I'm currently running this combo and I honestly don't believe that I could be happier with anything other than my Black UAG case with the "Nillkin Amazing H+" Tempered Glass Protector. Everything looks GREAT, feels like it could be an oem "industrial" variant of the Note 3, and best of all, SUPERIOR protection all around the phone. I feel much, much more confident about the security and durability of my phone now that I've got it completely wrapped up all the way around. The Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP is a very solid, yet buttery smooth, screen protector that bonds to the screen sooooo well that no one else even knows that I've got a TGP on the front screen. The edges of this protector are sooo smoothly rounded over to where it meets the edges of my Note 3 that you don't really feel any gap in screen coverage at all. You can run your fingers up the side of the phone and they just glide right on up and over to the front of the phone ALMOST without even knowing that the TGP and the frame of the phone are totally separate pieces.
At first I was skeptical that this would work with my UAG case because before I had any kind of screen protector on the phone, it was already a very tight squeeze to fit it in the UAG case. I felt almost certain that any added thickness to the phone itself(the thickness of the TGP) would render my UAG case useless, but that was not the case. Yea, it took a tad bit more wiggling the phone around while trying to stuff it in the UAG case, but it popped right on in there just fine.
Everything fits together just wonderfully and I'm 100% satisfied that I went this route. I have no doubt in my mind that my VERY expensive Note 3 is protected from any drops, scratches, etc.(...not waterproof though =/ ) about as well as it's ever gonna be. Before I had my phone wrapped in this kinda of stellar protection, I would hardly let anyone use my phone for anything at all, let alone even touch it! But now, I feel comfortable enough that I don't hardly hesitate when 4-year old son asks me if I will let him hold my phone to flip through picture albums, watch his favorite movies and TV shows, play Angry Birds, or even draw me a silly picture with the S-Pen. If I ever, and that's big "IF", find myself in the market for a case/screen protector combo for this phone again in the future, I can just stop the search right there, dead in its tracks.....I'll be ordering the UAG case and Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Screen Protector and calling it a day!!
....and one more thing....you better believe it...given the product availability and high rate of tech advancements we're currently experiencing, this combo WILL be part of my "arsenal" of accessories for my next phone, whatever that may be...Note 4?

So tempted to get one too after seeing so many positive reviews on UAG case. But there's one thing that bothers me according to some reviews on amazon, has UAG revised on the design and left a cutout for the thermal sensor below the bottom right of the bezel?

I have the same combo but my tempered glass is brando 00.2mm. No problems with fitting and doesnt bury the home button. You will not even notice that it is tempered glass since it is soooo thin. I suggest you consider it.

Where did you get your Nillkin TPG? I've looked on ebay but they all ship from China. I know they are Chinese but I fell more comfortable when they ship from the US. UAG cases are awesome btw. I have the white and black one.

I ordered mine with my Amazon Prime account in the weeeee hours of Thursday, January 16th around like 3:00am-4:00am and got a knock on my door from the UPS man the very next day, Friday, January 17th around 2:45pm....that right there is why I LOVE Amazon Prime!! =) Given that, you don't need to worry one bit about putting your money out there on Ebay to a sketchy/iffy merchant on the other side of the planet in China, while not really knowing if you'll receive your order in 2 weeks, 3 weeks, 1 month...or hell, quite possibly not even at all !! That's why I always try my darndest to stick with the "Fulfilled by Amazon" items on Amazon.com. Sooooo, anyway...lol...I got a little side-tracked there...my bad! :silly:
Anyway, what I was gettin at, was where I got my Nillkin TGP. I ordered it on Amazon and it was a "Fulfilled by Amazon" item, so I didn't have much of anything to worry about there. Just to make things a LOT quicker and a little bit more simplified for ya, I'll point ya in the right direction. Seriously though, click the link to Amazon at the bottom of this post, check out the Nillkin Amazing H+ TGP listing, gravitate the cursor on over towards the right side of the page and click "Add to Cart" and be done with it. A few days later when you receive it and carefully install it, you'll be looking this thread up to tell us just the same type of things that I also mentioned in my previous post..guaranteed.(Well, assuming that everything went well regarding your order, packaging quality, and item shipment, etc.)
Yea, it may only have a few customer reviews SO FAR, but take that with a grain of salt. As soon as I can get a spare chance, I'll also be adding my review for this Nillkin TGP. So don't hesitate to order one of these! Assuming that you know how to install it properly, or at least if you don't already know, do your homework and read all the advice here on these forums, read the instructions that come in the package (if you need to) and take your time putting it on your screen and you should be as happy of a customer as I am! Sooo, anyway, here's the link,,,,finalllllyyyy!!! lol :good:
Amazon: "Nillkin Amazing H+ Tempered Glass Protector"
So Poetic has some new cases due to come out on October 30th according to Amazon. They look very nice and are definitely my style of case.
Here they are:
Turtle Skin: http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Shield...869&sr=8-6&keywords=nvidia+shield+tablet+case
Revolution: http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Shield...69&sr=8-15&keywords=nvidia+shield+tablet+case
Personally considering the Turtle Skin case as the ability to use your stylus as a kickstand is great. Not sure why the Revolution version has most of the speakers covered. (Unless those spots they cut out are the only areas where sound is coming out?)
What do you guys think? I'll be updating this post with the Turtle Skin case as soon as I get it.
No speaker holes.
I was looking at those the other day and couldn't figure out why the frig they covered up 90% of the speaker ports.
Kind of makes dual forward facing speakers a moot point? Someone in the final approval dept. needs to get off the crack and look at the way it actually works lol.
Poetic is great. Ive had 3 tablets prior to the shield and used poetic cases for them all. These are terrible cases compared to the ones Ive used before. I cant bare to think of how hot the k1 will get in these beasts.

Yeah I was a sucker and paid way too much for the Shield tablet cover, but after using it and playing the k1 optimized games I know why they went with the open back design with minimal contact points. It would be awesome to find a silicone bumper or something to still fit the tablet but a fully covered back on the shield is not a great idea if you actually use it for gaming IMO.
Pre-ordered a revolutions case.
As for the speakers if you play around covering up the grills you'll notice that where poetic have put their holes is actually where the sounds comes out the most.
Has anyone tried the turtle case yet? I had ordered the Revolution back in Oct but was not one of the ones to get the first shipment so I canceled it and went with a flip cover case. However for normal day to day use the flip cover case is kind of annoying and I'd like to switch to an open face case like these.
Just got one of these puppies and want to see the REVOLUTION case in action. Can anyone please post pics? Tia!
Finally got my Poetic case just before christmas. Here are some pictures and a video I made.

I'm thinking about the revolution case myself. Does the built in screen protector affect the stylus performance?

for me it did. I think it might had more to do with the fact that I already had an illumishield cover.. I didn't really care much for the built in screen protector, considering it kept giving that oily look, like in the pics above. Anyways, with both the illumishield and built-in protector, the touch sensors was wonky, especially when using the stylus. And since I liked the non oily look of the illumishield, I just basically hacked away the built-in screen protector. as far as the case though? it's pretty awesome..
Ah ok, i didn't notice that it was the soft type screen protector that does that oily crap cuz i was on mobile when i saw the photos. I also like to provide my own screen protector and just use the frame, thanks.
My poetic case is coming in today. I had the thought of doing the same thing as the other guy. Cutting off the protector of the poetic and installing my own screen protector.
With the built in protector only the stylus works fine. Don't like the weird oily looking effect though and probably will remove it also.
Now I've used it for a while there are things I really don't like about it. The buttons are really hard to press now, I might try to mod it to make it better. The port cover will probably get cut off as it doesn't stay in after being left on charge over night. The stand is a nice feature but poorly done, only one angle option and its not a good one. Would be good to have some sort of incremental angle options and to lock into place.
But the protection the bulky case provides cannot be denied.

That was the dirst thing I did when I got mine. I've never really liked the built in screen protectors, they all seem poor compared to combining the case with a nicer screen protector. Use tempered glass + Otterbox on my M8, and an illumishield + poetic on the shield. Not a huge fan of the buttons, but it's stil the best and basically only choice for a hard case.
just wondering, anyone here has cracked edges problem?
I read it like almost everywhere on the nvidia forum... and ppl there are.. kinda nasty. most of the things discussed there is not constructive...
So I had a mixed experience with the Poetic Revolution case.
tl: dr Poetic need to make a SlimLine range for the Nvidia Shield Tab so it can be oriented in Landscape and Portrait.
I had to shave off the locking lugs that stow the stand so I could easily deploy and stow the stand. I also had to cut into the flap so it would return to the covered position. The material that Poetic chose to use for the rubberized flaps is different to the SlimLine range of cases, and is less flexible.
I also had an issue with the kickstand hinge lugs breaking off and I had to request a new case.
The new case is better than the first one. The stand will deploy much easier now, and the rubberized material *eventually* returns to it's original position. It still doens't close immediately after you have unplugged headphones or the charging cable, but it gets there eventually.

What procedure did you use to get a replacement for broken kickstand? I agree with your experience, pretty much the same issues here. Still like the case but hinge and hard to press buttons.

I just used their web site contact form. If you are in the states, you won't need to pay the postage fee. I had to, because I'm in Australia.
Right on, they asked for Order number & picture of damaged region and my address. The new case has already been shipped no need to return the defective old one either. Thanks for your tip.
Hey guys,
Please suggest any ultra thin case for nexus 6. I can't afford to put a thick case, as the phone itself is huge.
Thanks
I've always used the Thin Fit cases from Spigen.
http://www.spigen.com/brands/google/nexus-6/nexus-6-case-thin-fit.html
Ringke/Rearth slim would be an option as well. Might have to wait a few days as they're still not available as of today
I am looking for a skinny case.. Something like a screen guard all over the device !
Any that have a good grip? Maybe something like the ballistic nylon back on the Droid Turbo? I'm not sure if it's the weight or the size, but I seem to be a lot more fumbly with this than I was with my N5. I'm getting kind of afraid that I'm going to drop it one day.

It's a very different feel than the N5 for sure. Still have mine. The N6 is so thin on the edges and metal. Add to that wintery cold dry air'd weather & this phone is slippery for sure. The N5 has the squared off wider edges and I have the ringke slim on it which is rubbery and grippy. Going to take some getting used to. I'm hoping the ringke slim for the N6 is made of the exact same material as the slim for the n5
I found this on amazon..

IQ Shield LiQuidSkin - Google Nexus 6 Screen Protector + Full Body ...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OC1QHVO/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_Tv6Bub10Z7Z4N
I use Bear Motion cases. Tight fit (no creaking or shifting), and great non-slip texture with minimal size for a plastic case. Not quite to the specs the OP mentioned in his follow up post, but those are tougher to come by. I had some from Zagg on my first Android phone (original Galaxy S, woo!), but I think Zagg has started to move away from their "full body coverage" to just do screens.

I have used Zagg full body coverage ones in the past, which you sprayed a solution on (vs the submersion that this listed product uses). It went on quite nicely. The solution kept it from fully sticking until you had it lined up, then you squeegee out the liquid and it sticks. Looks like it would fit well for what you want, just have to be patient during install and then be careful the first couple days to make sure that you don't start edges peeling before the adhesive cures.
EDIT: You also posted about the Skinomi one. I have the screen protector only, and it is VERY much like the Zagg which I've always used in the past. Those were pretty easy to deal with, as long as you sprayed enough solution on them to let you slide them around to align.

Just as another note, when I used Zagg ones their protectors were made in such a way that if you stretched them, lines appeared and made it very ugly. I don't know how Skinomi's or the other's product are made, but I would suggest doing your best to avoid stretching (making sure you have enough solution to prevent it from sticking unexpectedly, and having patience are the two biggest suggestions I have to prevent this). If you get one, please reply here to let us know how it goes!
I have a Cruzerlite TPU case and its very thin yet it will protect the phone from hard falls. I've used them on my Note 3, S5, G3, Nexus 7 and now Nexus 6

Spigen Thin Case
So I recently just bought the Sprint Lg G3 and I loved it. I felt very insecure using my phone bare naked and didn't feel comfortable putting it in my pocket in fear of scratching the back or the screen. Within days of having this phone, I have already scratched the back battery plate cover (very minimal though).
So I went ahead and bought the Spigen Slim Armor case along with the iCarez tempered Glass Screen Protector. Both go well with each other.
-Spigen Slim Armor Case: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQI2LNQ/ref=twister_B00M8RXZ64?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
-iCarez Tempered Glass Screen Protector: http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Scratch-Bubble-free-Fingerprint-Protector-Replacement/dp/B00KGSW734/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1420355354&sr=1-1&keywords=icarez+lg+g3
I have loved both products since I received them. The Spigen armor fits on so well with all the right cutouts (perfect). It doesn't make the phone that fat honestly. The iCarez screen protector is amazing as well. It comes off very easily if you peal the edge with your fingernail which helps when applying the screen. I would highly recommend the iCarez tempered glass screen protector to all G3 owners out there. The quality of the glass is amazing and feels just as amazing as the original screen. It has all the right cutouts and is very easy to install with no problems with air bubbles (but be careful of dirt under the screen).
I'd highly recommend the Spigen Slim Armor to anyone looking for a case.
This is the second phone I have had using a Spigen Slim Armor case with (Samsung GS4 was the first) and I agree with IamFlynn. The case is very nice, great fit, great quality, and it makes the device just slightly fatter than without. It feels like a very expensive case once it is on the phone. As soon as I got the phone, before I left the Sprint store, it was already on. I haven't taken it off much since it feels so good on the phone.

I've had 2 slim armor cases (N5 and this one) and they have both been extremely slippery. So much so that it has actually caused me to drop the phone in times when I normally wouldn't. As for drop protection, I can say this case on my G3 isn't the greatest. It slipped out of my hand once and hit asphalt. The first bounce seemed to do a good amount of protection, but the phone came out of the case and landed separately from the case. I've since gone with a different one with more texture, but this is a slick looking case indeed.
i love this case but i have to agree that it is a little slippery. One thing that really bugs me although i highly doubt that they considered it when designing the case is that i cannot prop it up on something unless the angle is just right because of the hard plastic it just slips. I like to watch netflix when im cooking or what ever and getting this thing to sit upright is chore. But ive had the case since day one and in every other way i love it.

I'm starting to notice that as well, it stinks but I'm okay with it for now.
I've only had mine since the week before Christmas and mine is all scratched too. Love the case though. Really compliments the phone.
I've had this case for a few months and love it! I've several phones and cases over the years and this is by far my favorite. It forms extremely well to the phone and it isn't too big or bulky.
Per what others have said, mine has a few scratches but that's what cases are for. Just means it's doing it's job LOL

Per what others have said, mine has a few scratches but that's what cases are for. Just means it's doing it's job LOL

After the comments on here and a typical YouTube research I ordered the Ultra Hybrid case. Looking forward to it. I've had the tempered glass for it and I strongly recommend it to anyone that has a G3
First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)
I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).
I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)
Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.
Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.
Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.
I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it

Here is the slimmest case I have ever seen:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHFYJM7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH1PWX9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and really like it. It is slim enough for me and has great phone protection.
I've ordered this one. Clear and thin.

Got this one today and it is sweet. Super thin and I like that it covers the buttons.

the thinnest case would be ones made out of polypropylene. some of them get as thin as PAPER. others get thicker/harder plastic feel, but no real point as any drops will crack your glass...
I always buy TPU thermo polyurethane which is very resilient and i've been surprised a few times on how it protected my phones. the thinnest TPU i found are the CIMO
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-...011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493474636&sr=8-5&keywords=s8
I have the Spigen which is too thick, back side measuring 1.4mm on my calipers
EasyAcc TPU which i'm rocking right now which is 1.3mm
Cimo which hasn't come in yet, but... I've had them for s6 and s7 and it only measures 1mm
I like to cut a small hole and mod the TPU cases so that it works on my modded magnetic charger.

I have this case. It's really nice. Fits well, and really is the thinnest possible case at just .025" thick. I must say it is a little slippery even after using it for a few days. I'll probably try and find a similar one that has a bit better grip, but I would certainly recommend it.
I'd also like to mention there is a small raised lip around the camera opening make the fingerprint reader easier to find while adding a little extra protection the camera.

Loving it so far. It is a bit slippery though, not like other TPU cases I have which provide more grip. The separation between the camera and fingerprint scanner is a nice touch too. I'm guessing it is made from some sort of TPU., it is soft and flexible but not silicone. Be aware this is very light protection. I just wanted something to prevent scratches caused by everyday use. I was going to go naked, but this is pretty close and gives some protection.
I'm loving the new spidgen neo hybrid case
Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...
Highly recommend this one...

For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!
Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

I also have the Nillkin PC Ultra thin case and have also found it to be to best compromise between offering decent protection and staying pretty slim. There also a tiny lip on the screen side so that it won't rest the glass on surfaces. Looking at it from the front, you can hardly tell that the case is on. The Nature TPU case by Nillkin is also very nice, but you can only get it from China at the moment.

Could you tell me how much it weighs? Amazon lists 1.4 ounces for both item and shipping weight. That's way to heavy for me.

Looks nice. It has a small lip at front to protect the screen?

No Protection with this case. It clearly says in description only for scratch. If you want full protection I would suggest that you get this one from Samsung is very slim:

How is the grip
---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------
Does the olixar flexishield actually have something special for grip? They say it's a non slip coating but is it any different than regular tpu
