Camera lens

I just bought an aluminum red bumper for my Note 3, and to be honest it is pretty nice. I got for $5 from China. It gives you the same feel as the HTC One, which I really like. The only problem which I have with this bumper is that it let's the back facing 13 megapixel camera touch the surface, if the phone is placed faced down.
Now my question is, to what extent could keep resting the phone on its back without scratching the camera lens or bezel?
Thanks.

To the same extent as a naked phone. To be honest just keep it in your pocket. Worst case scenario lay it on a soft(er) surface.

In the past with cases that offer no camera protection I made a point of placing my phone camera up when laying it down anywhere. The front edge of the case usually protects the screen well by providing a lip so I'm not worried about the screen. YMMV
My current case is just such a case. I won't have it long. I prefer a nice front bumper and camera protection.

Do you use a case on your Nexus 6P?

As the title says. It absolutely ruins the beauty of this device for me.

I use a verus high pro shield (I think) most of the time. But when I am at home I use the phone without a casw

I use a Nillkin nature tpu case, which is clear and ultra thin. It won't do much against drops I presume but it does prevent the aluminium back getting scratched, which is what I use it for. I like it and don't think it ruins the beauty seeing as it's see through and adds virtually no bulk.

I use rinke fusion just cause I can add a lanyard to it. been like this since HTC one M8

Orzly TGSP and a dbrand skin on back. Purchased the official Google case but got tired of it because it added bulk.

Nope. I'm always very careful with my phones and purchased Nexus Protect in case of emergencies.

I use spigen rugged armor. Its slim and looks great.

I'm using a Supremery cover on long drives so I can stick my phone on the magnetic mount in my car.
Usually I hate covers because they destroy the beauty of a 700€ phone but yesterday I noticed that probably shouldn't have kept the phone in the same pocket as my comb as I now got scratches allover the upper edge. Small but visible.
I'll try to live with that...

Always wrap your thing!

Yes.
Currently on Moko Halo series Hybrid cover and rotate it with Poetic Affinity (courtesy of Poetic) and Adopted TPU from Google play store. I can't stand having a single scratch or scuff mark on my phone or screen.

Supcase Slim Hybrid for me when out, naked at home. What an amazing case, so much protection, so little bulk and a truly unique design.

This is my first smartphone without a case, but I did invest in a glass screen protector. Going strong with no problems for three months now.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case.... I actually dropped my phone the day before it arrived, so it's staying put!
(Luckily no damage from the drop, but my heart skipped a beat when it fell)

I have the supcase unicorn beetle. I like it pretty well. I have ordered a Evolutive labs Crash guard bumper with rhino shield. They have some pretty impressive test videos to check out if you haven't heard of them. Just an outer edge bumper so it still shows off most of the beauty of the n6p.

That might be an advice for at least one more thing in life. ?

Yes, I agree with you it can ruin the design of this phone but I bought a transparent ultra thin hard case and a 9H glass screen protector both for € 3,00 so I won't mind throwing the case away one day although there are already scratches on the case so I'm happy with it for now.

I used the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX the first couple of weeks, but I took it off once my dbrand skin got here. Pretty happy so far

Got the adopted case. Immediatly lost all love for the Nexus. Only using the case when alcohol is involved now.

I also use the Nillkin Nature with the Nillkin tempered glass. Is the thinnest case out there IMO.

Using Adopted Frost for now just to have some protection and still see the Aluminum through it...

Whitestone Dome - not fully compatible with Spigen slim armor

Bought the Whitestone Dome protector after hearing rave reviews about it. Paired it with the Spigen slim armor in all black, which is probably the most beautiful Spigen case in years.
Unfortunately, after a few hours I notice "spider cracks" forming at the bottom edge, and this morning a couple bubbles at the top edge. Turns out the lips on the slim armor is pushing against the protector ever so slightly. The sides are fine as far as I'm concerned. Just afraid that this is a "plague" that will eventually detatch the screen protector.
Other than that, it's a great screen protector and miles better than the ones I used to try on my s7 edge.

I've ordered the spigen air skin for my s9+ I hope it fits with my phone with my dome protector on.

Get the Spigen 593CS22943 Galaxy S9 Plus Case Neo Hybrid from Amazon. Works fine with the whitestone

Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't quite like the Neo hybrid series. Prefer something with a hard back. Used an ultra hybrid for my s7 previously but it turned yellow easily. Might consider cutting a little bit of the silicon on the slim armor instead...

I also purchased this whitestone some protector and a spigen air liquid case for a S9 plus.
Didn't applied the screen protector yet.
Now I am afraid of wasted my money with this expensive screen protector...

I have the Whitestone Dome glass on my Note 8 with the Spigen Armored clear case and it fits just fine. I'm hoping this holds to be true for the S9+ with that same case and glass.... I'll keep you guys posted. I'm thinking it should be fine though...

My Note 10+ case reviews

I have purchased a lot (way too many) cases for my Note 10 + Aura Glow 5G and so I thought I would share my favorites, daily drivers, garbage, and disappointments.
[Amazon] Meifigno Magic Series - It's a foggy black slightly see through case with a soft smooth matte finish. It is a case I keep handy pretty much when I'm going to more formal work events as it somewhat hides the flashy Aura Glow but you can still see through it somewhat and it's extremely durable while still being fashionable. it's not a cheap TPU it's very well made. $15.99
[Amazon] Spigen Ultra Hybrid - TPU on the sides yet very hard clear back to show the Aura Glow. This is my "go to the gym" case as it's got solid protection, is see through, and it feels solid in the hand w/ zero slip. $11.99
[Amazon] Design Skin Genuine Leather Phone Case and Card Holder for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, with Elastic Hand Strap for Extra Grip - Black - This case I had VERY high hopes for but in the end this was my biggest disappointment. At $24.99 I expected something perfect w/ this hand strap but the sides were flimsy (think car mount side bending, and the metal bars on the back are so big that wireless charging was impossible for all of my various chargers.
[Amazon] Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Salawat Slim PU Leather Vintage Shockproof Phone Case Cover Lightweight Soft TPU Bumper Hard PC Hybrid Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G 6.8inch (Dark Brown) This case looks very nice but it's all for show. The fake leather will fool anyone looking at it however it's a bit odd to hold as the leather folds into the black edges which are then very sharp which constantly catches my skin. Good protection and I will use it from time to time But not often at all. $9.99
[Amazon] ESR Mimic Series Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, 9H Tempered-Glass Back Cover, Flexible TPU Bumper, Hybrid Case for The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+/ 10 Plus /5G 6.8 inch (2019), Clear
Now this is a work of art. If you want the best looking case to show off your Aura Glow it's this one and will still give you solid protection. It actually has a 9H Tempered Glass back (finger print magnet but easy to wipe). It honestly doesn't get better than this. Great button feel too. This is my daily driver. $18.99
[Amazon] ESR Metal Kickstand Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Vertical and Horizontal Stand, Reinforced Drop Protection,Flexible TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ / 10 Plus / 5G 6.8" (2019),Clear This is my primary travel case due to it's incredibly solid feel for great protection, it's clear, and the kick stand is the best I have ever used as you can use it in many different angles as well as in Portrait mode! Additionally the stand is placed in a spot that allows for wireless charging on all of my chargers. This is the heaviest case I use, but granted the kickstand is metal so it's worth it. The additional gripping area due to the stand make the phone feel solid in your hand more than any other case I have. This could easily be the only case someone could have and never think of getting another. $18.99
[Amazon] Spigen Ultra Hybrid S Designed for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case/Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G Case (2019) - Crystal Clear - I love Spigen cases, but this one was just hot garbage as you would buy it for the stand and the stand is crap. Move on. $11.99
[Amazon] Eonfine Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Case,Built-in Screen Protector Heavy Duty Shockproof Rugged Cover for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus/Note 10 Plus 5G (Black+Clear)(Fingerprint Unlock with Fingerprint Film) This case is OK and I will only use it when I'm traveling internationally to Mexico or somewhere where I know I'll be on a beach a lot or doing some sports. It's fingerprint friendly for unlocking. It's not a big winner but will do the trick. $16.99
[Amazon] ESR Essential Zero Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Made with Slim, Clear, and Soft TPU, Flexible Silicone Case for The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ - It's a TPU case, works just fine, I like it, and use it if I'm doing some gym workouts but it's not my 1st choice as I like the other ESR case w/ the hard back more for the gym. It's just a bit slimmer. $10.99
[Ebay] Hybrid Shockproof Armor Kickstand Case Cover, it's cheap, $8, ok for someone that just wants a kickstand case on the cheap. Looks ok, black gripy back.
[Ebay] Leather Removable Wallet Magnetic Case Cover - for $11.95 I was actually happy w/ this case as you can take the phone out of the wallet case due to the phone case portion being attached to it via magnets and the phone case portion w/ leather looked nice. Unfortunately the plastic ends that clip the phone end broke very easily w/ in the 1st couple of days. They just didn't size it right making it far too tight and the fold puts pressure on the left side of the phone tabs where they broke.
[Ebay] Galaxy Note 10 Plus S10 Deluxe Leather Card Holder Flip Case Cover for $10 these were ok, I got 2 different colors. They are nice for "going out" and holds 1 card. If you're taking the spouse out to diner these are fine.
[Wish] I ordered a few of those ultra slim cases from wish which come from China and honestly I just love these things. They are the thinnest cases I buy, the phone buttons are exposed, and they have a small lip so if you place your phone face down on a flat surface the screen shouldn't touch the surface. They are like $3 each or something so I get a few colors. When you just want to not use a case but still want some protection for "just in case" these are the way to go.
I hope this helps, I didn't post links because I'm not endorsing any seller but I do have to give a shout out to ESR as they really did knock it out the park with their various cases and my top 3 cases for daily use (Work, Gym, going out) are all theirs and I would have chosen them regardless of who made it. I hope this helps!

Thank you for all that! What about Pitaka?

It's a nice and sturdy case if you actually use the magnetic holder feature. If not then I would look elsewhere as you're then paying for a feature that you won't use. I could use a magnet holder in my wife's BMW but I couldn't in my Honda S2000 sports car as it rides much harder and there isn't a magnet strong enough to hold the Note 10+ steady and not fall off.

Thanks about the thread, it really helps
Anyway the ESR essensial zero... is it fingerprint/smudge magnet too?bc I use ESR mimic and can't stand the fingerprint

Thanks for the detailed info, it reinforces why I purchased the ESR kickstand case last night from other reviewers. My question is which wireless chargers are you using and are you using any wireless stands in portrait mode? I can see that kickstand hump being an issue with many stands in that orientation. Thumbs up once again for your detailed experiences, much appreciated.

Clear S7+ case

Anyone have any luck finding a clear tpu case anywhere for the s7+? Everything I saw was shipping from overseas and delivery was nov/dec or it had issues like they forgot to cut the hole for the pen slot.

I ordered this one today. Ringke has one for s7 but not the plus yet https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08HHY6K18/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
