Think I'll get the Aluminium one over the Graphite, since it seems like the Graphite is quite a finger print magnet.

Anyone decided what case they are going to get yet for the 6P? I am 50/50 if I should get one. On one hand, the phone is massive and adding any extra size will make it even more difficult to hold. But on the other hand aluminium prone to being a bit slippery at times (specially with slightly sweaty hands) and if it gets dropped it will be dented very easily. Hard choice.

im also undecided. I have had an M7 caseless for 2 years now and never dropped it. but the anodising (I have the Black M7) has rubbed off on the corners. If I do get one I want something as thin as possible.

I find MKBHD and TB to be pretty good with their reviews. Linus tech is also a good one for actually saying bad things about a device if they find some.

I'm going to get a Spigen case, more specifically this one: http://www.spigen.com/collections/nexus-6p/products/nexus-6p-case-rugged-armor

I'm also getting the screen protector from them, but I will be paying PBTech to apply it to the phone $10 for a perfect job is worth it.

The best way to apply the screen protector is to have it before you have the phone.

I applied it as soon as I remove the original plastic cover. I had someone at vodafone store did it for me - oh my I really hate the result and I can't sleep well the whole night until I went to get another screen protector haha.

Should we separate the thread for owners/discussions?

I think so, a thread for 5X + another for 6P?

Might pay to wait till next week though as none of us will have the device till next week...

you could be like the old guy at work that uses "the factory installed" screen protector. but he also leaves all the instore advertising on his tv etc.
