Anyone done this? Since there aren't too many style choices in super slim cases (I consider slim case to be one where it does not stick out farther than the camera, like the Bear Motion or Spigen Ultra Fit) - I was considering getting a Gelaskin back and throwing a clear cover over it, since the skin sticker won't stick that well to the textured back.
Curious if anyone has tried it, what case they used, and how it looks.

Anyone have any of the SUPCASE Cases?
I am looking at the
Unicorn Beetle Premium Hybrid Protective Case (Frost Clear/Gray)

http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Case-...TF8&qid=1407161034&sr=1-4&keywords=lg+g3+case
I have the Spigen Slim Armor now but its too slippery and the back scratches easily.
The bigger cut outs of the back buttons on the SUPCASE look like they would be better then how the SlimArmor is setup.
Can any provide any pictures of theres and how they like it? Or if they bought one but ended up not liking it and getting something else?
I received the first one you mention on Friday (clear/black) and I love it.
The fit is tight and the cut outs are perfect. It keeps the phone pretty slim and looks great with the clear back.
I had a similar case for my galaxy s4 from poetic and it was just a great look for me.
If you're rough with your phone and it gets banged around alot or dropped alot, then this might not be for you.
It offers average protection, which is good for me 90% of the time as I work in an office or I'm in my car.
For slightly better protection I bought the verus iron shield which I should be receiving today and am very excited about.
It also looks great and will protect my g3 a little better on the weekends.
Anyway, I do highly recommend the supcase after a few short days and the price is pretty good too.
As far as pics, the ones on amazon do it justice.
Hope this helps. There are many good cases and you won't do wrong with any of them.

Thanks for the input.I was looking at the Versus Thor case also but some reviews said it affects signal. And the back button cut out on is tight like on the slim armor and that kinda bothers me..The supcase button cuts are larger which i think would be better
I'll let you know about the verus as I'll have it this afternoon.
I read the same about signal but I also read in more places that it wasn't true.
The video reviews on youtube really sold it for me an hopefully I like it as much as I think I will.
Take it easy.

I have the first one and agree with bkrickels.
I might prefer something a little thinner, but this certainly isn't bulky. No complaints on the back buttons with this.
Definitely no issue with signal. I can keep a call up every time driving on this one road that my GS3 dropped the call on every time.
I do hope Qi works through this case. I'll probably know that next week when my sticker comes.

Back button complaint was on the Verus Case and my slim armor..signal issues was geared towards reviews on the Verus case
I got the Unicorn Beetle and so far I like it. It has a good feel in your hands but it does add some bulk to the rear of the phone. It is a somewhat thick case and does add some mm onto the phone and weight.
I forget how much it does so until I remove the case and feel how light and thin the G3 actually is.
It does offer some great protection and this case WILL NOT bounce or fall apart during a fall or impact. The G3 fits impressively nice and snug in its case.
It is a PITA to remove the phone though, this thing is practically cemented in but once you know how to get it off, but just doesn't take as long but still is hard to do so.
It does come with a built in screen protector but I didn't need it because I had a tempered glass one installed. So I removed it and then had to spend half an hour removing all the glue that was holding it in place. The damn protector just pops out and leaves ALL its glue and adhesive on the inside of the front section of the case.
I used Goo Gone, thinner, hot water and soap and I still had to scrub it off. What a PITA...
But, I need a rough and tumble case for my job and the Unicorn does it.
Just be forewarned, it does add a bit of bulk and weight to the phone but it feels good holding it and! It has its corners notched off, giving it a Galactica prop like effect.

Thanks for the info..This Unicorn Beetle PRO Serie is case I am leaning towards..On my past phones Glaxay Nexus and Note 2 i used Otterbox defender and Seidio cases. So I would assume this adds about the same bulk.
Do you have any pics of the phone in the case or side by side to how much bulk it does add?
Also curious if the back scratches easy or holds up well.
I have a glass protector also so id be removing the bultin one
Ordered the Verus Thor from Amazon and I ended up sending it back. To me, it wasn't slim. It added some bulk to it. I have the Seidio Surface and I love it. Minimal bulk and still keeps near its original form factor.
i have the one with the clear back and i had it on my m8 and it is one of the best cases out there.
I just got my G3 on Friday and the first thing I did was go on Amazon and order the Clear/Black Supcase and temepered glass screen protector. They really make the best slim TPU style case. Nice and tight fitting, never had to worry about the material stretching on your like other TPU style cases. If there is a Supcase for my device im running it plus tempered glass and im good! Can't go wrong with it.
Not concerned with the case keeping a slim design..I'd rather have protection over looks
Using a Supcase, black with black.
Slim and works fine with my tempered screen protector.

I'm rocking the Hybrid Case and love it. I've been an exclusive Spigen customer for years but their case had that cutout which turned me away. This Supcase has the same protection level and looks just as good. The clear back keeps the phones sharp look too. Highly recommend!
I have the first one in gray/clear on my white G3. Looks good. Good protection. Have to agree on earlier post that it is difficult to remove phone from.
Did you look ringke max case? For me is perfect one
i bought both!
i love the frost one and the bigger when when i plan to go outdoors (camping, hiking)
but the slimmer frost one is my daily.
I have one but found the straight edges make it a little uncomfortable to hold. I've gone back to the ultra slim gel case from eBay for about 2.99 feels great and noticeably lighter.
i have the slim sup case.
I like how tight fit it is, even though sides are soft, because fit is so tight, it doesn't move at all. really good case
i don't like how the back is so slippery.
try the Digtronic one too.. I'm tempted to order that one as a backup case.
I have the first case you posted in clear with Gray edges. It looks great on my white phone. My only complaint is that the cut outs on the bottom are uncomfortable. When I am playing with my phone for a while. They irritate my pinkie.

Anybody try this case yet?
http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-category/protection/slim-shell-case-for-motorola-nexus-6.html
I had a dualtek way back with my s3 so I am going to take a chance and get one of these. Ill post some pictures when i get it.
I know it's a poor picture but it's the best I could do. Got the slim today and is great. I've now had the slim armor, the ultra hybrid, the ringke fusion, and this. The pure gear is the best out of those. It's got the same grip as the fusion but fits tighter and seems slimmer than the fusion. Plus the black outline along with the dbrand carbon fiber looks great. If you've never had anything from pure gear you should try them.
I've only just started using it but it's got 3 small feet on the back that will hopefully help keep scratches down, my fusion is pretty scratched up already. The pure gear also just feels smaller. Seems like about the same protection, except the fusion has caps for the sub and headphone jack.

I'd like to see better images of this case if you are able. I'll be making a decision, soon.
Thanks.
Do you think it would be possible to cut the clear back out of it to make an edge only bumper?
I'm not usually one to use a cases on my electronic devices. I like my phones like I like my women, naked with a nice screen protector.
But since the G3 seems to be made of some of the most slippery plastic I've ever held, I dropped it a few feet the other day and slightly nicked the corner of it. So I'm looking for a very simple case, but as I said in the title, I'm picky.
It doesn't need to protect it all that much, but one thing I can't stand is when the case comes up over the edge of the screen. I'll use an example of a case that someone posted on the "Show us your case" thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3337032&d=1432863723
See that slight "rim" around the edge of the bezel? It bothers me, which is why the two cases I've already bought are sitting at home unused. I need it to be flush, or even recessed from the front of the phone.
Does anyone know of a fairly basic case that won't have anything protruding up around the edges of the screen? I'd love one of those official replacement back cases from LG, but they're apparently extremely rare. So other options would be great.
Thanks!
If you dislike cases why not just get a full body clear skin from Skinomi or Bodyguardz? I'd recommend the LG Slim Guard Case. It has a raised lip but is super minimal, almost flush with the screen. This case unlike other thin G3 cases offers full body coverage/protection. LG also has the Slim Hard Case however this case does not offer fully cover the phone. The Ringke Slim is another good case option. It does have a small lip. Check ebay for the OEM cases if you can't find them on Expansys
I'm trying to find a good case for the Nexus 6 i just bought but there are so many choices that I'm having trouble deciding. Can anyone help?
- Nothing to bulky, device is big enough as is
- Decent drop protection
- Solid colors and simple design, no "Crystal clear" cases (Unicorn beetle seems to get high ratings but it looks absolutely horrible as an example)
Any suggestions? I like the look of the Ringke SLIM cases in white and mint (as an example of the aesthetics i like) but i keep reading about them scratching the phone itself and I'm not sure it offers much drop protection.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
I was concerned about the beetle aesthetics too, but I love it once I actually saw it on my phone. I've got the red with a white nexus. I like the frosted back because you can still see the nexus logo but it hides the tiny scratches that make the crystal clear ones look terrible after a week. the feel is also very good too, I find it easier than holding the phone naked
I really like my poetic affinity case. Very slim and the corners have some extra padding. I'm using this one over the incipio dual pro which was more bulky and not nearly as good looking.
Spigen neohybrid case (about $12 online). It is thin and had decent protection. NFC and wireless Qi charging also work flawlessly.
have the ringke slim and no scratch issues. have only taken off 3 times in past 3 months for a quick cleaning. started with Orzly flexislim but it was too slick felt like i was going to drop the phone. ringke slim has more grip (though i still would prefer more)
love my diztronic case on my nexus. good looking and very slim.
Agree with kellybrf, the beetle is definitely a very good looking case for this phone. I have a carbon fiber skin and the case shows it off pretty well along with the nexus logo and the moto dimple.

Ditto. Best low-profile, impact-protecting case out there.
Been using this brand for my N4 and N5 (and now N6), and this is the BEST low profile case out there.
So I recently got the Poetic Affinity case for my S7 after having one for my old Moto X, and I thought i'd give another review!
Honestly, most of what i said for my Moto X review remains the same here; it's pretty much the same case, but made for the GS7. Here's some pics:
http://imgur.com/a/TEOFt
now, it's a nice case if you like a clear case. i'm not 100% partial to clear cases, as I dislike how smudgy and fingerprinty they get from all the grease on your hands throughout the day , much like a screen gets. it's bad enough I have to keep wiping down my screen, so I'm not a huge fan of also wiping down the case! for this reason, I'm not a huge gel TPU fan either anymore.
but, if you like a 100% crystal clear case that's a flexible TPU, get this case. the clear case shows off the cool colored glass back of the GS7, which as you move it in the light, you can see it shine in different ways. In that respect, it looks awesome!
now, the case fits easily, and it's got some nice TPU rubber corners for drop protection. This black TPU extends throughout the back, so when you put the phone down on it's back, it's actually being held up by the TPU rather than the clear back, which will definitely resist a lot of scratches on the clear portion of the case itself.
The camera cutout is great, and there's full availability to the heart rate monitor.
All of the ports are precisely cut out and are easily able to be used. The side buttons are tight, but not too tight, so they're easily clickable, but they won't be clicked by accident. The "ribbed" side grips are also great for holding on to the phone.
All in all, it's a really great case and totally worth checking out!

It is a nice review , definitely will check it out . thank you
Will you do one for the Revolution when it comes out soon? I had it for the S6 and Note5 and it's a lot better than Otterbox Defender. I emailed poetic and it's not supposed to have the kickstand or the goofy loop on the top like the Note5 did which didn't allow for wireless charging.
