Received my Airframe+ today, it is a perfect fit. Nice compact design that clips onto most any air vent. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a universal car mount.

...but maybe not with case
I have the airframe+ - great, simple, well-made device. It worked great on my G3 with case, but be forewarned: it barely fits the N6 without a case, and I can't get the phone to fit with the Spigen ultra hybrid bumper case, which is a minimal case.
I think we need an airframe++ !

Sadly I found the same thing the other day when I got the airframe+. Wondering if that kind of stress will damage the phone or case.

hmm.....my wife just ordered one for me for xmas too. Oh well. I'll see how the fit is when it arrives.
Bump. Interested to know if this works for nexus 6 with a slim case. Anyone else have any car mount recommendations?
I have an Airframe+ and have been able to mount it with two different slim cases. No issues.
Used both -
Spigen Thin Fit - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OH4HVE8/ref=pe_385040_121528360_TE_dp_1
and
Generic Thin TPU 0.3mm - http://www.ebay.com/itm/281501478012
Is it a tight fit where you feel that your device is under stress? From the posts above, it seems that it barely fits without any give.
Can you elaborate further? Thanks
With the spigen ultra hybrid case you have to force it in. If you are rocking a naked phone or slim case it will be fine. I may just try to shave off a little bit of the kenu+ to reduce the stress with the case on.

I am torn between these 2 cases from Spigen
From what i have read the Slim Armour offers more protection and a bit more bulk however the Neo Hybrid is obviously slimmer and looks better, although i suppose the looks go on personal preference
Just wondering if anyone has any of these and would you recommend them?
I would recommend both cases. I prefer the slim armor though since I've dropped every phone I've ever owned multiple times. It is more protective, buttons aren't loose and the overall fit is tighter. Like a perfect glove. I still use my Neo though. I love the look and use it on quick trips to store etc.
I had a new hybrid before. And it's a nice case however, the plastic ring around the outside was pretty flexible and it eventually broke. So I ordered a UAG case for my note 3.
I also recommend both cases. I have the white slim armor and I have 2 neo hybrids. A satin silver and a champagne gold. Both are great cases but I'd trust my Slim Armor more to take a fall. The white Slim Armor is $12.99 in the US if I'm not mistaken

Wonder if slim armor is smaller than the bounce...
I bought and received the Slim Armor case from Spigen in Slate color and man, this is a quality case. It fits snugly and perfectly. Everything is flawless. This is probably the nicest case I've ever had.
It does add some bulk to the phone but it's not a whole lot.

I measured mine and it was 13mm. This case definitely adds some bulk to the phone. Holding just the phone naked is ok, but it is not as comfortable with the case on for me.
Just a question : do you have some signal loss with the case put on the phone (either wifi or gsm) : how many DB (decibel) do you lose on the signal while putting it ?
My neo hybrid came in last night and boy is this case slippery.
Don't think I'm going to use this case for over a week.

Slim armour
I would suggest the slim armour one as this is the case I have been using from last 6 months and believe me it has never showed me any signs of worries at all..It is very finely gripped on the phone...and creates no issue of the signals and works really very fine....I dont have any hard experiences with Neo hybrid...so cant say some wrong about it..but slim armour is one of my favorites and I would highly recommend this one...!!!!
From my personal experience of playing around with both cases on a friend's note 3 I'd say the slim amour is your best bet for everyday protection with no worries. ....The neo looks better but doesn't fit as snug and imo it's more of a eye candy case yea it looks great but is slippery and almost has zero lip around the screen..If you get both I'd only use the neo when at home or maybe a night out to eat ..something along those lines...Both are great but slim Armour for protection with some added bulk or neo for good looks slim feel but you sacrifice that extra piece of mind.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
I like my neo hybrid.
I took a look at the slim armour and I dont really like how it looks.
The neo hybrid is enough protection for me. It doesn't add bulk. Most importantly to me it looks like there is no case at all (in slate at least)
There is probably a 1mm lip on the screen. That might be a problem for you but I like the fact that the lip isn't too high. Just gets in the way of using the phone.
I don't find it any more slippery than no case. And my case fits pretty dam snug.
I would recommend both cases. Neo Hybrid looks better and doesn't add bulky. Slim Armor fits much better with the phone and the quality/price is better than Neo Hybrid
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
I have the Spigen Slim Armor in Slate and the Neo Hybrid in Champagne. I love both the slim armor more. However I'll keep both the slim armor for best protection while looking premium and the neo for when going to office conference or something formal and extravagant because it adds more pinaché. The Neo is way slimmer than Slim. Neo barely adds and bulk to back and slight mm to side. So if you're wanting slimmer profile go neo. However beware the back holds on to your oily finger prints.

I ordered both of them and I would recommend the slim armor over the neo hybrid. They both are pleasing to the eye, granted the neo hybrid looks a bit nicer but the build quality was suspect imo. The plastic frame and super cheap buttons were a recipe for failure on a "legitimate" drop. But the slim armor has more protection a little more weight but between that and the EXCELLENT tactility of the buttons make it the ultimate case for the Note 3 imo and looks just as nice

I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid but I am looking for a thinner case that adds less width to the phone. Minimal protection is sufficient.

Does it comes with the hole for sling? I used to have one for my Note 2. Slim and light but minimal protection.
I have all the spigen cases for the note 3, i think the best one is the bounce, the crappiest one is the neo hybrid.
And yes the thinnest is the bounce, and the thickest is the slim armor

search ebay for "0.3mm note 3 case". It's basically a semi hard plastic wrap/case that is super thin and only provides scratch protection. They're dirt cheap too. like $1 each. I bought a dozen and can replace them at will.

Diztronic is the thinnest TPU I've used, it was ten bucks shipped from Amazon and fits in the holster that the Seido surface uses.

Only the corners are protected and it's actually one of the lightest cases and since it's made of rubber you wont have signal interruptions. Only metal bumpers cause those.
Do any of the suggested covers and bumpers raise the back to protect the camera?

Just got my case today and it works great just like my Note 2 did... It's nice for scratches and covers a good part of the phone. Fits nicely and adds a nice grip to it I like better than the back.
Just ordered this off Amazon for $10 and I have to say that this is an amazing case. The fit and feel is second to none and I like the angled corners of the case. It has a nice rubberized finish and fingerprints don't show. I'm getting used to the design on the back...I wasn't a fan at first. I think anyone would be happy to have this in their case line-up.

I have the bounce case and its great. Its not to thick, provides enough protection and covers the volume and power buttons. Works great and with a good price.
i'm digging this case too. I only dropped this phone while I was running, it slid on the front of the phone for 5 feet and didn't get a scratch or crack.
I dropped this phone a few times with this case. No damage. The case is a typical tpu case but with a nice design and pattern.

I have decided to get this.....any one have one?
I really rather like mine. Feels good in the hand.
I have the Neo Hybrid and it definitely is a great quality case. Probably offers a lot more protection vs the Ringke Slim (which I also have and use), but be aware, the bulk difference is very noticeable.

I have both but prefer the ringke slim. Theres a significant difference in size between the two cases, and you can really tell when holding in your hand. The spigen case was just too bulky.
I picked up the Ringke Clear one (not a slim case) and the Spigen Hybrid which is clear as well on the back. Which Ringke did you have that broke?
i have the Fusion and the Spigen Hybrid.....definitely like the Fusion better....but thats my opinion. good thing we get plenty of choices
I decided to get a Toastmade wooden back cover and will use a nice leather pouch, I may get a different clear case at some point, but the Spigen cases lack the tactile feel you need to differentiate the buttons.
I have also bad experience with ringke slim cases..
Ultra hybrid better then all of them.
Serious question, how are you breaking your Ringke slims? I ask as a user of 72 hours w/o issues who has already ordered a Crystal. Do you mean as you were putting it on?
I have both but prefer the ringke slim as well, the hybrid is very bulky and slippery.
I been using the ringke for a while with zero issues.
The nexus 6 is pretty wide so the ringke keeps it slim.
I have 5 ringke slim cases. Have used them on 2 N5's, 2 GS4's, GS3, 2 GS6's, and the N6. None have broken. Even with the N6 (if you have a ringke slim on your N6 then you know how much of a PITA the slim is to take off) I've had zero issues with these cases breaking or cracking.

The Spigen Air Cushion bumper case is decent as is the Rinke tpu bumper. Very similar. The Rinke has covers for the USB and aux so I'm using that at the moment. Ive got 4 more cases coming Tuesday. Might try to do my own post sometime as I'm up to 13 cases or so besides the two spigens I've dumped in the trash.
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?

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.

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..

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.
