i use it with NFC stickers around the house, paired with Trigger I can do all sorts of automation:
There's also this battery for the Note II. And I guess you could get the 64GB model and add a 64GB microSD card for 128GB (which is still half of what this guy has).

Spigen Rugged Armor Galaxy S7 Edge Case with Resilient Shock Absorption and Carbon Fiber Design for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge 2016 - Black
Love it. Very nice design, and good protection. It does take 1-2 mm from the edge screen on both sides but I dont care. you can't notice it.
See update here which includes a Ringke case review:
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS8/comments/6a6syd/update_four_thin_cases_reviewed_1/
Original post:
Top to bottom:
I've been trying out these four thin cases. In the image you can see my S8 face down in each case, with a Verizon tempered glass screen protector on. You can see the edge of it, a white line which curves downward at each end.
I'm thinking of removing the screen protector, so I took these photos to see which case would provide the most protection when the S8 is face down without a screen protector. The Spigen has a raised lip at the top and bottom of the case that just barely keeps the screen protector off the surface below. The Maxboost lips are about even with the screen protector. The Bear Motion lips barely rise above the S8 screen, and there are no lips on the elago.
The Spigen is the most robust case and is the biggest weighing 18 grams, has a raised lip around the camera for extra protection (you can see it in the bottom picture), has space for a metal plate for a magnetic car mount (if you like that sort of thing), and is made of a grippy matte material. Definitely this feels like the case with the most protection. Very nice.
The Maxboost is slightly smaller than the Spigen and weighs 17 grams. It's matte material is a bit less grippy and the buttons aren't as easy to press because the openings aren't cut away like the Spigen. There is no raised lip for the camera. I like it though because it is slightly smaller than the Spigen.
The Bear Motion is made of a sandy feeling matte material that provides great grip. It is about the same size as the Maxboost but only weighs 13 grams and has cut-away button openings and a very small raised lip for the camera. I like it too!
The elago is extremely thin, weighing only 5 grams. It is barely bigger than the phone itself. It is so thin that mine got a small rip near the power button on the right when I was taking it on and off, and the left side is slightly loose, not as snug as the right. Buttons are easy to press as they actually protrude beyond the sides of the case! It is matte, grippy but not quite as grippy as the others. It also has a small raised lip for the camera. It feels great in the hand but doesn't give confidence as it has no protection to speak of except for scratches and fingerprints.
Although size-wise the Spigen is my least favorite, I may end up using it because it inspires the most confidence, seems like it might do better in a drop situation, while protecting the screen better when the phone is face down due to having the largest top and bottom lips, and also the biggest lip around the camera.
I've used Spigen for my last 3 or 4 phones. The Rugged Armor has been great for my s7 edge. It's slightly thinner than Neo Hybrid, and only slightly thicker than the Thin Fit since it sits in front of the bezel on top and bottom.
They make both kinds. Here's the full back and case/battery for my note 2 :http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BYEMNA6/ref=pd_aw_sbs_10?pi=AC_SY230_QL60
For those who are unfamiliar with the product, here it is on Amazon. It's an aftermarket battery for the LTE/CDMA Galaxy Nexus (Verizon, Sprint) that has three times the capacity of the standard battery.
ZeroLemon recommends that you condition the battery before real-world usage by draining it fully six times which I've done over the past week. The manufacturer also recommends that you only recharge the phone once you reach 2% even after conditioning the battery for "optimal use."

Here are some other test results taken on previous days:
Problems:
Conclusion:
Despite the product's flaws, I'm very happy with its performance and would recommend it to anyone who hasn't already upgraded to a better phone. Instead of having to juggle between three extended batteries during the day or remembering to disable 4G LTE to save battery life, I can use the phone with all the features enabled without having to worry about making it through the day. It currently costs ~$40 on Amazon which I find reasonable considering that Samsung's 2100mAh extended battery is being sold for ~$15.
I use this case http://www.amazon.com/Unicorn-Beetle-Full-body-Protective-Protector/dp/B00JW7APWU
and really like it. It has a screen cover case that is attached to the case with an adhesive and is easily removable if you don't like it.
How about something like this? Haven't used it but it has a cord.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AW2QT8I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 <-- works for me
I'm using this - battery usually lasts 2-3 days of moderate use without recharging. http://www.amazon.com/warranty-ZeroLemon-Guarantee-Compatible-ZL-i515-black-5900/dp/B00AZZOH04
EDIT: Yes. It's big. But it comes with its own case, and works beautifully. The cheap price and 180 day guarantee is incredibly nice. So far, 5 months in, I've had no need to even think of the warranty.
I guess I am the only one who feels this way. I like my S8 with this case on better than the naked phone. I hate the feel of glass.
Seriously! I would have used... oh I don't know.... one of the many, many, many fucking options out there if it wasn't for this idiot spamming...
This is the first time I've ever cracked a screen, but you're right. I'm gonna give this guy a go before I get an otterbox.
Get the zerolemon 5900.

I have the Tudia CYDGEN case for my OPO, and I love it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NJBVHIG/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_2?pf_rd_p=1944687702&amp;pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&amp;pf_rd_t=201&amp;pf_rd_i=B00LWSRVN8&amp;pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&amp;pf_rd_r=03N1W519MADCZ4D3GSEJ
Raised edge around the screen, TPU, extruded buttons, holes for all mics and speakers and stuff. Great case.
I'm using mine with an ORZLY Tempered Glass protector as well.
I've got a lot of cases, some expensive ones, but I always go back to this
Spigen Liquid Air iPhone 7 Plus Case with Durable Flex and Easy Grip Design for iPhone 7 Plus 2016 - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GIWG3D6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_XE9BybKBBJ32R
I have this slim maxboost case an honestly, I love it. It's incredibly thin, fits well and has held up since release really well. 10/10 recommend it. It's only $10
Something like NFC Stickers?
Out of the box the 6P has a saturated screen color. If you prefer a more natural color turn on Developer Options and go to:
Settings > Developer Options > Picture Color Mode
and turn on Use sRGB.
You have a multi-colored notification light at the top left of the phone. To make it display in different colors you'll need an app. I like Light Manager.
Your finger print scanner is going to be your new bestie. many apps that require logins now support the scanner. Lastpass and a ton of banking apps come to mind.
NFC works well (though you need to remember it's located right at the top in the visor on the back. I use a bunch of little NFC tags and NFC Tools to have the phone open Android Auto in my car and to open a shopping list when I tap it against one of my cupboards in the kitchen.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01A7IDCC2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I use this one on my S7 Edge. I think it's probably close to what you are looking for. It's got kind of a rubber/grippy texture to it and I love it, never have a problem with it slipping out of my hand. It's definitely a slim fit so not a ton of protection but I rarely if ever drop my phone so just wanted something with basic protection and good grip.
Edit: Found an S7 version:

The one by Spigen works out pretty well
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugged-Resilient-Absorption-Carbon/dp/B01M0HW9P4
I had this case for more than a year, survived plenty of drops and it still looks pristine
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M0HW9P4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
like this?
I would actually recommend the zero lemon battery and case. The added size is worth the tradeoff for that massive battery.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AZZOH04/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1394762715&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=SY200_QL40
I had a Spigen case on mine and dropped it, shattered the screen. I think it hit a rock. now I have the "Unicorn Beetle" from SupCase which I think protects better, it's got a full rubber surround, like a Defender, but it's thinner and the rubber is less prone to stretch and get ruined.
I use the Spigen thin fit case. It looks good, isn't bulky, and has a lip on the front. Only small drawback is the headphone hole is sized for most consumer headphones and since I wanted to use studio headphones (ATH M50), I had to take a drill and carve out a bit at the bottom. It works great now though.
Amazon link
I'm using this one, after installing it you can see a bit of a matrix of dots, but only when off-angle and when the screen is off. Doesn't show in normal use with the screen on. Definitely worth the £9, knowing that OnePlus doesn't have the best customer service reputation. I'm using the OtterBox case that OnePlus has on their site, the screen protector works fine with it.

What are the yellow parts on your phone?
You can find a good selection of covers for your controllers on amazon. Some look ridiculous but should keep you from breaking them.
For example
Also, for anyone who doesn't have a 3d printer, you can buy almost the same thing on Amazon.

They're garbage, though. My tracking went to shit after putting them on.
I have this one, it's a bit more minimalistic:

Pitaka MagCase
The Pitaka is by far the case I use the most. The $10 car mount that the case works with is fantastic. If anyone wants to buy I can share a code to save you 10%. I like slim cases and I have a full coverage loca screen protector installed too, InvisShield.
If you just want a case, I suggest this. I buy this case for every phone I can, it's slim and very comfortable to hold.
If you want more pronounced buttons, Spigen has a near identical model.
I personally went with the spigen slim armor. It's a bit slippery but I'm confident in it's non-dramatic drop protection. The Unicorn Beetle PRO seems like a really good protective case as well
Just got this one today....

Like it so far, it's like my otter box (on my old HTC one) without the gel and a little slimmer/lighter.
NFC stands for Near Field Communication. If you've ever used a badge or a keyfob for door access or used ApplePay you've used NFC. This release opens up NFC for jailbreak users and we can read/write NFC data via the NFC chip in iPhones.
Also the wikipedia entry for NFC has a pretty good video.
Lastly famous usages for NFC are:
And here and here are some more examples. NFC is a really awesome technology because it's super easy to use, tags are really cheap (8 for 10 bucks on amazon) and these kind of tags can hold all kinds of data from web addresses to share to the aforementioned data of Nintendo Amiibo figures if you can find their decryption keys (they are uhm.. "available" on the internet if you know what I mean)
You can buy NFC stickers like this for real cheap
Screen protectors will most likely give good protection against scratches. However there is no actual proof anywhere on the internet that screen protectors would offer any meaningful protection against drops.
"I dropped my phone and only the screen protector cracked." People tend to use that as a proof that it works. But in reality they can't be sure if the screen would have cracked without the screen protector.
Screen protectors are more fragile than your screen. For example some people have received screen protectors that have already cracked in the mail. The Ozrly tempered glass screen protector that gets mentioned here a lot is only 0.24mm thick. Also it's highly unlikely that the phone is going to fall on the floor and land flat on its face. Screen protectors don't offer any protection to impacts on corners/sides of the phone.
A case like TUDIA Slim-Fit CYGEN Dual Layer Protective Case for OnePlus One will offer more protection against drops. The edges on it are raised above the screen little bit. So get a case to protect your phone against drops. But know that the phone will feel different on your hand due to the texture and increased thickness. Add screen protector for the extra protection against scratches.
Or use the phone naked, without a case or screen protector.

I bought a hard plastic spigen at the store when I bought my phone just so I had one. I love it and am using it permanently. Great access to the buttons.

I prefer finding a case I like, like a Spigen Rugged Armor, and then use a lycra/spandex card pocket. Card Ninja is my favorite.

PART TWO -- wrote this before seeing your VIVE arrives... basically tomorrow
-=- recommended accessories -=-
get the Deluxe Audio Strap. this is a MUST HAVE.
https://www.amazon.com/HTC-Vive-Deluxe-Audio-Strap-pc/dp/B06Y2GDXMC/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=htc+vive+deluxe+audio+strap&qid=1555922928&s=videogames&sr=1-1
i don't consider this an accessory...this is just absolutely CRUCIAL. installation took me ~15-20 minutes after watching a youtube video on how to install as the instructions that ship with it are ...lacking. there's a video of a german guy who shows you have to install it easily.... this strap adds not only great sounding, adjustable and comfortable headphones but (more importantly) will secure the HMD in a way that makes the default strap seem laughable. this deluxe strap allows more comfortable wear of the HMD, better cord management and eliminates the need for supplying your own audio (be it earbuds or headphones) while i ordered all of these "accessories" and received them before my VIVE, i decided to try the original / shipped strap before installing the "deluxe" and words can't describe the difference in fit, comfort, and how great the audio from the adjustable integrated earphones sound. the headphones are able to "snap" in an upright position when you are either removing /storing the HMD or just need to lift one up to hear something someone is trying to tell you...
-=-2nd suggestion for "accessories"-=-
probably most important second only to the deluxe audio strap.... get these tripods. you don't want to mount your lighthouses to your wall... with these tripods you are able to place your lighthouses without drilling/mounting. it is way worth the investment as the stands are very secure, adjustable and the lighthouses screw directly into them. no other parts needed, just these two stands... you'll realize that you might have to fine-tune/tweak the placement of the lighthouses slightly, and with these stands you are able to make adjustments (not only in placement but with the ball/swivel you are able to change the angle/pitch etc.) which you couldn't do if you mounted them.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B6FDKZ8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-=-honorable mention -- not necessary but recommended...-=-
when i purchased my vive i made sure to get a nice stand to set the HMD/controllers on... (...i went a bit overboard with other accessories and for brevity i'll only mention two more accessories that i think you should pick up) here's the HMD/controller stand i purchased for when either storing the vive or to set it on while taking breaks/cooling off... . it isn't an absolute necessity but it gives it a nice place to rest the HMD/controllers during breaks between play (you will sweat a lot even in a cold room, i know i'm out of shape but with titles like sairento, sprint vector, space pirate etcetc i take breaks just to let my face breathe and cool off.) this beats just setting the HMD on the ground or on a nearby table which could easily fall off.... your call, but -- again, protect your investment!

"Skywin VR cable management system"
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0733NN7G8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
-- these are simply pullies that attach to your ceiling, allowing the cable to be out of the way of the ground... personal preference here but i find these very useful (especially with titles where i'm moving around a lot... sairento, gorn, QuiVR etc) ... protip: i went to walmart etc, purchased -several- packs of 3M "Command" large picture and frame hanging strips 16lb "large picture hanging strips" and have them all over my ceiling at different strategic places (depending on if i'm playing a title that requires my entire room i.e having to move my bed for the max. play area, or if i'm playing a title that requires only the smallest room setup or even for sitting) so using the 3M strips instead of the adhesive that comes with the pullies in the kit, i'm able to switch around the location of the pullies to suit each above situation...also, they remove without damaging your ceiling... if you have any questions on this just message me and i'd be happy to elaborate.
-=-
last accessory suggestion -- after watching videos of people punching holes in their walls etc. i decided to grab these protective frames which have saved my walls and possible harm to my controllers when demoing my vive to friends (even though when demoing i always have chaperone on "beginner", floor bounds on etc) it -never- fails that they will try to throw a grenade and hit my ceiling, swing a punch while playing Gorn and instead of my vive controller slamming into the wall, the cage around the circular top part absorbs the impact and deflects/redistributes the force from one point of contact to several. just throwing this out there, just in case you or someone you are showing it to will be inadvertently throwing your controller into your wall
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

final thoughts/closing: hmm. well, i think i said a LOT here and hope that your experience with installation is pleasant. again, let us all know how your first experience went and feel free to ask any questions.
welcome to the subreddit, welcome to the VIVE family and congrats on embarking on this journey together with us

I bought 3 cases:
I've used Spigen cases before but this one had weird sharp notches on the corners at the back to prevent the wobble from the camera section protruding, that turned me off that case.
The bumper seemed ok but was a little bulkier than I wanted and mine didn't contain the rear screen protector either
I ended up settling for the ESR case and am still using it now. It's soft TPU and fits snugly. I have the dark one (to go with the dark phone) and you can still see the logo and stuff through the back of the case. It has the corner drop protection and the slightly raised ridge prevent the camera or the screen from touching the surface you put it on (assuming the surface is hard). They all seem to work with the Qi chargers I have too.
I took all 3 cases into work as another guy was also getting the phone. He checked them all and also ended up buying the ESR case.
On the downside, I've just bought some new gloves that allow me to use the touchscreen and the case seems a little slipper with the gloves on, but then I expect a lot of cases would (unless you get those weird cases with all the ridges and angles which I'm not keen on).
I'm always on the lookout for other better, more suitable cases but haven't found one I liked yet.
Ive had my X for about a month, switching over from the Galaxy S8 so heres my experience
> What kind of case should I get for the X
I have a tempered glass screen protector for the screen and a really chunky bumper case with a clear plastic back (https://www.amazon.co.uk/iPhone-Spigen%C2%AE-Cushion-Technology-Protection/dp/B074CMHQW5/ref=sr_1_6?s=telephone&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1524581014&amp;sr=1-6&amp;keywords=iphone+x+case) so you can still see the lovely apple logo. I use this as it is grippy, adds a bit of heft to the phone and also the camera cutout is protruded so the lens never touches the surface when i put the phone down. Also, a bit of a placebo but it does give me a bit of drop confidence as the rubber bumper is quite thick and reinforced. If you play alot of games the extra size makes it comfortable to hold for long periods although that same heft might be a downside for gym use. Its great for taking pics as the lens has a low chance of ever being damaged or scratched.
> Would I be a fool to start my iPhone X life with it being a blank slate instead of having the Apple techs clone my current phone setup onto it today?
Im a nerd and always start from scratch on all phones I get cos i enjoy the experience but if you 're in the Apple eco system I guess it would only benefit you by transferring your stuff across?
> do magnets do any damage to the IPhone X
I have a magnet mount in my car and have not had any issues as of yet
> Is there anything I can now do better or differently with my iMac by having the X
I dont have a Mac but I don think theres anything in addition to the X that can be done that other iPhones cant do. The extra spec bump in video recording is great, depends on how seriously you want to get into it if you want to consider getting better equipment.
> is my dumpy series 0 watch going to be a. Detriment to the glory that is the X
I dont have an Apple Watch but really want to get one so this would also be good for me to know lol
> And finally——— any X owners feel like suggesting a game or a two or an app that is just a beast on the X
I dont game much on the X as of yet but when I had an iPhone 6, I purchased Star Wars Knights of the Old republic and played it like ass.
I also bought the game again on the Galaxy S8 and although alot smoother, it still crashed alot. However, on the X it is just a dream. Plays beautifully!
Also, one thing I would recommend is getting a 12w iPad charger for the X, charges much faster compared to in the box charger and it does not require you to get an expensive USB C to lightning cable, you can just use the regular lightning cable.
I looked around as well, and finally purchased the Tune Belt... I wear it almost daily when I go out cycling. A couple of things:
Anyway, yeah - good product, I'm happy, good luck with your purchase :)
I bought this AB86 band for my nexus, total was 24$ but that was for shipping within the US.
As for the armband. The phone fits perfectly into the band, easy in and out. Swiping is decent, towards the edges of the phone I sometimes need to swipe a few times to get it to work right. The phone also fits into the band when it has a cruzerlite Cover on, Its a little snug so when you are taking the phone out you sometimes have to wiggle it pretty good back n forth or peel the band back a little bit to get a good hold of the phone and get it out.
The ear-bud wrap is useful so you don't have some cord flailing around smacking you in the face the whole time you run like your in some bad porno.
The armband didn't feel secure at all when I first started using it. I kept tightening that strap over and over until I couldn't feel my arm anymore before it actually felt secure, I imagine I looked like Quasimodo running down the street with one half of his upper body paralyzed... When I got over that I realized the band would still have to slide down my arm I started to loosen it up. I found its a fine line between secure and comfortable, but the strap can be surprisingly loose and still stay right in place on my arm.
If you use one of those military grade plastic wet application screen protectors DO NOT USE this armband with it. My wife went through 2 XO protectors and a Zagg one. Basically the plastic on the armband adheres to the plastic on the phone protector, when you try and peel it off it pulls up the protector as well causing micro bubble under the protector and also causes tiny little rips.
I dont use my screen very often when running so I was looking into getting one of these. My biggest complaint is after a good run that little strap on the armband can start to cut off circulation even when loose. I like the idea of a more covered full arm sleeve for comfort and better protection of the phone when im running outside and it starts to rain.
This seems like a better, cheaper option to me. Q&A Section says it's Nexus 5 compatible.

I got this case. Same company, not as bulky, and no kickstand. It still is awesome. I drop my phone all the time, and it hasn't broken at all yet. It has the raised edge along the screen, and rubber corners.

Just picked up a Spigen Thin/Exact Fit for mine and came in the mail yesterday. Adds a decent amount of grip to the phone while adding VERY minimal bulk.
http://www.amazon.com/Spigen%C2%AE-Exact-Fit-Smooth-Premium-Finish/dp/B00OH4HLJ8
I've got a few. Been using this Spigen one which I like! https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Nexus-Premium-Finish-Coating/dp/B0147JXUVU
Ringke Fusion sounds like what you're looking for. The case includes a screen protector as well as a template for putting images in the back of the case. http://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Protector-Protection-Absorption-Technology/dp/B01637DS70
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01637DS70/ is compatible, it's not bad either the only thing that bugged me was the fingerprint sensor hole was a little bigger than needed to be, which is why I went for a skin to protect the little extra area. There's not a lot of good clear cases.
Here's a pretty decent list.. it has most.

I bought the universal adapter and stuck it to the back of this case I had, and it's worked great for me. I was a little worried the phone might pop out over time from vibrations, or the mount might come unstuck from the case, but it's never even started to.
I'm quite careful with mine and was a fan of the spigen rugged armor for my Nexus 6P so that's what I'm going with again here. Very slim, yet adequate protection for the occasional minor drop.

That VAIO PRO 13 is a great machine! Wish Sony still made laptops, cause they were getting better and better until they stopped.
In regards to your deteriorating phone case, may I recommend this?
Like many others have said, get a launcher, LGs stock launcher is OK, but Nova is just simply better.
I have been using a [Spigen Rugged Armor case](Spigen Rugged Armor LG V20 Case with Resilient Shock Absorption and Carbon Fiber Design for LG V20 2016 - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0HW9P4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Qe8zybKKK66H0) since I got this device and it is great. It doesn't take away from the feel of the device, but I am comfortable handing it to my two year old to watch videos or play around with the screen.
I'm not a huge audiophile but I would like to say that from my experience, the headphones from the promo are nothing special, I actually think the Samsung ones that came with my Note 7 sound just as good with the DAC. Hopefully someone can be of help to you here, I'm going to be keeping an eye on the thread for this part as well!
Welcome!

Anyone have an opinion on these? Looks like they'd work well but I'm concerned about signal interference.

I love the quality and design of Spigen cases.
I'm looking at the Thin Fit, the Liquid Air Armor or the Ultra Hybrid for the normal Galaxy S8.
I just received the Liquid Air Armor from Spigen, and I really like the feel of it. It's like that harder rubber, and the back has a nice pattern to it that provides grip. I've tried many different Spigen cases, and for me, the Thin Fit over time developed scratches that wouldn't go away. So that's why I opt'd for the Liquid Air this time.
I like and recommend Spigen cases to everyone.
I got my Spigen case liquid air (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP87DGC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) and my Spigen screen protectors *https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP7SV6G/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1) now I just need the damn phone!

Wow, I really like the first one. I have never ordered from Aliexpress. Does it really take 20-30 days to ship?
I will probably go with this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XS8R8TK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A10ABS3Q8PD59I
I have quite a few:

My absolute favorite of the bunch and the case I keep going back to is the Bear Motion. Those white specs in the pics aren't nearly as visible in person and the become even less visible over time.
If I'm doing anything where I think dropping my phone is a possibility I sport the Spigen Rugged ARmor.
I have mine arriving today

I use the Tune Belt armband, which works great even with the extended battery.
For my headphones, I use Sennheiser PX 100-II. They aren't exactly the most lightweight of options, but the sound quality is excellent and I have no issues with them coming off of my head during runs.
I got this one. Has worked great for me for the past few months.
I used this one in the pool this passed weekend with my 1520, it barley fit! But sealed. Took some pretty cool underwater photos! It's one of the best

I have one of these. I bought it for another phone, but it fits The 6P like a glove as long as you don't have a case on your phone. The fingerprint scanner does not work, but you can type in your password. I have been swimming with it, it works. I can post underwater pix, I'm just waiting for the manatees to come in for the winter.
Make sure you order the one that reads "Universal size fits all Large Smartphones up to 6"," not the 5.3" one.
Update, pictures.
Float strap not included, but recommended.

Probably using this thing. At least, I'd hope he is at this point.
I bought the Sedio 3800 mAh battery with this case. It gives me about 18-20 hours of pretty normal usage with 3 hours screen on time. I never run into an issue of not having enough power at the end of the day anymore.
People also really seem to like the ZeroLemon 5900 mAh extended battery.

I had an LG G3 with the Unicorn Beetle case. It was a great case. Felt good and lasted almost 2 years of drops. I haven't seen one made for the V20 yet so I decided to buy the Poetic phone case first and was disappointed with the feel of it. It covered the curves and felt cheap. Ordered the Ringke case and haven't thought twice about it. Phone feels nice in my hand still. The case looks good. And after my phone was dropped from the back of a moving forklift onto asphalt with no damage to phone or case, I can say I would recommend the case.
I use the supcase which has lasted me the entire time. The case is extremely durable. I have no worries when dropping my phone because of the hard plastic it is made of.
It does, I have THIS ONE. I wanted something tough that would go in and out of pockets rather easily. It fits really snug on the phone and is actually two pieces, it comes with a built in plastic screen protector that is pretty easy to remove if you want a different one or just don't want to use one.
If you have any specific questions about it I'd be happy to answer them.
SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro with an iCarez tempered glass screen protector
I have this case and it works fairly well. It's a little bulky, but that's kind of expected for this kind of case. Also I find Tasker to be invaluable for all of the automation it does. Also, ~2 amp chargers are needed for the phone (needed may be an overstatement, but it makes charging faster)
I'm a spray painter by trade and I need something durable and dust resistant so I bought this case . It has a built-in screen protector but it is a bit flimsy for my liking so I also bought a tempered glass screen protector
Edit* I have to add that I cut out the screen protector from the case because it caused issues with the touch screen.
Just pick up some NFC tags off Amazon (such as https://www.amazon.com/Black-NFC-Stickers-NTAG213-Tagstand/dp/B00KSR0636)
Then set up a trigger once you scan to connect to the specified WiFi and input the set password. Of course, they'll need to have NFC enabled, not everyone does or even knew it existed on their phone.
You can buy them from Amazon, and you can download NFC apps from the Play store to help you program them. Easy peasy.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00KSR0636/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_MpdNAbF8M1NF0
is what I bought - works fine with my Galaxy S6 to trigger Tasker tasks.
Also use the Android tools NFC Tools and Trigger (Trigger itself can call a Tasker event).
Yup. You can buy essentially blank but unique NFC tags and then use various apps to program the actions taken when they're scanned.
Here are some tags off amazon (there are many, just search nfc):

Doing a quick google search I found this guide about what you can do (although I didn't take a careful look at it):
http://trendblog.net/creative-and-useful-ways-to-use-nfc-tags-with-your-smartphone/
It is actually very easy to set up. The sleep app for android has the function built in (not sure if it's available for iphone). You need a phone with Near Field Communication (NFC) capability. Any cheap RFID tag should work, I picked up these ones from Amazon. You only need one, but they pretty much all come in packs. In the app settings you go to "CAPTCHA" and select "NFC tag". Then in the CAPTCHA settings there is a giant button at the bottom of the screen that says "Learn". All you have to do is turn on your phone's NFC and set your phone on top of the tag you want to use. Once it learns that tag, put the tag where you want it, set your alarm to not turn off without CAPTCHA enabled and you should be all set.
I ordered a Nillkin tempered glass protector, and a TUDIA slim-fit case (looks like a spigen for my htc one m8)
came out to $25 total
Well you're in luck because those accessories are only available on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/Orzly%C2%AE-Tempered-Protective-Protector-SmartPhone/dp/B00KQKATH8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1422019037&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=orzly+oneplus

True, I'm gonna get the Slim armour and the Thin Fit. £8.98 for both is great deal IMO.
Spigen Thin Fit http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OH4HLJ8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_zcePub0SB7Z7S
They have a transparent version, but I'd go with black for the grippier texture
I don't use the CD player in my car, so I've set up my mount using these:
Mountek Snap3
Spigen Slim Case for Nexus 6
I've taken the magnet and placed it inside the Spigen case. When I get in the car, I put the phone in the case and snap it on to the mount.
Let me know if you'd like some pictures.
I ordered the Spigen slim one it should be in tomorrow with Amazon Prime I think. I'll throw a picture or two up of it when it gets in compared to my G3.

Yes of course
This is the case that I have and I am glad about having bought it.
http://www.amazon.es/gp/aw/d/B0147JXUVU/
Currently using a Ringke case with the ovals for the power button and volume rocker cut out with an X-Acto knife. This puts the buttons at the bottom of a hole where they won't be bumped by anything, but they're still usable.
I'm using this one and really like it. Clear so it doesn't cover up the natural beauty of the device. It's not bulky, buttons are very clicky and easy to use and comes with a screen protector as well. I really enjoy it.
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01637DS70?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
You could opt for a clear case, like the Ringke Fusion (http://amzn.com/B01637DS70) or Spigen Ultra Hybrid (http://amzn.com/B016CBF3DE). I use the Ringke Fusion with a back-only skin and it works wonderfully.
It's been all over the official forums for weeks now that Orzly Customer Service have told unhappy customers that they have a new one coming. Been waiting for someone to say they had, decided to order some more since they had released the White one and when it came it was decidedly smaller than the original one I had.
This by the looks of it: https://www.amazon.ca/Orzly%C2%AE-Pro-Fit-Tempered-Protector-Oneplus/dp/B017HB1FVC/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1472941450&amp;sr=8-1-fkmr0&amp;keywords=orzly+2.5.d+oneplus+3
This is the best screen protector I found, it's a newer version, and this is a review video of it with various cases for compatibility.
Yeah just checked, I wasn't thinking of the otterbox but i couldn't find the fully-encased one either.
I guess the next best thing is one of these:
https://www.amazon.ca/Orzly%C2%AE-Pro-Fit-Tempered-Protector-Oneplus/dp/B017HB1FVC
Looks like the Orzly one will be available on the 27th from Amazon too: HTTPS://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017HB1FVC
I used this one for 6 or 7 months before I dropped it and it cracked the corner of the case. Saved my phone but it wouldn't stay in the case anymore. III prefer this one because it only adds 2mm of thickness (check out the description) and a ton of grip. It's made of plastic, but the texture will fool you.
After that, I had this lying around after a sale. It's just rubbery, super grippy, and still pretty minimal. Plus now I can see my dbrand skin lol. Definitely keeps my palms off the edge though.
Before this phone I didn't like cases either, so I really can't recommend any of those premium cases because they add too much thickness. Spigen is a reputable case maker too, and they have their own metal cases if you're interested. Good luck!
That's for the S7. Here's for the Edge:

It is much more grippy than the Turata case, and the thickness is just about the same. You can also run full size screen protectors on this one. The new coral blue color is very good looking.

Have one for my S7 and I love it
This one here. Make sure you select the Thin Fit Shell case. I've had it for a few weeks now and I love it. Just be sure though that it's for the S6 Edge, not S7 Edge.
Edit: Found this for the S7 Edge.
Dunno, I have these ones and they're both fucking amazing:

I use Spigen Rugged Armor and Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal.
They provide good protection without adding much bulk. The rugged armor feels a bit better than the neo hybrid crystal but the neo hybrid crystal is transparent and sometimes I just love looking at this gorgeous back.
I personally prefer the flexible rubber NGP/TPU style cases. They are easy to get on and off when necessary, they protected from minor falls, and they don't add much bulk to the phone at all.
I got the Spigen Liquid Amor from Amazon for $12. I also like Incipio brand rubber cases.

No integrated screen protector though
As someone that always has a case that makes me feel better it kind of negates it. I just picked up this one. I got it because of plastic covering over the camera lenses but I suppose that's overkill.
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugged-Resilient-Absorption-Carbon/dp/B01M0HW9P4 I have this one on my V20 right now. Don't really need a super bulky case on this particular phone since it's more resilient to drops than most flagship devices.
Not OP, but here's a link for anyone who wants to have a look what kind of case this is.
> Phone was sliding up and down by 1-2mm
Looks like a case that is easy to remove, e.g. for battery swaps. Is it? And do you frequently swap?
I have this case and love it. Not thick at all, and very comfortable. Spigen Rugged Armor
Also basically any USB C dock will work. Just pick one with great reviews and you shouldn't be disappointed.
Show this to your friend
They work really, really well IMO. The silicone skin protects against scuffs and things of that nature, and the outer cage part can pop on/off in seconds depending on your protection vs weight needs.
Not a shill, just a satisfied customer. BTW they have DIY 3dprint alternatives on Thingiverse
i've seen these plastic protective shield things, but haven't used them myself.
Get yourself a set of these:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I got them and ive already hit the wall 3 times (and one time the ceiling), my wife another 2... (got the Vive less than a week ago)
i dont think the hits would have broken the controllers, as the protector didnt break, but im glad i didnt found out.
I am so pumped for you! I love GORN and Devolver are a perfect fit, congratulations.
Your trailer perfectly captures what this game can do; it's the reason I bought this!
It's the only experience that makes everyone lose themselves and punch my wardrobe.
I refuse to take a code; I want to give you money.
I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
They make the controllers very heavy. After taking both the protective shell and skin off the controllers it felt like the controllers had no weight to them at all. I took them off because I was having tracking issues and because I'm not doing anything but development right now. Most likely the tracking issues are my own fault - my setup isn't the best and I haven't taken the time to improve it.
I am 6'5" or so. I hit my ceiling when playing games, so the shell is great for protecting my controllers. I'd recommend them for problem games but not for full time use.
Edit: Not on topic but this is the best accessory I've bought. Two switches to turn the lighthouses off. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CWNMB86/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
> What is the durability of the back case? I saw a video of it cracking kind of easy.
It's glass, curved glass at that, so not very durable. It may take some small drops if you're lucky and it doesn't fall flat on the back, but other than that, don't expect much. Definitely buy a case if you're worried about it.
>Any recommendations on cases
I'm fond of my Spigen Liquid Air Armor (S8/S8+). It's slim, but still feels somewhat protective. It's not the most protective thing out there, but to me it provides a good balance of protection and grip while being slim (not a huge fan of cases). It's also cheap at only $10.
>I'm on a note 3 currently so a big upgrade overall. Anything crazy different ui wise or is still the sameish TouchWiz we've all come to love?
I haven't used the Note 3, but from what I've seen of it the UI is drastically different in a good way. They've majority toned down their modifications. It's still nowhere near Stock, and has a nice selection of features, but it's not as intrusive as before. It also looks nice IMO, they've gotten rid of the sickly green they used to use everywhere (although, they've replaced it with mostly white, which I'm fine with but some people aren't into). They also have themes and we have preliminary Substratum support, so it should also be fairly easy to customize to your liking.
>How was it getting used to the odd aspect ratio?
Not hard at all. I enabled full screen mode for most of my apps (the exception being games that don't stretch well), and for the most part they don't have any weird issues stretching to fill the screen. I thought it would be nice being able to see more vertically, but I honestly haven't noticed it much.
The times I do notice it is moving back. Using a 16:9 screen feels really weird, especially since most of the phones using it also have big bezels. Everything looks fat and stubby. It's weird, moving up I didn't notice it much, but moving back down it feels super weird.
Best case I've ever had and meets all your specs: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XP87DGC/
What i did, since they are basically the same, was look at the best cases for the S8 and S8+. Manufactorers are not going to reinvent the wheel when they only need to update the camera cutout.
I ended up going with this case if you need something to start with.
It was well rated for the S8. It was even higher rated for the iPhone versions.

disclaimer: I still like the case and enjoy Spigen stuff from amazon, but just these particular materials caused a reaction and would have regardless so yea

Simple & light.
I use the case from maxboost and really like it. I used a thinner case for a little bit but broke the screen in a call from my bed so I switched to the slightly thicker maxboost.

Glad to hear this one is pretty good. I ordered this in favor of my friend's Spigen Thin Fit recommendation. I personally like hardshell, but I want to show off my Panda so I went with the Liquid Crystal.
While I have (and like) this case. It's not really a minimalist design, and adds a fair amount of "bulk" to the phone.
The below might be more light weight (but gives up protection as stated in the reviews)
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Google-Coated-Surface-Excellent/dp/B07475C1VT/ref=sr_1_11?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1524601946&amp;sr=1-11&amp;keywords=pixel+2+xl+cases
I am enjoying this so far. It's a Spigen Thin Fit
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07475C1VT/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_apa_P7vTBb51K69QF
I'm using this phone mount with this phone case since it has a slot designed for a magnetic plate.
Works very well and has a strong magnetic bond, but not too strong where you're fighting to get it off. It's just right.
I just got a clear protector (case friendly) from IQ Shield, and it's great. I tried a matte protector (full screen coverage) first, but I didn't have the patience to do the edges and ended up going with this one.
The protector itself is still larger than the actual display area and the borders work great with the Spigen Thin Fit case (I got it because of the cutout for a magnetic mount plate) which I'm also using. It's not a tempered glass protector, so you do get that plastic-y feel and small amount of the orange peel look, but that's just a fact of life with the wet-apply, plastic protectors.
My case lately has been the Spigen Thin Fit Case with SF Coated Non Slip Matte and I think it's pretty good for $12
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07475C1VT
I'm currently waiting for this to arrive, their ads caught my eye on instagram, and it seems to be available at half that price on amazon so figured I'd try it. Long term, I'll probably go case-less or get an apple blue or brown leather case.
Using this spigen case for the moment which is nice because it shows off the back while protecting the sides without making the buttons harder to press, but it's a little chunky.
This what I’m using there’s a crystal clear option.
I think it’s the Ultra Hybrid I have the same case. It’s a snug fit on the XS but it fits.
Not sure exactly what you mean
Spigen Ultra Hyrbid
This is what I went with and got a $7.99 screen protector on amazon deal. It came with two screen protectors
screen protector $7.99 [2pk]
I bought this Spigen case and I love it! Thin, light, and nice protection. I dropped my phone back flat on concrete and it made the loudest slap noise. Phone was fine! I was 100% sure the back glass cracked but it’s still good!
Edit* I also bought this case as well. I had this similar case for my iPhone 5s at the time. I loved that case which is why I want for it on my iPhone X as well!
I like this Spigen with my orange dbrand skin.
One of my favorite qualities is my hair. However, I loved it even more when I started using this. It's really lightweight, and I just spray it on after I get out of the shower. It's heat activated, so it almost encourages me to blow dry my hair instead of just leaving it to air dry when I'm lazy.
My sister introduced this sunscreen to me. It doesn't smell like sunscreen and it blew my mind how it felt like nothing was on. I'm really bad at remembering to put sunscreen on, so this is super important now that I've started running. Can't get sun damage already!
This sounds really weird, but I might be a little addicted to teeth whitening. I almost do it whenever I get bored, so I'm almost Ross from "Friends" level. Seriously. I'm scared they are gonna be glow-in-the-dark soon.
PS you sound beautiful already so ROCK. IT.
Here are two items I can't pick between! Sorry! Water bottle and armband
Galaxy Nexus won't fit in that armband. It's 5.33" H x 2.67" W x 0.35" Thick (135.5 x 67.94 x 8.94 mm). The AB86 is only $20 on Amazon.
Hmm:
http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Belt-Armband-Samsung-Rezound/dp/B0071C9B0U/ref=sr_1_21?s=mp3
I bought this one about 2.5 months ago. It works great. I just use the bumper.
I just ordered this armband for my N5. I had an armband from this company for my iPhone 5 and it was great. Tight fit for the phone takes some getting used to, but I'd recommend it.
Actually I JUST bought this one about a week ago. Took it on one run so far, successful. Tight fit so it's not going anywhere.
Nah i use one of these most of the time
I have not nor do I know anyone that used this armband. But a quick google search of "galaxy s3 armband" revealed this on amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0071C9B0U
I imagine that would suffice, and may actually purchase one myself.
I am planning on taking this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AW2QT8I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_BPWGybQ6PN0R7
It's not hard plastic and I think that's better for carrying it around..can take it to the beach and clip it to your shorts etc
I hope I'm doing this right...
1 = This shelter will protect me from naughty UV rays and subsequent burns while I'm studying transfiguration on the beach.
2 = This figurine. I need it with me at school so I can remember where I came from and who I'm becoming a totally awesome witch for. :)
3 = My babes will appreciate these blocks to keep them occupied building their own Toyland while I'm at class.
4 = I need to hurry up and read this before I hear spoilers, otherwise I may be forced to curse the spoiler-giver with boils. Whiiiich sounds like a good way to get expelled.
5 = I would love [this phone protector](http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AW2QT8I/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&amp;colid=14W2GPMO5NQZO&amp;coliid=I69DBBI4I4X90&amp;psc=1
) so I don't end up like my brother-in-law, who once forgot that his phone was in the pocket of his swimming trunks until he was in mid-air above the pool, about to cannonball. Who knows that kind of unexpected things could happen at school, what with nervous wand-wielders and magical creatures running about? I'd better protect my electronics from harm. Assuming, of course, that RAoAS3M is not like Hogwarts and that electricity will work?
Bonus = Here are some hooks I need for my dormitory at school. Gotta keep things tidy!
Thanks for the fun activity! Mischief Managed.
What I did was buy this Tank Bag then remove the current phone spot and attach this with velcro.
If wanting to add acharging option from my experince so far the bag is pretty water proof so you could put a small hole to run the cable to change the phone and cut another on the bottom of that bag. Using a Battery pack vs a direct cable to the battery may be another option.
I got this one:

$10 on amazon, and the window is the perfect size for the screen. Pictures look decent through the back as well.
Nice to meet you! I know lots of people have asked you what your favorite ted talk is but which one do you think was the most revolutionary??
I think the coolest thing I have on my wishlist is this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AW2QT8I/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&amp;colid=3M6MEO2JPDC5R&amp;coliid=I1ZNKLZ0QPH83M&amp;psc=1
You can go swimming with it!
I bought something like this: amazon and it was awesome as I recorded in Mexico while snorkeling and on Cayman Islands as well.
I use a case similar to this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AW2QT8I/ref=pd_aw_sbs_1?pi=SS115&amp;simLd=1 , I had purchased it for my note 3 and it worked very well. I use it with my nexus 6 but it fits very tight w/a slim armor by spigen, the one w/kickstand. No leaks and the phone is still fully functional under water, even the flash. It works in Salt water plus fresh water, and I mostly use it in an in ground pool with chlorinated water. The price was inexpensive also compared to actual device specific cases. The armband and neck straps work well also. I swim with my n6 using the arm band, no issues.
I was using a Frieq Sack ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AW2QT8I?vs=1) It works, but after less than a year it became brittle and I think that was the reason for the hole I found in it after it fell in the hot tub. There are lots of other waterproof bags and I am definitely looking for something that doesn't get brittle so quickly.
Zip locks are good, but I prefer having something a bit more robust. I learned that constant inspection of the bag is necessary.
Get a zerolemon battery, go 2 days between charge.
Why not just get an extended battery? Or not willing to compromise with the added weight and such?
If you don't mind the extra bulk, maybe something like this could help improve that
I think that zero lemon sells an extended battery for the galaxy nexus now, I have one for my galaxy s3 and I can get 14 hours of screen on time and still skip a night of charging.

Thus why Project Ara is becoming so popular, many consumers want to pick and choose their phone's features.
Personally I want a huge battery on the back that can slide into a 1x2 module then extend above the other modules and cover the entire back. That's essentially what my current battery (ZeroLemon 9300mAh) does so I think it's a good idea.
I have an extended battery for my note 2. Its 6200 mAh. Eventually Iwant to get the 9300 mAh zerolemon battery.
Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II
ZeroLemon 9300mAh Extended Battery
Samsung Galaxy Note II is a 'phablet', a phone that is almost in the realm of tablet sizes, with quite a venerable battery already, and with the extended battery I bought, it gives the phone enough battery power to last a full week of moderate-to-heavy usage.
It's as awesome as it is thick.
http://www.amazon.com/warranty-ZeroLemon-Protection-Guarantee-Compatible/dp/B00BYEMNA6
Another option besides an external pack is a battery case. Not so great for family since if you have a external battery pack everyone could use vs this being only on your phone but with positive of not needing to have cable dangling or carry a battery pack.
I do believe some battery cases allow you to charge other devices too though. Adds some bulk but doesn't really add much bezel. This uses usb c as well. Great for travel since you can use your phone like normal then minute it gets low turn battery case on.
I have had travel days where i'll have really early morning flight. My phone battery will get low around say afternoon time since i'm using it so much in airport. Turn on battery case and by evening when it's time to go out or have dinner I can take phone out the case with 100% and have enough juice to last til next day. You could also probably survive entire weekend with just the case on. You'll get about charge and a half.

If you're looking for hands-down-the-best-all-around-case, then you want Unicorn Beetle. I have it and have never been more happy with a case purchase.
I popped out the built in screen protector and installed my own glass one which the case works fine with.
Do you use the rugged case or the one with the clear back?
...because I love the rugged UB case. Adds little bulk but about the same protection as an Otterbox defender. $19 brand new right now.
Link for those interested: Unicorn Beetle Pro for LG G3 (Rugged)
Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro
So far nothing below a 4 star haha
Are you looking for a sturdy case with a cover or just a sturdy case? This one looks pretty sturdy. The Otterbox defender is also a pretty heavy duty case
In regards to cases: I got this one and ripped out the plastic screen protector in favor of a glass one I got the second I bought the phone. It's been nothing but good to me and is WAY cheaper than most others. Wireless charging still works through it, too.

Got this from Amazon the same day I got my phone, love the case. Its 2 Pieces, the phone kinda locks into the front cover, and the and the back shell goes around that. It's a rubber exterior but not the very resistant rubber like the Defender series from Otterbox so it easily goes in and out of your pocket.

This is the case. Fits perfect and great protection. Plus it is not made of the soft silicone that makes you turn your pocket inside out when you grab your phone.

Programmable NFC stickers, combined with apps like Tasker allow you to automate various settings based on a NFC swipe. I've used one in my car as well to turn on Bluetooth, start Spotify, crank volume for audio and alerts, switch GPS to high
Are these different? Like better or worse or something?

I personally use a Orzly screen protector and this case that I just got last night. I would say a screen protector is hella worth it unless you just can't stand them. The case helps but it's not really needed.
Too bad I ended up dropping my phone and denting the sides a bit right before my case arrived. My screen is fine though.

Does anyone know if the polycarbonate outer layer has that semi-grippy matte on it or not? I like the metal slate contrast with the black.
awesome hope you enjoy. Check out this case I bought it its pretty nice.

I have this TUDIA Slim-Fit Dual Layer Case. I usually get a case for all my phones and this time, I decided I wanted a dual layer case (the theory is, it absorbs impact and distributes the shock). I also have it paired with a Spartan Glass from XtremeGuard. I don't recommend buying from XtremeGuard - not only did it take them forever to send my order out, my order was also missing stuff (one alcohol swab for 2 glass screen protectors, missing squeegee, missing microfiber cloths) - while it's not a huge deal, since I had a bunch of those items laying around anyway, I'm sure it would be a pain in the ass for someone who doesn't.
The case I have also fits over the tempered glass. My tempered glass is 0.4mm thick vs the Orzly (0.24mm) and the Nillkin (0.3mm).
Just to give you an idea of how well this combination works, I dropped it from chest height the very first day I took my phone to work. It was an accident and I totally thought I shattered my screen, or the protector at the very least, but I picked it up and it was unscathed.
it looks good, but im having trouble comparing it with the TUDIA (http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Slim-Fit-CYGEN-Protective-OnePlus/dp/B00NJBVHIG/ref=sr_1_7?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1420785277&amp;sr=1-7&amp;keywords=oneplus).
it looks like they both have some good features, but i dunno

Have a look at the Tudia Cygen case. Very protective and quite nice to look at.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00NJBVHIG?vs=1
tl;dr: It's great. There's no iTunes. It's huge. There's tons of customization, but only if you want. Gestures are super cool. Better speakers. LTE.
I just switched from an iPhone 4 to the OPO around New Years. I, too, had been an iOS user for many years and found my iPhone couldn't keep up with the world around it. You and I have had very similar experiences, so I hope this helps.
Incoming Wall of Text (I hope it's useful!):
First things first: If you use iMessage, you will have a problem with Apple hijacking your friends' text messages with iMessage. Before you turn off your iPhone, turn off the Use iMessage setting. Apple has released a tool that will deregister your phone number from iMessage, though it took several days for it to actually work for me. But it eventually did, and everything's fine now.
You'll have some other things to get used to, as well. For one, there's no more iTunes. That's been the biggest change for me. For better or worse, I'm pretty brainwashed when it comes to using iTunes. Now I add my music as I would to a folder, though there may be an iTunes-like alternative.
If you want to emulate your iOS experience, you can, but you'll need other apps and software. For instance, iMessage can be pretty well emulated with Airdroid. I didn't have Siri on my iPhone, but I think the 4s did. If you're used to Siri, you'll find that Google Now is similar, but not quite the same.
Next, the phone is huge. It dwarfs the iPhone 4. This was my biggest concern when I ordered the OPO and it took me several days to truly feel comfortable holding it with one hand. The phone itself is pretty friendly to hold. I got a case for mine which has added a bit of heft to it and takes away some of the phone's elegance.
If you haven't used Android before, it may take a little time to get used to. And if you get into custom ROMs it can be a bit overwhelming at first, depending on your level of computer knowledge. It's all very cool, though. If you're a tinkerer, like me, you'll have tons of things you can play with. If you're not, the stock setup is great, too.
Widgets are weird to get used to. They totally messed with what I was used to in the iOS world and they've altered the way I set up my screens. I use a different launcher, called Nova Launcher, that lets you resize the widgets a bit more than the default launcher. I'd recommend it to you if you want to keep your screen looking elegant.
As others have said, gestures are great. Double tap to turn the screen on, two finger swipe down to play or pause music, arrows left and right for previous and next song. You can draw a V on the screen to turn on the flashlight, but I turned it off because I found myself doing it by accident.
As for the phone itself, it's phenomenal. It's very snappy, it sports a 1080p screen, and has much better speakers. Finally, LTE is way better than 3G.
Overall, I'm very happy with the OPO.
I use this one https://www.amazon.ca/Spigen%C2%AE-Exact-Fit-Smooth-Premium-Finish/dp/B00OH4HLJ8
Very thin, maybe not the best protection but the N6 is big enough as it is.
I just got this one in the mail, its got a nice touch and still pretty slim, I wouldn't trust it on a drop, but it will look nicer

I plan on pre-ordering the Nexus 6 tonight through AT&T, and hopefully they arrive around the same time. As far as screen protectors go... I would love a glass one. However, I've heard rumors that the screen house rounded edges similar to the Moto X 2014, making a glass screen protector almost unusable.
It was actually this http://www.amazon.com/Spigen%C2%AE-Perfect-Fit-Smooth-Premium-Finish/dp/B00OH4HLJ8/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1417571452&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=slim+nexus+6+case

I've read good things on it, and I'm a fan of the soft touch feel.
I love my spigen thin fit http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00OH4HLJ8. It adds very little bulk. However I'm starting to get paranoid about its lack of coverage on the top and bottom sides so I ordered this cell bee case yesterday http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00P1F0ATK . It has a hard clear back with tpu sides that looks very slim and it has nothing lower than 5 star reviews
I guarantee you it is some kind of Spigen.
Like you, I was also thinking of purchasing the Quad Lock Universal Bike Mount with my N5X. I am sporting a Spigen Thin Fit Case, which is very nice IMO.
I'm not really looking for waterproofing as I am a fair weather rider but I think the Quad Lock plus a tight fitting case should hold the phone secure and suit you just fine.
5X - but yes, I do!

I just bought this screen protector: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016CUS84Q/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_B.myxb08CDGGA
With this case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0147JXUVU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_2cnyxb89ZE8GC
Did I make a mistake?
I picked up a slim Spigen from Amazon and called it a day. I'm not so much concerned about drops. I just like that it gives the phone a little bit of a lip around the camera lens and the front edge if it's face-down. The slim Spigen adds a negligible amount of bulk - maybe a couple millimeters.
I only buy bumper/thin cases so that I can put my phone down on the screen without worrying about scratching the screen.
Currently I have the Nexus 5x with the Spigen Thin Case
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0147JXUVU/ref=cm_sw_r_other_awd_NW1xwbPEFEQ68
Here's the case I have. It's very minimal and covers just barely enough to keep the N5 safe from minor bumps.
If Spigen makes a Rugged Armor case for the 5X, get it. Have one on my 6P and it's great.
EDIT: http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Spigen%C2%AE-Exact-Fit-Premium-Finish/dp/B0147JXUVU/ref=sr_1_4?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451588305&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=nexus+5x+case
I've got one and it doesn't work brilliantly. I think the Spiegen case I have might be a bit thick for the magnet to grab it well.
Combined with the fact that the vents in my car don't hold themselves firmly in position the phone has jumped off the mount a couple of times. I was tempted to return it, but resorted to finding a position where I could rest the base of the phone on the temperature dial and that seemed to help enough. Still don't really trust it though...
Cable: CHOETECH 1.6ft (0.5m) USB-A to USB-C - I have the 1 meter cable as well, but realized I didn't need that much slack.
Charger: PowerGen 4.2Amps / 20W Dual USB Car charger I've had this for a while now - close to 3 years. (I seem to have an older version as my order history says 3.6Amps / 18W.) I bought it when I had my Google Play Edition Galaxy S4 and a company iPhone 4s. It shows as Charging when plugged in - not rapidly but not slowly either. I use DashClock still and it shows as "Charging (AC)" instead of USB, and it keeps up with running Google Music and Play music at the same time on long trips. I don't have the brightness jacked up, about half way, and it will charge will driving long distances.
Case:Spigen Thin Fit Nexus 5x Case I've liked Spigen and I wanted a thin case. I don't have the biggest hands in the world (reason I didn't get a 6p) so I didn't want a case that added a lot of bulk.
Screen Protector: ANSOTT LG Nexus 5X Tempered Glass Screen Protector I rolled the dice as there are a bunch out there and so far it has been fine. I see 2 chips in the protector from what I assume are drops I caused.
Car Mount: Ipow Long Arm Universal Windshield Dashboard Cell Phone Holder This is to replace this mount which I had for about 2 years. The design of this older one used some springs and plastic grooves that the 2 arms slid on and it eventually wore and cracked. The only problem with the new one is that due to the power and volume buttons on side, it has to be mounted in one spot to not hit any of the buttons. The grip is strong and the arm is nice as it's closer to me than the old one - I don't have to reach as far. This plus the new Android Auto update should make trips nicer.
if your looking for a case I have this one and really like it. i like the way the finger print reader feels in it
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0147JXUVU
Another vote for the spigen - it's been working well for a few weeks now!
I took a dremel to it because my headphones have a chunky plug that wouldn't fit, but a little rounding out cleared that up without issue. I found the seam from the molding was a little sharp so I used a needle file to wipe it down, but that's probably just me being neurotic.
I haven't tried the Spigen but have the Ringke Fusion on my phone. It's hard plastic for the back and TPU for the bumper.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01637DS70

I put this adhesive leather wallet on a Ringke Fusion clear case. It wasn't a cheap solution, but it has worked perfectly for me over the last seven months.
I have the Ringke Fusion for my Nexus 6 and it works great.
Check out the reviews for the 6p version though.
https://www.amazon.com/Ringke-Protector-Protection-Absorption-Technology/dp/B01637DS70/
I prefer this over those 2: http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Case-Absorption-Protection-Anti-Static/dp/B01637DS70/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1449845171&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ringke+nexus+6p
It has bumper (TPU) edges and a more hard plastic back so it doesnt brown over time like most clear cases. I swear by this case, I have gotten all the people I know to buy this case and I have not gotten a single bad review on it.
I got this clear TPU case and love it because it doesn't hide the phone and it doesn't add very much bulk: Ringke [Fusion] Clear PC Back TPU Bumper

Not a scratch on the phone.
What us the rhino like?
It's definitely a gamble without a case.

Screen Protector: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&amp;id=201451006487&amp;alt=web
Normally I'm not the type to get a screen protector however with this case if it fell on the ground I would be worried about the screen clearance. There is not much of a lip to protect if it fell face down. My only complaint with the case is when calling someone the top of the case that touches your ear is at a 90° angle making the case sharp while resting on your ear.
Also have a 6p with dbrand skins + case, cases fit just fine.
I use a thin TPU case usually, but this for outdoorsy days.
Ringke Fusion
Easily my favorite case, haven't even looked at anything else since i bought it like 4 months ago. The smoke hides discoloration, even though i don't think the clear would discolor much. Buttons feel perfect.
Thanks, what about the second part?
I mean, on my amazon, is this one but i'm not sure if this is the second version
I second this, the screen protector is on sale at Amazon right now for $8, and free 1-day shipping with prime, honestly you'd be silly not to get it.
The Orzly screen protector came out recently. Unsure as to what people are saying about it, you can try it if you like
https://www.amazon.ca/Orzly%C2%AE-Pro-Fit-Tempered-Protector-Oneplus/dp/B017HB1FVC/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1473570882&amp;sr=1-2&amp;keywords=oneplus+3
I ordered the orzly one from Amazon. Got it today but still waiting for the op3. I chose it because its full screen tempered glass and according to a review there's no rainbow. Their older version did have the rainbow effect though.
Edit: link Orzly® - 2.5D Pro-Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Oneplus 3 ... http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B017HB1FVC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_apa_fJ1ZxbD7S6H4S
I heard how the official protectors didn't work well with some cases. So I got the Orzly 2.5 one. It fits perfectly and goes under my case (TUDIA Hybrid) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B017HB1FVC
I spent $50 aud on 3 cases and a screen protector on amazon so I don't need to buy the official cases haha.
If you're interested these are the cases I got;

Yes, I bought this from Amazon, still waiting for delivery.

i use a blitzwolf car charger. its not dash charge but it honestly charges the 3 up pretty quick. also has a usb port for a second cable.
i bought a cheap tpu case from amazon for the 3 it has worked great though since its clear it has discolored in the past 2 years as tpu will pull oils in from your hands. but for 8 bucks.
i bought a glass screen protector but since the case fit over the sides and the glass was a tad too wide it wouldnt allow the protector to fit flush as the case would put pressure on the protector and lift it. without a protector i have no visible scratches in 2 years
I've yet to find one. This is the thinnest one I have and it still won't fit.
Galaxy S7 Edge Case, Spigen® [Thin Fit] Exact-Fit [Black] Premium Matte Finish Hard Case for Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (2016) - (556CS20029) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A7IDCC2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_.1Xlxb5D6S52D
Not OP, but I use this same charging pad and have a case on an s7 edge. It's a little finicky, but it definitely works with a case.
Here's the case I use:
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen%C2%AE-Exact-Fit-Premium-Samsung/dp/B01A7IDCC2
i sometimes alternate between case and caseless. i've dropped my phone twice out of clumsiness, and luckily only have small knicks on the top corners of my phone. if you're afraid of bulkiness of a case, i'd recommend spigen's thin fit or crystal liquid cases. they offer some protection without the bulk.

If you wanna try a TGSP I recommend the [gpel gen 2] (https://www.gpelstore.com/products/galaxy-s7-edge-full-coverage-tempered-glass-screen-protector-gen-2-pre-order?variant=22526613767) with a minimal case like the [spigen thin fit] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01A7IDCC2/ref=sxts1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1474867616&amp;sr=1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65)

Most caselogic and spigen work. Though the plastic ones from Caseology do not and they are thin. Seems to be if they are a hard plastic shell type case, it will interfere.

I've had this since the day I got my phone. Adds grip without too much extra bulk. I actually feel it's more comfortable with this on.
that looks like a nice case actually. I just bought the black s7. Sorta regret the black now that I found that clear back case. I thought the black would look better given that it's mostly covered anyway.
I was thinking about this case before. Not sure now.

Case:
I bought the Spigen Rugged Armor case. I would recommend it, cheap, efficient, protective and comes off without much hassle when you want it too and I've had no issues with headphones fitting in.
Notice micro-scratches on my screen, then a few more weeks later so I was tempted to get a screen protector however every review was critical and mentioned lack of proper coverage so I got a wallet case but then got the Pthink Protector.
It was my first time putting on the protector and I couldn't get it to settle properly around the bottom logo part and in the process broke both screens provided. Well fuck, I contacted Pthink and they sent me another package with no cost, got it to work this time but later around the logo it got slightly chipped, I will try putting on the last one I have before finding another brand. Just a heads up if you are going towards a tPU screen protector
Agreed. I would suggest the Spigen Tough Armor case as an alternative. I use the Spigen and it's appearance conveys quality and durability. It feels good in the hand. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M0HW9P4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_WJ7wzbR4PQTHS

Yep, sorry, Spigen Rugged Armor
I haven't thought about it but I doubt it's the case, I bought this Spigen one.
Might want to invest in some of these.
2 Packs Protective Frame and Silicon Protective Case for HTC Vive/Vive Pro Controllers MDW https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_r35SBb8S4330K
I bought https://www.amazon.com/MDW-Updated-Version-Protective-Controllers/dp/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1497313793&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=htc+vive+controller+protector
I haven't used them yet, just assembled before work... The side sensors are outside of the cage... but if you bump something lightly it puts my mind at ease compared to just the controller taking the bump.
The plastic is a little flexible since it isn't as hard as the controller plastic... but I don't think it would save anything if you punched it through a wall since I don't think the plastic is really that strong enough.
If I remember to update this after I use them and bump something I'll let you know.
As said it's more than likely wiring that's come loose. Also I'd suggest asking the arcade to invest in these https://www.amazon.com/Packs-Protective-Silicon-Controllers-MDW/dp/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1541789367&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=Protective+Frame+and+Silicon+Protective+Case if they already haven't.
I have 2 freinds with this one you listed. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_sa5KzbFC8RR2S . Both really like it. They have small play spaces and tend to hit shit around them.
I've got a set of these coming:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
...before I grab this game. Going to use just the cages as the reviews say the silicone sucks.
Can't wait. Only tried an early beta from their site. I just remembered that this and holoball were the only things that made my controller hit the wall so I didn't buy day one when released on Stream. Refunded Holoball due to this(wasn't that great of a game to warrant any controller risk), I hope these cages will save my controllers with Gorn, as that beta was fun as hell.
I use https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XDLMYMQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
The idea everyone is pushing of OP going overboard sounds pretty extreme, but they will at least have a good whack at the railing with their controllers no doubt. OP, at least consider a protective frame if you haven't already. Maybe also rotate the couch 180 degrees.
Now that you mention it... That's exactly what I ordered and I'm an idiot for thinking a skin would offer more than the slightest bit of protection beyond scratches.
I'll see if it is too late to cancel and order these.

Any recommendations? I've been looking at this one https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Liquid-Galaxy-Durable-Samsung/dp/B06XP87DGC/ but I'm worried the buttons aren't completely covered, it looks weird in the images, like there is some gaps in between. If not that, maybe https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Herringbone-Flexible-Protection-Reinforced/dp/B06XP521V1/ but it looks like the sides are metallic, and I wouldn't really like that.

That just looks too bulky. I am thinking of either this https://www.amazon.in/Spigen-Liquid-Samsung-Galaxy-Case/dp/B06XP87DGC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1505397148&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=Samsung+s8+cover

Or S Clear view cover, but i can't find it anywhere plus it is too darn costly.
I have a regular S8, and this case. I think when the screen protectors say "case compatible" it just means they're not quite as wide, so putting the case on doesn't peel up the edges.
i have many cases as well, and the thinnest case i have with adequate protection is the Spigen liquid air armor. it works well with the Spigen screen protector (non-tempered glass).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP87DGC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
the other cases i have are either very thin with minimal protection, or thicker with other options (kickstand, etc).
Looking at the Air Armor from Spigen after your suggestions. I really like the Orchid Gray, but none of the cases seem to look very good to my eyes when emulating it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP87DGC/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;smid=A2SFKRF5TPZMT5
Seems even the heavier-duty ones have reviews where the case didn't protect the phone from cracking. I expect it will still help a bit and mitigate damage from smaller falls, as well as make it easier to hold.
I'm looking forward to how the next-gen S# Active looks as that may be the route I take next time.
I've looked through other threads like this and a lot of people like the Spigen slim fit, I don't have my S8 yet but I am going to buy this one https://www.amazon.com/Maxboost-Perfect-Anti-Slip-Excellent-Protective/dp/B06XS8R8TK , solely because the buttons are covered, I usually slide my fingers to buttons instead of lifting them up and I believe the indentations for the volume buttons would drive my crazy.
I bought this Maxboost case for my S8 and I love it. Adds very little in the way of bulk to the phone and, while it's not super grippy, it makes it easier to hold than the naked glass.
I use Maxboost case since I have a love for no-branding cases which aren't pricey:
https://www.amazon.com/Maxboost-Perfect-Anti-Slip-Excellent-Protective/dp/B06XS8R8TK
I've dropped mine a good few times in this thing
Check this out at Amazon.com - Maxboost Galaxy S8 Case mSnap [Perfect Fit] [Black] Samsung Galaxy S8 Case Anti-Slip Matte Coating for Excellent Grip Thin Hard Protective PC Snap Case Covers for Samsung Galaxy s8 2017 - MB000097 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XS8R8TK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_XjfXzb9CGMN12
It grips on really tight so there's no chance the thing can plop out. there are raised lips at the top and bottom so as long as the thing falls on a flat surface the glass doesn't impact at all.
It works fine for me.
It definitely isn't a tank, but I'm pretty confident that as long as the glass itself doesn't make impact nothing will get damaged. the thing has a solid metal frame which is designed to absorb shock.
I personally trust it. I had the same exact case in my S7 and catapulted that thing across the room a few times by accident.
I hate fat cases too.

Correct. I bought a Spigen one that came the same day. Probably put it on an hour after the skin. Case here
Happy with the case and fairly happy with the skin. It's a little rough on the sides. Feels scratchy and I notice it more on the right since it is very slightly off center. Looks flawless around the camera but you can tell at the power button when viewing in person. First skin though so I'm not too mad.
I was looking for something as close to the Google Silicon case from the OG Pixel since I loved that case! I own both the Incipio DualPro and the Spigen Thin Fit cases.
https://www.amazon.com/Incipio-DualPro-Google-Shock-Absorbing-Protective/dp/B0766FMYBJ?th=1
The Incepio is probably the closest to the Google case, has good grip and seems like it would offer great drop protection. The downside is that it is a bit bulkier than I like.
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Google-Coated-Surface-Excellent/dp/B07475C1VT/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1520454246&amp;sr=8-6&amp;keywords=pixel+2+xl+spigen
The Spigen is much thinner and has good grip. Obviously this one is going to offer less drop protection. I love it so far, the only thing I have noticed is that the near the charger, the lip of the case is slightly pointy which can be uncomfortable for me since I like to use my pinky to hold up the phone.
Sure edited post to add this
I bought the crystal one you mention ans i hated because it doesn't keep the spirit of the phone it makes it bulky and cheap. I bought this one and i love it https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07475C1VT/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I have the Spigen Tough Armor, not slim by any means. I love the kick stand and I've used this since my Nexus 6, sturdy af.
I also have the Spigen Thin Fit, again followed from my Nexus 6. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07475C1VT
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I608BJ8/
They have a few varieties of mounts.
For the most part once I tighten it it stays. Though slowly it will come loose. At some point I will probably take some epoxy or something along that line and just permanently fix it in the position on want it. Probably when I break it from tightening or it wears too much to tighten.
It is held on by 3m tape.
I found that to be a good place to keep it out of the sun heat/ fan heat. Spot also cools off ok from AC. Also keeps my phone from blinding me when driving at night.
BIGGEST thing I like about that spot is that I don't have to stretch/reach like if it was up above the radio.
I also find that spot to be good because I can quickly steady my hand on shifter(people going to complain about that)/ find my position so I can quickly request new playlist or try and tap the voice command button if for some reason its not working by voice.
&#x200B;
EDIT!:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07475C1VT/
Using a slim case like this that has a depression in it so I don't actually have to stick the metal plate for the magnetic part to my phone or a case.
It works great with my Spigen and SUP cases. Specifically this and this
Spigen Ultra Hybrid try this case its been a favorite mine since the iphone 6. I still haven’t gotten a wireless charger. Im debating if i want one that is lying flat or if i want a charger that the phone can lean against. 😅 Decision!
Yeah, I used to use a Spigen Case and it was super thin. I love the black camo though...
This is the one I ordered (and it arrived Monday); Amazon advertises it as fitting both X and Xs, but Spigen's site isn't very clear. The photos look very similar, so it's hard to tell. I guess I'll find out on Friday.

With all the waiting since 4th october I went a bit mad and ordered a bunch of cases!
I got the Ringke Bevel, Spigen Thin Fit and also the Google fabric cement coloured case. Think that's not going to wear well at all as you already identified. Had to stop myself buying more! Very impatient for the phone to just arrive :) it's hard to say if any of the 3 I bought will be any good without the phone to put them on.
Spigen. They have some great cases. Durable and definitely protect your phone. This case is my go to.
I prefer the slim. And it's a white case since I'm bummed out that I got the PURPLE carrier nexus 6 :-/

I went with this case and this screen protector. They work good together, it helps keep the X slim but totally protected. I also have custom skin to show through the clear back.
