Hi Nexus 6 Users,
We are seeking honest and comprehensive feedback from real Nexus 6 users of our cases for the Nexus 6. We are turning to XDA because members of XDA are more knowledgeable than the average user, and we know from reading your posts that you know how to scrutinize products and share your opinions.
For those interested in helping us out, we will provide a product sample of one of our Nexus 6 cases. There are only a limited number of samples that have been allotted to this program. If you are interested, please post a reply and send me a PM. Participants will be selected on a first come, first serve basis, dependent on meeting requirements mentioned below and once supplies run out, this offer will be closed.
If you are selected, you will be sent a case for your evaluation. This is not a give-away or promotion. We need people who are willing to follow through. We would like to get your initial feedback (first impressions) within 2 weeks of receipt and a follow up evaluation 4 to 8 weeks later would be greatly appreciated. If you are not willing to take the time to give us a thorough evaluation, please do not apply.
We are seeking members that meet the following requirements:
• Are actual owners of the Nexus 6
• Reside in the continental U.S.
• Have at least 50 posts
• Have at least 5 thanks
• Have been a member for at least 1 year
Please let us know which style and color (when applicable) you prefer. (We cannot guarantee that your sample will be the specific model or color you request, but we will do our best to match your preference.)

Ahh to bad I am in Canada. I need a new screen cover and the VersaTough looks nice and has a screen cover.
Oh well, blame Canada.
Glacier looks great. Full armor protection definitely will save our nexus on drops.

Anyone see any silicone skins yet in the wild? I've exhausted my search and have yet to find one.
I would be excited to have this also. Just something to slide over it to protect it from scratches on the back and to protect the sides so I don't have to be so gentle with it when putting it down, lol. Being able to dock it while in the skin is a must though, but it shouldn't be too hard considering there is plenty of space on the bottom sides to wrap the skin around so it can still snap into the keyboard dock hinge.
i cannot believe there is no silicone gel case till now. There is also not many people asking about it. It seems like there is not much profit margin in selling gel cases.
Imm waiting for one of these as well... no luck so far.

I also really need one of these silicone skins...
I emailed this company asking if they would make a case I'm sure they take the requests if the demand is high enough. You should email them asking to make a Silicone Skin.

They make awesome Iphone skins. And skins for other tablets. (Some of their iphone skins are very impressive my brother in law has one)

hey all,
I saw a guy in a coffee shop the other day with an incipio case for his ipad. I was very impressed with the features and build quality offered for the price. I have sent them an email including the engadget article about the tf outselling its competitors to provide a little encouragement. Take a look at there site and if you like what you see do the same. Below is that link and the one to their site.

AND... their folio cases use clips instead of the bezel covering method that most are using now.
that indeed looks great. please post if you hear bac from them, I'm interested
I agree that looks a nice solution and I could see myself using one of the kickstand cases if they go ahead and make one for the Transformer.

i love incipio's cases, and have had them on pretty much every gadget that i owned that they made a case for...i'll def be emailing them to see if they can make something for the TF.

It really pisses me off. I NEED a gel case.

nice! i wonder which case(s) they are planning to make
yep got the same reply signed up for notification
I have their two-piece gel/plastic cover on my iPhone and love it. Hope they come up with a similar product for the TF.
i adore their feather cases, and if they made one, i have a feeling it would work with the keyboard dock, which would be double awesome
It has been a month... Has anyone on their notification list received any news? I still don't see anything on their website and wanted to wait to see their options before selecting a case. If this is much longer, though, I think I will be looking at Tuff Luv.
Still no news on their website. They have cases for some other tablets though which seems to be a good sign.
this is getting annoying!!! apparently these morons who make cases don't do that much research....if they did...they would know that asus is one of the better selling tablets right now....but they make ones for blackberry playbook and not the tf101.
They made for Galaxy Tab, Xoom and Playbook.
That email on last page said they are making one for Transformer though. Don't give up hope

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry. We currently do have plans on releasing Kickstand Cases for the Asus Transformer. These are still in production and unfortunately have yet to be released. If you wish to be placed on our notification list for these cases, please reply directly to this email indicating your interest. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions or concerns.
Hello,
Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately we do not have plans to release our SILICRYLIC case at this time. We will gladly pass your interest in this item to our Product Development team to view. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions or concerns.
So basically they are making kickstand cases.... which are exactly like the ones being produced already. Not the silicrylic for sure.... asking them about the feather, or ngp or even the hive. What a waste if its just the kickstand case
edit: now they are saying its the silicrylic and not the kickstand case...email as follows
edit: asked them what line of cases are being made... they retracted the statement and said its the silicrylic now.
Hello,
Thank you for your email. Currently the case that is in production is the SILICRYLIC case. I will be happy to pass along your inquiry to our product development team. Please feel free to contact us with any further questions or concerns.
Hey everyone,
Do you remember the amazing snap-case (attached picture) Spigen made for the Galaxy S series, iPhone and Note 2? They have only released a version for the Galaxy S4 and according to my email exchanges with them, they have no plans to release it for the Note 3.
Basically, I wanted to create a poll and petition as did others for the SPIGEN SVA. If it worked for the SVA, it can certainly work for the Snap-Case!
For those who don't know, the SNAP-CASE was amazing, full-grain 100% leather, in white or black (with a red stripe). It had a compartment for ID cards and credit cards, and came with a free slim Ultra Fit case that you could place right on the wallet, so you could 'snap' it out as need be. It was simply brilliant, and made the Note 2 shine. It wasn't for everyone as it added bulk, but was it ever so elegant and professional.
Now I need your help! Even if you don't think the case is nice, why not sign the petition? It'll help fellow XDA members who, like me, adored the Note 2 snapcase, and want to see it back for the Note 3!
The help from you all to spread the petition is greatly appreciated in advance!

Can you link your post to a reply of this message? Maybe we can fuel the conversation. I was hoping we could garner more attention to the poll, but so far not many people participated. I still have troubling understanding why the snapcase was discontinued for the note series, I know it was one of their best selling case for the Note 2! What else doesn't make sense is that it was continued for the S4, and I would imagine for the S5, subsequently.
For professionals, it was the ultimate tool, and such an eye-catcher. During meetings, clients would always inquire about it, wherever in the world I would meet them. Lets hope this thread picks up and more people participate!
Thanks for your comment brother!
Doesn't look like this is getting any interest I did find this case though think I will just have to settle for this http://www.incipio.com/cases/samsun...samsung-galaxy-note-3-watson-wallet-case.html

I emailed Carved to see if they'd be producing cases for the Nexus 6 since they currently make cases for the N5 and this is what I got back:
"We are continuing to add new products to the Nexus line. Please keep checking our site for updates!"
That sounds like a yes to me! Not sure how many people like/use these cases but their N5 cases look great in person. I got a buddy with a cedar case for his N5 and it's great looking plus feels good in the hand. They're wooden backed with a snap on hard plastic rubber edge and you can choose from a variety of design/wood types. They're not the most durable cases but if you're into cases that are borderline art, these are for you. I can't post links yet, this is actually my first post, but if you visit carved.com and click 'shop' you'll see a link to their current N5 case selection.
Sweet cases! How bulky are they? Is hard to tell from the pictures on their site.

They're pretty low profile. I didn't have another N5 case to compare it to but the carved case didn't add a lot of extra bulk.
I have never heard of these cases before, but now I must have one. I really hope they add the Nexus 6 to their line.
Oh very nice! I'll get bamboo on my N6 after all. and they take bitcoin!!
That huge phone with a real wood back, or one of those puzzles... Sweet. I'm glad I swung in here today and found out about Carved.

Of a particularly relevant note here--they apparently do base what phones they offer cases for based on user demand, so it's actually kind of important to leave them a comment at http://www.carved.com/contact-us explaining why it would be a Good Idea to make a case for the Nexus 6. (One thing I did note to them is that--with a difference in scale, of course--the same template would be usable on the Moto X 2nd Gen AND the new Droid Turbo as pretty much all the Motorola phones are on the same rough body build. It does help in my case that I've built tooled leather cases for non-phone stuff, so I do kind of know what is involved in making a good case design. )

and a facebook post also on the facebook fan page! I want an Ironside full wood case..that would be so awesome! love their work! their art! the skateboard one and the live ones also look cool...the ebony ones too..the full ones..i don't want no inlay one...i want that full wood look!! ha...yeah...love the art!
I've never been one to use cases on my phones but these are really nice. I've been intrigued about these wood finishes since I've seen the bamboo back option for the Moto X. Might have to pick one of these up. I'll shoot them an email to help them gauge demand.
looks like it may not be happening right away...

I bought 2 solid wood cases for me and my wifes Note 3's and both cases broke within 2 weeks really bummed me out because that case always got people's attention. It was not from carved.com so i don't know if there solid wood offering would be more durable.
Man I hope they come out with some soon.
So I submitted a request through Carved's website. My submission is in bold. Their response is in italics.
First, why are you contacting us?: Are you going to make a case for...
What device do you want us to make a case for?: Nexus 6
In your most convincing voice, tell us why we should make a case for your device??: This device is awesome and is very popular! So popular in fact, that it's been pretty much sold out since its release! It's being sold on all four major carriers and I would love to see one of your beautiful cases surrounding my device. If you make it, I will buy a lot.
Hi Robert,

The case they use for the nexus 5 appears to be a ringke slim.
Such a shame that Carved still haven't brought out a case for the N6. Has anyone found a good alternative elsewhere?

I wanted to let you know that Carved.com asked me to beta test a Nexus 6 case on the 25th, it should be here in the next day or two, not sure what the rules are about testing it so I will confirm if I can post pics and comment on it. But I wanted to share that it is making progress.
I know a few people on here been trying to get answers about a bumper case since the Rhino Shield one fell through. I emailed and posted questions on Case Mate's Facebook page weeks ago and never heard back, so recently decided I would asked the same question over and over again every time they post something to Facebook and I'd post to their page everyday and email them everyday till I got an answer. Finally heard back this morning. Now the answer I got sounds like they will be making a Hula Case for the N6. The sentence that answers my question is kind of worded like someone with broken English wrote it. Here's the email I got:
Thank you for your interest in Case-Mate products. We are very excited to have cases available for the Hula Case for the Nexus 6. We know you are excited to get a case for your new device!
We will be updating our case selection daily as new inventory arrives. We do not have specific information on when the case or color you are looking for will be available. If we did, we would be the
first to share! Please make sure to click on the "notify when available" button on the product page so we can let you know when we have what you are looking for.

I'm guessing that someone didn't get the memo... Its nothing new to see conflicting CS experiences when inquiring about a product. I wonder which one will become a reality.

Maybe we should wait a week or two and ask them again. The Hula is the only bumper that I have seen recently that looks good unless another company wants to take up the challenge.
