starting this because i know there are some of us out there who require such a case. Thought we could save each other some time and/or grief and report what's available, what's shipping, what ad hoc solutions we've found, etc.
here's what i've found so far:
i-blason: liked it on N5. ships nov. 25
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Kick...=1415220229&sr=8-2&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
fosmon: never heard of them. looks like i-blason. ships dec. 1
http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-STURDY...=1415220229&sr=8-7&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
cellbee: never heard of them either. looks similar to the generic belt cases sold at verizon typically. ships nov. 25
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00P1F0AX6?psc=1
supcase: i'll throw this one in here because it claims to be a belt case, but i see no evidence of this from either the pics or the description. ships nov. 29
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Full-...=1415220229&sr=8-1&keywords=nexus+6+belt+case
apparently this one is now shipping. first one to ship i believe

Good thread! I just pulled for the Moko. Not only is it supposed to be here Wed, it's a bit cheaper. I use a Steelie in the car and I don't like having the magnet on the phone and in my pocket so instead of having two cases I will just put the Steelie mount on the belt case clip and use it while in the car. For day-to-day I'll use the Moko and not have to worry about switching cases. I hope this works with Qi too.
The Steelie works great in the car as a mount. For the Moto X 2013 I can leave the case with the magnet on and NFC tap-to-pay works. With the OnePlus One, the magnet works great and NFC works but tap-to-pay will not work with the magnet in place. That means if I want to tap-to-pay I have to use a case without the Steelie. I think this Moko arrangement will work a lot better since I won't have to keep changing cases.
Just ordered the case from amazon referred to above.. For 6 bucks, free shipping with prime, and expedited delivery, it's worth giving it a shot. Seems to come in two parts, a protective case plus a seperate belt clip holster for sliding the device in and out of.

from the pics it looks to have a belt clip... the only thing im not to fancy on is the built in screen protector and its added size... everything else looks good IMHO
Seidio Convert
This case is not available or even announced yet, but I'm guessing it's probably in the works right now. In my opinion, Seidio makes the most rugged case for Nexus phones, called the Convert, which comes with a holster/belt clip. I had one for my N4, which got stolen :crying:, and currently have it on my N5 (pic below). If Otterbox had made their Defender case for my Nexuses, I probably would have gotten that instead. The Convert has no built in screen protector and is kind of pricey, but has major protection.
Seidio Convert for Nexus 5:
http://www.seidioonline.com/lg-google-nexus-5-convert-value-pack-black-p/bd5-hkr4lgn5.htm
seidio is mia. i ve emailed them a dozen times with nothing more than "we're looking into it". can't wait. got the moko case and it looks like a winner, esp for $2
I ordered the moko for 2 dolla. Mainly just for when I'm at work. I ordered a dbrand skin for the back too. Hopefully it won't interfere with the case fitting. If it does...the case was 2 dollars. Lol.
actually...that moko case is a damn fine case. looks like it will do everything i need it to do. of course, i don't have the fn nexus 6 yet to test it in the field, but it looks like it'll do the job just fine. best $2 case EVER...
I would love seidio to make a case for the nexus 6 but all I got was the generic response too. " we are looking in to it". Its too bad because I love their spring clip on their holsters. I looked into moko and unicorn beetle but didn't like the release of either if them. The spring clip from seidio is the best.
received the i-blason case today. i thought it was identical to the moko case but there are several key differences to note:
1. rubber section is far thicker and of a better quality than the moko. the moko was driving me crazy with the amount of dust it was attracting. this one is a much harder/more durable rubber. it's MUCH better
2. having said that, because its thicker, the buttons are a bit harder to press, particularly the power. works perfectly mind you, just takes a bit more effort to press
3. the hard shell is slicker than the moko. hopefully this will wear off soon as its fairly slippery as it stands now
4. the belt clip section is a clip in rather than a slide in. only got it tonight so i have yet to try it in the field. seems secure enough, though not as secure as the slide in of the moko. the advantage here though is i can take this out of the clip MUCH faster than the moko
5. if you have the moko, you can use this on the moko slide in belt clip if you prefer. i'm going to try the clip in holster for a bit to see how i like it
overall, a very solid alternative to the moko, particularly if you were getting annoyed by the cheap rubber collecting dirt
I got the SupCase Unicorn Beetle from amazon on sell for $12 taxes n shipped yesterday, actually received my nexus yesterday too. I got that price because the case wasn't out yet when I ordered it so it had them listed for $7.99 at the time.
So far I am very impressed with the quality. The built in screen protector is actually useful and doesn't hinder the screen at all. I did notice a bit of glare under certain lighting but nothing too annoying.
It does come with a belt clip and its a bit different from what I had on my note 2 but so far its functional and very sturdy product. Highly recommend.
well seidio finally has a nexus 6 page now. still coming soon and notify me crap, but its a start i guess

Combination
I like to show off my Nexus and I have had too many bad experiences with belt clips with single clips. My combo is this Spigen case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OH4I7UU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5 and this holster http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Holster-Pouch-Protector-Cover/dp/B00OX3Z89S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1419472114&sr=8-7&keywords=case+for+belt+nexus+6

Just ordered one. Cannot wait for it to arrive. I have had a UAG case on it since day one and I cannot take photos with the flash on. It leaves a smoky affect in the photos. How are photos with the flash on with the supcase?

Please, if you have any other cases laying around, let us know if the holster would work with the Surface holster. On past phones, I know I could get other cases (not all) to work with Surface and Dilex holsters. I have the Supcase hybrid case now. If Amazon were selling the holster, Id buy it in a heartbeat to test, because I know I could easily return it to Amazon.
I got my Unicorn Beetle Pro this past monday and I'm impressed with the quality. The only real complaint that I have about it is that they didnt flatten out the back of the case so that the phone lays flat on a table or something. Most annoying thing ever to lay your phone on the desk and try to do something on it only to have it start wobbling away.
crackberry.com has the seidio active case for 31.95, ships 1/22, use coupon code JB15 for 10% off NOTE. The cases and holsters are sold seperately, great if you just want the holster, or just the case.

The Ballistic SG Gel case is a very tuff case. I definitely hold it with confidence in my hand. It does add to the size of the phone. All the cut outs for the mics, camera and pen and micro usb plug are just right. Easily accessible no trying to cram your finger in to pull out the pen or having to use a Drumal to adjust the holes. I really like the large cut out for the camera, (some cases with small cut outs can make nasty flash effects and cause pour pics.) I also included a pic of my old Ballistic HC case for my Iphone 4 in there to compare size. I also had a tank case from case mate but it is exactly the same as the Ballistic so I did not bother pulling the iphone out to take pics. I am interested in a screen protector but not sure if the one I like will work. I like the Moishi one and plan to go to the ATT store to see if it will fit under it. I know some of the thinner screen guards should with no issue. I will update later about that. The bumpers on the corners give it the most bulk but are minimal. You can easily lay it face down with no issues. Great shock absorption. I also order a Seidio Active case with kick stand that will be in Monday and plan to do a review of it. One of these will be my permanent case. Let me know if you have any questions. Also I am not a skinny jeans or pants kind of guy but this is extremly pocketable. I have no issues putting it in or taking it out.
Any chance you purchased the White Impact Triple Combo or the BoxWave Resolute? If so, how did these compare the Ballistic Galaxy Note Case?

I have not bought those. They look identical though exexpt for the cut out for the camera and the little B printed on each mumper corner. I wonder if they are made as well myself. I have tried the Zenus Capsule and sent it back the day I got it. Terible case with no protection. I thought it was going to scratch my phone just putting it on. It would not let me reply to you earlier today until I had at least 8 post. I will be receiving the Seidio active with Kickstand Monday and one of these two cases will be kept while the other is returned.
Almost forgot. Enter Spring12 at checkout and you can get 20 % off of this case. I ordered it Tuesday the day of release and received to day so pretty fast shipping for there cheapest fair which was USPS. Also if someone wants the Seidio you can get 10 % off at their site with TW10.
Moshi Ivisor AG for Galaxy note
Went to the AT&T store today and tried on the Moshi screen protector that is reaplyable and has no bubbles what so ever and confirmed it does fit under the Ballistic SG Gell case here. Unfortunatley I picked up a white one by mistake so will post picks of the black one when I swap it out later today. I hope and it should I believe work with the Seidio Active with kickstand coming Monday. The screen guard is great it has an anti glare coating and does not atract smudges from fingers like the screen does. I love it most because you can put it on and take it off as many times as you want.

The IMPACT TRIPLE and Boxwave are one and the same. I have the boxwave and the ballistic. The ballistic is seems tighter the way it hugs the phone but I prefer the boxwave because there is more protection around the camera lens than the ballistic.

I did notice the box wave looked to be more closed in around the lens and flash. Most companies have chosen to widen those holes to allow more light into the lens and to not mess with the flash. I could notice a big difference on my old Iphone 4 photos that had really tight coverage around the lens and flash with the case compared to the latest one I got for it from the same case maker that enlarged the holes because of those issues. I have to say after receiving the Seidio active with kickstand today, I will be sending it back because of how much more protection the ballistic offers. I love the idea of a kickstand, just doesn’t offer enough protection to me. Those extra bumpers on the corners of the Ballistic and Boxwave make a big difference when dropped.
This is my first review so take it easy on me >_<
I've always ordered otterbox cases for my phone's, this time i wanted to switch it up. Two factors led me to order this case over the otterbox, first i didn't want the charging port and headphone jack covered up by silicone, that always annoyed me about the otterbox case's. Second i wanted a commuter case and it seemed at the time know one had the black one in stock.
I received the case today and so far i am very pleased with the case, it fits REALLY snug and tight and its comparable in thickness to the commuter. One thing i did notice is that this is the only case i have seen that were the kickstand is located it has a circle which makes access to the stand A-LOT easier.
i'll report back on the durability of the case but so far i like the form and finish. One thing to note, for some reason case-mate has not posted the case on their site but their are couple reputable vendors selling them.
I bought mines of amazon for 24$ with shipping include
http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-CM0...OGHK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338591300&sr=8-1
I had case mate pop on my 3D, my 3D is in perfect condition! I like the looks of it, hopefully BB has it thats where I'm getting my phone and getting the upgrade GC to pay for a case. No money left over after the contract buy out from Sprint
Just ordered one and I will try to keep everyone posted on how it works out. $5.95 hopefully this will work out for those of us that need a more rugged case! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4RV8DS

There another OP for this case, it actually increased to 3x what it originally was. It was 1.99 a week ago.
I'm already using this case, it's amazing for $1.95
agreed i picked up this case on the 9th when it was for pennies. for the price it far exceeds in all areas. OP you will enjoy it for sure.
I bought this case when it was $1.95 on Amazon Prime, and I have to say, I actually feel more secure with the phone in a Spigen. The moko's "rubber" shell is too lose, and the plastic case is too thin and flimsy, much more thinner than a Seido Dilex or an Otterbox Commuter. I think I may just stick with a Neo Hybrid for now and just give away the Moko to someone on XDA.
Thanks for the info everyone

Totally agree with you. I got this case when it first became available. It has a really nice feel and looks great. However the tpu inner/outer shell is very flimsy, especially around the lip of the phone and has the look and feel as though debris could easily enter from the cutouts. The fitament on the phone in the case itself is just OK. The phone does not clip in, rather it slides in from the side making it awkward for some to quickly access. If your looking for something to put on your belt it works.

It isn't TPU, it is rubber...and the fit on my 32GB N6 is great...only complaint is that the holster doesn't have a locking clip. For a sub-$10USD rugged case you cannot do better. Heck Seidio and Platinum sell the same thing for $60USD for other phones.

The Seidio Dilex line of cases are more sturdy and rugged. And the Seido spring-loaded holsters make it quicker to release the phone off the belt. The Moko is a great sub-$10 case, but it cannot go up against a Seidio/Platinum case.

LOL....as an owner of a couple Seidio cases and a Platinum case...the Moko comes from exactly the same Chinese OEM and is made from exactly the same stuff (rubber/plastic). The only difference being Seidio has a metal kickstand.

The proof is in that Platinum, Seidio, and Moko have not sued one another for copyright or trademark infringement over the years. They're all that identical in design and quality.
We live in an age where people sue for using rounded corners.

Lol, you ain't lying about the lawsuits. I should be getting the i-blason case here in the next couple days, it was actually sub $10 when I scooped it up as well. Looks almost the same minus the holster and the design on the rubber, even the plastic outter clip looks identical. Don't get me wrong, the Moko isn't bad at all.. I'm just a bit ocd about the loose edges and small gaps near the cutouts. I feel like over a short period of time they'll get lose.

I may order one of the poetic revolution cases while they are still cheap. My moko should be her on 12/3
Ordered the orzly tempered glass screen protector a few minutes ago as well
OK the moko came in today and first impressions are really good! Not sure yet how it will hold up but the fit is great. All the buttons feel great! The case actually looks pretty good (granted looks are in the eye of the beholder as they say). The kickstand doesn't seem to bad. For a rugged case, its actually surprisingly slim which may make a lot of people happy.
Now for the bad as others have mentioned pulling the phone out of the holster causes the rubber part of the case to pull away from the phone. Not real bad but it does. The phone slides into the case but its a tight fit.
All in all I paid $5.95 + shipping on Amazon for this case and initial impression is for that price if you need a case it's a great buy. Just noticed the price is now $6.95 so if your looking for a decent cheap case I'd buy it before the price goes up. I'm going to use it until I find a satisfactory higher end case.
I did order a poetic revolution case as well and when it comes in I'll let you all know who it is.
Seidio has finally started selling there surface and dilex pro cases for the Nexus 6 if anyone is interested.
http://www.seidioonline.com/Motorola-Nexus-6-s/9503.htm
I already have the Seidio spring clip holster for the naked Nexus 6. I really like Seidio products and so for the spring clip holster is what I expect from Seidio. I know there a little expensive but I also know that it will last a long time. I just ordered the Surface combo. I'll try and post some pix of the spring clip holster for the naked Nexus 6 later.

How did you get the holster so quickly? They only started taking orders two days ago on their website. I have to agree that Seidio products are top quality. If you wait a little bit, you can usually save a few bucks when they start Amazon fufillment.
Just the holster for the naked Nexus 6 started shipping on 1/09/15. Yeah!!! I really like there products. One thing I notice with this holster is that the back of the phone does touch the surface that you lay it on. There is noway to slide a piece of paper underneath it.
I took these pix really quick. There not that good.

In pic #7 the phone is touching.
Anyone planning on trying the Dilex? Part of me wants to just cuz I've liked Seidio products in the past.
It probably won't help you, but I had the Dilex for the Nexus 5 and it was nice. I ordered the Surface combo because the power and volume buttons are not covered up by the case. I placed my order yesterday with the cheapest shipping so it should be here towards the end of the week. I really like either one because they are so easy to put on and off.
Interested to see pictures of the dilex. The pics on the website suck
i ordered the dilex pro with holster. should be here by next week. i had the dilex for the nexus 4 and nexus 5. really like there cases.
curious to check out the new dilex with the tpu instead of soft silicone. i know with the previous dilex it would stretch and get flabby after awhile.
although pricey looking forward to this case. will post pics when i get it.

Ordered my surface yesterday. Finally
just received my dilex pro today for my wife and myself. have attached some pictures. problem may be worth the headphone port. should of made it bigger. the stock charger causes a little bit of a bulge when charging on the case.
overall seems like a good case but expected better cutouts with the amount of time it took seidio to release this. especially on the headphone port. charging port is tolerable.
Thank you for the pictures.. Convinced me not to buy this case
It looks nice and protected, but also kinda plain. How are the buttons?
I just got the Surface with the holster. I will only use this setup at work. I do not like to use cases. Charger fits fine and wireless charger works (TYLT VÜ Wireless Charger). I don't use headphones, but it looks tight. The holster clip is much bigger on the Surface then the Naked holster. I use the holster only on the sun visor in the vehicles, so this bigger one will be nicer to use. The case does not sit flat, but it better then without the case. Overall the case is nice, so far and I really like the 2 piece case.......easy on easy off.
I am so bummed. Saw these online and thought they were perfect. But the kickstand bump out totally ruins it for me.

as for the buttons they are clicky. what i don't like is that there US only a small area to press on the power and volume buttons. with the tpu and hard Shell you are feeling just only the tip of the buttons. different from if you are touching the naked button.
as much as i hate to say it. seidio disappointed me this time and i will be sending it back. can't see myself using this case on a regular basis.
Just got my Seidio Surface today!
I've owned Seidio products for 5 of my last 8 phones and the only reason I didn't get their products for the other 3 was because they didn't make a case for those products. I have to say that Seidio is perhaps one of the best case makers I've ever come across and absolutely the best case/holster combo maker there is! I've not had a chance to use in in my daily routine yet, but I will tomorrow! I am a DM with Target Mobile and I have 3 phones that I carry with my most if not all of the time. I haven't had a Seidio case/holster combo for any of my current phones and having my main go to phone (Nexus 6) on my hip and not in my pocket will be a welcome change.
I'll follow up in the coming days and let you all know my impressions if you care to hear.

Do you have any other Nexus 6 cases to test with that Surface holster? If so, pics please?
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.)

I use a Google Live Case with a vertical leather belt pouch like this one. Works well for me.

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.
