Alright, I see the Ballistic, Trident, and Reiko. The Seidio and Incipio don't seem very protective to me. I like the Trident and Reiko most for the dust covers, but does anyone know if the Reiko has a built in screen protector on the plastic inner shell? Is there any other rugged cases I should know about? Thanks!
Also, the title should really be "Most protective rugged case," sorry guys and gals.
I am pretty sure that the trident is the biggest case.
I got myself a ballistic knock-off and I am not sure if the real thing is better but if it isn't the trident is larger by a wide margin. The trident also doesn't come with a built in screen protector, but instead a separate static cling but I'm sure you know that from the youtube reviews.
As for the Reiko.. I don't have it but from the videos and whatnot, seems like a comparable case. I like how the hard shell is encased by the softer shock absorbing rubber. Don't think it has a built in screen protector because they sell static cling films on their own web site, and I see them being paired with some on ebay listings.

There's no built-in screen protector on the Reiko, just a silicone and plastic combo case.
There are so many to choose from. I want something that covers all the edges of the glass, not just the sides. It shouldn't add too much bulk and look and feel decent.

spigen slim armor
I got myself spigen neo hybrid. But later on ordered slim armor because it is slimmer, and fits better in my hand. I use it with tempered glass screen protector. After couple falls on concrete not a single mark.
In my opinion neo hybrid adds huge bulk. If you want some protection with less bulk, you should try cruzerlite or diztronic tpu cases. Those are cheap and covers all edges without adding too much bulk. I personally used diztronic matte black with cheap tempered glass a few months but now I'm using LG hardshell cuz I wanted ultra thin case.
I use the spigen tempered glass screen protector with their ultra hybrid case. it fell countless times and not a sinlge mark . i dont like bulk too, and i can tell you that its less bulky than expected. keep this in mind: less bulk = less protection. (from my experience)
I'm a big fan of the slim armor case. I've tried the neo hybrid, the tech21, the sip case superlegerra, and the trident case and the slim armor is my favorite of all. It looks great and stays looking great, no wear after months of use. A little bit of bulk but you stop noticing it after a few minutes.
I use the Spigen Slim Armor. I've dropped my phone at least 5 times onto hard surfaces or concrete and no broken screen yet. My phone was in the car door sill when my wife tried to close it repeatedly and although the case shell has small marks on the edges, the screen is in tact with no damage. For me it's as good as the Otterbox Commuter I had on my previous phones but slimmer.

Spigen Neo Hybrid :good:
I really like my Diiztronic TPU case. Nice and slim, though because it is not clear I have been using a Luvvit Clear Hybrid. the Luvvit is slimmer than the other hybrids and fits more like a pure TPU.

i'll give a +1 to the Diztronic TPU case. very simple and doesnt add any bulk. not going to protect from a hard fall but will keep off the grease and scuffs from everyday use.

Google Bumper case for nexus 5 is very nice.
First time when I got a nice usable original case.
Spigen slim armour..not too bulky and protects well...think it was $15 on amazon.
I always rock an Otterbox Commuter case on my phones mainly for work conditions can get rough at times. From what I've seen, Otterbox is only offering their Defender series (too big and bulky) and their Symmetry series (thinner, one piece case). I've decided to go with the Symmetry series and I'm pleasantly surprised. It definitely adds a little bit of bulk, but not as much as the Commuter, while offering great all-around protection. The one piece design is easy to put on and remove (unlike previous Symmetry cases I've tried on other phones). I do wish that there was a bit of grip on the sides like the Speck Presidio series cases, but I like the design. Unfortunately the only options were clear, pink, or black.... so I went with black.
So what's your choice for a protective case? Share pics and comments.
I too normally use the Otterbox defender for my phones but I wanted to try something new. I bought a poetic revolution for myself and a supcase unicorn beetle pro for my wife. They appeared a little slimmer and had port covers which I wanted. Amazon says they will arrive tomorrow so I shall see.

I had the unicorn beetle pro for my Nexus 6 and it's a nice cheaper alternative to the defender, but it still adds more bulk than the commuter case. I may look into the poetic case though. Let me know how they work out for you. ?
I went to Best Buy and tried out the Defender case. Definitely too bulky and I hate the built in screen protector (and it doesn't sit well over a glass screen protector, even if you take out the built in one).
You may not like the poetic as it has the built in screen protector. I'm used to the bulk of the defender so I'm not a great judge of the size. I will tell you the poetic is smaller then the supcase unicorn beetle. Built in port covers are nice too, overall it is a smaller rugged case you can say.
just received the Poetic Karbon Shield Slim Fit Case With Anti-Slip Side Grip and Carbon Fiber Texture. it's a slimmer-fit case that offers (what i believe is) more protection than a thin TPU case. sharing pictures for those interested to know how it fits the G6. i also have tempered glass screen protector on the phone as well. you'll also notice in the first pic that wireless charing works with the case on the phone. i usually go with a much thinner case but i really like the look and feel of this one. will give it a week or so before i decide if it's a keeper. (please excuse the dust in the pictures - our HVAC ducts were being cleaned when i took these pictures).
Went from a Note 3 with Otterbox Commuter to a G6 with Spigen "Tough Armor" case, and am satisfied with it. Feels like it provides just as much protection as the Otterbox Commuter, yet not adding quite as much bulk. I'm kinda rough with my phones sometimes, and I'd have peace of mind if I were to accidentally drop my G6 from waist-height or so.
If you choose to go with Spigen, definitely buy it off Amazon, rather than directly from Spigen's website; it's cheaper off Amazon.

I almost went with this case but I got this one instead. It's the Caseology.
This Poetic has been great for me after a few days of use. Lightweight, decent protection, and good grip.

I just ordered this one on Amazon. Saw the office and couldn't pass it up. Glad to see it looks good, and works well with a glass protector. I got the Spigen glass 2 pack as I've always liked everything Spigen makes.
Was gonna get the unicorn beetle that I had for my s7e, but don't think I need that much protection on this one, plus no edge screens that I need to prevent my palm from hitting lol.
Update: I hate the Karbon case. Doesn't fit tightly and leaves gaps at the edges on the front. I guess for $8 it'll hold me over until I get a good case, but this one is not staying pass this weekend.

I would go for the Spigen Rugged Amor, it’s much slimmer and provide pretty much the same protection as the symmerty series http://www.the-reviewr.com/best-lg-g6-case/

Do you have pics of what it looks like on your phone?
Thanks!
So guys I'm searching for a good protective case that doesn't add too much bulk. I'm torn between the Poetic Revolution and the Supcase Unicorn Beetle. I like the way the Poetic looks except for the cutout on back, I prefer the Unicorns Cutouts. If anyone here has any pics to share, that be awesome. Or unless someone has another case to throw in the mix. THanks
I made a YouTube video comparing these 4 clear cases. They were all pretty good but if you can only have one:

Thanks for the comparison!
Liked and subscribed for no other reason than the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack playing in the background. One of my favorite soundtracks.
I agree with your assessment on the UAG. I was not impressed with its quality, fit, and finish, especially for a $40 case. It's really a $17 to $19 case. I am rocking a cheap case currently, similar to the Spigen but just a TPU case.

I like my ghosted case. It fits well and it seems protective.
just bought the Ringke Air LG G6 case from Amazon, comes in Clear and Smoked, really like it
So guys I need some opinions here. I torn between two cases and would like some help deciding. I can't decide between the two.
1. Ringke Fusion: https://goo.gl/tGKqRx
2. Spigen Ultra Hybrid: https://goo.gl/9sd0jZ
Any pros and cons would definitely help. Thanks.
I just got this phone for my wife and we got a cheap case at a small phone shop. The problem with the case is its hard to swipe the side of the screen on the left side because of the lip on the case.
Do any of these have that issue?

What did you end up getting?
I just got the Spigen, because I was happy with this case on previous phones. I'm disappointed by this case for 3 reasons:
Gap at fingerprint button and camera openings allow dust and dirt to get underneath case
Back of case is very slippery because the edges curve in
Back plastic makes direct contact with whatever surface you put phone on. So the back will get scratched as it slides around.
I'm thinking of getting the Ringke, but Amazon reviews state dust gets in from the back openings (like the Spigen) and it's loose on one side. I guess the curved back of the G6 is the reason. The opening for the fingerprint sensor is not chamfered on the Ringke. The Spigen cutout is chamfered and smaller. Using the fingerprint sensor is comfortable and precise on the Spigen. The Ringke has TPU feet on the back corners, so it won't slide on a surface and the back plastic won't get scratched. I like how the Ringke comes in smoked black, whereas the Spigen is only available in clear (which will yellow eventually).

So I went with the Ringke Fusion ink black with clear back and it does get dirt and debris around cutouts. I should have gone with the smoke back because the clear is a fingerprint magnet. I'm constantly wiping the back off as it looks horrible with all them smudges on it. But besides that it's an ok case. But I am in search of a new case as I'm tired of this one now lol.

I ordered the Ringke smoked TPU case (no hard back plastic) because it's smoked and there's a 30% off coupon if you buy another Ringke product on Amazon.

I'm returning the Spigen Ultra Hybrid.
Spigen is the best one.
Went with Poetic for corner protection & price
I used to like clear case, but overtime they turn yellowish
Best clear case for LG G6. UAG vs Spigen vs Poetic vs Ghostek
I loved my Spigen case. It has fit precisely on my LG G6 and provides ultimate protection.
I loved the feel of my Spigen case, but it's definitely a finger print magnet and yellowed over time, and it picked up blue from my jeans, so it's a mess. I wish they had the same case available in solid colors or at least tinted. I moved on to a Spigen thin fit hard shell case for now. No more clear cases for me.
I will suggest Spigen cases for LG G6 .
Howdy, guys.
Just ordered a NIB 10 which should be here by Friday. Looking for some help on the following:
1) Case with a HOLSTER. I've owned Seidio and Otterbox before, but it seems as HTC slips in popularity behind iPhone, Samsung and others, we're not getting the 'love' we used to. Looking for something fairly thin - I'm not in construction and don't need anything 'bulletproof' - but I'll take what I can get.
2) Screen protector. Been reading a lot about the glass protectors and how they don't work too well on the curved edges on the 10. Wondering if there was any final consensus on what works best. Should I go with a film protector like the 3M Vikuiti?
Thanks in advance!
Supcase on Amazon is what I have to avoid damage from my little kids. Comes with holster and built-in screen protector.
A film protector would look better but I've settled with the built-in one until I find time to switch it. YouTube videos show how easy it is to remove.

As for screen protector, I say the Zagg HDX. Sadly, this one is not sell by Zagg online, you'll have to go to one of Zagg retailers. You could check is one is near you via Zagg online page. A lot of their retailer have this printer like machine, that cuts the film used to the phone specs.

I will politely direct your attention to item #1 in my post where I asked for a case with a HOLSTER.
I use this holster (https://www.amazon.com/HTC-10-Kicks...id=1495180539&sr=1-10&keywords=htc+10+holster) and this case (https://www.incipio.com/cases/smart...phone-cases/htc-10-cases/ngp-htc-10-case.html).
When I use the Incipio phone case, the phone isn't as snug in the holster as when I use the original case that came with the holster, but the phone definitely does not fall when I have my holster in a vertical (or even at a 45 degree) position. The holster I got was not from that amazon seller, but it's the exact same generic holster that comes with most of the htc 10 case+holster combo. Notice that in this combo the case has 2 layers. There are other types of holster+combo case in which the case is only single layer and those holsters might be different.

I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01F67D0YE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But I think you're right - the holsters designed to accommodate the dual-layer cases that have a silicone inner and hard plastic outer can probably be used for something like the Incipio or Seidio cases. I guess I'll live with it a while this way, and see how it goes.
Is there a cheap ebay glass screen protector that covers the whole screen? The one I bought is millimeters away from the end of the viewing screen
