The green tough armor case has a far more smooth back piece than the models for the 3a, 4a, or 5a. Those versions of the tough armor had a bit of a gummy soft touch feel, making gripping the device easier. It was more grippy. The 6a tough armor is smoother. I am returning it as I can see it sliding out of my hand easier. The black tough armor just arrived today and I instantly could tell the difference. It is a gripper finish. I prefer it, personally. I'm going to give poetic cases a try.
I have the Rugged Armor on my current Samsung phone and love it, especially after years of wading through cases that "sag," around the Charging Port. It'd be my "go to" case for any phone, but not here, as I'm not a fan of those bulging corners. Still, the Liquid Air looks just as good!
If you're in contact with Spigen....dude... tell them to bring back their best case they ever made... the Slim Armour Wallet Case. It was a two piece design, TPU soft inner your phone sat inside, and then a polycarbonate shell that surrounded it on the back, it had a great hinge and front cover also of polycarbonate....it was sleek and protected the phone, you could run a tempered glass screen protector with it as well and still be able to close the wallet cover. The one I had was for the Galaxy Note 3...yes way back when, but it was a gorgeous case, that one even had a clear polycarbonate window that worked with the copper pins underneath the battery cover on the Note(remember the S-View window?) that would shrink down the viewable screen to that size window, but they wouldn't need to have that, just the bare wallet case, polycarbonate and TPU.... nobody makes them like that anymore, and they were so good. I've been looking at buying a Pixel 6A and would kill for a Spigen Slim Armour Wallet for it 😅 What I'd also kill for, a RhinoShield Crash Guard bumper case, you know, just the outter bumper cover so you can run a skin on the back and a tempered glass screen protector, I used to run my Nexus' like that, but it doesn't seem like RhinoShield makes them anymore, at least for the 6A 😭
@@med8615 yes the phone had their tempered glass screen protector. Somehow the screen protector was fine, but the LCD itself was damaged. The phone fell out of my pocket while sitting down. Hoping the 6 and 6a are a little more durable but not holding my breath as I've already had to return my pixel 6. When I first received the phone the screen would randomly mess up. It would have times where it would not register touch input at all. I made several recordings of the screen and even recorded the phone going into the return box for the rma. I didn't hear back from google for like a month then got a notification that because the phone screen was "cracked" that I would have to pay $200 something for a new screen.... Since I had video proof of the phone being in perfect condition physically going into the shipping box they eventually refunded me the screen repair cost. The moral of the story is always take a recording of your phone going into the box for RMA. I've heard other people complain about the pixel 6 series screens cracking when coming out of cold weather.
Can somebody give me some feedback on it? What distinguishes the Pixel 6a Rugged Armor from the Thin Flat? Is there a significant size (bulky) difference between those two cases, or is it only a small difference? I see in the Rugged armour case we have side corner bumps so it will give some protection similarly the Thin fit case will provide any protection ?
First. The Rugged Armor is much more bulky than the thin fit, if you want the best protection without having a bulky case choose the rugged armor, if you want the thinnest possible (but obviously protects less) choose the thin fit. The liquid armor is like the thin fit but is more grippy thanks to its texture. Here are the cases from highest to lowest "bulk", (number 1 is the bulkiest). 1. Tough armor 2. Rugged armor 3. Ultra Hybrid 4. Liquid Armor 5. Thin fit
Whats the Difference Between Liquid Air and Rugged Armor? does Spigen Case crumble after like 2 yrs? my expirience with Unicord Beetle case is that they crumble after 2 yrs.
My brother used Rugged armour for his poco f1 for almost 3+ years. After 3 and half year case started to break from borders still other 3 edges were holding phone properly. So spigen case are best in class. Go for it, I have just ordered rugged armour for my new 6a. Other type of cases have issue of getting scratches and transperant one gets yellow tone after a 2-3 months.
Obviously the case will start to deteriorate after 2 years of use, if you take good care of it, it can last longer. Spigen has the best quality price relationship though. Just buy another one.
Unless they have changed it in the last couple days the Spigen and caseology screen protectors do not fit properly for the pixel 6a... They both have a black border around the screen protector which cuts into the screen real estate.
@@r.i.pfilthyfrank9835 it wasn't a problem with the pixel 6, my wife's 6a however yes the border cuts into the display. Instead I suggest getting the brand MagGlass from eBay. Comes in a two pack and it also has a screen aligner. It's the only other one I've seen that doesn't have the selfie punchout other than the Mr. Shields which shows a delivery of late September. The protectors with selfie punchouts just collect pocket lint.
Hello I want to buy official Google 6a case so can you please answer my question Tell me that in this case will there be dust scratch on back of phone after putting cover As i have used many covers in my old phone even after using cover there are many tiny scratches so just tell me Are they also be in 6a official case As its expensive case in India But i dont want any scratches even dont want dotty scratch so tell me should i buy this case or buy spigen cases it problem will be same in that
@@sathwikesampally1456 I always use black so I can only comment on that color. Never had a case fade on me. I still own all my previous model phones with the original Spigen case still on. All are still the original color.

no case literally can save from that scratches , but you can use skin for that , few are available in amazon & some premium are available from their website , prices are around ₹500.
@@vidstige7516 Ignore that comment. How the hell is a case going to make your phone more breakable? I have the Spigen Tough case on my 4a now and for the last two years (just ordered a 6a). I've dropped it a few times and the case did it's job perfectly.
@@vidstige7516 You need a little bit of luck, I used for my Honor 10 the case that was in the box (so very cheap), and although I'm very careful, I dropped my phone around 5 times from above 1 meter and each time, no scratch. After 3 years I had to buy a new case (the old one was yellowish and starting to rip) which I used for a little bit more than a year. It was a similar case, litterally one of the cheapest, and my phone never suffered damage. Also the original screen protector is still on it (however full of scratches), but the glass of my phone itself is still in perfect condition. My sister on the other hand had a more premium case, and the first time she dropped her phone, immediately severe damage.

Took the rugged Armor case after watching your video ! Your video helped me decide the best.! Thnxx.!❤

I've read that some cases cause problems with flash photography because the cases reflect the light back. Can someone test this with the Ultra Hybrid?
I’ve used all spigen models and none have given me such a problem.
I have a case (not spigen) it was rugged and clear case and yeah the flash reflects and it ruined the photo if you're using it.
Can somebody give me some feedback on it?

In addition to the design difference, the liquid air is thinner.

@@nimrod5565 i haven't tried any of them
great video! Which one is the lightest and which slimmest?
exactly the video I was looking for! thanks so much :)
Just ordered the rugged armour for around 9$
great video! Helped me to decide which one to choose
Glad I could help!
What would be your second and third choice
Want to ask. For ultra hybrid case. Does the back panel get oily/bubbly effect after you put the case on?
After some time, yes. You can clean it though
I'm using thin fit but the same is not good not durable.
THANK YOU FELLA
Spigen failed on crystal clear (Ultra hybrid) case, it blocks top speaker... WTF Spigen...
Bro, you forgot to include the spigen core Armor case
Is the ultra clear case slim?
It's not bulky but it's not the slimmest either.
Are all the cases compatible with thw gesture tap feature??
I'm using the "Thin Fit" version of the Spigen case and the double tap gesture on the back works every time.
@@TheBackOfTheClassroom is it true that colour fades in thin fit case..?

Im probably too late. But don't buy the clear case. Its yellowed few months later.

Oficial cases are overrated and overpriced
Very bad camera and light management. Try to put everything in frame with proper lighting condition.
I mean… it’s more than enough though
most of these cases will break your phone if dropped so just be aware.
