MattEast: I might be able to assist here, my last phone was an Xperia Z3...great phone that I was initially very happy with, however after a few weeks cracking appeared in the rear glass panel near the camera which was disappointing given the main reason I purchased it was for the watertightness. I might add that I didn't have the phone in a case for those first few weeks, however the phone was never dropped. Rear panel was replaced and phone was sealed in a nice Spigen Ultra Hybrid case....all was going well for about a month when more cracks appeared on the replacement rear panel (again the phone was not dropped or subjected to any force. At that point I started looking for a phone that didn't use glass as the primary component for the structure of the phone hence the Nexus 6P was the obvious choice. So far so good (no cracks as yet) an it hasn't bend in two like certain videos would have you believe. As a side, despite the Z3 and 6P sharing Sony camera sensors (albeit 20MP versus 12MP) the Nexus actually takes a better photo...not sure if the Z3 and Z5 sensors are the same.
MattEast: They had about 3 in each store apart from the CHC store...plus about 30 at head office...check stock at http://www.pbtech.co.nz/index.php?z=p&p=MPPSGP11797&name=Spigen-Nexus-6P-Case-Rugged-Armor-Black-SGP11797

MattEast: Not all all, marginally bigger than the actual case itself (standard Spigen black and orange cardboard box)...$11.50 seems a bit excessive, is that for same day delivery or something?
rayray: Finally got my case from TradeMe. It's nicer than I thought. Nice smooth rubber matt black finish. It will protect the back from scuffs and scratches and maybe even shocks, but the front, top and bottom are quite exposed.
lagbort: Just grabbed the last of the Spigen cases from PBTech Wellington.
Seems pretty nice, certainly makes the phone less slippery, can actually take photos now without holding the phone in both hands!

Can confirm - It's an awsome case! :)

Agreed it is a good case and yes it is exposed, but it held up fine while my Spigen was in transit...
Speaking of which, received the Spigen this morning and it's definitely a step up in the protection department ie. all sides covered, soft tpu material which should absorb knocks more and it's not a fingerprint magnet unlike the TM case. VERY Happy and well worth the NZD$35 I paid for it from eBay.
