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.
 
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."
 
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...
 
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"?
 
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.
