I have the Adopted case from the Google Store in black, but they also sell a clear version. It's a little bit pricier, but it is totally worth it. The case is of a much higher quality than you find on eBay imo.

I also have the Adopted case - it is actually quite thin and does not add much at all to the overall size of the device - still allows one hand use with no problems (and I have small hands). And it is nice and "grippy" - in my month of using it, I have not once had an "almost slipped and dropped it" moment.

Picked up the Google case for 1/2 off with my 5X during their sale last week. I've had the case less than a week and there's already wear on the felt. It's a little hard to tell from my pic but I would not recommend the case. Going back to Google and picking up a Diztronic.

I totally agree. My hands aren't the biggest either. It's the whole reason I got the N5X instead of the 6P. Anyway, the Adopted case is very thin on the phone. I love that the sides are textured. It makes it very easy to grip. The only time my phone has been dropped is when I fell asleep with it in my bed and it fell onto the floor. Between the case and the glass screen protector there isn't a scratch on the phone.

My only complaint about this case would be the price. It is certainly a great quality case, and I don't regret buying it one bit. I just wish I would have waited instead of ordering it with the phone. The black Friday sale Google had was great. Hell I should have waited to buy the phone too. I could have saved $90 altogether.

I'm a huge fan of Diztronic, so I'd go with their Nexus 5x case.

Not clear, though.

I've been using Diztronic cases for at least about 4 years and I've never had an issue - dropped my phones dozens of times and never a scratch.

The case for the Nexus 5X fits perfectly.

I think that I will buy this case once my phone arrives. I was worried that it might be big and add bulk like the nexus 5 case, but from what you say this case sounds great.

I have the supcase unicorn beetle and I'm thoroughly impressed. I wanted a heavy duty with a built in screen protector and this was the only one I could find.

If you're familiar with the , its not as bulky but I feel it gives me more than adequate protection
