Anyone with the variety of clear cases care to chime in on what they recommend? I'm leaning towards the spigen ultra hybrid. Mainly due to the name brand but curious of some others out there. I ordered a frost and want to show off the styling! I know clear cases can be iffy so wanted some opinions.

I think there are a lot of threads on cases but I also appreciate the idea that it's sometimes hard to sift through them all.
I'll sum one up for you - The Nillkin Nature TPU case seems to be very popular. You have to order it from Hong Kong on eBay. I got mine and it is GREAT with one serious flaw in my opinion. It has a plastic flap over the USB power port. It is 100% TPU and very thin, adds almost nothing to the phone. That in turn means it doesn't afford a lot of protection. It does come in a clear version. I got the grey version for my Graphite 6P and cut off the USB power port flap. This makes it slightly imperfect which bugs me a bit. USB flap aside, it's a great case.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I was hesitant start a new convo for it cause I know there are a lot of general case posts, but I thought since clear cases are a thing of their own, itd be nice to have a go to post for those of us interested in them.

I have the Spigen ultra hybrid. Solid case - doesn't feel flimsy like other clear TPU cases. The lip is slightly raised on the front so that the screen wouldn't touch the surface when face down. This case had an issue in the beginning where it looked like there was a small crack near the fingerprint sensor opening (not a crack but it looks like one). They may have fixed it since then. The only complaint i have is that the entire camera black bar is exposed with this case instead of just the area where the lens and laser focus are.
I've tried Spigen ultra hybrid and the neo hybrid ex. Case-mate is the best one. There is a convo about it in the Spigen Neo hybrid ex post.

Yeah the whole opening of the black bar I didn't like as well as the like square outline on the back. Otherwise it looked pretty nice. I ended up going with this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0168DHS1Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_CFuGwbXHQ21PE. Looks minimal, easy to take on and off, and slim. We'll see. I wanted to have a case here ready for my phone so needed a prime option. I'll post back on my opinion when I get on the phone.

Just got an Orzly Fusion Bumper case (or something like that). Very nice clear case, boutons are not covered which is very nice, and there is a black color on the sides which mean when you look at screen, edges are also black
Don't know if sides are transparent on other black-sided cases (like Ringke smoke black) but here, it's not.
Any clear case with a logo on it is an instant no-buy for me.
I'm happy with my redSHIELD clear case (Amazon Link)
It's one of the few I found that doesn't have a logo *anywhere* on it. It's a good clear TPU case for the money (likely the same case Orzly uses for its Flexicase). The only minus point is that the power and volume buttons are a bit squishy and harder to press than the actual buttons, but I rarely need to press them.
I am quite happy with the Ringke fusion clear case, it doesn't have the best compatibility with skins like Dbrand or Slickwraps because it has a snug fit but it lets you cut layouts to put between the phone and the case much like the old Nokia 3100
This is slightly unrelated, but how do you guys carry around your nexus 6p with these clear cases? I mean in the pocket? I have the spigen clear case and the case is fine, but every time I slide the phone in my pocket it gets a lot of lint on the front exposed side of the phone. Maybe a wallet style case ?

Maybe wash your pants better? Sorry. Seriously, I use the Spigen Ultra Hybrid with my phone, and have never had a problem with lint. Out of curiousity, do you use a screen protector? That may help as well.

I don't know if it will help against the lint, but the screen protector is always a good idea. My phone screen is lint free with a SP on it. Lint does accumulate in the gap between SP and case. Some ppl get lint in camera holes, but I haven't.

I love my Spigen Ultra Hybrid.
Nillkin Nature for me! Good for protection in your pockets against debris, not for drops though!
Supcase is nice. A little stiff but it looks nice and is more protective than most of the clears I believe. And the ringke fusion is really nice and softer. It looks great but a bit thinner than the supcase. I have them both.
Famous brand always have high quality but designers won't pay much attention to customers,if they can hear our voices,it will be great!
I've got a Ringke smoke black one. No problems.
Today I just picked up a mint condition Moto X 2014, customized on top of customized. Black face with black front accents and a bamboo back with a silver frame and silver rear accents. I couldn't ask for a better color combination. Now I'm having trouble picking out a case. Of course I want the bamboo to show, but I also want to keep the metal from getting dinged up. And even more so, I want to protect the glass edges on the front. I'd like to get a bumper, but Hula is the only backless rubber bumper I've found. Unfortunately, nobody has them in black at the moment, and I don't like the colors that are currently available. I also don't like the look of the 100% clear rubber cases on a black face.
So, has anybody tried one of the metal bumpers found all over eBay? I like the look but I'm concerned that a metal bumper on the metal frame would cause scratches. Or even worse, if the metal bumper were to abrade against the wood back there could be scratches or gouges in the finish. Any experience or opinions here?
Also, does anybody know of a rubber bumper case with an open back besides the Hula? Or even better, a rubber case that has black edges and a full clear back? I'll probably end up getting a Supcase Unicorn Beetle for now because that's as close as I can find. But the back of the Supcase is opaque, not fully clear, and it has colored grip areas that intrude into the wood space on the sides of the back. I looked at the Poetic Affinity, but that looks too industrial for me. Especially when compared to the seriously awesome look of the naked Moto. I know I probably sound absurdly picky, but we're talking about a phone where one of it's most touted features is the ability to customize it, right?
Oh, and I tried to search the Accessories forum, but the search bar seems to be missing on my screen. So I spent the last 4 hours manually searching through the threads here and cross-referencing them with Google. If anybody has any ideas, suggestions or input, I'd be very happy to hear it. Especially if it involves customizing of accessories.

I have the same color combination on my phone.
I have the SUPCASE, black surround with frosted back. The actual frosting on mine is very slight, almost perfectly clear.
I also found this case on Amazon which might fit your needs:

I am currently using a Case-mate Gelli Case for Moto X. Same as this case sold through the Motorola store but I bought it through Ebay for much less:

I like this case a little better than the other because it fits in my holster better and just feel better in my hand but it does not offer the same level of protection as the others.

This one appears to have a black edge with a clear back which would be PERFECT if I could find it for sale anywhere. The Motorola site doesn't have any, the Case-mate site doesn't even list the Gelli series for our phone, and there's none to be found on eBay or Amazon. If you, or anyone else knows where I can get one, I'd be extraordinarily thankful. Or perhaps if someone on here has one to sell, I'm all ears.
Hi guys,
I finally got around to doing a review on the Moko Heavy Duty Case for my 6P. I ordered this on amazon.ca. I've rocked this case for about a week now since I did that video, and I am pleasantly surprised.
The cutouts are precise, and the case does not look or feel cheap. The fingerprint scanner is easy to use still as well. The plastic is pretty soft, and I don't think it would stay on on its own without the black shell, but it does fit perfectly. Also, didn't notice much pocket lint or anything else sticking to it like some have reported. Overall it's a great option for a more rugged case for the Nexus 6P, especially here in Canada, where the options can be sparse. Here's the link from amazon.

11 bucks plus tax, and since I have PRIME, also got free 2 day shipping. Yes, I have a compulsive online shopping problem...
I will also post reviews for my Spigen Rugged Armour and a Poetic Revolution cases shortly.

I've got one in blue but I don't use it anymore. It's a pretty nice case and the quality is fantastic I just wish they would stop putting those huge bumps on the back for no reason. They serve absolutely no purpose and double the thickness of the phone. They do this on these cases for all phones and just still makes no sense.

You might be interested in this CoverON case, which has no such huge bumps on the back. It has an unusual 3-piece design, with a hard plastic piece that snaps on from the front of the phone (in addition to the usual one from the back), locking the soft TPU in place in the middle. I'm quite happy with the build quality, and because of the design it seems like possibly the toughest case you can get that (a) still looks even remotely normal and (b) doesn't have an integrated plastic screen protector, making it easy to add a tempered-glass one of your own. (Note, though—I have an IntelliArmor "case-friendly" TGSP, and it fits perfectly but with absolutely no room to spare. Full-coverage TGSPs will definitely interfere with the TPU at the edges of the screen, although because of the way the case fits together you might be able to get them to nestle nicely under it without lifting up.)

I have the black version. Based on the pictures on Amazon the colors looked like they'd be pretty in-your-face, especially since the highlight color is visible directly around the edges of the screen. I'm afraid I don't have any holsters—I've never used one.
I realize, I forgot to mention the most important thing! The headphone and USB-C cutouts on this case, as shipped, are not large enough for most cables. The stock USB-C cable fits but scuffs the sides, many high-quality third-party cables won't, and the only headphone plugs that will fit are the super-tiny ones that some headphones have for exactly this reason. But! If you have a decent utility knife, some courage, and a steady hand, it's possible to enlarge the cutouts without messing up the case. (I cut away a tiny bit of the TPU near the jacks as well, since it was being deformed when plugging in a cable.) With this done it works beautifully—the case is even thin enough to use a Square credit-card reader in the headphone jack.
Disclaimer: I received this product for free in exchange for an unbiased review.
I received a Diztronic Voyeur Series case for the Nexus 6P and after using it for approximately two weeks, I wanted to share my thoughts.
PACKAGING:
The voyeur case arrived in a brown Diztronic box. Not too much to be impressed with, but the box held the product nicely. Inside the box, Diztronic bubble wrapped their case for extra protection during shipping. Once I opened the box and unwrapped the bubble wrap, there were a total of 3 protective films over my case. One film coated the clear plastic on the inside and was a bit of a hassle to get off. At first, I thought there was just one film on the outside which removed very easily. I used the case for a week, but I received several scratches all over the back of the clear backing. I reached out to support and they immediately responded to my photos of the scratches with a simple solution: I still had another clear film on the outside of the clear backing. I felt like a complete idiot, and once I removed this THIRD protective film, all scratches disappeared. The case felt better after all protective films were removed. In all, packaging was great, but could have been better with instructions since there were so many protective films on the case that others like myself may not expect.
FIT:
My 6P slid right inside the case. The case fits perfectly. Not too tight and not loose at all. The case feels solid on the phone and great in hand. All cut outs are awesome. The headphone and USB-C cutouts are both square, and I have not had an issue with either. The volume buttons are covered together and marked with a plus and minus sign. The power button is also covered but has the standard power symbol on the button. I have had ZERO issues with the buttons. The buttons are great and clicky and after using other brands of cases, I prefer this Diztronic design. Down from the side buttons, there is a Diztronic brand imprint. It is not overly visible nor does it interfere with the nice design of the case. The front of the case does have a lip which is a necessity for me. On the back, the camera cutout is open for the lens, flash, autofocus, etc. Nothing crazy in terms of design here, just the usual oval cutout design. The fingerprint scanner cutout is perfect in my opinion and not too large like other companies. In my experience using the case, I did not have an issue finding the fingerprint cutout. The clear back is not as slippery as the phone naked and the case remains ultra slim. On the bottom of the back of the case, there are little legs which really makes this case stand out. These little legs on the back of the case help to keep your phone level when laying on its back. I am sure this also helps prevent scratching, but after using this case now, I still have no scratches or marks whatsoever which is amazing for a clear backed case. I have used other brands where the clear became foggy/scratched/or had other imperfections, but this is not the case with the new Voyeur series.
PROS:
- INCREDIBLE design for the price
- Completely scratch-free after using case for 2 weeks
- tiny legs on back of case keep phone flat
- extra slim case that offers great protection
- clicky and tactile button covers
- all cutouts aligned correctly
- BEAUTIFUL product!
CONS:
- You might have several protective films over the clear plastic back. If you have any scratches or marks, reach out to Diztronic support and they can help you!
FINAL THOUGHTS:
So should you spend your hard earned $11.95 on this case? ABSOLUTELY. On a scale of 1-10, I award this case with a SOLID 10. After I used a RhinoShield bumper for 2 weeks, and then a Poetic Affinity case for a month, this case is everything! The plastic will not scratch, and I feel like my phone is protected. I do not have to worry about any marks to my device and while protecting the device, I can show off my favorite 6P color: gold! If you prefer slim but protective cases, please give the Diztronic Voyeur Series a try. They have amazing customer support and their products focus on consumer feedback. :good:

Horrible back design.
It is a great case. I have it too. But the only issue is the device has play inside the case. Look at the fingerprint sensor and the hole cut out for the fingerprint sensor. It is always off,....never center like the spigen or the other distronic case.

My 6P does not have any play inside of the case at all. It fits like a glove. On the Poetic Affinity, my phone constantly shifted inside the case... I am not sure if you just got a lemon or if I got lucky lol. As far as the fingerprint cutout, its exactly centered as it should be. I just received Diztronic's latest revision though last month so I am not sure if that has anything to do with the fingerprint sensor cutout being more precise. I seriously cannot find anything off with my case.
I have both versions of the Affinity case and neither had any give inside. I do agree w/ joooe that this case's design isn't my cup of tea but I do love Diztronic cases. Used them for other devices. I've always loved the material Diztronic uses on their TPU cases. One thing I do not like about this case is the "legs" on the bottom. I've never liked those things on any smart device case. I guess you can consider that the Affinity cases have "legs" on them as well but the design makes it less obtrusive and part of the overall design instead of just jutting out on the corners.

oohh the legs are one of my favorite features of this Diztronic case. I think the design of this case is minimal and I really like the overall design. The tpu material feels great in hand.
On the subject of the Poetic case, I was completely disappointed. I even reached out to their support and they refused to even acknowledge that my case was no good. The case did not fit my 6P snug at all. I had probably 1-2 mm of extra space inside the case from the top of my 6p to the inside of the Affinity case. I could literally rock my phone back and forth inside the case. It was ridiculous. That was the last straw for me with Poetic. The first issue I had with the Affinity was that they mailed me the old design with all the logos all over it. I had to ask them to send me the revised model without the logos. Of course they did that, but would not replace the faulty case that now sits in my closet since I received this Voyeur case.
Yeah, I had the original design and when I learned of the new one, just emailed them and they sent me new one for free. I was very happy with the revised version and currently using it now. All of us just get lemons sometimes.

I ditched Spigen's Ultra Hybrid for this, haven't been disappointed yet. I even removed my dbrand (carbon) skin and went naked, but I'm thinking to slap a leather/matte skin, loving the case.
i don't know why, but my back came scratched out of the box. I haven't scratched it myself, but the scratch it came with has bugged me a bit since i got it. aside from that, i didn't like the plastic back at first as it feels slippery if your hands ever sweat. but i got used to it, and i love this case. and i own a lot of cases LOL.
rhinoshield
verus
all google cases
and many more amazon cases, until i got this one. the diztronic case was my last, and favorite case of all.
Someone mentioned that there's multiple protectors on the clear area so see if you need to peel those layers off
Just got my Incipio dualpro midnight blue case from NewEgg ($15).
Thought I would upload a few pics for anyone interested and give my two cents.
I chose this case because of the two layers = better protection. The outer layer is smooth, and the areas that aren't covered by the hard outer plastic are smooth as well, thus it'll go in and out of pockets reasonably well.
The inner plastic is harder than I expected, but I've never used a case on any of my phones in 6 years
The inner layer didn't seem to want to come out of the outer layer that easily so I didn't force it. I just pushed the phone into the whole case. It went in easy enough. After it was on the phone the outer hard layer peeled off easily for easy removal of the phone.
All the holes line up perfect. However the USB-C Port hole is just wide enough for the cable shipped with the phone thus some adapters I have won't fit.
Of course the buttons are now harder to press. Some reviews said it was very hard, they aren't IF you press the buttons squarely straight on, but if you squeeze the phone to push the buttons then they seem very hard. So, it's more of an angle thing when pushing the buttons.
Most of the case doesn't flex/move when you squeeze the phone, but the area where the buttons are does as there's no hard plastic in that area. So a screen protector needs to be just slightly into the black bezel on the side, about 0.5mm imo. I won't be using a screen protector....
I wasn't sure about the color until I seen a review of the same case for the Note 8 on YouTube. It's a nice dark blue with a slight shine at an angle. From a distance it looks black. It looks much better than the pictures on Amazon or NewEgg.
Personally I don't think it adds that much thickness but it certainly isn't the slimmest case possible but I'll take the 10 foot drop protection instead! Hey, it's still smaller that my Moto X Pure
I can see it will collect dust and stuff around the edges, and like I've read elsewhere, it's probably wise to put a micro fiber cloth on the back of the phone inside the case so that any grit that gets in there won't scratch up the back..... If you want to go that far.
Almost forgot..... The all important effect on signal. I read one reviewer say it dampened signal noticeable. Not in my case. I actually seem to have gotten an improvement. I was usually sitting at -96dBm and now it looks stable at -93dBm or better. I did notice when testing signal that how I held the phone affected the signal..... So who knows.... :laugh:
If anyone has questions feel free to ask.
I have the smoke clear incipio and love it. Paired with my iq shield screen protector, im set. I buy incipio for everything
I've had this one in black since I got the phone and the Tudia Glost and I always come back to this one. Best case for this phone in my opinion.

If you use the 360 camera more often like me then this case is what you need, and you don't have to take your case off to attach the camera. I have Tudia case bought from Amazon and it's a very good case if you don't have the camera.

I just got the same midnight blue case today, and it is very nice. I wasn't quite sure what the color would look like since it's advertised as being irridescent, but there's no sparkle to it at all, which I appreciate. I also have Incipio's smoke TPU case, which is nice, but a horrible greasy fingerprint magnet, and I have the Poetic carbon fiber case, which is a great size and feels great in the hand, but it's kind of cheesy looking, in my opinion. I will agree that the inner layer of the DualPro is stiff. My wife has had DualPro cases on her phones for years, and they've all had a very soft rubber inner liner with easy to press buttons. I don't know why they changed that for the Essential case. I'm probably going to slit the buttons with a sharp knife. That's always helped on other stiff cases.

I will agree that the inner layer of the DualPro is stiff. My wife has had DualPro cases on her phones for years, and they've all had a very soft rubber inner liner with easy to press buttons. I don't know why they changed that for the Essential case. I'm probably going to slit the buttons with a sharp knife. That's always helped on other stiff cases.

Don't cut the buttons. I took off the TPU and worked the buttons with my thumbs for a few minutes and they are significantly softer.

I just got this Dualpro blue case for my essential phone and i love it! Thanks to the OP for the pictures it made me choose the blue color. It looks much much better than what they show before you buy the case. It also provides excellent protection. The only thing i don't like is that the side buttons are a bit stiff but i guess they will soften up the more i use them. Overall i recommend this dualpro case.

The pics on the web for the midnight blue are truly horrible representations.
Take the TPU off the phone and really massage/push/bend the buttons on the case for a few minutes.... That'll soften them up!

The blue is very very close to Black. I would have chosen that color if they didn't make Black. I like the contrast between the Black and the White

I wanted the black as well but the price went up drastically right after the Amazon sale then it went out of stock and I couldn't find one.... Just after I got the blue Rakuten had the black for the same price. ?
I like the contrast of yours as well!

I've had this Incipio on every phone I've owned that they supported. This is the most I've ever paid for the case, normally they are $5 or $10 off Amazon or eBay. I had to pay almost $20 for this one on Amazon. I sold 2 of the 3 essential I got from prime day so I basically got the phone, USB C PD car charger, and case for free anyways.

I should have picked up a couple more phones.... Wasn't thinking!

Yeah, if I knew I'd like the device I'd have bought two or three. As it stands I like the one I have..... a lot.

I've had this one in black since I got the phone and the Tudia Glost and I always come back to this one. Best case for this phone in my opinion.

Thanks, had to decide between the Tudia and the Incipio model and I will now be going for the Incipio case!
Just got my essential phone and ordered the incipio dualpro. Any recommendations for glass protectors that would suit the incipio dualpro case? I intend to use loca for the installation. Thank in advance
All, recently bought this phone during Prime Day. Too good of a deal to miss! It looks beautiful but very wary of it staying that way so based on your various experiences what would you say is the best slimline case? The Incipio looks good but does add quite a bit of bulk to the phone...

this screen seems extremely fragile based on videos on youtube, posts on reddit and xda etc. For a phone that hasn't sold too well, it seems like there's a lot of broken screens out there. This made me decide to go for the incipio dualpro, hopefully with the additional protection, i'll be able to keep the screen intact!

I'm not sure what people are doing to their phones. I have a cheap tpu case and a plastic screen protector.
