The Nexus 6 has now been available in the market for nearly two months now. This is ample time for third-party accessory makers to release cases that are designed specifically for the gigantic device from Motorola and Google.

Even though the Nexus 6 is more resistant to nicks and dings when compared to the iPhone 6 and HTC One, it makes sense to use a case on the device because its large size makes it more prone to falling from your hands. If you are smart enough to realize this and are looking for a few case recommendations for the Nexus 6, scroll down.

Spigen Thin Fit

I am a big fan of cases from Spigen because of their top-notch build quality. If you are looking for a slim case for your Nexus 6, look no further than the Thin Fit case from Spigen.

Made from polycarbonate materials, the Thin Fit case is available in multiple colors, including a transparent ‘Crystal Clear’ one. All the cases also feature a cut out for the unique Motorola logo on the back of the handset.

At $14.99, the Spigen Thin Fit is slightly pricer than similar cases from other companies, but its top-notch build quality is well worth the price.

Case Mate Stand Folio Case

The combination of the front-facing speaker and the 6-inch Quad HD display make the Nexus 6 a perfect mobile device to watch movies or videos on the go, which is why the Stand Folio case from Case Mate is its perfect companion.

As its name suggests, the Stand Folio case has a built-in stand, so that you can place the phone on a table, sit back and enjoy some YouTube videos or movies without the hassle of holding the phone in your hands. The case also comes with 2 slots to hold your cards.

Being a flip based cover, the Stand Folio case offers ample protection to the front and back of your Nexus 6, albeit at the expense of a slightly increased thickness level.

At $40, the Stand Folio case is pretty expensive, but will easily last for a year or two of heavy duty use.

Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case

If you are looking for a stylish TPU case for your Nexus 6, the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit case is your best option. Available in a variety of colors and with a refreshing design, the TPU case also offers decent protection to your Nexus 6 from day-to-day falls.

The TPU case has a cut out at the rear for the Motorola logo and the Volume and Power buttons on the side. And at $9.99, the Bugdroid Circuit Case is priced just right to not burn a hole in your wallet.


In case you are not a fan of cases at all, make sure to have a look at Dbrand skins for the Nexus 6. While they don’t offer a significant protection against dings and drops, they will boost the fashion quotient of your Nexus by a notch making it stand out from the crowd.
