Been using this for 1 day now:
Amazon.com: Galaxy S6 Case, Spigen® [PREMIUM BUMPER] Galaxy S6 Case Bumper **NEW** [Neo Hybrid EX] [Satin Silver] Premium Bumper Case - [1 Back Protector Included] Hard Polycarbonate Frames Slim Dual Layer Protective Bumper Case for Galaxy S6 (2015)
If you truly want to show off the premium build of the GS6 (and still have some protection from a case), this is the way to go. I have a Ringke FUSION Crystal View (clear back) aslo, and it still doesn't show the back very well. The Ringke is a good case, but you won't find a "clear back" case that shows off the build better than "no back".
Now, I will say, the Spigen doesn't add much grip to the phone, where the Ringke did add some grip. So far though, I think the Spigen will be my daily driver.

I just ordered this baby, and I should get it on Saturday:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Prote...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU4397605
I normally don't use a case and I'd be comfortable without using one except that if I put it down on any smooth surface with any kind of incline, it slides right the heck off. I haven't dropped it yet, but I had it slide off of a table onto a tile floor last week (I put it down on a small stack of papers that shifted and turned into a ramp). It resulted in a small scratch on one corner, a small dent on the other, and a itty bitty chip under the screen on the same corner. Luckily, this unit was scheduled for an RMA due to a screen defect, so I will be getting a pristine one tomorrow.

my girl got that one and I'm about to return it, the back is hard to get off...I thought it would get better but it hasn't
I've tried three so far. The winner for me is the Seidio Dilex Pro (with holster) and I love it. Had a Seidio Surface on my HTC One M7 before and I'm liking the Dilex Pro. Tried a Verus Hard Drop Active (with holster) but didn't like the holster design. Also tried a i-Blason Transformer and it wasn't bad. For the price, I liked it better then the Verus.
I use the Tech21 Evo Check. I've been using Tech 21 cases for the past year or two and have been very happy with them. Good balance of protection and little bulk. I'm also fond of their aesthetics.

How is the Tech 21 protection wise? It just seems a little pricey for such a thin slim case.

Anyone try the Enther Clear Case? Seems to have incredible Amazon reviews. I figure for $10 what the heck.

Just got the new Samsung clear cover, and I love it so far. So light and small it adds almost no extra bulk. The sides are completely open, so nothing getting in the way of the power and volume buttons. But it provides a little ridge on the bottom to provide extra grip. In fact, there are grip improvements all around. It makes it easier to use with one hand because I'm not as apprehensive about it slipping out of my hand. The corner helps me keep the base of my thumb from touching the edge of the screen.
Does not appear to give much in the way of protection, but my main concern was grip without adding bulk, so it's not for everyone. But it's exactly what I was looking for.

I'm pretty much a minimalist when it comes to cases. I went through all kinds on a bunch of different phones, but always ended up back with pretty much the most slim TPU case I could find. The one I'm using now is this one:
Amazon.com: Galaxy S6 Case, Terrapin [SLIM FIT] Galaxy S6 Cover [Smoke Black] Premium Protective TPU Gel Case for Samsung Galaxy S6 - Smoke Black: Cell Phones & Accessories
It's just a plain old "smoke" colored TPU case that's just thick enough to flush out with the camera bump on the back, which was my biggest concern. Now the phone is protected plenty for me ... and it lays flat w/out an issue. The only thing I'm not totally thrilled with is that buttons are covered as well, but functionally it's fine and only took a day to get used to.
I haven't tried wireless charging w/ this case yet, so I cant comment on that.
I forgot to mention ... it's only $6 and "prime" ... and comes in other colors for those who would care for that. I figured even if I hated it, there was no real risk. Turns out I pretty much love it so far.

Just got this one in today and it looks great! Got it from Amazon, don't have enough posts on AC to post the link though :/
I'm really liking the way it looks on the phone too. Even with a tempered glass screen protector on, it still has a good amount of lip on the screen side. Time will tell though, on how it wears.

Just wanted to provide an update on this case for anyone who might be interested. It's a very nice case with two flaws -- one excusable, the other, fatal. First for the excusable. The manufacturer states that there are "cutouts for the phone's buttons." There are not. There is a rubbery overlay over the power and volume buttons. In fairness they still operate reasonably well but I don't like being mislead. Second problem is that you are unable to fit a phone recharger into the port on the bottom of the phone. The plastic surround prevents one from fully inserting a micro-usb plug. And that one is a deal-breaker. So back it went.

So I have the Obliq thin meta case and it blocks powermat charging. Qi works, but I have more powermats lying around, and it is starting to bum me out to not be using them.
Can those of you with first hand knowledge let us know the cases that work with powermat? Thanks!
