Yeah, I was looking at the Carbon case but I saw a review of it and it looked too flimsy. I think the adopted one is the same as the carbon but without the cheap looking carpet attached to the back of it.Hope I'm wrong though.
It does have some texture though, and the Q-Bert style cubes on it are also slightly raised adding texture.
It doesn't feel as solid as the bumper case on my Nexus 5, that's for sure, but the patterned part on the back isn't carpet
What cases are people ordering? I don't understand why Google haven't done a bumper case like they did for the Nexus 5. I bought that case immediately, solid but slightly flexible, thin but sturdy and retained the Nexus branding. Perfect fit. I'm looking at the Speck CandyShell black one on the Google site, dont like the look of it but looks about the best protection I can get and also looks like it's a flat design on the back which compensates for the sexy 'hump'.
