Slippery Nexus 6 ...

Why did they design it to be so slippery !!! ... what were they thinking?

Mine is more slippery than a wet bar of soap. I use it in a CruzerLite BugDroid TPU case and that solves the problem quite nicely.

Wow! There's nothing worse than a $650 electronic device so slippery its ready to slip out of your hands an fall to ground any minute. Why the hell would they design it like that? That's what is nice about the n5 in that respect, it's plenty grippy.

I'd be a lot happier if the exterior of my nexus 6 were the same as my nexus 5. I never needed or wanted a case for my nexus 5.

I personally don't find it so slippery. Much less than my wife's z3.

It's not just this phone, it seems to be a trend. The M8 is plenty slippery, even the iPhone 6 is tough to hang on to. I'm not a case person either so I learn to deal with it, but I never feel fully comfortable.

Definitely slippery. Got the Ringke Fusion clear smoke case. You can still see the beautiful device and it adds a very nice grip.

I find my iPhone 6 plus is way more slippery than the nexus 6. I have to use it in a case. I find the back of the nexus actually provides a pretty good grip.

This is my sixth Android (Droid 1, X2, Xoom, Razr Maxx, Turbo) ... the N6 is much more slippery than any of them ... comparable to a wet bar of soap.

I put a dbrand skin on mine. that has helped a decent amount without adding bulk.

I prefer my phone to go commando .

We should not need to buy stuff to correct their design deficiencies. My immediate reaction would be to return it! I have a dozen days left to make a final decision.
