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.

Eh I was hoping they would be covered. I just ordered two more cases because I'm a case whore when I get a phone. I bought a Spigen Ultra Hybrid (the all clear version) I'll post pictures when it arrives Monday. I also bought a Diztronic ultra
Thanks for your replys guys. You've helped me alot. I'm debating between the Ringke FUSION case and the Ringke MAX case. It seem they are the two that best fits my needs. The only thing that prevents me from getting the FUSION over the MAX is that im not sure the case will feel good in my hand. I tend to sweat in my hands specially holding cheap plastic so i fear ill have it with the FUSION case. Is there anyone here that has the FUSION and can share his expirience about the material and grip of the nexus with the fusion case?

the cutout is my fav, in this way the buttons are flushed with the case. Preventing alot of accidental presses.
well, to each his own....this flexislim is my fav case at the moment. Just hope that it comes with more colors.
I just received my Ringke Slim clear yesterday. I dig it:
http://www.amazon.com/Free-Screen-P...20902817&sr=8-2&keywords=ringke+nexus+6+clear
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.

I hav both and they both have good grip on the sides and are a bit slick on back.
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.

I cover my ports also to keep crap out..even if you find a case you like but it doesn't have covers you can always spend a couple bucks and grab silicone port plugs online... I use them when not in my OtterBox on my Note and they work well.

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.
Hi all
As the title says.. i would like to get some opinions about a case for my sony Xperia Z ultra.
I already got a Flip case(its called Original Flip case for Z Ultra) but i kinda dont like it for few reasons.
My headset cant plug in correctly(doesnt work at all)since the case is preventing the Headset to totally fit in the phone slot
I cant open the mini usb cover on my phone, coz that specific case is also covering that part of the phone
I even think i cant open the microSD/MicroSim cover on phone coz of the same reason
So my main question is: Im sure many ppl here purchased many different flip covers etc.
Which one do u think fits the best for it ,so that none of the phone inputs/outputs are not covered by the flip case it self?
Im from Greece, but i can order worldwide if it actually worths it
* small note: if u dont have the case in your hands... you cant really tell which parts on phone its blocking. Thus..i odnt wanna buy one and just waste some cash.So im looking for an opinion here
Thanks very much
The best choice is no case for this big guy : P
Case
Here's what I'm debating on getting: (look up xperia z ultra bumper devilcase). It's a really sleek looking bumper case. I would do that bumper and then get some metal decal/skins for the front and back.

I just ordered the Sony CP12 battery case from Amazon. It is very expensive but it supposedly doubles the battery and also comes with stylus that can be stored in the case. I like that very much since I'm coming to Z Ultra from Note 3 and am used to stylus. Anyhow, I hope this will it as far as cases go (it should arrive in few days). By the way, I already tried 2 different 3rd party cases and hated both - one was flip cover type and the other open type that only covered back and sides (came with useless screen saver).
I have tried many cases, and the Stilgut leather case is my fav by far.
Incipio dual double layers
The incipio dual is a double layers case giving the ZU a very good protection. I've got my for about two years and very happy with it. Also very thin for a double layers case (rubber inside, plastic TPU outside). The only con is that you can't charge with the magnetic part on the side because it is hidden inside the case.
i hate having a case on my ultra, it just becomes too bulky
i have front/back glass screen protector for everyday use and then i use a plastic case when I am traveling..
I have a flip open case and also a rubber case that I'll sell cheap.
No case
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?

I bought this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Hor...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item20e2d249db belt clip pouch and the slim armor fits in it. It's a little tight, but it works.
So I bought the Spigen slim armor with kickstand case just recently and found that it is rather a thick case and added bulk to the N6. It in turns made the N6 not be able to fit the car mount I bought. Anyone got recommendation for a good slim case?

Ringke Slim Case.
But keep in mind. Slim cases like this offers less protection.
I really like my Diztronic case. It's thin and feels well protected. A few videos on YouTube where people do drop tests and it came out without a scratch.

The slimmest i have is ringke
Try Orzly case, it is very very thin.
The Ringke Max is actually pretty 'slim' with a lot of protection. If you want close to naked feel, then the Ringke Slim might be best, but really not that much protection.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].
I ordered several generic gel jelly slim TPU.
First one to arrive is one with a logo that reads INSTEN and I am very impressed by it.
It's tight (queue up Micheal Meyers), lip is thin and holds on to the frame without going over on to the glass, barely raised ever so slightly higher than the screen.
It makes the screen/viewing pop out (it might be the color I chose, yellow).
The cutouts are great, the thinly covered raised areas over the power and volume rocker are just right (if you have the slim armor you might experience what I have, where touching the buttons is just too sensitive).
Grippy and sturdy. Knocked some on the table, I'd use it to press some buttons, sure..
I might go order more colors.
Usually I like Goospery Mercury Gel TPU cases on my phones, but haven't found any made for the N6.
EDIT: easy in and out from pocket.
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the slick wraps full body because it does not add any bulk and provide some protection.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].

That INSTEN case is identical to the Caseology cases. Probably made in china, and companies just put their own name on it. But they look OK with medium protection.

I'm not doubting your choice, as it's your phone. But any "protection" you get from a skin will be just to prevent scratches and no drop protection. Good luck.

I dont have the caseology, but from the images I can agree, sans dimple. It's a good thing being at 1/3rd the price. I went ahead and bought green and black as well. It is so far my fave case.
I'll add, you know the form, shape that the phone has, makes it fit well in the hand and really gives it that unique feeling that it is a much smaller phone. This case INSTEN keeps that feeling intact..

I really like my Diztronic case. It's thin and feels well protected. A few videos on YouTube where people do drop tests and it came out without a scratch.

I also really like the diztronic case. Minimal and functional.
I actually have the carved case and it's really slim and seems somewhat protective. Especially since it's made of real wood!

SUPCASE UNICORE BEETLE is pretty sweet!

Agreed. Fairly protective without being too bulky. Good grip too.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that preserves the top heaviness and dramatic tapering of thickness at the bottom of the phone? Basically I'm as concerned about drop protection as preserving the original "feel" of the phone.
