Ok so i got my N6 back in November, and one thing that is clear to me is the fact that is phone is not a caseless phone or even a TPU phone...It is extreme fragile so much so that that I broke mine 4 days after having it naked, and someone broke their with the case that I had ordered off amazon the night I brought my phone...
Even my lifestyle a TPU case is probably not going to cut it for me so I'm looking for a really good Heavy Duty Case (tragic waste of a beautiful phone)
I found these on amazon Supcase and Poetic
The Supcase have pretty good review...none for the poetic...anyone have either one that can give me a bit of insight?
Please and thank you.
Ringke max? It's a two layer case and is pretty protective while providing a good value.

I actually have the Ringke Max on now, and its only a single layer protection, also the reason I want a new case is because someone reported breaking their screen with the Ringke on...It's probably would not have broke with if he had a TGSP on (not sure if he did actually, I'm just assume here)
Just wanted a full body case, cause I really don't think Motorola would replace my phone for free again if I broke it again lol :laugh:
**Edit**
Just saw that the Max is 2 layer...the hard layer is just built onto the soft...interesting design.

I've dropped my Nexus 6 at the gym with a Cruzerlite TPU case and it fell onto the steel leg on the bench press and it was fine. I thought it would have broken by how it fell but time and time again I'm surprised by TPU cases.

yea, and ordinarily I would be happy with just a tpu case, cause I don't like bulk in fact I dont even like cases on an expensive phone that looks great...but considering how I crack my screen with this phone the first time....I'm extremely cautious with this phone right now :crying:
I also have the Cruzerlite (best looking case so far) but it just dont feel safe enough for me. I just use a TPU and TG for the screen maybe that will be enough...

I've dropped many phones with a Cruzerlite and never broken a screen. I broke a tempered glass screen protector on my G3 but the phone was fine. Maybe I'm just lucky I can't stand bulky cases. I know how you feel because if I broke my screen I would be upset so I bought moto care just in case.

I wouldn't use the Neo Hybrid unless they fixed the extremely tight fit issue. My bumper broke in less than a week on my Spigen because of this and don't forget you can use that case with a skin. I posted pictures way back when this happened in the Spigen OP. The Slim armor is alright I still have mine because it wasn't worth paying for the shipping to return it.

I was in the USMC (got our back in 2012) so I know how it is. The field is never kind to phones, after I was in afghan my iPhone 3gs at the time managed to get sand under the screen
I have almost every case mention in this thread. I've posted pictures already but I will keep this short in sweet. Hands down best protection case is the Supcase, but it's extremely bulky. A much better option is the iblason slim. Provide excellent protection, probably 80% of the supcase, but nowhere near as bulky. I just left that case and now I'm using the S-Case because I wanted something smaller, I have moto care so if I break my phone I will get a new one. My new case will be here next week.... review to follow

Best Tempered glass screen Protector:

http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Screen-...+Oleophobic+-+Anti+Shatter+-+0.3mm+Ultra+Slim
I'm thoroughly enjoying my heavy duty supcase with the holster. For the past few years I've used wallet cases on my Galaxy notes. I m happy I went this route.
Recently had thoughts to buy case for OP3, was afraid to have it naked, especially the camera bump. Wasn't satisfied by any case. I used to have Nillkin Frosted case for my HTC One M7. Had it for 2 years, apart from small stains, nothing happened to it. I waited for long for Nillkin to sell cases for OP3. Before a week, they had a listing in their site. I'm from India, searched in ebay.in, and luckily there was one seller selling the black color of it. I didn't want to go for White, since it didn't look good with OP3's Graphite color in images. So went with Black, the rear part of the case has no words. It's the best material, plastic yet doesn't feel like that. Non-slippery. Along with the case was a screen protector called as the "Frosted Shield", not a tempered, but does well. I had used the same for M7 for a period of time. Very slim case, covers the camera bump, has perfect holes for all the buttons, and for the alert slider too. Doesn't affect the 3.5mm jack or the speaker holes. Go for it, if you want a slim reliable plastic case.
I bought from: http://www.ebay.in/itm/361625112523
Have attached photos of the case, do have a look at it. Hit the Thanks, if the post was helpful. Thank you!
Great! Bought the same one in champagne through aliexpress two weeks ago. So probably 2 more weeks to wait, haha.

Can you please share the aliexpress link you used to order this???
I ordered mine on this link
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Onep...neplus-3-Oneplus3-A3000-with/32687032486.html
it take a little more than two weeks (which is good from china) but the case was a little deformed on one side, the plastic retail case was crushed too so it might come from the shipping. Anyway, the seller agreed to send another one so I can still use the one I received while waiting for the new one.
I really like the frosted nillkin case. I bought one for someone in my family for a honor 6 and I really liked it.
I might add that the as seen on the pictures, the case protect all corner.
this one is a little cheaper
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...-OnePlus-3-Smartphone/518045_32697306144.html
as in google use the proper keyword on aliexpress, "oneplus 3 nillkin -film -glass" to have all nillkin product except protective film and glass.
This is the only case I like so far, does anybody try it with some tempered glass?
I'm thinking ordering this case, and Orzly tempered glass, hope it will fit. If someone did try this combo, please let me know.

I was thinkig of ordering nillking tempered glass, but its not from edge to edge, thats why I order Orzly.
I had nillking tempered glass on one plus one and it was great.
The touch feeling with the nillkin tempered glass is very good but the edges are just the same of the screen... 0 millimeters larger than the screen. When you install it, don't shiver

I have been a loyal Nillkin Frosted case user for all of my phone's (too many to count) for the last 3 years. Can't recommend them enough. However, I purchased the Karbon case from OnePlus and have to admit that I like it even more. It is a little thinner than the Nillkin case, but feels and looks even better. I really suggest those who don't mind spending a little more to consider it as well.

The official karbon case is made of kevlar so it's tough and lightweight but the camera cut out is a little odd, anyway it was sold out when I ordered my OP3. Is it soft when touching the case?
The nillkin frosted case is great and cheap, only my work iphone 6 don't have it because of the logo cut out on the back.
TPU cases are my favorite due to being safer from a drop but does add a little bit more of a layer but the also help not feeling the phone getting too hot
My arriverd today, so here are more pictures
https://imgur.com/a/kT2AD
Still waiting tempered glass from Ozrly to arrive, but i doubt it will fit.
Got this case today and I have to say I absolutely love it!
Normally I don't even use cases on phones -ever- because I hate the extra bulkiness that cases usually give, but I'm really satisfied with this case.
Doesn't really add any bulk to it whatsoever, the case itself feels reallly good and it's awesome that the camera is protected aswell, so no more worrying about putting the phone down.
Curious....this case looks extremely thin. I use a magnetic car cradle. Would I be able to slide the thin piece of metal between the back of the phone and case? Or is the case just plain too thin?
Great case was a bit sceptical at first but since installation I haven't removed it yet. Two thumbs up :good::good:

Did you get it already?
By champagne you mean the golden version of it?
The golden one would fit nicely with the golden 1+3.
But is it the same type of gold as on the 1+3?

how do you like the nillkin tempered glass? Does it fit well with the case? any rainbow effect or anything like that? And does it cover the whole screen or is there a bit of a gap on the edges?

hey i know this thread is pretty old, but did you end up buying the nillkin case and the orzly tempered glass? How do you like the combination? I'm looking at getting this case and I've heard that the Orzly tempered glass screen protector doesn't fit with it.
I really like the Spigen Rugged Armor Case for OP3 - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
But I'm worried the tempered glass i want to get won't go well with it. The Yootech one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A3KGQHS00G2MDY
Should i just go for a regular screen protector since the case already has some leap in front? Like the ArmorSuit one - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...A3LQSX85N730QN
Need to order them soon. Replies will be appreciated.
I had the non TG from yootech and it was trash. Didn't stick well left tons of adhesive on the top of screen protector after peeling the top layer off.
Still waiting for something with decent reviews, but now I don't even have the OEM protector on.

I am worried about those tempered glass protectors to be honest. Anything that causes air bubbles or rainbow effect, i will rip off quickly i'm sure
I'm probably just going to get another plastic screen protector and use that til a good TG one comes out. I really like the rugged armor case too and don't plan to use anything else except maybe the neo hybrid spigen case.

I am in the same situation here in India. Bought the spigen rugged armor case. Liked it so much that I'm still Sticking to the stock plastic scratch guard. But I believe no tempered glass would work fine with this case. Any ideas?
Yep i'm in the same boat. Currently using spigen with stock screen protector as well. I usually dont care about the front glass as I am with the back but I recently found some people had their display broke so i'm a bit nervous about that.

I went with The Spigen Neo Hybrid as i got a plastic screen protector. So i hope the sturdier case will compensate.

I would get that, but don't want to lose even 5mm of screen space. It's not a big deal, but it would annoy me.
The phone feels and looks great with the Rugged Armor case so I don't wanna buy another just so I can use Tempered Glass. I'd just keep the OEM protector on until TG compatible with this case comes out.

This is why i opted for the Neo Hybrid instead of the TPU Rugged Armor. Because i need more protection if i got only a plastic protector on.
I know this thread is pretty old but any luck in finding a Tempered Glass screen protector that plays nice with the rugged admor case? I still can't find one that seems to be compatible.
The icheckey is fine, and there are two in the pack. I got mine from Amazon.

I've had my Ringke Fusion case for a while now and I wanted to try out new case like the Supcase with the buit-in Screen Protector. However, I have already installed a tempered glass screen protector on my phone. My question is, could I still use the case without using the built-in screen protector? I know there is another type of supcase case that doesn't have a built in screen protector but I just don't feel the clear back anymore. Hope someone would give me some info about my concern. Would highly appreciate if you give your thoughts about the case as well. Thanks!

I have this case. The built in screen protector looks easy enough to remove cleanly. I'd imagine the phone would fit, possibly snug, inside the case.
Do you have tempered glass installed on your N5X?
Hey, I don't have a 5x, but I have a 6p with this same brand of case, and I have it installed over my intelliglass tempered screen protector. I just took a razor blaze and removed the plastic screen protector from the case. As long as you don't rush it, it removes just fine without leaving any of the plastic screen behind. Fits great over the tempered glass too. I'm going to be buying a 5x for my mom soon cause she needs a new phone to replace her cheap $50 crappy straight talk phone, and I'm gonna be buying a tempered glass screen protector and i-Blason case for it (very similar to the unicorn beetle pro) and I'll be doing the same thing with that one.
I normally buy an OEM case for my phones but so far I am not over taken by the offerings on the Google store.
So do you normally get a case for your phone? If so which one?
Or do you not bother with a case and just go "vanilla"?
Let me know your thoughts and if you can lets see some pictures of your case if you have one.
I usually just get the google case. Don't go "vanilla". If you drop it you'll probably have to pay more than triple of what the case just cost from the beginning.

Spigen Liquid Air now and probably will buy a Matte Black dbrand Grip later. I bought a black leather skin with my Pixel 6 Grip case, but the skin it's so thin and isn't very durable. The Grip case itself is great.
I went with the Caseology Athlex. I am a bit hard on phones, so I will probably get a UAG case as well if/when they come out with some more selection than the Scout. They always have my favorite cases as they offer good protection with a slim profile.
Edit: I cancelled my order and ordered the UAG Scout...

I don't like the notch for the camera, but it has the oleo-phobic coating.
I have been really happy with the "Poetic" cases from Amazon. They started copying the Supcase Unicorn Beetle's and now design their own. Excellent protection. I also had an issue with one and they sent me 2 for free with no hassle.

How much thickness does the case and screen add on?
Quite a bit. That model is not petite.
Are there any cases with inbuilt stands besides Spigen and the cheap aliexpress options?
I'm unfamiliar with the 'Poetic Revolution' cases - are they as durable as Spigen?
I'm getting a Gadgetsdhieldz screen guard and Spigen Thin Fit Case! Hope this will be a good fit...
Caseology Parallax looks and feels great on this device, if anyone is curious about one. I've always been a Spigen user, but the grip and colorway on this case have won me over.
Ordered the Spigen rugged case and glass protector off Amazon.
I got a Spigen Thin Fit Case in black for now.
The case may well change in the coming weeks.
