[Official] Nexus 6 Accessory Thread

Amazon has Spigen cases already on the site but not yet available for sale.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_box_?k=Spigen+nexus+6

This link seems to work a little better:

http://amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=Spigen+nexus+6

Interesting to note that most of the cases have a release date of mid to late November. Wonder if that gives any indication of the actual release date of the phone (not the pre-order date, which is supposed to be October 29th last I heard).

And here comes the fun part....trying to figure which case I want. Spigen is definitely on the list.

As with any phone I get, I'm not really sure I want a case.

I tend to prefer the looks of phones without cases, and all my previous phones have been kept "naked". But then I think, 'all my previous phones have had replaceable backs, so if they get scuffed up it's simply a matter of replacing the back cover'.

All my current choices: Nexus 6, Sony Xperia Z3, and Moto X 2014 (if they ever get the LTE band situation on the Pure Edition straightened out) don't have replaceable backs, so this kind of gives me pause. I really don't want a case, but it might be necessary to help keep my new phone looking its best.

Not really concerned about dropping them - haven't had any issues with that in the past (although with the increasing size of these new phones, holding on to them might become an issue as well) - this is strictly from an aesthetic standpoint.

I am very impressed with Spigen cases. While I prefer no case, I have converted to all Spigen cases for each of my phones. The quality is terrific, Amazon discounts them, fit and finish is perfect without being bulky. That's very hard to beat. The high quality display glass & Oleophobic coating has been so durable, I've stopped using a screen protector.

If I get this phone,no case for me,this phone is big enough as-is.
Already kicked the screen protector habit about a year or two ago.

Plus,from all appearances,it's a looker,it'd be a shame to slap a case on it.

Trust me...I prefer not to use a case. This phone is too gorgeous but Im a paranoid dude and I baby my phones Lol. At least when Im home, I leave the phone naked.

If I'm traveling, I carry a powerful external 6300 mAh rechargeable.

It's a 2nd Gen Anker Astro1 battery that weighs only 4oz. Very small at 3.8"x1.8"x1.0" super handy because it will charge any of my phones twice.

It detects via intelligence how much charge to deliver and shuts off automatically. For only $21 on Amazon it's more than paid for itself over the last eleven months.

What I've noticed is my large phones like the Note 3, Find 7 etc are easier to grip securely because of their size.

I haven't dropped one either. However now that I said that, I'm jinxed and likely to drop one of my phones any minute now LOL

I have Spigen Neo-Hybrid cases on my phones.

They're of very high quality, a perfect fit, and look like they were created by the same designer that did the phone, no matter the brand.

Spigen has grown and excelled by leaps and bounds in the last few years, rapidly becoming a premier case maker, yet without charging a premier price.

Nearly too good to be true, everyone I know that's bought one is extremely happy with their case.

Get yours at Amazon they have the very best pricing and earliest inventory.

I usually go with the neo hybrids myself, this time I opted for the Slim Armor, it's stunning imho, it looks like the neo hybrid with a kickstand, I love that it's still very slim and form fitting with the n6 and the buttons are covered but I need the kickstand as a media hog. Now if only we could all find a stylus solution that can somehow be carried with the phone but out of the way when not needed.

Email every case maker and suggest they make cases that hold a stylus.
