Have you found a case that you can't wait to get on your Nexus 6P?

Use this thread to share your findings!

I am worried about the case game for this phone, I am not seeing anything good on the Zon yet. I am really hoping that Spigen gets on board and comes up with something. I have used them for my past 4 or 5 phones, always love their cases.

I think if I had to just in the meantime I would go with one of these Versus cases, until something better comes along, can't go unprotected. I know it is early, but Spigen is usually on the ball for pre-orders of their cases before the phone launches.

I'm wondering if Spigen is feeling the fiasco of the Note 4 mic issues last year and waiting to make sure they've got their ducks fully in a row before offering up any cases.

I intend to rock my 6P naked out of the box. Like I just stated in another thread, I ordered the aluminum because I always go for the black/dark phones and wanted to switch it up. Don't like the idea of covering that right up with a dark case (which I'll totally do if/when I decide to get a case for it).

Those Verus cases don't look bad though. They actually remind me of some of Spigen's offerings. Here's hoping they've accounted for the laser for the auto-focus. Too bad that flash sale on their cases for the 6P is over. If I had ordered my phone back then, I might've grabbed one just for the price and to have an option for extra protection if I needed it.

I spoke with the folks at Seidio yesterday, and they say they have some coming, but couldn't say when. They're my go-to case/holster company. However, I also pre-ordered two, sight unseen, from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GHQGM2?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

The second one looks particularly interesting to me. No tracking, so I have no idea when I'll actually see them.

At this point, if I was going to get one from Amazon, I'm liking something like this

As I said, I want to show off the aluminum, but the straight up clear cases just don't quite do it for me. This one is kinda like a bumper, but with a transparent, frosted back, so I'd get a little of both. For 7 bucks I may just go ahead and snag one just in case.

i've always liked spigen cases. I see 5x on their site, but no 6p. I think I'll wait for that.

Spigen has 1 case so far.

Just ordered this clear spigen case from Amazon. Glad I checked there. Spigen's official site still has this one listed for 24.99. I got it for 13.99.

I'm normally not a fan of a clear case, but given that I trust spigen & want to show off my aluminum phone, I figure this'll be good when I need a case.

The funniest part? The tweet I found this from made note of the fact that their cases are "laser auto-focus ready."

Anybody take a look at the cases offered by Google? Any good?

Here's some input, I only read the title so I'm not sure what exactly they say about it.

I read earlier. Basically, they say that it's a nice thin case that adds good grip & decent protection for the average person. Imo, you can get an equally nice case for half the price.

I think it's funny that they have a "5 best 6P cases" article & almost none of them are shipping yet.

Word to the wise, when you get your third party case(s) & your phone, make sure you know where the important holes in the phone are & verify that the case doesn't cover them. I saw reports today that there are some people getting their 5x cases only to find that they cover the main mic. Oops...

Yeah, I prefer the cheaper $10 cases.

All dressed and nowhere to go ... received the case. Still need the phone.

You can see the 6P is longer than the Note II - The width is about the same. It's noticeably thinner. Fits real good in my hand and the fingerprint scanner will be right where my index fingertip sits...

But I think there is an issue, just looked on Amazon to remember the name of this case and the case I got doesn't appear the same as the images, I didn't get the hard bezel the goes around the edge. I'll have to check the trash when I get home, but you think I would have noticed that.

What's the case look like from the side? Is there a groove where that hard party would kinda "lock in"?

 

[Jonny Kansas]

I'm kinda glad the cases I ordered aren't shipping for another week or two. I don't want them first. I'm still not convinced I'll put them on, other than to check the fit in case I need to make any complaints or returns.
