which case would you recomend for bumps - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Im use to samsung and apple phones so theres always been alot of choice, but for the nexus theres just a few brands im not familiar with.
Ive used an apple leather case, tech21 case, trident case, ballistic case, and incipio.
Im looking for a case that looks good and decent protection.
I plan to keep the phone in my pocket, and at work i tend to bump into things. Also since the phone is so big id like drop protection.
So out of all the cases out there which would you recomend and why?

Take a look at UrbanArmorGear or UAG
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

I would recommend Moko or Supcase. They are both pretty thick cases, and in my opinion, are pretty easy on the eyes

Cruzerlite TPU and TUDIA TPU cases are Mt favorites. They are slim, protect against drops and are great all around cases.

I just pick this case up from Amazon. It's a pretty nice case doesn't add too much bulk to the phone. It looks pretty good on the phone.

I like how theyre slimmer. Do you really think it would protect the nexus from a fall?
The UAG case turns has the horrible logo mixup haha, maybe they'll have other colors?
Havent seem the other cases, i look them up.
Also are thet Spigen cases any good?

I've got the Spigen Ultra Hybrid on my N6. Two drops from waist height onto asphalt, right on the corner. No damage to the phone or the case.
I was impressed considering the Galaxy S3 I had before I got the N6 fell off my bed, right on the corner, with an Otterbox Commuter case on it and the lcd was destroyed.
I'm sure the other heavier duty spigen cases will give you even more protection. I just got the Ultra Hybrid because it doesn't hide the white back I went through so much hell trying to obtain...

Are any of these previously mentioned cases, grippy? Like the OP, I'm looking for some protection, but I'd like a case that's very grippy (almost rubber-like), resists fingerprints, isn't so thick that it messes up wireless charging, and doesn't cover up the Nexus logo (everyone leaves the moto one intact, but covers up the Nexus! Heresy!) Any cases out there like that, or that a pipe dream?

I got the cruzerlite and I have the i-blason armor box. Both are awesome. Cruzerlite for when I want it slim and i-blason when I want that otter box type of protection, and it's pretty nice for 9 bucks.

Something like the Poetic Slimline, but better quality?

I really like the functionality of the Poetic Slimline case for my Nexus 7. The tri-fold cover, magnetic closure, light weight and thinness are great. What is not so great is the quality of the materials and construction.
Has anyone found a case of similar design and functionality, but of better quality? Real leather, better fit and finish? Anything better out there?

I am wondering the same thing. I am going to be getting a nexus 7 soon so I have been trying to pick out a case. I like everything about the poetic slimline except all that is holding me back is all the reviews talking about the poor build quality and it falling apart.
The Nillkin leather smart case is another one I'm looking at that's similar, here it is

Also here are a few others that you can take a look at...I still have yet to decide which one I'm going to get

I have the Poetic case and it serves it's purpose but once I bought the Speck FitFolio I was completely happy. It's worth the few extra bucks without a doubt.

I too have Poetic Slimline, and I have not liked the build quality from the first time I laid my eyes on it on Xmas day.
The Speck case looks a lot better, but I would prefer the magnetic latches of the Poetic over the manual latch of the Speck. Other than that, the Speck would be a no brainer.
The Moko also looks like it has a few straps that would anoy me.
I literally want a non-crappy built Poetic Slimline and I would be happy.
i say get the nillkin, exotek or MoKo.
(ive got the MoKo)
One interesting thing about the Moko, it looks like you might be able to slide it into a dock while leaving it in the case, but that would need tested. You would just let the flaps lay behind the dock if they would bent correctly without interfering.
I just ordered the Speck about an hour ago.

Can you do a video review of this?
I am very skeptical because the Poetic Slimline use external magnets on both sides of the case to keep the cover closed because if they only have magnets on the cover, it will be too strong and will turn off the device when the cover is flipped to the back. And if the magnets on the cover is just right, then I really doubt it will keep the cover closed which will be a problem because when it flaps around it will keep turning the screen on and off...
Otherwise this look exactly like the Poetic Slimline but even smaller. (Doesn't mean it is better quality though).
Really interested in a review of this.
So are there actually any covers that are not leather, but rubber exterior? Something like these: https://www.hammerheadcase.com/
I don't get all the complaints about the poetic quality. Had mine for 2 months and its still perfect.

Look at Devicewear's The Ridge, and the Speck FitFolio, or the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio
I also backed out from ordering a poetic slimline case because of some of the quality issues shown in the customer uploaded images on Amazon. Glue issues, fraying, etc... I'd also recommend against the trifold cover design as it is definitely more prone to toppling over.
If you want something similar and maybe a bit better for typing and other such use, the nicest I've seen was the Incipio Slim Kickstand Folio, but it isn't the most available case around. The good news is, it's basically the same case as the Speck FitFolio or Devicewear's the Ridge.
Speck's a more widely known brand, but I saw a few FitFolios, in a couple of stores, showing wear along their corners while still on shelves. The vegan leather material seemed a bit like an eraser from the ones I felt. I also didn't care for the harbor blue color when it came to the poly-shell against the color of the device, especially since it doesn't fully cover the back of your N7. I also didn't care for the clip, not that it doesn't have some use.
I went with Devicewear's The Ridge option myself. It's very slim. It has full shell coverage for the back of the N7 with holes for the mics (wifi). I believe there are three color options available. The outside leather is a bit less soft than the FitFolio, and it uses a soft stap to stay closed instead of a dangling clip. The sleep function works when it's supposed to, and doesn't when it's not supposed to.. I felt like I was taking a slight chance with it because a lot of the reviews seemed fake, but so far its been a very good case.
Don't sell the Poetic Slimline short
Gotta be honest, been using the poetic slimline case for a couple of weeks now, and I must have got insanely lucky or something, becase I really dont have any complaints. Doesn't really add much heft to the device (I came from an HTC flyer, and even with the case this is slimmer and lighter than the flyer was bare) provides decent protection, doesn't get in my way, and (after trimming a few little threads off the cover with a razor knife) has continued to look awesome regardless of my poor treatment of it. I think cases are up to personal opinion in the end, but I for one will certainly not complain about the poetic. Just another opinion.

It's smart. It's the case I use. Pleather covered cheap metal (my guess, could be plastic) that grips the Nexus in 6 places, the corners and midpoint of each short side. You slip the tablet out of the 2 bottom most corners and then sit it one of the slots in the lid of the case to use it like a stand. Pretty much how all of this sort of case works. But no it's not as thin as a true smart cover lid. OTOH the lid has a lip that clips over the Nexus to keep it closed and is thicker offering more protection and even an elastic grip to hold the tablet in portrait orientation.

Lightweight case with good protection?

Hey everyone,
At the moment I use a rubber TPU case (that looks ugly) and is somewhat bulku. My priority is getting the phone in least bulk and reasonable protection to go with it. Preferrably stylish.
Any suggestions?

That's exactly what I'm NOT looking for:

That is I don't want heavy cases, I just need lightweight cases, as light as possible, with reasonable protection - sorry if I wasn't clear.

Is it lightweight? Because Otterbox is SERIOUSLY bulky, and I'm looking for LIGHTWEIGHT case - that is the main thing for me.
I mean "not as bulky as otterbox" still sounds bulky, doesn't it?
It is lightweight.
Look it up on google. There are plenty of pics on their site and there must be a review on xda too.

I have the official note 2 bumper case from Samsung. It's pretty lightweight, looks great, and offers good drop protection from most angles. There isn't enough of an overhang to really protect the screen if it fell flat, but otherwise a back/corner drop should be well covered.
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Protec...398878790&sr=8-2&keywords=note+II+bumper+case
The Diztronic TPU cases are also great, it doesn't look like a lot of protection, but I had one on my S3 and dropped it on tile, wood, gravel, and asphault without any major damage. They also feel and look great in hand. This probably is a bit better than the Samsung case on a face-flat drop since it's raised higher above the screen.

I agree with you, although the Seidio Surface is probably more suited to what the OP is looking for:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSR3SS...&qid=1405331811&sr=1-2&keywords=seidio+note+2
I have dropped my phone several times, and I partially ran over it in the yard with my riding lawnmower last week and it has survived.
I have noticed a best option for the case aswell extra power supply
i am unable to post the link for outside ones as i am newbee. but go to alibabaDOTcom and search for powercase for n7100
It must be the best option for the phones which are hungry of battery
If you are ok with a flip cover (for screen protection), I have a Kalaideng (KLD) that is very stylish with a (fake) leather finish. Its light, but a bit bulky though.
Otterbox commuter case is the best.
Maybe not along ht elines of what the OP is after but since a lot of folks are brinigng up the Otterbox Commuter...
The RedPepper waterproos case for the Note 2 looks pretty good. Bit bulky, but fully weather sealed, as in submergable.
Readily available on ebay too for like $20.
Anyone interested in an otterbox defender case, like new. I basically put it on, did not like, & took off. I just can't bring myself to throw it away, $10, if interested pm me.

Just received this one from Amazon today. It's pretty good, but it would be better with a black TPU instead of clear TPU. The clear TPU means you can see the actual buttons on the phone under the metal buttons of the case. It looks really weird and clumsy.
Other than that, it's a pretty solid case. I really wanted a Neo Hybrid EX, but Spigen told me they weren't making one.

Thank your sharing. It's not a good price for a phone case, but it looks high quality and protective. I'll give a shot only if it gets good reviews.
I am currently attracted by phone cases made by the company call Design Skin. You can search it on Amazon. They have really nice cases. I saw lots of thin cases with great protection functions. Hope this helped~!

Thinnest case

What is the thinnest case out? I don't necessarily like cases...just want something as thin as possible for scratch protection.
Rinkge Slim is probably the thinnest. It fits VERY well and is about as minimal as it gets. I really like it.
However, I switched to a TPU case because I can be a bit clumsy and needed more protection from drops on pavement.
If you just want scratch protection then a skin is the way to go.

I have this one and have had it on past phones and I felt it made the 5x quite a bit bigger for a "thin" case. Maybe because its designed to fit flush with the camera and since the camera protrudes out, it the case does too.

I've heard a lot about this one... Also the Nillkin Nature case keeps coming up, too, and lists itself as .66mm thick. That's a pretty slim case, and would be far thinner than my Cimo tpu case. I'm probably going to order both the Nillkin and Lg Hardshell and see which one is best. I like that the Nillkin comes in clear and smoked options, too, instead of just solid colors. Haven't been able to confirm that option on the LG case since it doesn't appear for sale in the US just yet.

IMO the Ringke and Spigen "slim" cases look like Otterboxes in comparison to the LG Snap On, that one is basically like a hard skin. The quicksand cases are similar to those in thickness.

How thin is the Nilkin? I don't see it advertised. The LG Snap On is advertised at 0.75mm but we don't know at which point of the case they measured.
The Nilkin is a gel case, or "condom" case as I like to call them. They are thin but that's about all they have going for them.

The nillkin is advertised at. 0.6mm. Not much for rugged protection, I suppose, but should be nice for some coverage without added bulk. Mine just shipped (from somewhere in east Asia) and should be here in about 2 weeks. Will keep y'all posted.
The Lg case has a s light inward curve to it so it's hard to get measurements. After trying multiple angles the thinnest I got was .80, that's coming straight up from the bottom.
Diztronic hands down

Just got the Nillkin. Definitely the thinnest TPU case I've ever owned. Also the buttons still retain most of their clicky feedback. This has happily replaced the Orzly as my main case.

This is awesome to hear. I'm pumped...the next 10+ days of waiting for mine to arrive from China are going to be tough! Mind if I ask, from where did you order yours?

I've got my Nillkin Nture TPU case. It's awesome! I don't have pics yet, but will try getting some for y'all when possible. In short, it's amazingly thin for TPU, adding minimal bulk. This is far superior and much thinner than my Cimo TPU case. It's not going to offer much drop protection, but I'm not too concerned about that. Plus it'll certainly prevent scratches. It also has a slight raised edge at the bezel so you can set the phone screen-down on a flat surface and the screen won't touch, but the added bonus here is that since its such a thin case, the offset is minimal which makes it MUCH easier to swipe left-to-right (for example to open an app menu or Google Now) than thicker TPU caes (which can often make it hard to touch the edge of the screen.
Anyway, I'm really happy about this case. It does had small flaps that cover and plug the charging alot and headphone jack, which I waver between liking and disliking. However, those could easily be cut off if wanted. Anyway, easily the best $10 I've ever spent on a case.

Hey I see the listing color options are white, gray, or gold. What color did you get? I'm wondering if by "white" do they actually mean clear?

Yup, the white is actually clear. That's the one I bought.
My Nillkin is on its way from China. I'm excited to get it. I'm using the Ringke Fusion right now and I think the profile is slim along the edges but the extra thickness is killing me.
With the Nillkin should I look into getting a screen protector for the camera lens or does the case lip around the camera keep it from touching the surface?

Ballistic PERFECTION

This ballistic leather case is perfect. I've always preferred leather back covers. Always sacrificed protection, just because it was proffesional and classy looking. Burkley, Qialino, & Tetded basically I've had every flagship phone from Samsung and LG fir the last 4 years. I have 7 lines I pay for (wife & kids) so dammit I use all the upgrades, then pass phone down the line. Every 5 or 6 months when I get ready to get a new phone, I ALWAYS start looking to see if there is anyone else making something better...
This time BALLISTIC of all people had this leather case that interested me. They do an ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE job displaying the case on the website, they state it was their thinnest ever case, but in my mind it would be BALLISTIC huge. I took a chance and bought it. So glad I did.
First, it's thin. Super thin. Like perfect man. I had the Naked Tough and it's less obtrusive than that. Plus the still have their corners integrated in, and they do not look anything but stylish and flow well with the case. It's rated at 6ft like all there cases too. The lip, which is another area of contention for me with these leather back cages is the exact perfect size. Keeps my screen elevated very well if I sit it face down. Some cases I've had would elevate screen no more the high enough fir paper to move freely. That's pointless to me, a grain of sand would still scratch the hell out of it. Not this case. I'm telling you as far as security and protection go, I do not see how any slim case could do more than this. PERFECTION.
Now the leather. The ENTIRE back is leather. Just the bottom and top edges are rubber and they are a part of the piece that makes the corners. The leather and rubber blend SEAMLESSLY. I'm telling you I do not see how this could have been done any better. Ballistic says they used what they call a "buffalo leather" and it feels very supple, but is very durable thus far.
This case is dang near perfect. If you like classy leather backs, do yourself a favor, buy this.
Um, got pics? Link to their site for purchase?

Yea, let's see some "Real" pictures of this case.
I also believe that the leather is fake leather but still looks like an interesting case.
Well they say they are using "Prwmium" materials on this line. The call it Buffalo leather. I believe it's real. Get it on Ebay though. I paid 16 bucks. On Ballistics website it's 40
Please post some Pictures..............................
Pics or it didn't happen
On ebay chaise I saw would be about 30$ US

I don't see it for anywhere close to $16. The cheapest I see if $24, and other sellers are $30 to $40. If you really payed $16, I suspect you got a knock off.
Guess I'm just going to have to order so we can see some real pictures of this case.
Ordered one up, should have it by the end of the week. Not available for $16.00 though.
tiny70thomas is 100% correct about this case. Got it in today and I actually love the case. It adds hardly any bulk to the phone and feels great in the hand. The power/volume buttons are just as good as the Speck candyshell grip if not better. Not sure how much drop protection it would provide and it's nothing more then a thin rubber case with thick corners. I'm almost 100% sure the leather is not real but non the less it feels great. Here are some "Real" pictures of this Ballistic Urbanite base in Buffalo Leather. I like it !
I am sorry but that looks terrible....

No, actually it's a nice looking case.
No love at all for this Ballistic case?

It is alright but what kinda turns me off is the texture. If it was less coarse-looking, like the OEM Samsung leather case, it would've appealed to me more.
