My job entails me crawling around under houses in the dirt, so I'm looking for a case that will help protect the N6 from dirt and cover the screen so it hopefully doesn't get cracked. Does the Unicorn Beetle Pro sound like the case for me?
Yeah, the built-in protector will help a bit when it comes to dirt getting to the phone, and the shell protection is good for being single-layer. Plus, it has built-in covers for the ports.
I did find that dirt can still get in in the seam between its built-in cover and the shell frame, but it didn't reach the phone easily due to the inner glue line.
I'd offer my barely used Beetle Pro case, but I removed the built-in protector when deciding to use a different screen cover - then, I went with dual-layer cases for even more shock safety.

I purchased the Beetle Pro along with a intelliARMOR PRO edge to edge glass screen protector. Is the Beetle Pro the only case with a holster or something that actually covers the screen? Used to like the OtterBox, but they don't hold up well and don't think they ever made a N6 case.

I work in maintenance and am always dirty, greasy, crawling around and under equiptment. I use my phone a lot for manuals, pics, emails and such. I had the above case for about a week. I scratched the screen protector pretty quickly and noticed grit getting under the case pretty easy. I know it's not the greatest build quality, but quickly decided that 2 piece cases blow. I've bought a used tablet that had an otter box case and the back of the tablet has scratches all other the back from being on it.
Anyway I've learned that in my line of work, that a simple jelly type case and no screen protector seem to do best. The case is good for the occasional drop and no grit to get trapped between the screen and protector. I'm just very aware to keep it in my front pocket and nothing else goes in that pocket. I do remove the case occasionally to clean the phone and case if any grit gets build up, but it is usually little too none. If i do get grit in my pockect from dirt, welding, dust, etc. I just clean out my pocket best i can and the phone goes back in. No issues or scratches so far after a couple of months.
Not sure about tempered screen protectors, but IMHO anything that I can't remove easily to clean under is just asking for trouble with scratches. My two cents anyway.

I've been searching for a while, and have come across dozens of threads complaining about the Defender's screen protector (and I agree..they suck, lol), or whether this protector or that protector will work with the Otterbox...but nothing yet of the durability of the tempered glass screen protectors in place of the entire Otterbox case altogether.
I had gone years and years without running any cases at all without an issue, and only started running basic plastic screen protectors on my last few phones. I'd swap out the protectors every month or so when they got scratched up, and I was perfectly happy with that setup.
Then I got a S4 Active last year...put my plastic protector on it, and broke the screen within the first week. Got it warranteed out due to water intrusion, and broke the screen on the replacement phone within about 12 hours. I got nervous going forward, and immediately put an Otterbox Defender on my Note 3 when I got it a couple months ago (like literally, took it out of the Samsung box, and straight into an Otterbox, lol). I had read about dust intrusion issues with the Otterbox, and thus left the factory "protector" on the screen...and glad I did, because this thing has sucked in all kinds of dust and crap into it. Seems like I'm pulling it apart every couple of weeks to clean it out, and now (not surprisingly), the rubber outer is a loose fit.
The other problem now is that I've wanted to get the Samsung home dock, which won't work with the Otterbox installed (and from what I'm gathering, virtually every other case is going to be an issue). I tried adding the wireless phone back...nope, doesn't fit with the Otterbox. Decent car dock other than the "fits absolutely everything!!!" $20 garbage universal car mounts? Nope...doesn't go wide enough for the Otterbox. Tried adding one of the 5-in-1 adapters to get HDMI out and USB host...nope, doesn't fit with the Otterbox installed...and taking the phone out multiple times means the rubber outside fits less and less every time....
In my case, I couldn't care less if the sides/back of the phone gets dinged up/scratched, as it's a work phone that gets turned in when we upgrade so resale value means absolutely nothing to me. Keeping dust out obviously isn't something the Defender is good at. So it's basically just a very oversized screen protector to me now.
So...as far as breakage protection goes, how does the tempered glass protectors compare to something like the Defender case, or other similar bulky plastic cases go? I'm really thinking about just dumping the Otterbox altogether, putting on a tempered glass protector, and calling it good. If it means anything, I don't consider price to be an issue. I'll gladly dump $100 into a protector if it saves my phone from a drop.

Ok so first off...
If your interested in wireless charging, you can indeed get wireless charging without buying a new backplate. Myself and several others here on XDA use this one.
It installs on top of your battery UNDER your current backplate.
Tempered screen protectors are awesome. They will protect your screen against smashing, falls, chips, etc... They will not protect your bezel, backplate, corners, etc.
My suggestion to you is this.
Get this tempered glass screen protector, and it's no where near $100.00
Get this ultra slim case also
Or get this Bumper instead of a case
The Spigen case is one of the thinest, best looking slim cases I have ever seen. Another one would be the Note 3 Neo Hybrid, search on Amazon for it. What I'm getting at is that you should have SOME protection at very least from small or moderate drops. These cases will minimize the damage, or completely save your phone while not adding any size or bulk to it. I have that tempered glass screen protector. It's very well made and is like a rock.
*Keep in mind you will need a Qi Wireless charger pad if you purchase that wireless receiver for your Note 3. They are all over Amazon and are very inexpensive. All these accessories I have mentioned will work with wireless charging quite fine. Here is the one for my Note 3.
.
Hope this helps, good luck
Cool, thanks!
Ordered that glass screen protector yesterday, and was looking at some of the wireless charging options. I had tried a couple of those add in coils with my S4 Active, but didn't like that they all bulged the back cover causing it to unsnap...I figured the Samsung charging back was actually the perfect solution. It's really not a big deal now, as my original intention was to go wireless to get around the problems with the Otterbox case. Though I may still go back down that road, as I'm seeing a few car mounts being released with wireless charging built in now.
Am gonna order this case from amazon as soon as I get it I will post review
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H9Y5PYG/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2CKSBAXB5C1MY
I have a Spigen Tempered Glass protector, and numerous types of cases for protection.
I stupidly one day wasn't using a case, and my phone fell out of my shorts pocket and hit the ground. Hard. Screen down. I was very scared. I flipped it over, and the screen was fine, but the edge of the lower part of the phone, the chrome plastic surround was dented and a small corner of the protector cracked a tiny bit.
The protector definitely saved the screen but my phone is now dented. It has not been without a case since.
If you don't want something big but still want great bumper and shock protection try diztronic TPU cases. You can remove the phone all the time, it doesn't stretch out, and it looks great. If you want a slightly bigger case, UAG make great one price durable cases similar to Otterbox but they don't stretch. Spigen also has a great Slim Armor case if you want something larger, but not bulky.
Also, get a Tempered Glass protector. Obviously.

Saw another post with link to it, but here's a review of the case. It's not super bulky. But add enough protection for most
Leave questions and comments
Just got one of these. My question is to pop the included screen protector off and just go with the one that came with the Nexus or peel that one off and go with the Supcase protector. I've read reviews of people suggesting both.
This is a durable feeling and looking case. I've always had UAG cases in the past but this one seemed to offer a little more protection.

I find a tempered glass screen protector under the plastic built-in one to be the best. It sits really flush this way and you can't see the halo in the glass screen protector because of the case.

If you do this, make sure you after you pop the built in screen protector off you scrape off the black adhesive that held it on or it will fuse to your screen protector and rip it off if you take off your case. Any small metal tool can be used but be careful not to scratch the case. After its removed you can use some qtips and a little bit of rubbing alcohol to clean any residual adhesive.
I didn't do this originally and my case was stuck to my screen protector for 2 months till I finally decided to try and force it off and it ruined my screen protector.
I'm going to keep my supplied screen protector on along with the case screen protector.

Good luck, sensitivity sucks!
No problems with sensitivity so far. I like the case. Little bulky but the phone feels safe.

The edges of the screen sometimes take a few tries to respond!
I have this case. Its fantastic for work. Its awfully bulky though! But, with that bulk you get great protection.
Its great if you need the protection. I typically remove the phone from the case when I'm home.

This is what I described doing in a different topic - used an X-Acto knife and it took about 10 minutes to get all the plastic protector's adhesive off, which I felt might stick or lift up the lip of their case on the actual screen protector I'm using.
However, I also found that the Supcase didn't sit perfectly flush on the Nexus 6 with my own screen protector after removing their plastic one - one longer side has a gap between the frame and my protected phone surface.
So, I am keeping this case as a backup, only.
- ooofest
Just got this case from EBay .I must say Dam good quality cases an holster love it..actually kind of like its design an fit better then Otterbox...feels more solid..
Had the case for a while its pretty good. Not a daily case for me as I switch when doing different jobs. It's actually kind of hard to get off that's a good thing for some people.
I've just had to return mine after using it for a few days. When taking pictures with the rear camera flash on, the flash and case don't work well together and the pictures are spoilt (first pic is with case, second without. You can see the tint that having the white case on causes). Disappointing as I have already had the screen break on me (first time ever!) and was happy of the extra protection that this case affords
For the most part I go naked with my N6. I am ordering one of these cases for when I go golfing and maybe some other activities where I want to have the best protection. I am keeping the supplied protector cause it will keep dust and water from getting on my phone. Which is, by the way, the reason I am going with this brand because most of the other "tough" cases don't have that.
How does this case fit around the speakers? Is it open letting dust in under the screen protector or are the speakers sealed?
They are open, dust can accumulate
I've been using mine for months now with no problems. only complaint is the camera port is long. Dust an small debris gets under screen protector, its slightly bulky but worth the protection. Both factory screen protector an case built-in on an notice a little touch sensitivity loss, but worth the protection! Add the fact that the N6 is water resistant an its damn near perfect!
I got this case yesterday and after two days am happy with it so far. It is a clear hard plastic case with TPU material on the front lip, corners, around all opening, and parts of the back. This is different than anything I have tried before, but it is a very nice case. Top quality manufactured and nice looking. It is stiff, but very easy to put the phone in. It takes a small amount of force to remove it, so the phone will not pop out easily if dropped. I'm using a Spigen Curved Crystal HD screen protector on the phone, there is no issues with this case and the protector. There is a bit of texture on the sides so it makes the case easy to hold onto without fear of it slipping out of your hands. This case is a great size, not a think and bulky one.
The only small thing I can say may be a negative is the clear hard plastic does show a few oily finger smudges, but wipes off very easily.
I highly recommend this case.
When I first got my S8+, I was worried the back glass would scratch easy (turns out I was right ), so I wanted to protect it, even though I knew I would have a case on it. I've seen dirt get between phones and cases before and cause horrible scratches.
I first tried a clear wet application skin from BSE, but I could never make it look right. The midnight black shoes every imperfection and bubble, whereas my wife's Orchid Grey looks perfect with the skin on. You can't tell it's there, even on the sides.
So I began thinking it would be nice if someone made a tempered glass protector for the back. The sides are curved, but so is the screen, and there's plenty of TGSPs on the market. But I couldn't find any.
Then last week I saw one on Amazon. It comes with a full screen TGSP, a TGP for the back, and a TGP for the camera. Link is below.
It appears the back protector is like other TGSPs. It has no glue on the middle, just along the edges. That's not a big deal, as I would apply it like I did my TGSP. I would remove the adhesive strip on the edge and use LOCA to adhere it fully to the phone. Most camera lens TGPs get horrible reviews on Amazon, so it would likely go in the trash.
I'm trying to decide what to do. Here are my pros and cons, but I wanted everyone else's opinion, and also want to know if anyone else has any experience with this set. Again, I'm currently using a TGSP for the screen, so this is a question about the TGP for the BACK.
Pros:
*Protection for the back cover as well as the front.
*Protects from scratches and adds some drop protection
*Protectors are both glass, so it would still feel like a naked device.
*Back protector is Crystal clear, and with LOCA, would show off the beautiful black back glass without any bubbles, glare, etc.
*Glass doesn't get marks and dents like wet application protectors.
Cons:
*It would (probably) be too thick to use a case, so increased chance of damage if dropped.
*These TGSPs typically use cheap oleophobic coatings, so it would still be a fingerprint magnet on the back.
*This would leave a ridge around the screen and the back protector, so it MAY make it uncomfortable to hold.
*No protection for the side frame
*It will scratch (but can always be replaced
*I wish the cutouts were more precise. I'd like three separate cutouts for camera and sensors, not one big one. Would make it more seemless.
Again, looking for other thoughts and opinions and any experience.
No offense, but if all you have to say is that you go naked and have no scratches, or that you don't like screen protectors, then please don't reply. I'm not interested in a screen protector debate. I'm only interested in your opinions about this particular set and using a protector on the back. Also, I know about the liquid nano stuff and have no interest in it. I've seen all the reviews.
Thanks!

I was thinking about the same thing, this post is very helpful.
Mr Orange, I am thinking on the same lines as you were. Did you end up buying the JimBird TGSP? If so, what are your opinions of it and how well did it work for you? It seems like something simple to offer, but so hard to find. Thanks!
Supcase makes a great full protection case called Unicorn Beetle Pro. Some of you are surely familiar with it. For those not, give it a look. It offers the most protection for our phones, at a reasonable price. You can search "UB Pro OnePlus 6t" to find vendors.
Have one? Lemme know your thoughts ...

I love it. It's easy to assemble and disassemble. It's looking great! It's not heavy at all! Drop it and it still not crack.
Is it waterproof?

I took the built in screen protector when I bought one for my iPhone x. Had a glass screen protector on the phone and it felt so much better. Not hard to take off just take your time going around.
FYI: The case looks like it is the exact same as Poetic Guardian, but Poetic's is cheaper.
Cant speak for poetic. But ive used unicorn beetles for years. Always top notch. Ide pay a few more bux unless i saw an awesome review on the poetic.

Used poetic cases on essential and pix 2xl and they were about the same quality as a Spigen of the same build type.
I ordered the Poetic with the clear back while waiting for UB Pro to release. It is similar except they cut a notch where the camera is which means dust ends up behind the screen protector on the poetic also it feels looser the screen protector has some play and the back clear portion fills with pocket dust also since its not tight to the phone either. Also the UB Pro has a kickstand I would say if u dont mind dust behind the screen protector and the back get the cheaper Poetic if you want a tighter more dust resistant case with kickstand get the UB Pro

As a former user of a UB Pro on a Nexus 6P, yes. I utilized a intelliglass/intelliarmor Tempered glass screen protector after removing the built-in plastic cover.
Now, I am using the Poetic Revolution with the OP6T. I did the same thing with the built-in screen cover. Currently, have a tempered glass screen protector for it....just waiting for the plastic one to fall off/peel up.
For removing the built-in plastic (or at least what worked for me), heat up the adhesive a bit to loosen it up and then use a utility knife/blade to slide it under the plastic. Your mileage may vary, so be careful to use the knife/blade away from yourself (cut away) and the plastic case may heat up (watch out for hot surfaces with your finger tips).
For those with the UB Pro case, how is the flap covering the alert slider? On the Poetic, it can be a little bit difficult to switch the slider.
I purchased a Unicorn Beatle case for my Moto g5 Plus over a year ago. Yesterday I purchased a new OnePlus 6T from OnePlus, and after performing an extensive search over the past two weeks to discover if there have been any new rugged cases designed since then that may outperform the Unicorn Beetle Pro, I've concluded the Poetic Revolution is the only one that comes close but the Unicorn Beetle Pro still reigns as champion in my honest opinion. Why? Because it's honestly the best case for those who value the best protection for their phone.
Unicorn Beetle Pro vs. Poetic Revolution
I've never purchased a Poetic Revolution case, but I can share my experiences and knowledge of the UB Pro and the subtle differences I've recognized between the two. Although the two appear to almost identical, at first glance, there are a couple subtle differences I feel give the UB Pro an advantage over the Poetic Revolution. For example, the corner bumpers of the UB Pro are extended/larger to add additional protection, not only from corner impacts but also side impacts between the corners. Inside these corners are larger air chambers to add cushioning protection in order to absorb shock and impacts. These raised corner bumpers also provide additional side clearance that protects the buttons and the side of the device from impacts. Then there's the included holster which is an obvious advantage over the Poetic Revolution package, and it's a good holster. I've had phone holsters in the past that didn't hold up to every day impacts and rubs, and the belt clip ended up easily and unrepairably breaking off, almost effortlessly. However, the UB Pro holster has put up with a surprising amount of impacts and rubs without any issues at all.
The Unicorn Beatle body rubber is firm, yet soft enough to absorb shock and prevent damage to the device. I've had numerous accidental drops throughout the year while handling the device, even down a flight of steps, and the UB Pro has done exactly what it's suppose to do, protect my device. It's never disappointed me.
I don't know what thickness the Poetic Revolution case provides, but I measured various areas of my UB Pro case with a caliper and found the back thickness of the case to be .13" (3.302mm) thick, and it's made of a blend of rubber and polymer. The front protection for the phone screen is what makes the Unicorn Beatle stand out from most if not all of the other phone cases I've seen. Around the perimiter of the device screen is a raised lip which measures a strong .13" (3.302mm) above the device screen. This is the same clearance provided for the rear camera. Many people don't realize the huge advantage this provides toward protecting your device screen and camera lens, far and above all of the other phone cases I've tried which only measured around 0.0393701" (1mm) to 0.0590551" (1.5mm) at the most. Why is this an advantage? So glad you asked, lol. In the event your phone slips from your hand and lands face down outside, there's a good possibility Mr. or Mrs. Pebble (which ranges from 2-4mm) could be waiting in ambush for the opportunity to focus all of its attention on one tiny location on your screen with a kiss, which will more than likely shatter the phone screen. The Unicorn Beatle is the only phone case I've come across to date that provides an additional 0.0984252" (2.5mm) clearance beyond what all of the other cases provide. I believe Supcase has intentionally designed this in because they understand the importance of not only protecting the back and side of your device, but also your device screen from the kiss of disaster by Mr or Mrs Pebble.
As for the built in screen protector on the Unicorn Beatle case, meh. It will protect your device from key and coin scratches, but it allow dust and debris to get between the plastic screen protector and the phone screen (at least with the Moto G5 Plus), which in turn could damage the phone screen. Initially, I installed a tempered glass screen protector on my device screen in combination with the UB Pro plastic screen protector, however, I ultimately pulled off the plastic screen protector built into the Unicorn Beatle frame and cleaned off all of the glue. With that said, I've had no issues with the Unicorn Beatle case causing any problems with the tempered glass screen protector installed on my device.
Best wishes to you. If you choose to purchase a Unicorn Beatle case and holster package, I believe you'll be fully satisfied by the level of protection it provides.
Perhaps if someone out there has the Poetic Revolution case, they can take some measurements to show additional comparisons between the two. Or, I may order one in order to post the differences in here.
Shalom aleichem
I have a poetic case.
I left the stock screen protector on.
The dust part is annoying, I miss the LifeProof case I had on my pixel XL.
Only modification I made was the cut off the USB hinge, as I felt the hinge was putting pressure on the USB cable while plugged in, and therefore putting pressure on the USB internal connector.
So as a precaution, I trimmed it off with an exacto blade, and now it's much easier to plug in the us cable in the car especially.
I already got my unicorn beetle pro case from supcase -- amazon fulfilled the order. I bought mine for 22 bucks.
