera module, around the ports/buttons, etc), the silicone is significantly thicker/reinforced.
- The soft touch paint feels really good in the hand.
- Like the fact that the cameras are protected to the max vs other cases that just have one giant cutout for the entire module.
- Easy to take in and out of pocket.
- Comes with a screen protector and microfiber cloth (already have a screen protector installed so didn't try out the included one)
Cons:
- Like most silicone-based cases, the silicone liner is a major lint magnet.
- I also don't like how the silicone lining comes right up to the edge of the LCD on the left and right sides (covers the black rim that surrounds the screen). This may arguably provide more protection but aesthetically speaking, it doesn't look as good to me as the shiny black rim from my TPU case that only comes up to the edge of the device (and not the LCD).
- Speaking of that rim, the one provided by the TPU case feels slightly thicker/more substantial than the rim provided by the silicone liner around the LCD. This is important to me because I feel the TPU material would provide an ever-so-slightly larger buffer between the LCD and the ground if the phone ever got dropped face first (but I'm really splitting hairs here). The silicone also feels like it would compress more vs TPU material if dropped, so that thin buffer/lip created by the silicone around the edge of the LCD might not be as good as TPU material at keeping the screen out of contact with the ground if the phone was dropped face first (pure speculation on my part though).
Aesthetically speaking, I like the TPU case better but that's just my opinion. The Acase may provide slightly better protection if the phone was dropped on its back or on its side due to the silicone/hard shell combination. But the TPU case may be better if the phone was dropped face first due to the slightly larger buffer/lip the TPU case should provide between the LCD and the ground. In the end, both the TPU case and the Acase are fine options and I don't think you can go wrong with either one (I will probably end up switching between the two of them every so often).
Just got this case in the mail today. I used to use the Commuter case and I just figured that I would get used to the flap. Got annoyed and just took off the case eventually.
This case better than the Commuter in almost all regards. The only point where the Commuter is better is that the USB port on the Commuter is covered. Sans that, this case is great.

Well the Commuter has a really bad habit of loosening out along the top and bottom because it's not supported there. It's pretty much solved on this case.
And yeah I think it's thinner than the Commuter but it's not so thin as to feel bad. It's feels quite solid. Much better than the Commuter IMO.
Thanks for the post. I ordered one as well..

I guess $30 or less.

Good prices on nice quality cases.
I personally like a hard silicon (TPU) case because of the impact resistance and ease of getting it on/off.
I like the Silicon cases from Verizon for the perfect fit, but I get a pretty good discount through my company there which makes the price a lot more manageable. My next case is on the way from the website above because I've seen how nice the cases are in person.
I've got several, and the Incipio or Seidio 2 piece cases are the best. I'm rocking the Seidio Active combo because I need a holster, but if you want my grey/black Incipio, I'd sell it for that price.
Pm me if interested

I had the incipio and hated it, it was a lint magnet which sucks if you carry your phone in your pocket.
I actually gave it away free to a poster on this site. I now use a hard rubber HTCPedia case that works with the extended battery and I love it.

I got this for like 12 bucks shipped
Many on this site mention it but they don't say much about it.
It's hard plastic not rubber.
It's like the rezounds battery door, meaning it's hard plastic that has been textured to feel like rubber.
The fit seems to be perfect.
The phone stays snug in the holster, but I can imagine over time it will loosen somewhat as the case gets worn and the plastic smooths from the friction.
All buttons are accessible.
Belt clip swivels 90 degrees in each direction and feels very sturdy.
The belt clip opening seems to be wide enough to secure to most belts.
The phone shell has a fold out that is used as a kickstand.
Overall, for the price this is a very good case.
With the proper screen protector I think the phone would survive a 3 foot drop with some possible scuffing on the top or bottom edges.
A drop while the phone is in the holster from 4 should not be very damaging if at all.
IMHO my phone is protected from day to day dings and clumbsy fumbles. Will the phone survive a falling out of my back pack while doing 80 MPH on my motorcycle? IDK.
That's my 2 cents
Hit thanks if it helps
Forgot the 1 real con.
There is no cutout on the holster for the micro usb port, so you can't pull the whole holster off and plug in, you need to take the phone out of the holster.
I may try to modify the holster with my dremel to make the charging port accessible while in the holster.

Thanks for the review! Been waiting for someone to review this case. For $6 I'm getting it for the kickstand alone.

I have that one as well and it's a good case and holster.
The only negative IMO is: I wish the case had more coverage around the top and bottom of the phone. Those parts are open and the phone or screen could break if the phone lands just right (or wrong...)
Is this the Incipio case mentioned earlier in the thread?

Go with a otterbox commuter case off of ebay. Big discount off MSRP. Total coverage, with soft case, additional coverage with hard over top. Also comes with a static screen protector.
I've had two on different phones. Great protection from drops, all ports are easily accessed, Makes power and vol buttons much easier to press.

NO, by static i mean one that doesn't use a water solution to install.
Its one that just lays on, like most of the cheap ones you can find.
If you want an Otterbox Defender..PM me. I have on that is practically new (including the screen protector unused) that I will sell for cheap.
Because this isn't a main stream phone, from what I can see, the choice of cases out there are really slim.
I bought a cheap case off ebay, which is ok, but i'm not terribly happy with. The case is from taipo212 on ebay, the 'rubber hard coating skin case'. It fits well and looks pretty good initially, but marks too easily due to the matte/rubber like material. It also came with a couple small marks already on it. However, I needed a case till I find the perfect case, and it was cheap.
I'm waiting on another case from ebay, which I will comment on when I receive it. A 'clear hard tough case' from 'yousave-au'. Would love to hear from anyone that has this already.
I couldn't find a generic cases thread for the mega 6.3, so I think this thread would be a big help to lots of people.
Can anyone who has a case comment on if the case is good, where you got it from etc, even people with bad experiences, if they can let us know, so we know what cases to avoid
I just ordered one of these from eBay UK for £1.99 with free screen protector. I like these ones as they are cheap and durable, it protects the whole phone and I have been using the same type of case for my Nexus 7, Original Note, Lg L3, and Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with no problems.

There are lots of generic cases available for the Mega 6.3 and in my experience they are quite good. Here are some ultra thin ones, I have tried this type of case on my original Note but didn't like it as the top and bottom of the phone are exposed to scratches.
These ones are advertised as Hydro Gel Rubber, whatever that means. I have also tried this with my original Note but after a few months it became loose and I went back to the S Line type case.
I use the S-Line and like it alot.
The phone is still slim and the texture is such that it doesnt hang up inside your pants front pocket when I pull it out..
Comes out and goes in smooth and is not slippery feeling like it will squirt out of my hand..
Im impressed. Just the features that I like..
EXCEPT.... one gripe.. I want the button covers removed. I want to feel and press the actual button and not the rubber button bumper..
I have a NillKin snap-on hard case (in black) for mine. This is quickly becoming my case of choice for all my phones - it's classy and maintains the thin waistline. It doesn't provide all-round edge protection though, so you need to be a bit more careful I also have a generic snap-on clear case, which looks alright but sits hard against some patches of the back, making it look a little cheap lol.

I have a TPU case like yours but the buttons are covered.
Where did you get your case??
Can you link us to your sweet case...
Is it flexible, TPU or a stiff plastic??

The "Army Green" version, it's really a very dark brown like oiled leather or hunter leather. It has the same look and feel as a wallet I bought from Amazon UK (Visconti Hunter) though of course it's not leather.
There's no go to sleep magnet in it but that was easily fixed. It's a third of the price of the last case I bought and feels much nicer in the hand, the inner phone holder part is hard plastic not tpu and is open at either end with cut outs for the volume and power buttons.

I have ordered a brown Nillkin for my white Mega.
Got my new case today, same as my blue ultra slim case but I got black.
Hi Gang,
I tried submitting this to Supcase itself on the product page of their website, but they have reCaptcha issues, I couldn't so it - So I was able to submit to them via the form for contacting them, which didn't have the same issue.
I figured that it could also be used here. Link to product (get through Amazon though, cheaper) and review I typed up:
http://www.supcase.com/google-nexus-6-unicorn-beetle-clear-bumper-protective-case.html
"New Nexus 6, and wanted a good looking case to go with it. Over at XDA Developers, the discussion drifted towards several, however the Supcase Hybrid jumped out at a lot of us besides myself.
I cannot speak to actual protection, nor do I really want to find out, however the case arrived 1 day before the phone, and my thoughts follow after 2 days of use (I have the Frosted Black):
Awesome aesthetics! - From the bevels on the front edges of the lips at the screen edge to the overall looks and integration of the outer PC ring to the TPU shell, it just looks fantastic. It doesn't, in my opinion, add any real size to the phone itself. The ridges give it some grip, and the TPU seems to be grippy enough for me (especially if you have a little sweat as you are getting used to handling this beast).
The cutouts work well, I only noticed a slight misalignment of the microphone hole on the back, that could be just due to the phone, or manufacturing, but overall it is not a deal breaker, enough of it is there to make it only noticeable as if one is writing a review, in operation no one would be able to tell (there are those who would just drill it out a bit and issue solved, I don't feel it necessary.)
Having the dimple for the Motorola symbol and the camera cutout make great reference points for using your hand holding it if not taking a pic/video, the phone is well balanced and once you have had it a couple of days you know what you can and shouldn't do with it in that regard. (I use Voice to text a lot, so I do not feel the urge to do one handed typing).
The power button and volume rocker are tight - in a good way - meaning you definitely have a solid feel to both. While others feel that the power button should have a different feel, or ridges on it to separate it from the rocker, my feeling on this is that for this phone, you only have the power and volume rocker, is it really that hard to know what you have slid your finger onto? (Realistically I would have preferred if Moto had placed the volume rocker on the other side as like my old Galaxy Nexus, that accomplished separation, plus if Supcase had made one like this for that phone, each side would lend to give leverage to the other when pressing, I'm saying those buttons are solid, and that's what you want.
I chose the frosted over the black/black, because I want to see the nexus logo, and they didn't disappoint, the phone I have is blue however the frosted areas give it a grey tone even in direct sunlight, and it complements the black outer PC ring. Outstanding.
The only negativity I can find is that on my unit after two days, the upper PC lip seems to be slightly "up" from the phone, this is, I feel, due to me having taken the case off a couple of times, my method was to push te top of the screen up and then corners over to then slide off, it may be that it should be set and forget, but this is not a deal breaker either, it has to give a bit to get onto and off the phone, but it is on, and on good, it's not going anywhere.
That's it for my review - If you want a minimal case to use with the phone that looks great, this is the one to get, as stated I cant say how well it would protect your phone, I've only dropped a phone once, and don't want to try this one, but for the cost they offer for it, you get every penny."

Nice ?
This is my favorite case so far on this phone. I use the clear one on my white N6 and it looks awesome.
Now if only someone had pics of the red one (cant find anything online). And if only someone had pictures of any color with carbon fiber skin showing through.

I don't have pictures of red one, but my buddy bought exactly the same case for his Note 4, red one, and... well... in reality it looks more pinkish than redish... long story short, he went back to his old case after a week because of the color.

Wow that is a very nice case, as far as the slimmest case that still offers protection. You guys think there's anything else competitive? Like a silicone one that fits really well?

The Spigen tpu air bumper case would be what your looking for. The supcase is nicer though still.
Thx for the fast response. Those were nice but I wanted skinnier. I ordered Ringke slim gunmetal. Ok, no? It's not for major drop protection I mainly just want to minimize case scratches.

I saw this case and immediately ordered it. It'll get here before my N6 will . :crying:
I'm kind of a case whore though, and will probably buy several others before all is said and done. With my Nexus 5, I had 13 cases. Nice little review, thanks.
Ordered on Saturday, received it today. Love Amazon 1 day shipping (was actually free for me on Prime).
First impressions, it is a really nice premium case. It feels good in the hands, buttons are nice to press on (not as nice as Ringke Fusion but better than Spigen Ultra Hybrid). Doesn't add much bulk, plays nice with my tempered glass protector, cutouts are perfect. The dimple is properly aligned with the case. So far I'm pretty impressed and this is probably the best case in my opinion that shows off the back of the phone.
The camera cutout could be further in but is deep enough to withstand a drop if the phone was to be dropped. The phone with the case inside feel good in the hands.

Yea same here, kind of surprising, had never seen free one day shipping before. But ordered yesterday and got it today.
So far, love it. I also ordered a ringke slim and a spigen slim armor. The ringke is easily the smallest case as it is really slim, but it also feels like a cheapish piece of plastic. The spigen was good, but a little bit hefty and the buttons on it were terrible.
This is inbetween in size. Small enough that the added bulk doesn't make the phone seem too big, but enough to feel it offers some food protection. It feels good in the hand and looks great. The buttons are a bit stuff but pretty good.
The only real downside is the small microphone? hole near the bottom of the back is slightly misaligned, as the op said.
Can you guys please compare to the ringe fusion?
Also interested in the difference in bulk between this and the fusion
Supcase feels a little thicker but I think its more that the material is harder. It definitely feels slightly bulkier than the fusion.
Just received mine. First case for my nexus as I just received it today too but damn does it feel good. Buttons feel nice and love the clear back to show off the white. Deff slim and love the way its perfectly designed for the nexus with the indent on the back.
I have the PRO SERIES an man is it good! I've had it on since a week after I got the phone. Only complaint is the camera hole is to long (all the way to the Moto symbol). But the protection is there, feel is good, grip is excellent, all cutouts are lined up great! Add the fact that our N6's are water resistant! I'm feeling safe!

There's a difference, but it's not a bad difference. It's bulkier than the Fusion but still very much slim and easy to hold in 1 hand.

Major comparisons:
1. Buttons on the Ringke Fusion is a lot better, it's clicky. But by no means that the Supcase buttons are bad, they're actually pretty good and nice to press but Fusion is clicky.
2. The Ringke Fusion back is prone to scratches very easily and depending on what color you get. Crystal View may become "yellowish" over time.
3. The dust covers aren't on the Supcase which is a ++++. Yeah you can cut it off but that's kinda cheap.
4. The Nexus 6 "dimple" is present on the Supcase which is really cool, makes the N6 easier to hold on.
5. Supcase has more grip and feels better in the hands. It is slightly more bulky but doesn't add much bulk when compared to a Spigen Slim Armor or something. Very easy to type with one hand and hold with excellent grip.
I love the look of this case (always have) but I'm concerned with the amount of protection it provides vs the Diztronic Ultra I ended up buying on release back at the end of Nov or beginning of Dec (whenever it came out.. Can't remember).
