If anyone is looking for a very slim fit case for the 6P, Bell stores have the official Huawei OEM cases. They're pricey ($25) but that's expected for anything OEM.

Design-wise, it's almost the same as the Spigen Thin-Fit case except they're clear frosted instead of black and it covers to the top-edge a bit more than the Spigen one.

Some pics someone else posted on xda:
slimmest case - Post #37 - XDA Forums

Overall it's about perfect for a very minimal case, but it's likely worth no more than $5 if there is something similar online.

Yeah the bottom edge is quite sharp but i find that's always the case with these kind of cases.

Nexus 6P is on sale at Wind for $649 for the 32GB graphite model. Depending on who you speak to they might sell it to you outright.

I've read that it says "charging rapidly"on any charge over 2A. Both my OEM charger and my Tronsmart car charger both say it bit the car charger is rated @2.4A max.

Been having random reboots out of the blue again with the 6p. Contacted google support and they are sending me a new one. The rep was super easy to deal with as well.

My fingers crossed on this new one...

Mesh cables arrived from eBay. They look the same and have nice packaging. Too bad they fail the Chekr test. Gave up and saw that Google has cables in stock for $16.99. Ordered 3. Don't think any of the cables that Benson reviewed were cheaper than this.

I bought the Rankie type c to type c male cable and have confirmed with Ampere and Current Monitor that it is capable of the same charging speeds as the OEM Google type c to type c cable that comes with the phone.

Just got the 6.0.1 update for the phone. Seems about the same but with many more Emoji's. The update for Google Camera I thought was pretty good, the HDR shots process much faster than before and the app is just speedier in general.

6.0.1 fixed the washed out blacks
from others, it improved the ambient display (i never use it)

biggest thing for me would be that my xiaomi piston3s vol control works again.

Quick question regarding the 5X -- is the 16GB model enough for general use?

I'm considering a switch to Wind, and while they carry the 5X, it seems to be only available as the 16GB model (instead of the 32GB model which I would have preferred). I don't game on the phone, but I do use a variety of apps for practical situations, so I suspect I will need some space.

Need 32gb for sure. There is no SD card slot. If you store you music and pics you will ran out of space pretty quick with 16GB - MY

The type c to type c are generally ok. It's the older USB connector that has the need for higher requirements.
