Thanks! I was curious about the Ringke Slim as I have one arriving tomorrow. It's safe to say that I'll be ditching my Bugdroid TPU case for that one permanently.

I tend to use the Ringke when I'm in or around the office, or just want the phone to look nice.
I seem to lean more towards throwing my Bugdroid on when out of the office for the grip and a little added security.
It's situational for me. The Ringke looks great, but it can be a bit slippery at times.

Yeah, but on previous Ringke Slim cases I've had I've found that the white is slippery while the black finish is much more "flat" textured and ads much more grip, similar to the flat black TPU cases. This is one reason why I went with the black one this time too. It arrives today and I'll report back with the feel of it.

That would suggest that the colored variants have some sort of textured backing then. Definitely interested to hear back on that.
I was debating a black, but I wanted it quick and figured I'd just do a custom paint job myself if I wanted a different color.
Really wanna get the ringke but owning one for my nexus 4 I found that they scratch the phone.

They do. I remember this being the way it was previously. The white one was very slick and almost shiny. The black was a rougher texture and more of a matte look. However, after doing some more reading just now, it appears that the gunmetal one has the same feel as the white one. So if you want more texture you have to go black.
And, in looking at my order again I was reminded that I ordered gunmetal and not black. Looks like I'll need to place another order.

I haven't had any issues, yet. But I can see where it could possibly scratch has it is not the simplest of cases to remove.

Hopefully you ordered with Amazon, they have a great return/refund/exchange service. Good news is they are relatively inexpensive.
Updated overviews of the Ringke SLIM & Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit cases.
quick question @Andromjb , which one feels more sleek? based on past experiences with other phone, the ringke would be more sleek when compared with the TPU case?
Didnt try cruzerlite before and I wonder if their TPU technology is thinner than other TPU makers like spigen ultra or moody?

The Ringke is by far more sleek.. It's more of a "flashy" type case, keeping the form of the Nexus 6 practically identical.
Cruzerlite is a solid TPU case for the price. It does add a little thickness, most notably around the edges. Provides great grip and mid range drop protection.
Can't go wrong with either case, all comes down to personal preference of course.
On another note, I was recently contacted by Orzly. They will be sending me their Nexus 6 cases for review. Looking forward to receiving their products and hopefully I'll get those hope soon as well.

Hey, is it possible to post more photos of the skin? I only saw two. Interested in some side photos and whatnot. I really want to switch mine to a black cover and get the white N6 cause the white and black thing throws me off, but really dislike the midnight blue color scheme. Thanks if you can

I personally wouldn't put any white on the front of mine, but that's my personal preference. I'm by no means telling you not to if you want that option.
dbrand has a lot of nice pictures up on their site where you can check out of the front options.
Fronts:
Matte White
Leather White
Matte Black
White Carbon Fiber
Black Carbon Fiber
Black Metal
Black Leather
Red Carbon Fiber
I meant you said ebony and ivory together, but you got a black covering. So I am assuming you're talking about the bezel on the side being white or the black front and white cover? I'm confused now hahs
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 been really happy with my Supcase Hybrid...buttons and grip are much better than the Spigen slim armor.

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

I'm hoping the clear/frosted/black will look OK with the white 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.
Got all my SPIGEN CASES and both phones so check them out HERE
I really like the gold in the clear hybrid case. Really shows off the gleam while having minimal bulk.
Unfortunately the back is turning out to be a fingerprint magnet so I may swap this out.
Great info. Thank you.

I got the NeoHybrid in the same Satin as you did & the Spigen Thin Fit in black. I normally prefer a little more protection then this thin fit has, but the phone feels so good with it on & its just enough to hid what would be the finger prints on the back I am having a hard time switching back to the NeoHybrid which was definitely a perfect case as well.
Which case would have the best grip?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax..._UL160_SR115,160_&refRID=0J4H8KJ144ECA5ZF6AXC
looks like the thin fit, but the buttons are covered, have had the same case on my last few phones, they just work for me. ( i do have others laying on the counter, lol)
thanks for the video !!
Thanks for the video, already went for the clear case and gold S7, arriving tomorrow. Looks like I made the right decision, looks great imo.

Nice! Thanks for that!
I ordered the black with carbon fibre and just received it today. I don't get the phone until tomorrow.
I am using Spigen ultra thin transparent and think it fits great. It does pick up dust, though.
Spigen Tough Armor works very well on my S7.
