If you're looking for a transparent case then look into Spigen Ultra Hybrid or Ringke Fusion.
Ringke Fusion is not shipping until next week though. I'm using the Ultra Hybrid, I like the colors and its a nice case. Although I think I'd like the buttons to be separated so it'd be easier to see which key is what.
I have decided on the spigen slim armor in gunmetal. Sadly I dont have my nexus 6 yet but the case looks and feels awesome. I just fear that the vertical stand will break after a while but thats just a guess...
Ringke by far is my favorite just because the buttons are made a little better then the spigen.
I have been quite happy with the spigen slim armor. Mine has none of the QC issues the Amazon reviews have mentioned. My kickstand has never fallen out and I don't know how it ever could with the phone in the case. I think most of the overly negative reviews on the kickstand were from people who reviewed it before they even had the phone. The phone fits perfectly and is easy to get out. The one issue I do have with it is the flat buttons. It is virtually impossible to know which button you are about to press without looking which is kind of annoying. If they modify that I will buy a new one. I'd be happy if the Slim Armor had the button of the neo hybrid.
I used one of those slim Ringke cases on my nexus 5 and it scratched the corners of my phone when I removed it so I'll never use that brand again. I know this phone is different so maybe that's no longer an issue but once is enough for me.
Edit - I see you said you want a transparent case. That means my comments can be disregarded, lol...

Agreed and the buttons on the N6 are separated which prevents miss taps, its still not available for sale yet though. Using the Ultra Hybrid for the time being. Not sure how I feel about the caps on the N6 ports for the Fusion, they didnt use to have them.
Ringke for cases definitely. I have both for the N5 and for the N4 and Ringke does feel slimmer and very well made.
Spigen for Screen Protectors.
I ordered the Ringke Fusion Crystal
Pics of Spigen Ultra Hybrid with Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Protector
I'm sure by now you've already obtained your case, though I thought I'd post some pictures of the Spigen (Crystal Clear) Ultra Hybrid along with a Spigen Ultra Crystal Screen Protector.
As you can see, it shows off the device, but still achieves maximum protection. The Case is a hard shell on the back, and soft rubber along the sides. Both are clear.
I haven't had any issues with the buttons on the case. If anything, the button placement on the actual phone will take some getting used to, though they are situated halfway down for a reason.
Enjoy!
P.S. These pics were taken from my iPhone 5S. Unfortunately.....
how is he mic hole placement. i have been thinking about buying one of these. it just all the reviews don't talk about making calls with the case on. it almost looked like the case covered up some of the mics.

I am using this case right now and really enjoy it. No issues with QI, NFC and it offers great protection for the minimalistic design. Case is very sturdy and fits like a glove. The only small gripe I have with it is the buttons. While they are very tactile it is very difficult to distinguish power from volume. Other than that its great.
I did order the ringke fusion, which is the basically the same case. The biggest differences between the spigden and the ringke I saw were plugs where the cutouts are, it comes with a screen protector AND the power button and volume rocker are much more pronounced (easier to distinguish) in my opinion. Both cases are great and if your curious about the other, here's a link.

They are flush, and built into the soft rubber material. I know many people are having issues with the button placement, but it hasn't been a problem for me. It's quite simple really, top is power, bottom is volume down, that leaves the middle for.... You guessed it! Haha

Haha, thanks. I've been an Android user since the G1. The iPhone is for work. FIgured since ALLLL of my personal devices have been Android, might as well try somethign different.
To be honest, I barely even touch my iPhone other than for responding to e-mails on the go, and emergency work calls. It was cool and interesting for about 2 days, though I will probably upgrade to the iPhone 6S plus when it becomes available (for work of course).
Spigen Perfect/Thin Fit VS Ringke SLIM
I have both the Spigen Perfect/Thin Fit and the Ringke SLIM cases in black. I started with the Spigen but didn't like the way the Motorola logo was the centerpiece of the back of the phone and also the case kept 'unclicking' out of position on the phone when it was in my pocket (so far in only 3 days this has happened around 5 times)... so I looked for an alternative and found the Ringke SLIM. I have to say I much prefer the Ringke, it's simple, it has very subtle branding (no cutcouts for motorola logo on the back either) and the cutouts for the inputs are nicer. It also has cut outs at the stress points that make it a bit more durable (less chance of the plastic breaking or the case stressing in general). Also, so far the Ringke has been rock solid and hasn't moved an inch on my Nexus 6. The only thing I miss from the Spigen is the soft touch black coating... but considering the other issues I had, this is perfectly acceptable.
I got the spigen neo hybrid, it's OK but makes the phone feel bulky and makes the screen bezel look huge. Also the buttons could be better designed, the nexus 6 has a smaller textured button and a longer volume button, spigen went for 3 buttons all the same size with no texture and in my coat pocket it's hard to get the right button to change volume when listening to music.

Today I received my Spigen Slim Armor w/Air Cushion Technology. Sorry, I wanted to post a link to the Amazon page so everyone could see what it looks like, but you will all have to Google/Amazon it
First impression is that it fits snug and has great cutouts. There is a full rubber cover and then a hard shell that wraps over the middle portion of the rubber cover. The hard shell is a bit slippery but overall it is a well put together case and leaves more than enough space for a tempered glass screen protector. The only unfortunate thing about this case is that there is a hole where the buttons on the back of the phone are, really wish there was a cover for the buttons as well but I have yet to see such a case, like the Otterbox cases for the LG G2.
Overall it is a good case and worth the price.
I purchased this case a the Verizon store when I got my phone, overal great case offeres good protection while keeping the phones slimness, just an fyi if you order the white one it has like a shimmery look, my wife says It looks like it's for a woman
I have this case too and I like it. FYI the white case is just as shimmery as the OEM white backplate. Hell, Spigen calls it "Shimmery White..." Oh and it's $9.99 right now.

Ohh that one. I actually have that one too...LOL. I couldn't decide so I got both.

So now I'm going to have 3 cases and 2 OEM Qi enabled cases....:silly:
I have the charcoal one and love it! Back isn't slick to me...unlike the protection and slimness
I have the Spigen Slim Armor in Metal Slate and I'm extremely happy with it. Low profile, lightweight, and the cutouts are spot on.
I bought the Incipio Dual Pro case at the store when I got my G3, and I consider the Spigen to be much better. While the Dual Pro does seem to protect the phone very well, the ridges along the side are so high and protrude so far onto the face of the phone that it makes it nearly impossible to swipe from the left to access the menu in most apps. Even though I have huge hands, I find it a challenge to hit the upper left part of the screen with my right thumb on the G3, so using the swipe from the left side is essential to me. It's not an issue with the Spigen Slim Armor, as it does not extend far enough onto the face of the phone to get in the way. :good:
Which one of the Spigen's do you like better?
I'm also rocking this case.. overall i'm happy with it. Very slim and fits snuggly.
Only downfalls are the back is a little slick. not a big deal. Theirs not covers over the buttons, on my g2 I had a balistics case that covered the buttons which was nice. The only thing that really bothers me about this case is where the ubs and headphone jacks plug in. the edges on the case are somewhat sharp. I hold my phone in a way that it rests on my pinky finger, and its irritating to say the least. Maybe its just me and my big hands..
Just picked up this case as well as I can't stand the built in screen protector on my Supacase Beetle Unicorn due to the dead spots. So going naked for the screen, but will have this case on it. My wife has one on her g2 and always liked how it felt.

How is the white color holding up. Every white case I have after a few weeks it turns brown or black. I cant stand it.
For the sharp edge on the pinky finger just get some 1000 grit sand paper and take the edge off. Helps a lot.

Oh, thank goodness it isn't just me! My pinky always finds the USB port hole, but I figure if it's anything like the Incipio case I had on my S4 it'll smooth itself out over time.

Mines pulls away too. Thought it just was the way it was due to the screen getting so close to the edge and the case not having much to hold on to.
Great Protection BUT
I purchased the Slim Armor case. Really like the look and the fit (stays in place and doesn't cover the screen). My only issue is the depth of the power and volume keys. With the case, they are recessed almost 1/8th of an inch. This makes it harder to use both.

I disagree about the recessed buttons. I find it makes it very easy to find the buttons and avoid touching the camera lens. Also, I have long skinny fingers and am able to use the device comfortably with one hand. This phone isn't for people with small hands...
Hello XDA,
Im looking for a case that will protect the nexus 6 from minor drops and that i will be able to enjoy from its beatiful desing and its white color.
I dont want the case to hide the white color on the back and the "NEXUS" writting. It will be great if the case could seal the audio input to prevent it from getting dirt and eventually ruining it.
I dont mind if the case will make my phone bigger or heavier by much.
Highly prefer Mat material and not plastic because plastic fealing makes my hand sweat.
Could you please recommend me a good case that fits my needs?
Appreciate any help offered!
I got this one and like it. Transparent back and choice of color for the sides. Cutouts are accurate.

Its up to you, there is no "best transparent case" but there are many good choices.
Here are my favorites for clear/transparent casesmost of my cases are clear/transparent)
SUPCase (frosted clear PC back with TPU bumper)
TUDIA ( TPU Clear top and bottom with a matte clear back
Cruzerlite (clear back and sides TPU with android logo on back)
Evecase (100% clear TPU case but the buttons are hard to push)
Ringke Fusion (hard PC back with TPU bumper)
I'm a big fan of my Orzly Flexislim. It's the frosted clear color. There's also a smoky black one out there but since you've got a Cloud White I figure this is most applicable to you.

Buttons are probably my least favorite part of the case. It's just cut-outs, and the material left around the cutouts is pretty thin. I'm not afraid it will tear or anything, just that they are the two bits of wiggliness on the otherwise solid case.
On the plus side all the sides (both top and bottom) are covered all the way around which is nice. This is in contrast to cases like the Bear Motion sandstone case or other similar snap-on cases that leave the top and bottom exposed.

the cutout is my fav, in this way the buttons are flushed with the case. Preventing alot of accidental presses.

I have Spigen ultra hybrid with clear back and gun metal sides, and the Ringke fusion clear. Still making up my mind which I prefer. The Ringke has caps for the headphone and USB sockets....the headphone one is OK but the USB takes a bit of fiddling to get it to close flush. I think I prefer the feel of the Ringke but the Spigen feels a little more solid. The Ringke is better for the buttons, there's a clear separation between the power and volume buttons. With the Ringke case there's a clear audible click when the buttons are pressed, which I don't get with the Spigen. Both cases work OK with my tylt vu charger.

As you can see in my signiture, i had Motorola atrix 4G as my daily driver before the Nexus 6. I didnt use the audio port quite much and it got ruined by the dust overtime. Same thing about the hdmi port but not the usb port.
I had the atrix for almost 3 years and those port got ruined twice after i repaired them. If i took the atrix to the beach i noticed it always got sand into the port even i didnt took it out from my backpack. Sand can get in from the tiniest holes and i plan to use the nexus 6 for a long time, therefore i wanna make sure i get the best suitable case for me.
Cheers.
Huge fan of the Cruzerlite cases. I have the clear one on my N6 now and it's great.
EDIT: I'm using a Dbrand skin, so I switched to Ringke Fusion Crystal so I could see the skin more clearly on the back. Fantastic clear case.
Tried due diligence and to search for the right thread.
I picked up the Fosman case on Amazon, one of the cheapo $10 ones, and it's turned out pretty great. Love the matte/frosted back, though I wish it were a bit more transparent so the black came through better. Good purchase, though I'm sure all of these TPU / cruzerlite / whatever companies are pretty much selling the exact same product.

I cover my ports also to keep crap out..even if you find a case you like but it doesn't have covers you can always spend a couple bucks and grab silicone port plugs online... I use them when not in my OtterBox on my Note and they work well.

How did you like the UAG compared to the Ringke Max? I have the Max now and while I like it I find it a bit slippery on the back, so now I'm gonna try the UAG.

They are both very good cases. The UAG is a little slimmer maybe, but not much. I might actually go back to the Max, I haven't decided yet. I think if you like the one you'll like the other. I guess the one advantage the UAG has is, even though it's still slick plastic the indents on the back give a little more grip, and the volume buttons feel better.

Has any users here used or have this case for their nexus 6? I already paid for it and it will be here tomorrow using amazing 1 day shipping. Curious what others think.
I have it. Bought it and the ringke fusion same time. I like both, and quality seems to be identical. That being said I find I use the ringke more as it has the accent depression on the back that feels good in hand, as well as the protruding buttons are easier to distinguish.
The upside if the spigen however, is that it seems to have less of a rainbow effect on the back at certain angles.
I have this case, I love it because of the clear back, really shows off the beauty of the Nexus 6. However, as mentioned by the other poster, this case makes it very hard to distinguish the power and volume buttons. The buttons on my case also weren't very tactile, I always find myself hitting the wrong one. But, I still thoroughly enjoy this case, it protects the Nexus 6 very well.

Thanks. I am putting a dbrand skin on it...blue one actually. So excited about this. Thanks I always used Spigen for all my devices. Just figured I ask. Is this a slip on type one or is it clip like the metal ones? I didnt really find anything about how it gets put on.
I just push the bottom of the phone in and snap it down in. The border is tpu, so it has some flex while offering some drop protection.
I use a black carbon fiber slickwrap on my n6, and it really does emphasize the beauty of this beast.

I checked via web for a review of this (video) is there one?
I know there is one comparing the 2 cases I have, I ordered both right after watching it. I'm at work right now so I can't really track down the link.

thats ok i already bought it. The last thing I am wonder is do u have a screen protector on it with this case or the glass screen protectors? will they work with this case?
The glass do yes, but I got rid of mine because I hate the halo. I'm using the plastic one that came with my ringke.
Nice case ..
For those that have 4 or more cases, what's your favorite? Believe it or not, one of my favs cost me nothing. I had ordered a case off ebay and received the wrong color. No biggie, except I should get what I ordered. I filed a case about it, and got refunded and didn't have to return the case I got.
Anyway, it is a "cheap" chinese case that looks awesome (to me) and has decent protection. As many cases as I have, it's funny that the free one is my fav. Btw, here it is: http://www.ebay.com/itm/18172353505...49&var=480675456481&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Awesome gripability, and decent protection. Plus I dig how it looks. Yours?
For me I'd have to say the spigen ultra hybrid. Yeah it is hard to not know what buttons are which but you get used to it. I had ringke but that is a little more flimsy but also good. Port covers were kinda annoying.

I've had both of these and prefer the ringke due to the spigen's buttons. I just couldn't live with them.

Definitely my 2 favorite. (I like making my own back covers and the Ringke and Spigen let me use the same ones in either one.)
Here's my two cents...
Port covers: I'm on the fence with this one. I like the fact they are protected. Yay. I use mainly my wireless charger so I don't care as much about the USB one. I DO, however, play music through my aux jack in my car whenever I'm driving and it does get annoying.
Verdict: No port covers. If you use your headphone jack often, like I do, and if you use a Meenova Dash, like I do, the port covers are annoying.
Buttons: Ringke has the buttons down for sure. The Spigen, and Obliq, not so much.. Actually, it might as well be flush because I don't know where the hell they are regardless.
Verdict: Ringke hands down.
Summary: 1.) Use the Ringke and cut the port covers off, or 2.) Do what I did and modify the Spigen. (I like the sleekness of the Spigen on the back. No ridge around the Nexus part, so I can make covers showing Nexus, or hiding it with seamless coverage. I also like the Spigen dimple on the "M" for some reason.) There's a million ways you can do it, but I went with something totally ghetto and quick, but highly functional. Grab some 2mm 3M double sided adhesive and attach a nipple of your choice to desired buttons. In my case, I went for the first thing I saw and clipped off a little piece of an old sim card and stuck it on there. 6 days and counting, and still on there!

Diztronic ultra for me!
Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear.
the buttons on the ultra hybrid clear aren't as good as the colored version
Bear Motion. Has the best grip.
Has anyone found an ultra thin case like a Calicase or Peel?
so far i can't find one. i loved the offical LG case for the nexus 5x. it was basically a cover for the back and had cutout on the bottom. all i want is to protect the back from scuffs. don't need a big case.
I'm holding out for the Ringke Slim to come out for the Pixel. It's been a perfect slim case for my old Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, and then the 6P.
I'll be using the Pleson TPU case in the mean time.
I ordered a pleson from amazon. It features some sort of dots on the back to prevent sticking air bubbles patterns. Get get on my s6edge with tpu cases today. We'll see how it holds up.
I've been looking for a thin case myself. I just put my Pixel into this case a few minutes ago:

I was skeptical because of the top and bottom which typically are nonexistent on these types of cases but I'm very happy.

I was looking at this case last night! Looks like the Ringke Slim, which I've had in the past and loved. Was it tight when putting it on? My only concern with these kinds of cases is scraping the edges of the phone when putting it on/taking it off.

I just popped it out and back in to see and no it didn't seem to be too tight. I don't believe this is a concern. The edges of the case are also rounded and have a soft matte type of finish.
Good case option from Amazon
If you need a quick case at a good price, try this one out. I ordered it in advance. It isn't that special but does the basics. I think it is slim, but not ultra slim. Check it out until more cases hit the market. Different colors and styles are available.
Search amazon for this name and brand. $7.99 shipped:
Google Pixel Case, DGtle [Shock Absorbent] Anti-Scratches TPU Gel Premium Slim Flexible Soft Bumper Rubber Protective Case Cover for Google Pixel (Smoke Black)
What I need is something like the custom live cases from Google, but not at $50 CAD. I have a Spigen thin fit on my 6P and I'm looking for something similar, but not clear.
what you guys are listing and talking about are thin cases, OP is looking for ultra thin cases, like the orzly flexslim series:
http://orzly.com/products/flexi-slim
I hoping they will come out with one for the pixel too, these are really just for scratch protection and will offer literally no drop protection, its similar to having a slim on your phone but more flexibility as you can just put it on and take it off easily.

Could you post a few more pics? I'm thinking of ordering this case too.
Thanks!
i'm hoping to go with just a bumper case around the outer edge, because this phone is a beauty and i dont want to cover it up! that said, if i did get a full case and wanted to keep it relatively slim, i'm probably go with the diztronic matte slim case. i have one on my 5x, and it's been not only great at protecting on minor falls and bumps, but has held up extremely well over time. couldn't say enough about that case. looks like amazon currently has it available for purchase, but it's not shipping until 11/4.
I'm using this i love the feel and fit on it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LEAMYFS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Are the edges the same color as the back (a matte black)? or are they glossy?

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's actually exactly the case I have on right now. What I meant was a case with open top, open bottom and open buttons. But not clear.
There seems ot be some confusion on what an "Ultra thin" case actually is. let me help you guys better understand this, and why android people want huge clunky cases baffles me, but coming from a lifetime of androids, then switching to a 6s, and having a fantastic case experience... this is annoying.
This is an ultra thin case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JH87ZSQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Notice the use of factory buttons, it does not cover the bottom of the device, yet still wraps the corners so if dropped is protected. so far the closest I have found on amazon for my Pixel is this case from this thread:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3MQCG0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Which I ordered, and will arrive Thursday.
If there are plastic buttons that cover up the factor buttons that stick out of the case, it's safe to assume it's not an ultra thin case.
Just got that one by Maxboost and I can confirm its definitely the thinnest "case" out there right now. It's definitely a shell more than a case, and it's a bit slick, but overall I think I'm gonna stick with it. I used some fine steel wool to give it some grip, and it feels better IMO.

Bingo bingo. People don't seem to get it. I settled for the maxboost also but it looks like decent space between the camera and the case worrying me. Calicase and peel are the leaders IMHO in this thin case space. Just no love for the pixel.

Thanks for confirming. I was hoping for the ultra thin tpu. Can you add some pictures of it after the wool treatment?
