Thanks! I was curious about the Ringke Slim as I have one arriving tomorrow. It's safe to say that I'll be ditching my Bugdroid TPU case for that one permanently.

I tend to use the Ringke when I'm in or around the office, or just want the phone to look nice.
I seem to lean more towards throwing my Bugdroid on when out of the office for the grip and a little added security.
It's situational for me. The Ringke looks great, but it can be a bit slippery at times.

Yeah, but on previous Ringke Slim cases I've had I've found that the white is slippery while the black finish is much more "flat" textured and ads much more grip, similar to the flat black TPU cases. This is one reason why I went with the black one this time too. It arrives today and I'll report back with the feel of it.

That would suggest that the colored variants have some sort of textured backing then. Definitely interested to hear back on that.
I was debating a black, but I wanted it quick and figured I'd just do a custom paint job myself if I wanted a different color.
Really wanna get the ringke but owning one for my nexus 4 I found that they scratch the phone.

They do. I remember this being the way it was previously. The white one was very slick and almost shiny. The black was a rougher texture and more of a matte look. However, after doing some more reading just now, it appears that the gunmetal one has the same feel as the white one. So if you want more texture you have to go black.
And, in looking at my order again I was reminded that I ordered gunmetal and not black. Looks like I'll need to place another order.

I haven't had any issues, yet. But I can see where it could possibly scratch has it is not the simplest of cases to remove.

Hopefully you ordered with Amazon, they have a great return/refund/exchange service. Good news is they are relatively inexpensive.
Updated overviews of the Ringke SLIM & Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit cases.
quick question @Andromjb , which one feels more sleek? based on past experiences with other phone, the ringke would be more sleek when compared with the TPU case?
Didnt try cruzerlite before and I wonder if their TPU technology is thinner than other TPU makers like spigen ultra or moody?

The Ringke is by far more sleek.. It's more of a "flashy" type case, keeping the form of the Nexus 6 practically identical.
Cruzerlite is a solid TPU case for the price. It does add a little thickness, most notably around the edges. Provides great grip and mid range drop protection.
Can't go wrong with either case, all comes down to personal preference of course.
On another note, I was recently contacted by Orzly. They will be sending me their Nexus 6 cases for review. Looking forward to receiving their products and hopefully I'll get those hope soon as well.

Hey, is it possible to post more photos of the skin? I only saw two. Interested in some side photos and whatnot. I really want to switch mine to a black cover and get the white N6 cause the white and black thing throws me off, but really dislike the midnight blue color scheme. Thanks if you can

I personally wouldn't put any white on the front of mine, but that's my personal preference. I'm by no means telling you not to if you want that option.
dbrand has a lot of nice pictures up on their site where you can check out of the front options.
Fronts:
Matte White
Leather White
Matte Black
White Carbon Fiber
Black Carbon Fiber
Black Metal
Black Leather
Red Carbon Fiber
I meant you said ebony and ivory together, but you got a black covering. So I am assuming you're talking about the bezel on the side being white or the black front and white cover? I'm confused now hahs

I got 5 difference cases so far for my 6. I had an Incipio Feather on my G2 and it was slim and grippy with good protection. I wanted to find something similar with minimal bulk because the phone is pretty massive already.
I got these:

The phone is pretty big and slick on it's own as most of you know. I want something with a good grip that won't slide around easy and offers reasonable corner protection.
The grippiest by far is the Bear Motion. No contest on this one, it will not slip from your hand or surface. The only issue I have is it covers the sides really well, but the corners seem very exposed if you drop the phone at an angle.
The Tudia and the LK both had some grippy spots that were really nice (the clear parts of the case, the translucent was pretty slick), but overall they were not very great at all. While these rubbery cases would probably offer great protection all around, I really didn't like that they weren't all grippy, and the button covering bothered me. I found it hard to hit the buttons and tell which was which.
The Ringke case is very low profile. It also is around the entire phone making it very secure. I am sure it offers very good protection but it is not any grippier than the uncased phone, it might even be more slick and lead to more drops for me. It is also the only case I had a hard time removing the phone from, and I dropped my phone onto my tile counter getting it out of the case.
The Spigen case is great shape for me. It might be slightly thicker than the Ringke case overall, but not noticeable really. It is mostly open on the top and bottom, which I like a lot. Unfortunately it is pretty slick also and I don't like that one bit.
Based on my last case for my G2, I drop my phone on the corners a lot. I have attached a picture of the corners from my old case to show the damage, but the case probably saved my old screen.
I really like the Spigen case size and shape. I really dislike how slick it is. If I could combine it with the grip of the Bear Motion, that would be my ideal case. The plastic cases are fine, and the LK has some grip on the back for 25% of it, but I really dislike the button covers. I think I am going to have to go with the Ringke at the moment because it offers the most protection from falls (I hope). Since both it and the Spigen are slick and I will probably drop them, I want that extra coverage. Maybe I can find a way to rough it up a bit as well. I am hoping Incipio makes a nice soft touch case for the phone soon, as I will snatch that up right away.
I am going to give them all some time in the drivers seat though, because I am not sure what will work out best. Will I drop the phone less because of the Bear Motion grip, meaning that it would be better even though the corners are exposed? Only time will tell, but the floors in my house are tile and I hope to keep my glass in a non-cracked condition.
UPDATE: More pictures, cases and video
I talked a lot about grippiness of cases in that, and I didn't have the Soft Feel versions of the Ringke or Spigen. I got those and I also got an Orzly case as well.
I put all the cases on a fairly slick book and raised the book until they fell so you could get an idea of each case's mu. You can tell how grippy the cases are by watching how fast they slide and at what angle they start sliding.
The Soft feel versions of the Ringke and Spigen are way better to hold than the other variations for me. As you can tell from the video they are vast improvements on their slick counterparts for grip.
The Orzly was pretty comparable to those cases. It feels a little grippier in hand, and has reasonable corner protection for me. I also like that it comes in colors with grip instead of just black, which I am not too fond of. It is the only case that just has a cutout with no protection around the front of the buttons. I also kind of like that as nothing gets in the way of button pressing for volume and power.
As you see from the video, the Bear Motion is by far the grippiest, but it seems fatter than most and offers the worst corner protection
Great to see all these other cases. I got the Bear Motion in black due to my previous experiences with them, and I love mine. I wasn't so worried about drop protection as I was grip. If the phone weren't so dang slippery I wouldn't have a case at all . The Bear Motion cured that for me of course, and I like how it fits tight and smooth with no wiggle or creaking. Perfect for my needs
Great post. I'm patiently waiting delivery of my Bear Motion and SF Black Ringke slim cases.
I see you got the gun metal ringke slim. It is as slippery as the phone itself indeed. So is the white one. I just got the black SF one and it is totally different. Grippy, although I don't know how it compares in grippyness to a bear motion. The SF black ringke slim is exactly like the Nexus 5 black back. Thanks for sharing your pics!

I have the SF Black ordered, it will be here Friday. I want that grip.
Is it still easy to press the buttons with the Bear Motion on? I had one for my MotoX and I couldn't stand how difficult it was to press the buttons given the lip.
You should try Orzly® - Exec-Armour. I order a white Exec it is grippy but I think the corner protection and could be better so that is where Ringke SF could come in. Here is the link for the Orly http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00P12CNFW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I have a TUDIA I really like it. The buttons are easy to distinguish for me because of the gape between the power and volume rockers. I bought a clear one and since I also have some Cruzerlite cases I still say it's nice to have another solid TPU case. The addition of the button covers built into the case is why I bought this case and its better than I expected.
I'm going to buy s black one once its available with amazon prime.

I noticed you have the black Ringke Slim in the pictures. It's smooth like the other colors, not very grippy? I ask due to hearing from other sources saying it has more texture. Looks smooth to me.
When you say SF Black Ringke, do you mean the Ringke Fusion?
Thank you for the pictures and info. :good:

The "black" Ringke in OP is actually gunmetal, it is actually the Amazon link listed in the OP. The SF Black is the same case, but black with SF (Soft Feel perhaps?), it is also in the Amazon link but as another color. The other colors don't have the soft touch, and are apparently more slippery due to this. I only have the SF Black, so I can't comment on the others.

So it is in fact soft? Has texture for some grip?
I have a white slim right now. I like it, but it is smooth and slick. I'm interested in the black if it has added grip.

I think it is easier than the MotoX. I have used a 2013 X with a bear motion case and I found it easier than that, but it is still slightly thicker than the Spigen and Ringke so that might make it a little more difficult.

I purchased the Gunmetal. I learned that was soft feel and it is only the SF black that has that property.

This is correct, I thought the Gunmetal looked like the black, and didn't realize there was a difference in texture when I ordered.
All the ringke slims EXCEPT for the "SF Black" model are the same material. Slick slippery plastic almost identical to the Nexus 6 native back. The SF Black is soft touch/softfeel exactly like the native back of the black Nexus 5. That being said, all the ringke slim models are very nice cases, the best IMO as far as minimal and solid build.
Spigen thin black is nice... Adds grip without girth. And for a general bump protector its good. But lacks good corner protection from drop, and if you screen down on a table, without a screen protector, the glass is flush with the case and screen damage can happen...

Ringke, hands down. But Bear Motion is not hard for me to press by any means.
For me quicksand style cases are the best. In not typically a phone dropper so coverage is less important than grip. The bear motion cases are great. Super slim and super grippy.

Most Ringke cases have exposed buttons, so they are easily accessible. I love their designs. You can check my gallery here if you want to see the power and volume rockers up close.

I have a Ringke Slim Crystal. I don't care for the clear look, so I'm going to return it. However, I like the Bear Motion cases--but am concerned for how easy/difficult it is to press the buttons, given my previous experience with the MotoX's version.

I saw a few OP5 "leaked" pictures with cases that had various accent colors around the top/bottom edges and camera hole. I really liked the one in gold. Thanks for the link.
Edit: I just ordered one with the gold trim for my Midnight Black 8GB/128GB OP5 also ordered today.
Are there any cases on Amazon in the US? I can't find any.

I agree that that web site sucks for clarity around selected the color you want. First and this is my assumption from the web site pictures, all the cases are actually transparent plastic/silicon but include accent colors on the top/bottom, trim colors on the camera/flash hole and on the buttons. This is backed their rambling product details description.
Assuming that is correct the color of your phone always shows with only the accents altering the look. So my phone is Midnight black and that web page allowed me to pick either a black or a gold trim color. That despite the gold trim photo shows a tan OP5 cover with gold trim. I'm expecting that I'll still get my desired black/gold look after applying the case.
Unfortunately for you, I can only see two trim color choices one black the other gold. This despite your desired blue included in some of the case photos. Thank goodness the case is so cheap or I would not have bought one. For me this case will likely only be temporary until the usual top brands make cases that I prefer and have in stock.
I like this case's transparent back as I can further customize the look. I have a clear backed bumper case on my current phone where I photoshopped a fitted picture of my favorite NBA team's logo that I printed then cut to fit inside the cover.

Oh, I didn't look very closely at whether it is opaque or transparent. If it is transparent, I may just have to do what you are suggesting with adding a picture in there of my choosing. I ordered the black one. I can report back once I receive it, which may take 2-3 weeks to arrive in the US. That red and black Otterbox case looks awesome too! Maybe someday I'll splurge on that one.

Still nothing on Amazon US, but Ebay now has the official Oneplus cases listed, as well as a bunch of other ones. None of them ship from within the US though so who knows on shipping time. Still wait and see at this point.
Hey guys,
Don't get me wrong, I will probably put a case on my phone too... but did you catch the Jerryrig Everything review of the OP5? It seems pretty resistant to scratches... only a razor actually managed to scratch the back of the device. Looks pretty robust.

Aye, at least they're planning to support it though. I always liked their screen protectors.
On Jul 3rd I pre-ordered two dBrand skins for my OP5 and they arrived on Jul 6th. The two skins were the Mahogany wood (back and camera lens cover) and the Hyperblack Titanium (back with red camera lens cover and red 1+ logo). Even though I wanted to add the front Mahogany skins the fact that I've also ordered the Ozly tpsp screen protector made me realized I'd have issues whenever I needed to replace the screen cover.
Attached are pictures of both skins with accessories un-applied and the Mahogany skins applied including the camera lens cover. Notice that the two Mahogany skins have different wood patterns. Running your finger over each skin I realized that the Mahogany adds almost no additional grip to the slippery naked OP5 while the Hyperblack Titanium skin has more texture which I believed would add more grip. This is not to say that once applied the Mahogany skin did not reduce the overall slipper feel of a naked OP5, as it did. In the future I'll likely try the Hyperblack Titanium but right now I really like the Mahogany's overall look the best.
I still bought a cheap clear plastic case which is currently on a slow boat from China. I'll use it when I'm going someplace where accidents are more likely such as camping or a party. These skins are so thin that I don't anticipate putting the case on to be an issue.
This is the first time I've every bought or applied a skin as I've previously only gone with bumper cases. Over all I think the application went well but I certainly don't have the corner flaps applied as well as seen on dBrand's OP5 application video. Most definitely you need a hairdryer during application as I had a bubble under the skin and heating that section and the bubble's path to the outside saved having to peal the skin off to start again. It works much like you push bubbles out from a clear plastic screen protector. Getting the initial bottom alignment applied properly is the key to the rest of the application. Mess that up and you alignment issues multiply. Heating and stretching the skin is dangerous and only helps with the tiniest of misalignment.
The dBrands fit overall and specifically around the buttons is as perfect as a mass produced item can be. In conclusion, if you choose to use a skin you'd be hard pressed to find a brand with a more accurate fit.
P.S. For grip the Carbon Fiber would likely be your best bet but I thought it was butt ugly so went another way.
Edit: Added top, bottom, right and left side pictures.
Hyperblack comes along with the white 1+ logo? Or is it just the packaging design?
I am thinking of buying Black Dragon.
Usually, when is the Dbrand Sale? Any idea?
Thanks

No, what appears on the Hyperblack picture as a white 1+ logo is just the skin's backing tape. The Hyperblack I picked has a cut out of the 1+ logo then I ordered the red colored logo cut out to fill in the skin's logo cut out. On the Mahogany skin I chose not to have any 1+ logo so the skin was solid (no logo cut out at all). The Black Dragon skin was already available when I purchased my skins. I was tempted to get that instead of the Hyperblack.
I have no idea when there will be a sale. I didn't feel the price was too excessive. In fact I would have only bought the Mahogany at this time but the added $5 for shipping meant that a second skin only cost me an extra $6 and the shipping on both skins became free. That's much like how Amazon prices small items to be just under the free shipping costs to get you to buy one more item. In this case I went for it as a Hyperblack skin also tempted me.
I just got the black dragon skin with orange logo and camera cutout. I previously used the titanium and the hyperblack on my Nexus 6p and I can say that the dragon skin has a very similar texture than the hyperblack. IN terms of looks, I have to say that it looks similar to the hyperblack except for the cracked look/texture and the slight silver highlights in certain areas. All in all, I think it looks amazing on this device.
Im looking to grab one of the Mah Wood one and having it under my Orzly flexi case. It looks pretty amazing with the wood skin. Would you be able to show off the sides of the phone? I would love to see the fit on the sides
dBrand sure do make some precision skins! Let us know once you installed them!
Here is mine! Just finished. Marble with cement logo

I don't trust myself either!! Thinking of getting one of the rhinoshield bumpers so I can keep it looking nice, on the back at least :victory: Hopefully that along with the tempered glass SP I have one will protect it.. and so long as the skin is grippy I hopefully shouldn't drop it.

Just be careful with that combo on a Rhino Shield. they can rip off Tempered glass and the cases lately have been so tight getting them on with even a skin on is really hard and taking it off is even worse. I damaged my OP3 trying to get the Rhino Shield off when using a skin. best results is to cut the skin so it doesn't go up and down the sides or corners of the phone.
I still remember ordering that case there was no warning on the prouduct page about it not working with tempered glass and when I complianed and got nowhere a sudden disclaimer went up :/

It definitely has some texture that helps the phone be less slippery but not as much as I expected. But it certainly help add a decent amount of grip, especially on the sides of the phone which are very thin and rounded.

Ye my mate was saying the RhinoShield on his OP3t is way too tight and difficult to get off. I saw one on a S8 and looks a fair bit looser, hoping it's a bit looser on the OP5 and fits.
Thanks for the heads up though:good:

So it does actually look as good in real life as in the renders then eh? How does it feel?
Any good op6t cases?
I like my Supcase Unicorn Beetle. Everything is great about it, except the back is a finger print magnet.
I was eyeballing the rhinoshields, I've used them in the past and they are usually pretty great.

I use the Spigen Liquid Air Armor. I'm a fan of Spigen cases and have always found them to be high quality and moderately priced. This particular case has nice sized lip on the front to guard against damages from placing the phone face down on surfaces. The case is grippy in the hands and has a nice matte finish and diamond texture pattern on the back. The cutouts for the buttons and charging port are perfect and do not interfere with operations in any manner. It also doesn't add a tremendous amount of bulk on what is already a pretty sizable phone.
Spigen Liquid Air Armor for when I want to use a case. It's thin and the button feedback is the best. Spigen has, in my opinion, the best buttons on any case out there. Always clicky, always easy to find. Most of time I don't use a case because I use the camo skin from Dbrand. I may try out the bumper case from Rhino Shield. I tried it twice with for my Note 9 but I sent it back because the buttons were just too difficult to register a click compared to Spigen cases. I hope maybe this time around with the 6T Rhino Shield has improved the buttons. But it's still under pre order for now. Shipping "around end of December".

Using the Tudia Merge in black. It is a little slippery, but I'm ok with it.
KuGi OnePlus 6T case
I just ordered the "KuGi OnePlus 6T case" from Amazon. We'll see how it goes. I was between this one and the Spigen. I have almost always bought Spigen cases for my previous phones but figured I would try something different for once.

For the ones looking for a good cheap wallet case. I definitely wanted one with hard inner shell. Most manufacturers use the soft TPU Silicon inner Shell but I think it makes the phone look bulky and it also makes reaching the screen edges harder and sometimes connecting USB sticks harder or impossible.
That's why I prefer the hard inner case, they fit much more elegantly and slick. Disadvantage is the hard inner Shell trends to get brittle and break over time, but with these prices I would rather order again than use the Silicon version cases. Price is unbeatable!
I searched everywhere and finally I found what I was looking for :

Looks like Spigen is finally going to give us 6T users the Tough Armor treatment. But I hope they release more color options. I never liked the grey. Either all black or something with bright color.

I'm sticking with the Spigen Tough Armor, same one I have on my 3A right now. Along with a 3 pack of Shieldbrainz screen protectors (I went through 3 of those for the 3A in the time I had it, got the 3a just after it dropped).
Edit: Just received the Spigen and compared the case to the 3A case I have. It's just a tad bit shorter in length and just a little thicker but everything else seems right on. The cutouts on the end are even about the same so this gives me some idea of the size difference (seems negligible).

So I have been on a bit of a shopping spree (oops). Thankfully Amazon US has free returns on cases. I currently have the:
DiMiK case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084S3ZY9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_jbZmFbDRNDBWQ
Caseology Vault: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083Q4SY5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5aZmFb8PPY0N6
Spigen Liquid Crystal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083N54J5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_OaZmFbVDVR3P1
And tomorrow I get the Cyrill Brick Case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083QQTQ3V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5.YmFb2PCB9HQ
Quick notes and observations.
1) All of the cases are the exact same size and thickness.
2) The DiMiK case is as cheap as you would expect. No real corner protection or grip and the form is not perfect.
3) The vault is great quality but notably heavier than the other cases. Outside of the extra weight, my main concern is grip from this case. The texture adds no real grip to the phone. Form is perfect.
4) Liquid crystal also has almost perfect build quality with one small imperfection on the inside of a corner. Very light weight with great protection. The grip on this case is fantastic (important to me). Unfortunately I think it will get noticeably scuffed and will eventually turn yellow.
Q: Are caseology and spigen made by the same company? The form, quality and packaging are almost identical. The difference is the color, weight and grip.
I wish I had a solid color liquid crystal case. That is why I am trying the brick case. No perfect solution yet.
Thought I would share with everyone.

I believe so. If you go to the Spigen website, at the top there are links to Caseology and Cyrill, as well as the Spigen Gearlock collection, and all the websites are styled and formatted identically.

I don't know how that case retails for 39.99 on Spigen's website, and only 14.99 on Amazon, but I ordered one just in case it's a momentary mis-pricing.
Spigen Tough Armor is the way to go. I've dropped my pixel 4a twice on concrete with no issues. I like the way it feels and it performs. Just wish it came in other colors.
There are not a lot of quality choices out there for the pixel 4a., but luckily this one is top drawer.

Got a Caseology Parallax for the wife. She wanted something to add some color to the black phone. Case fits really well and the case looks really nice (if you're into their colors), but it's kind of a bit slippery. I have a feeling it won't be her forever case, but it's a fine case and will probably be the one she uses until we discover her forever case. Buttons are plenty clicky and the phone is plenty protected without being insanely bulky (it's not insanely thin either - it's in the middle of the spectrum but towards the bukly end). She usually goes with a Speck Presidio Grip case, but wanted to try something new. If you don't need a grippy or minimal case, I'd recommend it.
It fits perfectly with an OMOTION or Orzero TGSP.
Got this from Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086X647CC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
2 cases for $8
Since I got my phones today and put these on- the fit well, corners are protected, covers the camera. Does everything a case should do
Did I mention it's $8 for 2 cases?
My biggest "look-for" is a case that will allow a phone ring holder to adhere to it securely. That rules out the Caseology Parallax unfortunately for me..
I got a spingen; Black thin; https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Thin-Designed-Google-Pixel/dp/B083N3YT4Z#ace-g7448806443
I got the same one as above^ and two more from the Spigen brand. I love the quality feel on them. Definitely recommend Spigen.
I purchased the Caseology Vault case. Fits fine. The lip around the edge of the screen sometimes makes the gestures a little more difficult but I think I've adapted now.

I would love to get the Tough Armor but that plastic stand seems iffy to me. I've seen reviews of the case and it looks a little flimsy and like it might break. If the back of the case was completely solid without it, it would be my go to no questions asked. For now I picked up a Caseology Parallax which is set to arrive on Monday (my phone was just delivered today) to see if I like it or if I want to switch over to the Spigen Rugged Armor.
