Top 5 Google Nexus 6 cases – Christmas 2014

Today we’re going to look at some of the very best cases available for the Google Nexus 6. The phone has only just been truly available in the UK, with stock persisting on the Google Play store and a range of online and physical retailers. If you’ve picked one up or know a friend or family member who has, then you’ll want to see these selections that’ll help you get the most of out of your phone – and keep it safe too.

5. Encase FlexiShield Gel Case – Smoke BlackFrost WhiteBluePurple

This flexible gel case for the Nexus 6 is a good place to begin our tour. The case is very simple, with a full covering of the back and sides of your phone and not much else. That simplicity makes for a slim case though, and its flexible nature makes it easy to put on and take off of your phone. The FlexiShield is available in a nice range of colours too, making it easy to add a bit of your personal style to your Nexus 6.

4. UAG Maverick Protective Case – Clear

This unique clear case for the Nexus 6 adds a heavy dose of protection and style, while still allowing your colour of choice to shine through. Whether you’ve chosen the blue or white model, you’ll like the contrasting black trim and rugged sensibility that the case adds. The UAG Maverick is also quite protective, boasting excellent drop protection and full scratch coverage too. The Maverick also comes with a free Nexus 6 screen protector, so you don’t need to pick one up separately.

3. Spigen Neo Hybrid Case – Gun MetalSatin SilverDante RedGold

The Neo Hybrid is another strong case, with a surprisingly slim design that allows you to maintain the svelte signature of the Nexus 6. The case uses a hybrid design, with a combination of TPU and polycarbonate providing the requisite barrier against drops and scratches. The case’s two-tone design looks great in each colour, but I prefer the neutral tones of the gun metal option shown above.

2. Obliq Flex Pro Case – MintBlackGreyPink

Our runner-up this time is the Obliq Flex Pro, a newcomer to our site. The case impresses with its combination of textures, with a smooth midsection and grippy caps top and bottom. Besides being easy and comfortable to hold, the case is also great when it comes to protection – the screen is protected by an extended lip, and the body is completely covered save for a few cutouts. There are a nice selection of colours available too, from the black and pink options shown above to the mint and grey options. A tip-top case that looks great with the Nexus 6.

1. Case-Mate Tough Naked Case – Clear

Our second clear case, and the winner today, is the Case-Mate Tough Naked. As well as being fun to say, the case shows off your Nexus 6 without exposing it to possible harm. The Tough Naked is made from impact-resistant plastic, with a kickstand embedded in the rear of the case and cutouts wherever necessary. The look provided by the fully transparent case is quite impressive, and combined with the case’s protective credentials, makes it an easy choice for number 1.
