Anyone come across a case without the antenna slot cut out?
I have a Ringke SLIM case, and it's OK, very slim, but has the cut out and there doesn't fit properly on that corner, also this case doesn't have much of a rise around the edges.
I am now looking at the Spigen® [Non-Slip] [AIR CUSHION] - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00JQI2J2E/ref=twister_B00KH9YPZ0
Again, from the comments it has the antenna cut out, wouldn't want to spend that much on a case and it not be the right one.
I have it and yes it is cut out
I'm not sure how you feel about TPU cases but I started using this one

after having the Ringke slim and the OEM korean circle case.
It's as slim if not slimmer than the Ringke slim and since it's tpu it has some grip to it.

I recently purchased Mercury Leather Wallet Case from ebay (Link).
I bought a no-name leather flip case from a local shop (I tried to find the same one on ebay for reference, but failed), and it was very nice case. Good quality leather with little padding. BUT, it didn't have any protection at the top and bottom of the phone. And more importantly, there was a magnet behind the phone on the right side, which interfered with s-pen operation. I started taking out the phone whenever I was home, and then I decided to get a new case.
After searching through sites and ebay, I found this Mercury case. I chose this one because the phone was detachable with a jelly case.
First, the case is not as nice as it looks on the photo. It is not real leather, more like plastic and thin. Stitching is well-done for the most part, but it could be better. The magnet closure is using glue and it is already coming apart. I will have to superglue it or tape it up. It can hold up to 4 credit cards, but it barely closes.
The best part of this case is the jelly case. It is better quality than the usual TPU case. It is slippery to slide in and out of my pockets, but provides good grip in my hands. The phone wiggles just slightly in the jelly case, but a very good fit. On the leather case, there is a silicon-based sticky pad, where the jelly case sticks onto. I have had the jelly case on and off multiple times, but it still holds the case very nicely. If I needed to, I can wipe it with a wet towel to clean it.
And here is the second issue. The cutout for camera/speaker/s-pen is slightly out of alignment. If I align the phone to the cutout, outside edge of the phone is at a slight angle from the leather case. If I align the phone to the outside edge of the leather case, camera is off to the side of cutout. It doesn't affect the camera operation, but it is an issue nonetheless.
For the price, I think it is a very good value, because you also get a very good quality jelly case. When I go out, I stick the phone into the flip case. When I am the office or home, I take it out for easy access to the phone.
Oh, it also came with a screen protector, but I already have one on, so I don't know what it is like.

I just learned that the jelly case included in Mercury Wallet case is exactly the same material as SGP Ultra Capsule Series. I had them side-by-side.
They both seem to be from Korea, so these cases may just have different branding.
I bought one from caseology and that thing ain't thin at all. Does anybody know where I can get a thin case preferably plastic
I have the Incipio Feather for the G3 and it's pretty thin, I like it. It fits tight too which is good. The Caseology has a tiny bit of slack making the phone move around in it. Once some grit gets in there that movement makes the case like sandpaper to the back of the phone.
Red shield tpu on Amazon.
G3
Cruzerlite bugdroid cases. That are much thinner than the Caseology. I can post a comparison because I have both. I need to stop buying cases.. I have 12 now..

Caseology left Cruzerlite right
I hope these help out. I really like the Cruzerlite, it has a nice finish on the back for a TPU case and the fit us excellent.
I have a soft jelly case on my Note 10.1 that goes over the corners and covers them. What is the closet good brand version I can get for this 12.2. If nothing similar, what is a top contender for a TPU case? Would this be my best choice so I can wait, but people say they are heavy though, see here Thanks!

I found that the best suited for my needs was the Fosmon DURA-FRO Ultra Slim Fit Case Protective Shell sold by Sfplanet found on Ebay and Amazon.

The silmist TPU case can be found on amazon/ebay.
It's a semi transparent TPU case with an X shape on the back,
multiple colors available and dirt cheap since it is made in China.
I'm using one right now.
It's slim and the semi transparency looks good with the unit.
It also covers the buttons with thin TPU so the bezel buttons wont be scratch while still easy to press. :good:
The best TPU rugged is Otterbox

So I bought the Spigen slim armor with kickstand case just recently and found that it is rather a thick case and added bulk to the N6. It in turns made the N6 not be able to fit the car mount I bought. Anyone got recommendation for a good slim case?

Ringke Slim Case.
But keep in mind. Slim cases like this offers less protection.
I really like my Diztronic case. It's thin and feels well protected. A few videos on YouTube where people do drop tests and it came out without a scratch.

Got the diztronic... its not like its slim
The slimmest i have is ringke
Try Orzly case, it is very very thin.
The Ringke Max is actually pretty 'slim' with a lot of protection. If you want close to naked feel, then the Ringke Slim might be best, but really not that much protection.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].
I ordered several generic gel jelly slim TPU.
First one to arrive is one with a logo that reads INSTEN and I am very impressed by it.
It's tight (queue up Micheal Meyers), lip is thin and holds on to the frame without going over on to the glass, barely raised ever so slightly higher than the screen.
It makes the screen/viewing pop out (it might be the color I chose, yellow).
The cutouts are great, the thinly covered raised areas over the power and volume rocker are just right (if you have the slim armor you might experience what I have, where touching the buttons is just too sensitive).
Grippy and sturdy. Knocked some on the table, I'd use it to press some buttons, sure..
I might go order more colors.
Usually I like Goospery Mercury Gel TPU cases on my phones, but haven't found any made for the N6.
EDIT: easy in and out from pocket.
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the slick wraps full body because it does not add any bulk and provide some protection.

That INSTEN case is identical to the Caseology cases. Probably made in china, and companies just put their own name on it. But they look OK with medium protection.

I'm not doubting your choice, as it's your phone. But any "protection" you get from a skin will be just to prevent scratches and no drop protection. Good luck.

I dont have the caseology, but from the images I can agree, sans dimple. It's a good thing being at 1/3rd the price. I went ahead and bought green and black as well. It is so far my fave case.
I'll add, you know the form, shape that the phone has, makes it fit well in the hand and really gives it that unique feeling that it is a much smaller phone. This case INSTEN keeps that feeling intact..

I also really like the diztronic case. Minimal and functional.
I actually have the carved case and it's really slim and seems somewhat protective. Especially since it's made of real wood!

Agreed. Fairly protective without being too bulky. Good grip too.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that preserves the top heaviness and dramatic tapering of thickness at the bottom of the phone? Basically I'm as concerned about drop protection as preserving the original "feel" of the phone.
I'm looking for suggestions for a thin case for my Pixel that will fit in a belt holster. I'm currently using this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MG4BBX1/
but the case is pretty thick, around 3.5mm. All of the ones in that style have a kickstand on the back, which adds to the thickness.
I see Seidio makes a Surface which they say is 2mm thick, quite a bit thinner. I've never had one, and am not sure about the TPU inner part covering the buttons, wondering if it messes up the feel.
https://www.seidioonline.com/product/google-pixel-surface-case/
Any comments on the Surface for this (or other) phones, or suggestions for a thin case/belt holster set?
I use a Google Live Case with a vertical leather belt pouch like this one. Works well for me.
I thought about the Seidio Surface, but don't like kickstands.
I can recommend the Supcase that comes with a belt clip but it's not the thinnest thing in the world - definitely a thicker heavy duty case. No kickstand though.
On that note, I'd be happy to mail you the belt clip if you wanted it if you paid for shipping, as well as test my various cases first to see if any are compatible with it. Just let me know. (My wife uses the case but not the belt clip.)

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had bad luck with phones sliding out of that type of case (running with the dog or working under a car).

Thanks, but I have a belt clip for it without a case (think it's encased brand, ironically).
I decided to order a Surface and give it a try. Showed up today. The TPU part is a lot thinner than I was expecting. I'll post some thoughts on it after I've had it a few days.
I have the Surface case with holster and I like it. It's not too think, but still protective. I've dropped my phone a couple times and it didn't break

What's the verdict?
I had one like this (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MXDYKP7) on my Galaxy S6 and Moto Z, but would like a little protection on the Pixel.

That's the holster I was using when I didn't have it in a case. I liked it, but decided to stick with a case. Phone was a little too slippery for me without one.
I ended up returning the Seidio case/holster. For one thing, it was more difficult to get in and out of the holster, although it probably would have loosened up over time. Some of the headphones I have didn't fit the jack with it on, and the lip around the front made it more awkward to use. A lot of it came down to I just didn't think it was anywhere near being worth the price. For me anyhow. I see Amazon has a like new one right now for $21 though.
I'm still using the case/holster combo I linked to in the first post, and it's protected the phone from a few fumbles drops just fine.
