So I'm not a big case person but I found a light slim case that you can hardly tell and I love it so much thought I'd share it . Let me know what you got or going to get!

Otterbox Commuter -- its a thin, solid case, which I like.. and was only ~$26, which I also like.
otter box as well
I have a Incipio Feather case coming in soon. I tend to be pretty responsible (keeping my fingers crossed) with my phones and I like that the case helps avoid scratches without adding too much size.
I got the Otter Commuter as well.

Haha yep. Same here.
Otterbox commuter. I wanted a sleek metal case but was concerned about interference.
Really pleased with the otterbox, they have made major improvements since the last time I saw one a couple years ago. Slides easily in/out of pockets.
Awesome simple case and VERY cheap!

Man I wish I had seen that Neo Hybrid before I ordered my Cygnett UrbanShield Carbon Fiber Case.
I just ordered the Spigen Ultra Air case from Amazon. Looks very nice and not bulky.
cruizer lite here
i have three cases, all made by spgen. Neo Hybrid, Slim Armor and an Ultra Fit (got this one free).
I'll most likely go with the Neo Hybrid but we'll see how it fits and if it offers enough protection
I currently have a Rearth Ringke Slim (Black). I ordered the Aero UAG case and waiting on that. That is a cool looking case. I originally had ordered the Spigen in Slate Blue, but after seeing the UAG, I cancelled the order (about $30 with shipping from imarine.com)
That thing looks like it's made to be taken through combat... good grief. I don't want my phone to remind me of MIL-Crates though had enough of that over there...
SPG Neo Hybrid blk/yellow. Awesome little case keeps it very slim and gives good grip for such a thin phone.
Currently have the Otterbox Commuter. I normally use the Defender series but I couldn't find one local. Might get a Defender down the road. The Commuter is slim, but slick.
There really isn't much selection out there right now. Wondering what upcoming cases you guys are anticipating announced or not. I personally, am hoping that someone puts out a sview knock off that is more practical, and a bit cheaper.
$50 is my absolute limit for a case.
Interested to see what cases you guys, are looking forward too.
I wish I could get GodyGlove hybrid case. This case saved my Note 2 from falling.
But now I have to settle with Tech21 for now.
UAG Scout with the dot/dash pattern
Body Glove is usually good about having cases out at launches but I'm sure they will release a Fusion case with stand soon I hope. I also love Speck slim clear cases and again no idea why they don't have one out at launch.

A high quality genuine leather wallet case from Spigen, with a detachable urethane case to support the driving mode.
Waiting on the Seidio Active Combo.
Here's a good looking one.

With Note II I had the original flip case and I was very happy with it. Again now with Note III I seem to like wallet flip case most.
Ideally I'd love something like wallet flip case with no logo in the outer part and made of high quality leather.

Why the heck is Otterbox bringing out a "droid turbo" case and yet refusing to bring out one for the Nexus 6? The droid turbo is available on a single carrier and yet the "nexus 6" case will be available EVERYWHERE. This is maddening to me as an otterbox fan.
No one will have the Nexus till end of November.
I am a fan of the Otterbox Commuter cases, but since they never made one for either the Nexus 4 or Nexus 5, i found that the Seidio Dilex cases are a decent similar case.
For now, I pre-ordered the Spigen Perfect-Fit Slim case on Amazon. Can't go wrong temporarily for $6.99
Because **** Otterbox.

good suggestion on the Spigen case, thanks.
Otterbox actually are the only ones at least considering a properly rugged case for the Nexus 6:
- Trident told me they didn't plan anything for now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/trident-nexus-6-t2914632
- Ballistic doesn't plan anything for now: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/ballistic-case-nexus-6-t2912528
- Ringke MAX generally has some level of dust covers, but seems flimsy in front of an Otterbox Commuter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/rearth-ringke-nexus-6-t2912914
- Spigen will at most sell a Thin Armor (without dust covers - only the Tough Armor would have those, and would be too big for this phone anyway, imho): http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/spigen-case-t2908133
- Rhinoshield may plan what'd be the best bumper case, but it'd be just that: a bumper case, without back protection, nor even dust covers: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/rhinoshield-crash-guard-t2916820
So, well: meanwhile, Otterbox hasn't said no yet. I know there's a grudge between Nexus lovers and Otterbox, seeing as they failed to offer any case for the last two models, but still. They at least are considering it for the Nexus 6, and would immediately become the best rugged option, should they offer at least a Commuter case (I for one don't care about grudges and things like that: I'm only interested in products doing the job I'm after, and seeing the feelers until now, a Commuter case still would do the best job at rugging the Nexus 6, and still is a possibility).
I thus see little reason for complaining for now. And if you want to press them into releasing something, you can either try their FB page (https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10152540885098003&id=54145863002&refid=17) or their g+ page (https://plus.google.com/+otterbox/posts/Muatr3oF7Hx). Seems you've already done it on their g+ page, but giving the link for others can't hurt.
Also, there's already a thread about Otterbox for the Nexus 6: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/nexus-6-otterbox-request-t2907452
I'm trying to figure out which case to buy. I bought two spegin cases. The slim armor I liked in terms of protection, but I hated the buttons on the side and how slippery it is. Also, the kickstand seemed low quality. The other one is just not offering the protection I need. I'm in a toss up between these two. Let me know what you think. I need enough protection to keep it safe, but not bulky.

If you're looking for not bulky. Look into ringke slim black or max.
Ringke slim, sf black.
It's got a great profile and full case protection against scratches. Might not be the best case to protect the phone from high drops though.
Cheap and not to bulky MOKO

Cruzerlite! Their cases are thin and offer great protection. You can YouTube videos of drop tests with the nexus 5 having the Cruzerlite case on it. It's a beast! They also feel great in hand.
Cruzerlite or TUDIA those are my two favorites , both are thin TPU cases and very durable!
Tried both the Spigen Ultra Fit and Neo Hybrid and did not like the extra bulk as its wide enough already. Bought a Dbrand skin for the back only and its perfect. Adds just enough texture so its not slippery but does not add any size to the specifically in width.

agree totally with you. i ended up with just a Skinomi matte skin. if an ultra slim clear or smoke case comes out which gives some grip but keeps the looks especially the visual of the Midnight blue back and metal sides i might reconsider. until then i'll be ultra careful!
If you're looking for a case without bulk, then get the Ringke SLIM SF Black. More grip and adds no bulk.
Although, Ultra Hybrid doesn't add any bulk very minimal in my opinion.

A tacky feeling, clear skin would be very nice.
I ran the Ringke Slim SF black for 2 days. Then my Spigen Slim Armor arrived. To be honest, the Spigen isn't impressing me that much. It makes the device feel bulky and it doesn't provide the grip the Ringke did. I might return it and get a different case with kickstand.

Spigen cases have let me down, I had both the ultra hybrid and slim armor and didn't like either one. I have a ringke fusion which I like, and I have a pure gear slim on the way.
I have one of these on order......unfortunately, it won't be in stock until Dec 24th. It comes in a bunch of colors and for 10 bucks.......it's a deal!!!!

I've got the Moko (2 of them), a Supcase on order, and just got the CF version of the Caseology off Amazon. All of them combined were still cheaper than walking into a Apple store and getting a cheap TPU case. That carbon fiber Caseology looks pretty nice in the pics.
I'm considering the Ringke Hybrid or Max, which get a lot of attention around here. The Urban Armor Gear looks good to me as well, but I haven't seen much about it. Anyone try the UAG case?
I really liked uag when I had it on my note 2. Was using their orange variant, wish that was available for the n6

Hey guys,
So I just order the Nexus 6 and I was wondering what the best case for it was.
Now that its 2015 and many of you have experienced different cases for the Nexus 6, what is your favorite case?
TUDIA Cruzerlite and Diztronic would be my picks in that order
My favorite is the Caseology

What caseology case exactly?
Using the Tudia as of right now, probably pick up a Ringke fusion soon.
Ringke Fusion + Dbrand Skin in the back.
Although, I haven't received my dbrand skin yet, Ringke Fusion provides good button feedback that is satisfying to press and eliminates the problem of accidentally pressing on the wrong key.

This is the one I recently purchased. Its REALLY nice. I like the one you have posted zephiK
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OHFGUDU?vs=1
Ringke Fusion Smoked is legit. Been holding it all day and has fair amount of grip and looks good!
Trident Aegis
Ringke fusion is best if u want a clear case, Ringke Slim if u want protection without adding any bulk, Cruzerlite Bugdroid if u want a tpu case with good protection and Ringke Maxx with tpu and hard back for good protection.

To add onto what prototype said (above) if you're looking for a slim case, get the black case as it has soft touch feel on them whereas the other color choices does not.

Ringke Max is my choice, looks really premium especially with a carbons kin showing underneath the plastic.
Does the Ringke Fusion still scratch easily? Also is the back PC with TPU sides? I was looking at getting one or maybe the Max.
I highly recommend Trident Aegis. I have the all black one and this thing is a beast. It offers amazing protection while still staying pretty slim. Its a little more expensive but I have no fears of dropping my phone now. Side note I have on a jelly comb tempered glass screen protector and literally do not worry about dropping my phone with this combo.

They have a revision out, I received mines but didn't open the package as I'm waiting for a smoke black to arrive as the revision replacement is crystal view. Wanted the smoke black to hide the outer trim of n6.
From what the representative told me, the revision is not yet fulfilled by Amazon. Kinda confusing when they'll have it.

Thanks, that's what I've been seeing in the Ringke OP. I'm going to wait until everything gets cleared up before I buy one. The case does look nice so hopefully it will get sorted out soon.

If you really want one right this second, you can start up a ticket and ask for a revised version.
They sent me a paypal invoice and is sending me the revised, paid ~$12 for it.
So sick of these threads. There is no "best case". It's 95% user preference.
I personally love the Ringke Slim and it is the best case for ME. No one can tell you what the best case will be for YOU.
I've just ordered Spigen slim but for now my favorite is Cruzerlite smoke.
