If you have or found a good case, post it here.
I bought the official case from TMO. It's a little pricey but provides excellent protection. As a matter of fact, the faucet in my bathroom leaks and I left my tablet on the counter one night. I woke the next morning and my tablet was sitting in a puddle of water that extended halfway up the case. Took the case off, wiped everything down, and plugged it back in. Worked fine. Even the liquid indicator was still white.

Ditto on the TMO case.. seems $20 too high, but honestly a pretty good hunk of hardware for your tablet. I will have one spare once I have my tablet mounted into my car dash..

Another vote for the TMo case and you are right about the price but you can buy it off Ebay for about $20 less unless you are like me and want it right now.
Can anyone pls post a picture/link to this TMo case?
Would like to know how it looks, whats the price and where to get it.. thanks

The brand is Incipio and I purchased mine from a TMo store for like $50. I had seen the same one on Ebay for half the price but I didn't want to wait. I checked Ebay and the case is no longer listed. I also looked on the Incipio web site and they don't even list it. I don't have a picture but the case is black and the tablet kind of snaps down into the bottom part of the case. You can open the case(it is held closed with an elastic strap) and you have three positions that the tablet can be set into. They range from a fairly good tilt to darn near upright. I have found the case to be quite nice and it really doesn't add much to the overall size. Hope this helps.

Pictures attached.
On the second picture, you can see bubbles in the microfiber. That's the glue separating because I got it wet.
I bought on ebay a smart cover like this from the auction 170821966479. It's thin, good protection and a good stand. I am very happy with it.
The TMO case is so popular in the US, but outside there are two options: universal 7 inch case or a not so bad case designed for the media pad. Search for t-mobile springboard case on ebay.
I bought a cheap-o case off eBay for $16. Listing was questionable as the sellers account was terminated the day after I bought it. I still got the case this morning after 3 weeks though. 2 problems with it. It's a little too thing for the springboard, so the outside edge around the display doesn't quit fold over all the way and sticks up. Secondly, the hole for the front facing camera is slightly off and the camera just barely peeks out from it.
Might not stick with the case though. Without the case I've always been able to stick it in my back pocket (slacks or jeans) and walk around with it to a few places, lunch breaks, dog walks, etc. With the case its a no go.

Yes, I have also found this one on eBay. I have ordered it (the same colour like lilaliend). But it never arrived (I got my money back). Fortunatelly!!
After the first attempt with eBay, I have decided to invest a bit more money and ordered a leather case from PDair:
qqq.pdair.com/index.php/ebook-reader-tablet/huawei/huawei-mediapad/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black.htmk
(in the URL please replace qqq with www and htmk with html)
You can buy it directly from PDair for $80. This is quite a lot of money. But PDair's reseller for Middle East sells the same case ("book type") for $60:
tbeyond.com/leather-case-for-huawei-mediapad-book-type-black-p-14363.htmk
(in the URL please replace htmk with html)
Free Worldwide Shipping. Even though the reseller is based in United Arab Emirates, the case came from Hong Kong. Delivery to Germany was without any problems.
My experience with the case from PDair: The case is simply excellent. I highly recommend it. It is worth the money:
PROS:
- durable black leather
- magnets! It closes with magnets
- the tablet fits nicely into the case (in contrast to the cheap case from eBay - see post from lilaliend)
- all holes (front and rear cameras, USB and HDMI ports, charger) are precisely where they should be
CONS:
- the case is rather thick. They use multiple layers of leather (you can see it on the pictures on the PDair website). So the tablet is really well protected. But with the case you can not put the tablet into your back pocket...
TMobile Incipio case for Springboard has dropped in price
If you were to shop for it now on the TMobile site the Incipio case is now $29. That's about $15 to maybe $20 cheaper than when I bought it earlier in the year. ARGH!
I do love my case though. The only thing that's bad is when you are in portrait mode and the front cover doesn't sit nicely back when holding it in that position.
Marware Jurni
I wanted a case that had a zippered closure, for added protection. I had this case from when I had purchased the Kindle Fire. But I decided to see if it would fit the Springpad. It does, with a bit of sanding or cutting.
This is an option if you are willing to sand down or cut two nibs from the top two clips. Each clip has two nibs, the one you want to sand down or cut is the one on the right for each clip. I have attached some pictures so you can see the zippered case and the two clips above, and a close up of the cut. Mine is a bit sloppy, but hey, I'm not complaining. See pictures.

Great... I am happy with my incipio but I got this off ebay because it would be nice to prop it in portrait mode. I guess I could report how well it does when it comes.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Magic...7-SLIM-MediaPad-SPRINGBOARD?item=270998785548
this is my combo "temporary" case and universal stand. :laugh:
still looking for a folio-type case and I just got news that the local distributor here already has stocks and giving it for free for new buyers of MediaPad. :silly:
I wanted a case that protects the corners, could prop up the MediaPad in landscape and (!) did not cover the front (like some cases that cover the bezel around the display).
Turns out that this case for the Lenovo Ideapad A1 fits just fine. Only the hole for the camera is in the wrong place, but I don't use the Pad's camera anyway. Nice sleek design. Reeks of plastic/glue the first few days, but the smell wears off quickly and then you have a smart-looking case for your MediaPad.
Apparently this case comes with different names around the globe. Have a look at the pictures and see what's available in your country.
Hi
I'm using the EasyAcc Case for nearly a year now.
It fits great, exept the hole for the frontcamera could be a milimeter bigger.
I do not know, in it is available outside Germany.

Ordered Bounce and Ultra-Crystal also. Only brand name case I could get before phone arrives.
Anyone have past experience with Bounce models?
I love the ultra-Crystal and Ultra-oleophobic from Spigen. Have used on all my phones since Captivate.

I also ordered the Bounce case (it shipped today) and the crystal screen protectors. The Bounce case looked to be the best combination of value, looks, light weight, and protection. I'll report back on their performance once I've got everything (The screen protectors are the only item I've gotten so far)
I wonder how the buttons will work. I hope that the "feeling: that you are pressing the button remains..

My wife has a TPU for her HTC one and access to the buttons suck!
the bounce looks like a very light weight skin....no additional protection except the fact that it will help avoid getting your phone dinged!
I'm sure once the phone is officially out we'll be getting better cases...patience is not a virtue
OP, if you're looking at Spigen, I like the looks of this one...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DCIZJEY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
Looks a little more classy than the one you linked (in my opinion)
Bah, they dropped the prices on the neo hybrid by $10. I'd have considered it at that price Oh well, the Bounce looks great. I'll know in a few days for sure
Spigen is really all over the road on their pricing. First the $1 promo on select items, then they jumped to $29.99, then $34.99, now down to $24.99 its fine to lower the price but they better fix the ones they charged and haven't shipped and perhaps fix those that just shipped as well. It would be good for customer relations.

Finally on their FB page they are saying if you want one to let them know. They are gauging interest, that what I read in the thread/poll about that case. Since they cannot commit to one I am looking at this instead http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSF2SSGT3K-DG Sedio Ledger with metal kickstand. Has magnetic closure and big S-View window. The price is right, I just wish they offered some better color options, but I might get the red/grey combo for some flash.

This looks phenomenal. Just wish it was a bit cheaper. For those who have used flip covers in the past how do you feel about them compared to regular cases? I just ordered the neo hybrid as my first note 3 case and currently have a Seidio active on my note 2 which I like(although it's a bit bulky). But I'm thinking about trying the above Seidio Ledger case when it is released. My biggest concern is it becoming a nuisance with the extra flap hanging around, especially when taking pictures or attempting to use with one hand. Thoughts? Experiences?
I had the Slim Armor View on the GS4 and I didn't find it intrusive at all, I simply flipped the cover back and used the phone as if it wasn't there. The Ledge from Seidio looks to be the same. Obviously when using the camera you won't want the cover folded back even if it does line up, the extra plastic in between the image and the lens will likely cause for crappy images.
Still its a small price to pay for full protection and a view window.

Received the Bounce from Spigen the other day and without phone inside it fits my Seidio Active holster from the Note 2 very well. The top half of the holster that the screen faces doesn't appear to be wide enough to protect it edge to edge, but sold my Note 2 on 8/31 so I cannot compare.
Yes, I am one of those that uses a holster. At work only though.
I am 6' 3" and 240lbs so I tell myself it doesn't look as obvious, but my wife and kids say otherwise

I have used extreme guard on all my devices for years, I even had it on my Note 3, I have 2,, me and my wife... but 3 months ago, my cousin found someone on ebay, lucky he was close to our neighborhood, and delivered the protectors...
It is even better, its the tempered glass... cost 10 bucks each.. feels so smooth and so real... this is my 3 phone, my 2nd replacement from my original Note 3, and this is the same tempered glass... I must have took it off over 20 times, because and eyelash fell in, some little dust, and I removed it and took off the little specs and it still looks great.. except on the lower right corner has a little air pocket, but remove it about 20 times.. I don't care about it anymore.. this is the guy, I couldn't find the Note 3, but we have bought 3 Note 3... 2 S4, and 1 for HTC One M7, and 1 or the Note 2... also 2 iPhone 5s..
My cousin actually dropped his getting out of his SUV.. all that happened was the screen shattered,,, well not the screen the temper screen, that is what is supposed to happen, the temper glass is supposed to protect the original glass, he didn't have a case...
I sold my Note 2 to my other cousin in March, she still has it on.. no problems.. the guy is cool is all I can say, none of us has a scratch on the glass... it is awesome,
this is the link to this guy, and the price dropped, we got them all for 10, now there cheaper, http://www.ebay.com/itm/PremiumTempe...item3ce3ca6890

Anyone with experience from Xtremeguard, got a question for you
I paid for the 2-5 day USPS package shipping, but the shipping confirmation email states they shipped it via the 6-10 day regular envelope method.
Is it just a canned response email and the shipping i chose was used or did i get screwed out of 2 bucks? I know its not a lot of money, but its still something i paid for so i am curious. I dont want to end up with a damaged tempered glass protector like the last one i got from Amazon which was shipped in an envelope.
Anyone able to tell me if this fits with an Otterbox commuter? Before i order something from the other side of the planet
(6 quit shipping, that's the price of the product, bloody hell. Books weight 50 times more and ship for free...)

I also got a similar email, however when I checked under my account on their website, there is a tracking number available. So I guess this email is an auto-generated one which gets sent to all once the item is shipped. You should check under your account on their website for more information.

I have had 5 samsung galaxy phones with no screen protection and not one has a scratch..
Used the VZW shell/kickstand/holster case for my previous two phones (G2 / Note 3) and loved it.
Was waiting...hoping VZW would put one out for the N6 once they started to carry it, and it looks like they have:

Anybody seen one or tried it to verify it actually fits? I for sure want one if it fits.
It fits.
Haven't ordered my Nexus 6 yet, but I'm looking at this one on Amazon for when I do. Looks similar and cheap enough to buy one and try it out.

It will work just fine. But why would you spend $30 on such a cheap case? If you're going to get a cheap case with a kickstand, get it from Amazon. This one looks really solid and comes only in black with a lifetime warranty and is only $8! This other one also comes with a lifetime warranty but comes in 4 different colors and it's $12! If it says that it's for the Nexus 6, it'll work on any Nexus 6, no matter where you buy it. :good:

I think you quoted the wrong person. I'm saying I'm going to try the $8 one first, and I saw the $12 one that you linked as well, and I'd try that one second. All before shelling out $30 from Verizon.

I can tell you from past experience that those cases look just like the shell combo Verizon offers but the quality isn't the same. I had both the Verizon brand and ones from Amazon on my m8 and note 3 the Verizon shell is always better. The ones from Amazon never provide a decent lip(lay on table clearance for screen), and the holster for the Amazon ones always break super easy unlike the one from Verizon. I hate overpaying for cases at carrier stores but in this case (pun intended lol) it is a difference, I've noticed on two of my past phones.
Thanks for the comments and the links!
I get a very good discount on accessories and stuff at Verizon through a "deal" with my employer so it's just a couple dollars more expensive than the Amazon cases.
I have this case and it offers absolutely no protection. I shattered my screen the 1st time it fell (2days) I just ordered a trident aegis for the new one when it gets here.

Sorry to hear - I had the similar Verizon case for both my Droid Incredible and Galaxy S III, but went with more protection for the latter, then decided to go with a dual-layer case/holster combo for the Nexus 6 due to its bulk.
IMHO, less is not more when it comes to Nexus 6 protection.

Actually I was hoping that since Verizon now has the Nexus, Otterbox would build a Defender for us..hell Verizon f#cked up the Xperia Z3 into the Z3v and Otterbox built a Defender for it(even though its plain with no design whatsoever). Now that Verizon has the 6 you'd think they would have enough of a demand for the Defender...I have the Unicorn Beetle case and I miss the full silicone skin that the OB has...oh well, rant over.

if you like the otterbox, check out ballistic tough maxx. use the code Terry30 for free shipping and 30%/$15 discount. ordered the tough jacket maxx a little while ago was $49.99 cost $34.99 shipped with the code. the case is great, had it fall out of my jeep with 6 inches of lift onto the pavement and survived without a single scratch. far better than the otterbox i had on my last phone
Ordered this CellJoy case in "red": http://www.amazon.com/CellJoy-X-Hatch-Motorola-Holster-Kickstand-/dp/B00SXF5O3W/
But when it arrived it was not even close to the vibrant red color as in the photo on Amazon. It was a dark maroon color, same as Texas A&M colors. Not bad if you are an Aggie fan, but not good if you are LSU.
My main issue is with the kickstand. The Kickstand is offset too far to the side for the large N6 so that it is very unstable when propped up in landscape. The kickstand on the CellJoy was also cumbersome to deploy and not as smooth as when I had the Verizon variant on my previous phone.
My Verizon version case/holster is tough to remove from the holster. Any tips to getting it out easier? Does it loosen a bit over time?
I purchased a oneplus 6t a few weeks ago and am now looking for a case with a built in magnetic ring. I have a magnetic mount that I really like using and after my last flight I decided I really want something that can prop my phone up. Funny how little things made me change my mind about the screen size and having a kickstand of sorts. Anyways, I've been looking on Amazon and all the cases I see look like clones of each other and the ones that people review on mention how it is flimsy, provides poor protection and the ring breaks after 4 days. Also the text, auto focus and ultimate experience really turn me off on getting the case.
Currently I'm using the case that came with the phone and I put a ailun magnetic keyring in the back but the bump is starting to annoying me when I place the phone down. Any suggestions?

Yes, I also ordered that same one from Nillkin through Giztop last week or so .along with their H+Pro screen protector. Hopefully, it will be worth the wait if it ever gets here that is.I will be sure to post my opinions once I get it.
Hope you guys aren't disappointed when you get them. I was looking at possibly getting them, but noticed the case is for the OP6, not 6T. And if you look at the title/description, it says 6, and later 6T, very inconsistently.

I ordered my case from ebay, has not arrived yet but the seller is trusted. I have purchased all my cases from the same buyer, takes 2 weeks to get in Finland. And this one is for the 6T, not the 6.
The same casemodel for LG G6 was total rubbish, very flimsy and cheap. But if the pictures are right, this one is totally different. I guess it depend from the shape and size of the phone.
Ok, I've had it on for a couple days now. I actually like it. I can see how it may not provide much protection to glass as the edges are pretty even with the glass. I used to have Loopy case and this is pretty similar. The ring on the back appears to be taped on with 3m tape, but pretty sturdy nonetheless. Works on my magnetic mounts as well. For the price, I say it was worth it for now. The oem case went over the glass too much making the edge difficult to access. Gonna stick with this case.
