For those interested i emailed Ballistic Case Co. and asked if they were developing a case for the Nexus 6. I got this replay:
Hello ****,

However, I will forward your request to our Engineering and Design Team for future considerations. If we can assist you with anything further please feel free to contact us.

Probably because this phone is already big enough. Lol. I love my ballistics SG maxx on my m8. Only way it feels protected.

I had one on my galaxy nexus from day one. Never had any issues other than trying to squeeze it in my jeans and the rubber would snag. Part of it though, no real complaints. I've checked the store roughly once a week since I received that e-mail with no sign of it. I currently have the spigen neo hybrid awaiting my nexus. I did like the protection but I'm going to try something a little slimmer on such a large device this time around.

It seems a bit weak. Given, I don't have the phone yet, so I can only speculate. I imagine once the phone is in the case it will do just fine until I get a better case. I liked the look of this case compared to others with the amount of protection offered. That's what swayed my decision. I did however find a new case that will be released around the 23rd. I may receive my GPS order by then. :fingers-crossed:
Not topic specific but here is the case I was talking about
Availability of Ballistic Case
Received yesterday in response to my inquiry about a Nexus 6 Ballistic Tough Jacket Maxx case :

I've never been an early adopter of phones, but is it normal for cases to take this long to come out after the release of a flagship phone?

Not sure but it certainly seems to be taking Ballistic a long time. I've used their cases on my last 3 devices so I'm kinda loyal. Plus, they've protected my phones from some nasty drops.

The Tough Jacket and Tough Jacket Maxx are now available.
So only the Maxx comes with the holster? I'd rather get the regular one with a holster. I had a Maxx with my Nexus 5, and those rubber corners made it near-impossible to put the N5 in a jacket pocket
Link for the lazy
https://www.goballisticcase.com/shop/motorola/nexus-6/
Ordered online: Tough Jacket Maxx for N6.
Hope it includes/comes with the holster with belt clip, at no extra cost?
One of the online reviews on their site (maybe for a Tough Jacket Maxx for a different device) mentions person needing to use "super-glue" to fix the clip after a short time. A YouTube video about fixing a belt clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6b6VJGVh84
So, hope the clip is sturdy and holds up well.
Did it ship for anybody yet? Trying to figure out if it's a back order or not.
It kinda seems like they are padding their reviews, or at least are misleading you by putting reviews from other phones on the nexus 6 case. All of those reviews are from early 2014 and don't speak to the quality of the nexus 6 version. Kinda shady and misleading if you ask me. But I'll still look into picking one of these up.

well, from the photo they have up now, its only exposed if you don't have the last (optional, but included) layer on. I like having the butons exposed for normal use, then put on the outer layer when i know I might be someplace where i might need it (beach, lake, concert, ball game) to keep things out and protect from possible rain.
Yeah, I'm waiting for the HC. I mean, I want to get the SG, but the exclusion of a kickstand makes me sad.

Not that hard to believe, it was like what, six months, until they brought it out for the EVO.

Ballistic is losing out on a LOT of sales due to them always being so late in the game. If their HC case was available on the 3D's launch date, then I would have gotten it over the Defender. I know a lot of people who would have bought the HC instead of the Defender, but since the HC wasnt out then you only had one choice. Ballistic should have realized this with the Evo 4G when they were (as stated above) about 6 months late to release it. Testing and quality control is great and all, but when I only keep a phone for 1 year at the most, I'm not going to buy a case to use for only 4-6 months. I know many others feel the same as me in this aspect.... Oh well, Ballistic's loss and Otterbox's gain..
I've been thinking of getting a case with a little better drop protection than my knock-off case mate barely there case. So I've been considering the following:
Case-mate tough case, which people seem to like.
Otterbox Commuter - but has a fit problem, would have to wait for revisions to be out. A bit smaller than the Tough case.
Seidio active case - looks nice, but people have concerns about the plastic corners breaking.
The ballistic SG looks nice! Granted no one has it yet, but based on your experience with other phones, does anyone know how much bulk it adds to the phone vs these other cases? Obviously, the corners bulge. Thanks
Ballistic cases are usually a bit then other brands. BUT so far every manufacturer has slimmed down their cases for the 3D, so maybe Ballistic will follow suit....

I had the SG on my OG evo and have it on the 3d. It feels wonderful, and fits really well. Protects my phone perfectly fine on regular drops and I never feel like I have to worry.
I'm waiting for the HC for my 3D, I had one for my OG EVO. Best case eva.
any idea when the black/red will be released? And if people have experience with these cases before, how does the black/red usually look compared to the black/black. Is this finish nice or does it look stupid?
The black/red HC on my Evo 4G looked, felt, and held up awesome! May get one for my 3D also, depends on how my Defender is holding up when ever the HC is released...

I had signed up to be notified when the HC was available - and when I got the email about the SG, I ordered it without even realizing it wasn't the one I really wanted. So now I have an unopened SG case to return, but ballistic hasn't returned 3 requests for an RMA#. No response whatsoever. That's piss poor customer service. I finally just called them and got a very pleasant lady who just pulled up her email, searched by name, and said, "ok, yes, here is your email from Friday" (the 2nd email, 4 days ago. The first one was more than a week ago).
I'm huge on customer service. I'm going to return it and get the otterbox case. FYI - for those interested, she tells me the HC case will be available at the end of September.

End of september! Man EFF that. I was a fan of ballistic and dealt with my damn seidio rugged until the HC was available for the old evo. Ive had the otterbix since day one since the HC wasnt available. The otterbox feels and looks awesome. Otterbox took the time to make sure we had protection day one. Otterbox keeps my buisness
I loved the HC(red/black) on my Evo 4G. BUT, I now have a Otterbox Defender and will be in keeping it. No way I'm buying a $50 case at the end of September, may not have the phone more than 3 months after that. Otterbox well replace any of their cases without a problem AND have cases ready for us on launch day. Otterbox keeps me as a life long customer also. I dealt with Ballistic customer service once and they did not help at all. That and the fact they take way way too long to make cases available to us, it's just bad business and they will go under eventually unless the make some big changes/ improvements..... It's unfortunate.
Many people upgrade phones every 6 months. Not many will buy a case that they will only use for half of their time owning the phone. Plus Ballistic is giving their competition a 3 month head-start. Didn't they learn with the Evo 4G!?

A little bit off topic, but how is the defender? I'm put off by the screen protector just ending by the ear piece, as i think dirt and dust will get between the SP and the screen.
I have a defender for my HD2 and its done well for what ive put it through! but it seems to have a better solution for the above.
whats your opinion?
Also i asked ballistic if they would ship to the UK....They wanted $79.95 just for shipping + $49.99 for the case - (when they eventually make release one!) Thats_<counts on fingers>_ a $130 case + Import duty!!!
Hey guys,
So here's the deal, I've been waiting and waiting for Otterbox to release a case for the Amaze and I've been disappointed up to this point. Today I went to their website to again browse the HTC devices with Otterbox cases and was astounded at the fact that both the Vivid and the Rhyme have Otterbox cases now...they pretty much just came out, especially the Vivid (this past weekend). Even more frustrating, it seems like every HTC device *besides* the Amaze is supported. I e-mailed them regarding availability, but we'll see if I get a useful answer. Anyone else have any other ideas regarding other cases I can look at getting outside of Otterbox of similar quality? Thanks...
The Samsung Vibrant took about 2 months. It depends on its specifications and how many are to be sold as to how quickly the box is made. If the dimensions are the same or similar to other models it can be farely quickly. Also if its a wider spread device (global rather then just regional) it will be quicker too. Be patient, im sure it will come.
Thanks for the response. I got an answer from Otterbox themselves that said there is nothing in the works as of right now, but I'm sure you're right, it'll just take time.

Yes in fact I Emailed Trident about a case and they said they will make one available later this month while otterbox said they did not have any plans on making one as of right now and if they were they still couldnt comment on how long it would take till they released it.

Hi Dennis,
Thanks for your email. At this time we have not confirmed if we will be making a case for that device. OtterBox.com will be updated with case options if and when they become available. Sorry for any inconvenience!
I also have an online survey that you can fill out and offer your suggestions:

Simple and enough said from Tridentcase I think so
You guys should write into Seidio. I think they are the best cases hands down. I always get 2 for every phone I have.
They said nothing is finalized. I know it's off topic, but for those interestd.

I won't get one, this SG does not have enough "bulk". I like the HC series, which I owned for my Evo 4G, best case ever!
In the absence of the Ballistic HC being produced, I think I will go with the next best thing which is a Trident case. I plan on getting the Trident Kraken when it's released.
BTW, this is about as slim as it gets for a multi-layer case. If this is too bulky for you, you may want to consider a single layer case.

If you are really a fire medic, then maybe you need that much protection. But don't try to blow smoke up anyone's @ss (sorry...not angry, but couldn't resist using the pun ). Honestly, that case is huge. The Seidio Active case has two layers and is much smaller than this one.
As I haven't seen either in person I can't really comment. But I guess perception is relative, they both seem very similar to me. I had a Seidio Rugged/Combo for my Evo 4G, it was ugly and fell apart, I just could never bring myself to buy another Seidio case.
I have the SC series for my Galaxy sII and it is plenty bulky.

Is it bulkier than you expected a 3 layer case to be?
I've been waiting for this as well, I was on the notify list. The question I have is though: How is this different from the White Impact Triple Combo or BoxWave Resolute? (Both of those two are the same identical case btw, just cheaper on ebay)
I'm looking on the Ballistic website and I can't surmise that there's much. Does anyone know differently? or does anyone own both of these (or is planning on owning both of these)?

Your welcome. I just picked up a Moshi reusable screen guard after confirming it fits under the case. I believe it should work under the Seidio too when it comes Monday. I will see.
For those interested, I contacted Trident to ask wether they intended to manufacture some of their excellent cases for the Nexus 6, and unfortunately, they told me it wasn't part of their plans.
Of course, they gave me the usual yadi yada about forwarding the idea to their development team, and told me to check about future products to be sure. Though it's a polite way of telling things, it probably means they won't be making anything...
And that's the part that worries me most about this phone. I need a rugged case, and by that, I noticeably mean something with port covers, to at least protect the jack and USB from dust. So a Spigen case won't do.
I really like the size of the phone, my money is more than ready to be spent on a black 64GB version, I'm not really interested in any other model of phone on the market, but without a properly rugged case (at least something like a Trident Aegis : soft cushion wrap, maintained by hard plastic, and with ports covers), that won't happen...
well imho the whole point of a trident case was their Kraken AMS line. With the nexus 6 having a 6 inch screen and being 1 cm thick, the Kraken AMS would add too much bulk, making the already "big enough" nexus 6 way too big.
Their Aegis is cool too: basically the same thing to the Kraken AMS as Otterbox Commuter is to the Defender.

I have been in contact with them. They are supposedly going to have the aegis case ready by first of this year but no plans for the kraken. Even tho the kraken adds bulk I'd still like to have one. I have the kraken on my old s4
Interesting : thanks for the update, msd24200 :good:
Your most welcome, yeah I've been a fan of their cases for a couple of years now! Was really hoping for the kraken for this phone, I'm not worried about the added bulk!
Here is a screen shot of her reply to my email asking if they had plans on making a case for the N6
Great: I was actually just checking this thread back, and realizing my brain hard shorted the "first of this year" into "quite soon"... and was wondering if you had forgotten a word, or if "first of this year" was an idiomatic English expression I did not know (well, maybe it is).
First month of the year for a(n imho) properly rugged case is fine by me: it really renews my interest for the phone!
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?
