Do I really need a case ?
What quality are materials used for back camera glass (will it scratch), back and silver borders?
Will the phone scratch in above places, by jsut keeping it in clean pocket or on table ?
I am considering case-mate tough case (prolly only good case available in Poland)
Its not as durable as an iphone I would say. If it had real metal for the bezel you could go by without a case. The metallic bezel scratches easily on this one.

And how about the camera glass? Does it scratch easily?
For me the biggest benefit of a case is more traction in my hand. This freaking thing is slippery without a case!

I've never read a post regarding a scratched camera glass, however the screen will most certainly scratch and it WILL shatter on impact, that much is clear from these forums.

I would have to politely disagree. The iPhone has a poor design in terms of durability. The screen (glass) goes all the way to the edge of the phone, meaning its corner is exposed. This is a bad thing because no matter how durable glass is, a simple hit in its corner will surely crack it.
For example You can take a hammer to a shower door and give it a slight smack on its surface without breaking. However, give it a slight wack on its corner and the WHOLE thing will shatter. This explains how glass as durable as gorilla glass is capable of cracking.

Completely disagree. As another poster said, iphones shatter way more thanks to the edges of the glass being highly exposed to impacts.
But as to the OP's questions, why would you NOT protect such an expensive investment?

Oh I should have stated that by DURABLE I meant can withstand everyday wear and tear. For concern of droppage, youd want cases protecting both phones.

Do you like playing Russian roulette? Unless you have insurance plan with your carrier or somewhere else ($10 a month or something like SqTd for $100, and deductible which could end up being anywhere $100-$200), I would invest in a decent $20-$40 case.
Plenty of posts in this and other forums about people shattering the glass when dropped even with tpu case or other slim plastic cases. Battery door scratch or camera glass scratch will be your least worries when you drop your phone and see a spider web going across your screen from the corner. If you want just additional grip, slim case will do it. But for drop protection you need something beefier with a bumper/lip for protection.
Then Case recommendations please
otterbox commuter
case-mate tough (europe version)
or UAG ... but with this one I would need some instruction on how to ship stuff to Poland. I never bought abroad

Either of those would be fine. Check out link in my signature for all the cases I have tested/reviewed in this forum. Since it sounds like you don't want too much bulk, for a basic everyday use Tough would be an excellent choice with SURFACE being right behind it. If you are more paranoid and will be using your phone outdoors - UAG is great. If you doing heavy duty construction work outside, CONVERT or Defender will do it. If you want to make bling-bling statement, go with aluminum bumper and fancy carbon fiber battery cover
I'm using two cases now: a UAG for when I'm at work and a Seido Snap case as a general walking around case. Both cases allow me to hide an RFID card in them for work access.
The phone itself is too slippery NOT to be in a case.
I don't know how you guys are saying this phone is very slippery. Its pretty slick with no case. The matte cases make it more smooth and slippery iMO

I strongly recommend you the Samsung Protective Cover +.I think you can find it in online shops from Poland ,or stores like Orange ,Vodafone and so on.I bought it from an online shop from Romania.It's pretty cheap.Fits very well ,had it for 3 months It adds the right amount of bulk.It's like 10,3 mm I think.It has raised borders around the screen ,so if it falls,it won't touch the screen.The back is glossy ,but the sides are offering a great grip
Also doesn't affect S Pen ,NFC ,flash or something else.There are 3 colors available:Black White and Pink.Any of these colors has white borders.Do a google search and you'll see.Ah,forgot to mention:I dropped it one time with the case on,the only thing that happened is that the S Pen went flying.
I use an invisible shield and that's all. Unless you handle your phone without care, then a case isn't really necessary unless alcohol becomes part of the equation. I have dropped my phone with the flip cover on concrete, to see it slide down the road in pieces. It didn't break nor did it have any drop damage, but I feel if I had a case, the force would have been expelled through the screen.
Samsung protcrive cover + interested me. It is nice. Have rubber raised above screen and is cheaper than others.
Anyone care to share his opinion?
Thanks for all answerws. I am still investigating other cases aswell

It was discussed as well before, rubber bumper is good, but the back part will scratch like hell. That was #1 complain about it. Also if you buy it online beware of CH cheap knockoffs.
My camera lens actually scratched somehow. Might have been when I accidentally put it in a pocket with my keys but I have never dropped it without a case on.
i dropped mine once on concrete and the screen shattered

You are most certainly the exception and should consider yourself lucky... This forum is riddled with people who cracked their screen from minimal falls even while having a case on it.

I am currently using the otter-box defender on mine, it adds some bulk to the phone, but over all it does a good job, and I got it for free, any time I have had an otter-box thats gotten beat to hell, they have always been happy to replace the part of the case, or the entire case as long as I send them a picture.

I'm currently enjoying my Otterbox Commuter and Trident Aegis cases.
I LOVE my dot view case. Great protection, the cover features really do come in handy, and I really dig the overall look. This is my first cover case and I've gotten to used to it really quickly. Besides the dot view that I've also been using Skinomi back skin when I want to go naked to prevent scratches (had issues with my M7). The install was easy, the fit was great, and no visible orange peel that I can see.

100% with you! Love this case, love the magnet on/off and the dot functions. Takes a tiny bit of getting used to if you have not used a flip case (like me). Think it looks pretty slick and smart, ten times better than a generic amazon jelly cases.
I feel all the complaints are a tiny bit unfair, that is... apart from the price. But £30 to protect a £600 phone for two years seems good to me. I think the spring of the cover will dissipate after a month of use so the one handed usability will return.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUT
I think it has sub-par protection capabilities. I only got this case because of the condition of my two year old HOX. Not a scratch on it, never dropped/thrown or scratched. DO NOT BUY THIS CASE FOR PROTECTION. It pops out very easily and the sides are not protected. I'm worried that sliding the phone in and out of my pocket may one day catch the volume rocker then just rip it off.
Good case with minimal protection; otter box or equivalent for repeat drop offenders!!!
I used a Spigel Glas.T slim on my Xperia Z, and it was a huge disappointment, cause the glass was so thick that the edges became a 90 angle which caught on stuff. However, the case I got with the M8 (Scandinavia. Don't know what the case is called) has a little lip outside of the edges, so it might be OK with this phone.
Of course, then I'd have to wear the case all the time, which isn't really that big of a problem, but who knows what cool cases might appear in the future, without a lip...
Maybe I'm overthinking this

Haha you're probably right. I typically go naked with all my phones so I might feel a bit over protected by having a full cover case on for the first time.
Very subjective as people have different needs for their cases.
For me, I find the UAG to be the best case for me.
TPU covers are minimal but also provide minimum protection.
OtterBox Defender cases provide excellent protection but add a large amount of bulk.
For me, the UAG is the best of both worlds. Very good impact protection but does not add a ton of bulk.
I second uag. Just got mine today and absolutely love it. Provided good protection and isn't very bulky also the design is very cool. I saw some drop videos of this case on various phones and it stood up to a 6 foot drop flat on the screen, now that's impressive.

Great case. Very well crafted. i used lots of cases in the past and they seem to have some imperfection. with this one i haven't noticed any. the camera cut off is perfect. the buttons are very responsive better than the one on the phone. the M8 was very slippery not anymore with this case. very solid on hand. it,s a bit heavy and adds little bit of bulkiness but that,s not issue for me. overall great looking case that offers sleek look and good protection.
it blocks the IR blaster but no big deal for me
I really like how all of Spigen's cut outs on all of their cose styles are exact to the leanses and flash etc. Instead of larger mutli use holes. It just makes it look so much nicer.

Others have actually posted the opposite stating the cutouts are a little bit off and especially around the silver trim around the camera.

This, hands down: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IJ0R02Y/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Looks gorgeous, feels amazing, slides easily in and out of pocket, doesn't attract lint, and it's very affordable.
All you UAG guys I encourage you to give this one a try. I used to be a die-hard UAG user, but I just got this and it easily won me over and the best thing is that it's less than half the price of UAG's cases.

I already tried the first one, Norway is not included in the list. Looking forward for your reply on Amazon =)
I want to protect the screen from cracking on an accidental fall and I've had numerous recommendations all different from one another. I've done some research but again I've found conflicting results.
I've heard/read that a hard case is the best bet to protect the screen from breaking on a fall (seems logical), but also (logically) it will increase the thickness and width of the phone. I want to avoid that as best I can as the phone is huge already for me.
I've heard/read that a tempered glass screen protector will offer some form of protection against cracks and breaks of the glass if the phone does fall. Of course not as much as a solid hard case, but better than no cover. I've been told by one person that it will give the phone screen about 50% more strength, someone told me that it will double the strength of the screen, another told me it will do nothing.
I also read stories of having your phone 'treated' (I dont know what that means and I cant find any more info about this) whereby the glass has its strength increased to avoid breaks and cracks.
What is my best option to keep the phone slim and give the glass some kind of protection, without the use of a case? Does anyone have any kind of advice to offer?
A tempered glass protector will help some. Its hard to say how much though. It cant be quantified because screen breaks arent always from direct contact between screen and surface. Best protection would be protector AND case.
I'm getting a ringke slim case in crystal. Its pretty much the thinnest hard case. Maybe it will be slim enough for you.

Thanks for the reply; I'll look into the case you mentioned, thank you!
Yes, I thought the tempered glass protector would help but assumed it wouldn't help much/be measurable due to the different ways a phone could break.
Buy a tempered glass screen protector, i bough the one from Yootech on amazon.
Like what others have said, a tempered glass protector is what you're looking for. They're much better than plastic screen protectors.
Tempered offers better protection, feels better in the hand. The only con is that it may not cover all the edges as tempered glass is flat whereas plastic screen protectors can be curved.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/accessories/tempered-glass-screen-protectors-t2922645 is a thread where you can read up on whats available.
Some of the big names are: Jelly Comb, Ghostek, and some others.
I'm not sure how protective a "skin" is but it could be somewhat handy, the big names would be dbrand and slickwraps.

I think the dbrand seem a bit thicker. It saved my nexus 5 from a few scratches on a pavement drop. The slick will too, but perhaps not as much. Anything more than a scratch though, it's not rally going to do anything.

My first dbrand was for the nexus 4. The nexus 4 had a glass back and I was annoyed during winter time, the back of the phone was super cold because of the glass.
I purchased a skin for the n6 for the back to prevent fingerprints. I think a awesome setup would be. Tempered glass, dbrand, slickwraps side skins.
Wish dbrand offered skins for the sides. But yeah dbrand should protect minor accidents like scratches

I haven't got a glass yet and im holding off as I like the feel of the 6 naked. I've ordered a Ringke slim in Crystal which should arrive today or tomorrow... and a carbon fibre back and sides from slickwraps. Not sure if I will like the case but it was cheap so its no loss...
I use a Unicorn Beetle case on my phone. A little bit big but you'll get used to it soon. I've dropped it about 4 times and it should have cracked about 3 times. But not a crack
Well the Slim case arrived. Actually the videos and photos dont actually do justice to how slim it is. Its really slim. BUT, it does creak a little and it scratches even using a lint cloth, which of course you need to use because if you get anything stuck between the phone and the case, you can see it a mile off.

I dont like any cases at all. I'm a naturist when it comes to phones, but it was £6 from Amazon so I thought "why not". It is hard to remove, but I was prepared for that after watching the video reviews in the accessories forum.

Yeah very nice. I'd prefer clear all round to show off skin sides. ..and a bit big for me.
Ive never been one for cases but I did runrun an urban armor gear on my s3 for a few weeks. Was massive and looked like a portable toilet haha
Thank you to all for your clarification and suggestions in this thread; I hope that others with similar questions will find this a good source as I have for a quick, simple set of answers.
At this stage I'll likely end up with a temp glass cover for one phone and a flip case for the other (partner's phone, as they've recently decided they want).

I would have done that too, I have a Crystal but the carbon fiber looked weird with the blue sides so I had a smoke black to hide the trim piece.
I haven't seen that many cases for this phone even on ebay or amazon. Just a handful... Which ones are you using? And how do you like them? Protection and appearance...
Havent found any good on amaxon either but if u like incepio u can check out there site they got like 4 available might be getting one.

Ive moved from a z3 compact and I had the same leather case for 2 years. Great quality and decent leather. Afte comparing lots of phone sizes I took a slight risk getting this iPhone6 plus sized one
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00NKFZYW6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Only point is I slide my Z play in downwards so it's easier to grasp when pulling it out.
I like that pouch man. Super classy. How's the fit? Is it too tight or loose?
I was expecting it to be slightly too long as the iPhone6 plus is bigger but it's perfect. After having one for my old phone the pouch never gets loose enough for it to fall out. Prefer these cases to open ones so the screen is protected as well.
Looks good man. I may pick one up! It's perfect for the off hours... I also need something for work tho.. I work in an industrial setting and while I'd love to have the phone naked I need something hardcore in case I drop it. I've seen the Incipio ones, I may get one of those I guess... You'd think with the battery life this phone has it would have been a more popular model. But it seems like not too many people are picking it up
Had to order a Nillkin case of Aliexpress, as decent cases arent available yet on local sites.
Recently ordered mine shock proof case in Ali Express
-----------------------
-UPDATE-
This is the case: https://m.pt.aliexpress.com/item/32745245264.html
It hasn't arrived yet, but I think it's pretty neat, the phone seems to fit right into the case, so it doesn't make it that extra bulky, but it doesn't also fit a Mod back there.
I don't use a case. I use protector from the Gadgetshieldz. They act as my primary protection.
http://www.gadgetshieldz.com/moto-z-play-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html
didn't use case only screen protector
Ended up picking this one up for now. Protects the camera well has a decent lip over the screen for a slim case and it's a sticky kinda rubbery plastic so it won't fly out of my hands at work. It was also nice and cheap with prime shipping.

No they aren't. One is orange the other pale yellow...

You can see a slight difference in the first one. Color reproduction accuracy wasn't really a concern there haha

i'm looking for a case like this but would cover the top and bottom...
I ordered this case and tempered glass.
Both from Nillkin. I will review it as soon as I receive it.
Just wondering what do you guys use. I've always used a case. But thinking of just using tempered glass with a skin. I know it will be prone to cracking the back. But the skin can cover it right? So I'll just pray the tempered glass saves my screen if I ever drop it. Thoughts?
I use a wet install back film, naked screen, sometimes cases, thin, or heavy type, depending on what I will do or where I will go
I have a Spiegen NeoHybrid, Samsung Alcantera, and Samsung this plastic case that I alternate between. But right now I'm using a DBrand skin on the back of it. I've never been a fan of cases and I'm taking my chances with the skin but it does increase the grip of it compared to the glass back. I don't use a screen protector because I haven't found one that feels quiet the same to write on using the S-Pen compared to a naked display. I feel putting anything on the screen reduces the touch sensitivity as well.
I started with the (official) Samsung Rugged Cover, got tired of the bulk after a couple months and switched to a substantially thinner PEEL case. After about a month realized that the extremely thin PEEL case wasn't offering any better protection than a wrap/skin, I installed a "full body" wrap. That lasted all of about 5 frustrated minutes.
I enrolled in Samsung+ Care and will let them "cover" my beautiful, bare, Note8 should something happen.
I use Samsung's flip case. It gives me protection for the screen and back and it provides a stand for watching videos ... very happy with it!

I always use a case. A relatively thin case but one that gives some protection. I also use a magnetic car mount so I need a case to hold it in place.
Currently using a vrs design high pro shield... But lumion is the same thing and sells cheaper

Started off with the OtterBox Defender and skinomi wet install screen protector but got tired of the hard case removal process with the Defender when using the Gear VR headset. So now I'm using the Official Samsung Rugged Protective case with no screen protection. Haven't had a screen protector on in over a month and still have not a single scratch.
Back protection(wet or dry install) is really great, it guards against all type of particles when you use any type of case!
i use this case. got it from amazon
A good quality slim case with a matching wallpaper is how I always rock. Change the colors every few weeks to keep it fresh...
DBRAND GRIP CASE FTW!!!! It's the best case I have ever used. Also lets the dbrand skin show on the back. Grippy as hell, already dropped and protects well.

I bet that looks good with red edge lighting.

I use this one. Got so many compliments it made my wife switch from an iPhone to a Note 8.

I bought my Skinomi back clear skin from Amazon. You may have to buy the full kit and just use the back part.
