Just went to get a replacement for my Slim Armor case for which the kickstand finally died out on me. Noticed two decent sales going on right now.
1. They have a new webpage, and as such are doing a 25% off promo on the first purchase of any new account made on the new site.
2. Nexus 6 Case Slim Armor (Metal Slate Color) is on sale from $29.99 to $4.99
I had nothing else I wanted/needed from them at the moment so combined the offers and paid $3.74 for the case using the free shipping option.

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one myself.
No problem. Was just good timing that I stumbled across the deal.
Well, for Europe it's actually cheaper to buy them via Amazon (UK, FR, DE, ...), as shipping costs are very high.
Ah yeah, that sucks.
Got the neo hybrid for 11.99
I wouldn't take another Slim Armor for free. Them damn buttons.
Hah yeah I hate the buttons but love the low profile and kickstand. I can't even imagine how many times I've turned off screen trying to adjust volume.
Just did the slim armor and the ultra hybrid. Never owned a case or screen protector for any phone, but have had this thing active for about five hours now and I'm terrified to walk around with it. Something about the curved design does not play well with me.
If they silver case was $4.99 I would get one. Don't like the metal slate. Plus I already have the white one.
Nice find
Damn. Nice find. Just ordered the Neo Hybrid and the Slim Armor for $16.98. Thanks for sharing!
Ordered ultra hybrid and hope it won't be too heavy for me.
Slim armor came today. Not sure why all the negative reviews. I like the flat buttons more than the basic tpu cases (and I've owned a lot of basic tpu style cases).

Oh I wouldn't say the buttons are bad or anything. It's just after extended use I find lots of situations where I reach for the buttons without looking or in low light. When that happens the low profile of the buttons cause me to blindly start smashing in the area and hope I hit the right one. It wasn't something I noticed at first but slowly started to realize didn't work well with me. Even so this is one of my favorite cases that I have tested on the Nexus 6. I had the Neo Hybrid on the Nexus 5 and absolutely loved it, but decided due to the larger screen and increased media watching I do with it the kickstand would be a better fit for me over the raised buttons.
Truthfully this could be a rather quick fix. Thinking of using superglue or something to make a tiny dimple on the power button (think like the one on the F and J keys on your keyboard) so that I can orient my fingers to the correct spot.
The slim armor is a great case, It fits great in the hand, makes the dimple feel better, the kickstand is a bonus.
However,... its simply too thick.
It will not fit in any phone type pouches or wallets,
will not fit in any CD player car mounts.
adds a significant amount of weight.
if you dont use a car dock or Golla pouch then this should not be a problem.
the buttons are a non issue especially if you use double tap to wake/sleep.
Has anyone done anything to help differentiate the power button from the volume buttons? Perhaps some grip tape or something? I really like the Slim Armor case but the buttons are really sensitive and constantly turning off the phone trying to change the volume. I heard someone try to scrape away some of the plastic under the power button but curious anyone put any effort into fixing a $3.50 case?

im a fan of the original rocketfish tpu case for the evo, although i had to cut out for the button holes, etc.. it still served me well cheaply.
the ones for the lte look equally impressive, this time the button holes look cut out.
and come in pink/transparent smoke
anyone bought and got pics and fitting, remarks?
thanks
Case fits well and all holes are cut perfectly. Camera button works well. Power button not quite as good.

Case does fit well, but I would say the opposite about the buttons (which are all covered, btw), I find the power button to be perfect, but half pressing the camera is near impossible. I can't feel where that half step is, you know? And I find myself searching for the volume rocker a lot. Having said that, this thing is a joy to hold. I originally picked mine up at bb intending to return it when my Diztronic ones came in, but it really won me over. The cutouts are perfect, it's snug in all the right places, and it feels great in the hand. The Diztronic ones are pretty awesome also, but I didn't like how the cutouts felt. I decided to keep the rocketfish one on my evo and use the other ones as backups. + 1, would buy again.
interesting. i can see in the pic that the power button looks to be halfway covered.
wth?
Actually the power button is completely covered. The cut out part is the headphone jack and second mic.
I - love - this - case. I have never had any of my phones protected with any case protectors because they all sucked donkey balls. I usually just used skin protectors, because cases add bulk to an already bulky or sleek phone. The EVO LTE is a sleek slim phone that can easily slip in and out of pockets fast. The TPU case that Sprint sent everyone was slim and provided protection, but it was NOT easy to get into and out of pockets.
So, stumbled into Best Buy to get a Zagg HD screen protector and asked where the EVO LTE accessories were at. I see this and tried it on for size and was really pleased. I don't regret the decision and have actually saved my ass when the phone was dropped the same day. I love it because of 3 important factors:
1) Does not add any noticeable girth. It doesn't add any huge lip to the front, just enough to keep the screen off the surface when the screen is placed downward. The back adds no thickness because it is flushed to camera lens "bump".
2) Slick case makes it easy to get it into my pocket, and very easy to get it out fast. It doesn't have that "sticky" feeling. It might be a bad or good thing. If I have it in my hands, I want it sticky. Otherwise, I think it was a good trade-off.
3) Buttons are covered. I know some people don't like the buttons covered, but when I usually drop my phones, the buttons are the ones to get scuffed first. I wanted my phone protected from those scuff marks and any accidental water that might get near it. I like it protected as much as possible. The buttons are still easy to press, but I kinda get confused where to press, unless I feel for the grooves really well or look at where I'm pressing. I think RocketFish could improve here. They need to make the covered buttons provide more tactile feedback or maybe an option to have the buttons color coded, or even add some stickers in the package so we the user could add different colored stickers if we wanted them. In fact, I'm patenting the idea of including different color stickers (of varying sizes for different buttons or locations) to phone protectors so people can decide IF, WHERE, and what COLORS they want on their protector. Heck, maybe even some logo stickers if you want.
That's my 2 cent review.
I bought the case as well. Adds no bulk and protects it well. Highly recommend
Sent from my EVO using XDA
Bought this case and it fits perfectly. Like others have said it adds little to no bulk to the device. The buttons are covered but I have not problem pressing them. I highly recommend this case for those who don't like those bulky cases such as the otterbox.
Wow so that's what a $25 TPU case looks like.

It's a $25 Soft Gel case that you can get today at your local Best Buy without having to wait. You get what you paid for. Yeah, I would have preferred it cheaper, but I got instant gratification.
Good investment for this case. I dropped it on the pavement getting out of my car on 6/9, made very little noise when hitting the ground. I picked it up and after close inspection I found only a very small nick on the case in the corner. Much better than scratching the aluminum.
Very happy with it, but like stated earlier, I would like to feel the half press of the shutter a little more.

There seems to be some confusion between the terms "TPU case" and "soft gel case". A gel case is squishy and sticky in your pocket, and will pull your pocket inside out when you try to get it. A TPU case is harder, stiff but flexible plastic that is more neutral feeling in terms of grip. They're not interchangeable terms. Diztronics makes an excellent TPU case for under $10.

TPU is definitely not gel.. If you're happy with a 25$ tpu because you didn't wanna wait 3ish days, thats great! I personally feel you get better quality, design and prices when you order it.

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.
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.

Two others you might want to consider are the uag maverick and the poetic affinity. They both have threads here so search and read about them. I have the uag and like it but the back is a little ugly imo. I will be getting the poetic tomorrow, and yes, I have a problem with buying cases. I want to keep my Max incase I want to go back to it but I have a clear fusion I could send you for the price of shipping if you'd like. Send me a pm or email if you're interested.

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.
