Hey there,
I use my nexus 9 tablet nearly every day for over a month now, but I only transport it in my sleeve.
Although I took grate care, I found this today:
The softtouch coating on the back is peeling on the corner, also a little bit on the Micro USB port.
Really HTC?
I will exchange it as soon as there is a dbrand skin for the nexus 9, so I can protect the new exchange device doing that.
Did anybody of you also experience this? Look at the charger port exactly.
See for yourself how bad it is on mine:
Nobody else has experienced this?
Do not know what you are talking about but I think it came with a plastic film, these I pull of when I receive my devices.
No, this is the soft touch, which actually is only a coating, as I discovered this way. Under this coating there is just plain plastic without matte touch.

Done.
I had two corners and USB port peel on mine. I returned it to amazon for replacement.

I bought a case to go along with the new replacement to hopefully prevent it from happening again.

Thanks for your answer, I will wait with the exchange until dbrand releases it's nexus 9 skin, because I hate cases, the make the tablet bulky.

Should not happen nevertheless, seems they didn't stick the softtouch coating good enough.
I will exchange it in January, when the dbrand skin is hopefully finished and hope, that the new tablet is better.
For 480€ (~590$) I expect a near-perfect finish.

Just an FYI if anyone interested. I usually go with the official Sammy case but decided to try this one this time. Should have mine in a few days.

Be glad you avoided the Sammy case, nothing but issues with the magnets turning the note off when the cover is folded back over.

ordered today, paid $3.99 for 1 day shipping to get it tomorrow. premier member here.
thanks!
Just received mine a few mins ago. Definitely like this alot more than the official Sammy cover. Not too heavy or thick and the magnetic auto on/off works without issue. I was concerned that the size of the tablet may not work well with the folded positions in landscape or portrait, but i am happy to report they are very stable in either position. I will have pix up shortly. At half the price of the official Sammy case it is worth every half penny...
Update-wanted to add i have no issue with the magnets when the cover is folded back..does not turn off or on..

OK got ya... yep i can see that happening with this case. i will test it this evening and report back.
Edit- after checking you really need to purposely squeeze it for it to work. I also this with a screen protector around the button it will even less likely hit it. The mime glass one i have on order should be enough.
Here is a pretty cool slim case option. http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...over-baseus-galaxy-note-pro-12-2-smart-cover/
I have the blue one at home now, unfortunately the mailman came late today. So will not be able to test it out much till 2 am!
The case has a nice rubber felling to it, i thought it would be more of a leather feel. This rubber feeling, i like more than the leather. All ports are easily accessed adn the secondary mic is open as well. It feels sturdy in each standing position, does not feel like it will fall to easily. did not expect the sides to be so open though. I baby my tablet, so not an issue for me. Over all, very happy with this case and would buy more from them

i bought the slimline and will receive it tomorrow.

Please let us know how you compare the Poetic to the RooCase. About to buy a Note Pro and want something very slender but quality feeling.
What do you mean when you said the flap keeps opening because of the ridges?

I don't know if you guys know about RhinoShield, they make great screen protectors.
They started a new kickstarter campaign for an awesome case, problem is, it is currently only for the iphone community. I spoke with them and they said, if enough people want it for the nexus 6, they will look into making for the nexus 6.
Here is a link to their campaign so you guys can check them out:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1081571316/rhinosheild-crash-guard-slim-impact-bumper-for-iph
Pre-order page can be found here:
RhinoShield Crash Guard
If enough people like this case/ willing to try it, I will send them a message letting them know we want this case!
That looks great. I usually love having bumpers on my phone. I would get that if it was available for the Nexus 6.
I would definitely buy one
Sent from my LG-LS980 using XDA Free mobile app
I'd buy 2 if they can ship in the next month
Definitely in if they make one for N6.
count me down for one also
Sounds like a great product. Hopefully they make a case for the nexus 6
Won't be buying it, as i really don't like the design. Sure, if you drop your phone from up high, and it lands on a flat surface, like on their video, it will surely work.
Now picture a drop on something protruding, that'd hit the back of the phone: what'll there be to dampen the shock? Not the bumper, as it's only on the sides. So the shock will be transmitted to the insides of the phone, where something will possibly break.
And the optional transparent backcover won't change anything to that: it works with screens, because it rigidifies them, preventing the vibration caused by the shock, which is what actually makes glass shatter. Such a thing doesn't prevent energy from being transmitted: it actually helps energy transmission, and just alleviates the consequences on something as fragile as glass. On the back, the best it'd prevent is mere scratches.
Last thing: I have troubles with taking seriously any promise of protection when the very obvious dust covers (which I happen to need) happen to lack...
So, really: no, not interested at all.
I'm interested. All I ever want is a good bumper. Although only if it was released on a timely manner. I'm not interested if it took 6 months.
THEY HAVE A PRE-ORDER PAGE UP! If enough people pre-order, they'll start making them.

I think I'm gonna give it a shot based on the look of the one they made for the iPhone.
I'd like to see it first as well. Wonder if it's only going to be the bumper or have a plastic back too since the phone has a curve to it.
Also, kind of sucks it's more then the iPhone ones on the Kickstart page. There you can pledge the £12 ($19.19) and get one. Be cool if they offered the combo pack, bumper and screen protector, like they do on the Kickstart page.
What I would be worried about is the curved back of the Nexus 6. How would a bumper protect the back if it is stick out beyond the bumper?

They say they will post the rendering/design around November 14th
you should check out their screen protector (watch their video www.evolutivelabs.com), I have it on my Nexus 5 tough as nail! I think using a bundle+bumper should be good enough.

My same thoughts, I had their screen protectors on my nexus 4 when I had it. Dropped the phone from top bunk without a case(about 7ft), it landed flat and had no damage. The screen protector had some scratches and dents from stuff on the ground but peeled it off and screen was like new.
Render update?
Anyone have any additional news on this?
I was hoping to see a render of the product this week.
Has anyone ordered one yet?
I saw this on their site but im a little apprehensive as i've had terrible luck with otterbox products in the past.

Just them using a generic stock image for now. I'm sure it will change once the final design of the screen protector is finished.
Jesus $34.95 for a screen protector? Hopefully it comes with a midget to apply it for me perfectly, I would just mess up the application like I always do with screen protectors.
I'm flexible on the included midget, I'll also accept an attractive woman to apply it perfectly.
Sent back Otterbox Alpha glass
I bought the Otterbox Alpha Glass for Nexus 6 from Amazon for, like, $1000 (okay, it was closer to $37). I didn't like it because it didn't seem to stick on either short edge and parts of the long ends of the phone. I figured it was just me. I asked to have it exchanged. Then I watched someone on Youtube install his, and he ran into the exact same problem. So I think I will just get a refund and then... I don't know. I've already tried the expensive plastic one from Zagg with no luck.

Unless you want to glue the phone into the case, there is no alternative.
Its also kind of pointless, since the purpose of a case is to protect the glass. If the case doesn't come up over the edge of the glass, it won't do its job.

It can come up on the top and bottom or the edges. Sometimes people should just be silent if they can't contribute something useful.
I'm also searching for something like this.
ringke slim
Had that one but got a unit where it stood away from the phone in the button area which wasn't acceptable and the seller wasn't that reliable. Unfortunately there is no other at the moment in my country.
Had a case like this for my N5, loved it. Super minimalistic. Was hoping for a similar case for the N6 but haven't seen any pop up yet.

Ringke slim is probably the best,though. it's about as close to what you describe as you can get. I have one for more work iPhone, too. Can't you get one shipped via ebay or something?

No there's only this seller which I won't order from again. I now ordered another slim case from some unknown manufacturer and will try that.
I ordered several cases on amazon. The best in my opinion was the sup beetle case. Keeps a low profile, its well made and its cheap to buy. Just my two cents.

It just shouldn't on the sides of the phone! I don't care what it's like on top or bottom or the edges of the phone. That was also the question of the OP.
I'm using the Spigen Thin Fit, which might be close to what you are looking for. I like it with Swipe Navigation since there's nothing touching the bottom of the screen, making it easy to swipe up.
I ordered 2 devices, one with dual screen, one without (I think the white is gorgeous and no white dual screen, so didn't bother). However, the dual screen one will be more for home use. So when the phones are "out and about" what case options are there? I have googled, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, but really only found clear rubber, which I already know from experience will discolor over time. How long til we get viable options for cases with such a new phone? I for sure need cases since these glass phones like to get up off surfaces. What's everyone else looking at?

That is true. I'll keep that one in mind. Ebay is full of ones from China. Um not in this climate right now lol. But before I can even start using the phones, I gotta have some sort of protection lol
So I ordered this case so I would have something to put on it until my dual screen case arrives. It was the only one that could be here this weekend. The screen protectors I ordered are a month out on Amazon. On ATT you get the phone, then register on LG site to get the dual screen case, 3-6 weeks delivery, sadness.

Think when this country gets back to normal I'll order that, I just need protection before I start using it. That thing is heavy! Coming from a G8, it's quite a bit heavier, and larger than I'm used to ATM lol not risking it. Have had in my possession 2 days and haven't even turned it on. Lol

Nice! I wrote IQ Shield to see if/when they have plans to release protectors for this device. "at this time we don't know if we'll release protection for this device" well boo on you IQ Shield. I've had them on every device since they went full curved screens (back to what, the V20? Altho that curve wasn't as severe as these latest devices, still a flat protector refused to stick) and actually dropped my G8 down a set of three concrete steps. Protector took every ding, and screen still flawless. Slap another one on and done. Glass protector would have shattered first step and screen on second and third lol

I thought about waiting for the case, but just couldn't do it. I have never used a phone without a case, so it does feel kind of wierd, but I'll manage till Sunday, then the longer wait starts on the dual screen case. Why couldn't ATT bundle it with the phone like T-Mob? Ugh
I used to house my LG phones in cases made by TetDed. They are really just thin, molded shells covered with soft and grippy dead cow skin (real leather). Sadly, they didn't make a case for the G8 (either of them). I have emailed trying to convince them to make some for the V60.

I used to use encased hard shells on my phone, slide in and clip to hold together. Then when I got the G8, they didn't make one for it, and this V60 is so new that there aren't alot of options yet. Not even an Otterbox defender!
