I know everyone is looking for the ideal case for their new Nexus 6P so I am here to help make that decision easier! I am a case addict and always end up with a plethora of them by the time I am ready to get a new phone. I usually start with whatever I can get my hands on and is a known good brand, then I go from there. I am going to add more cases to this OP as time goes on and they arrive. I will also add in measurements including thickness of each case in due time.
Spigen Rugged Armour:
Let me start by saying this isn't your ordinary TPU case. The back almost has a soft touch feeling to it without actually having a coating that would wear off like the Nexus 5 did. The faux carbon strips that flank the top/bottom of the case add a nice texture change to break up the otherwise boring back of the case.
Ports: The USB-C port has no issues fitting the official cable, or the one from the 22.5W charger. It has plenty of room without being overly large like some cases. Next the headphone port has ample size even for those of us with HUGE auxiliary connects and my friend @winwizard noticed today when he tried his.
Finger print cutout: The cutout here is my favorite so far because its barely bigger than the sensor which allows for better protection and it has a good tapered edge to it. Some of the cutouts are too big in my opinion and I would prefer one that is done with more precision becasue it makes the case feel better to the user.
Volume/Power buttons: All of the buttons "click" well and yes you can actually take screenshots. This case doesn't have the best buttons, but everything else is excellent. The buttons are still great, but there is a clear winner on that front.
Tempered Glass fit: No issues with the iVoler I have now
Overall: 9.5/10 everything is great and it would be perfect if it had the buttons of the winner down below.
TUDIA:
TUDIA always makes great cases that are high quality and fit well which is what makes me com back to them for all of my phones. The case has a nice grip and feel but its not as good as the Spigen but still a great case.
I'm going to repeat some things here becasue there is only so much you can say about certain things
Ports:The USB-C port has no issues fitting the official cable, or the one from the 22.5W charger. It has plenty of room without being overly large like some cases. The headphone cutout is the largest one so far and should have no issues fitting any cable.
Finger print cutout: This cutout is the largest one in my opinion which isn't ideal for me. There is a nice glossy beveled edge to it which helps your finger better feel its way onto the sensor so that's a big plus.
Volume/Power buttons: All of the buttons "click" well and yes you can actually take screenshots. This case doesn't have the best buttons, but everything else is excellent. The buttons are still great, but there is a clear winner on that front.
Tempered Glass fit: No issues with the iVoler I have now
Overall: 9.0/10 The large fingerprint cutout might be great for some but it's not something that I enjoy
Diztronic:
Diztronic is known to make nice cases and this one is no exception for the most part. The case is more flimsy compared to the other 2 TPU cases which is disappointing to me because its around the same thickness. The feel is very similar to the Spigen but seems to attract scratches easier so keep that in mind.

Ports:The USB-C port has no issues fitting the official cable, or the one from the 22.5W charger. It has plenty of room without being overly large like some cases. The headphone cutout is big but smaller than the TUDIA while still keeping the square cutout. It should fit all of your headphones just fine.
Finger print cutout: This cutout is the big but still smaller than the one on the TUDIA. The overall feel of the cutout is nice and it maintains the beveled edge that the other cases have. I have another case (Verus) that has a terrible cutout so I'm glad this one is on part with the TUDIA and Supcase.
Volume/Power buttons: This case by far has the best buttons! They click exceptionally well so despite the cases other shortcomings this is a major win in its favor. There is some material left out to make the resistance lower for the button click which can be a two way street of good/bad. Its good for the 'clickiness' of the buttons but bad because it allows dirt in and may affect the longevity of the case.
Tempered Glass fit: No issues with the iVoler I have now
Overall: 8.75/10 The loose fit is disappointing as is the flimsy feeling of the case but the great buttons make up for some of the issues.
SupCase:
Supcase makes a nice hybrid style case in their Beetle series. This particular case has a solid heavy duty feeling TPU bumper with a Polycarbonate back featuring a frost finish. This case feels like a tank without all of the bulk that you might see on similar cases. The one downside is the frost inside coating scratches easily while putting your phone in. I don't know if you can see it in the pictures but I already have 2 scratches on it. I don't think it detracts from the case enough to be concerning but it's worth mentioning.

Ports:The USB-C port has no issues fitting the official cable, or the one from the 22.5W charger. It has plenty of room without being overly large like some cases. The headphone cutout is the smallest of the batch and won't fit any big cables without modification.
Finger print cutout: This cutout sits somewhere between the size of the Spigen and Diztronic. It feels nice with the same beveled edge but the overall feel is better due to the polycarbonate back of the case.
Volume/Power buttons: The buttons all have a solid click and there are no issues at all with them. There is a little more resistance required to push them than you would see on the TUDIA, but by no means are they bad.
Tempered Glass fit: No issues with the iVoler I have now
Overall: 9.25/10 The small headphone cutout might be a no go for some people, but this case is a tank while maintaining a slim profile thanks to its hybrid design.
Last but least pictures!
Cases Coming Soon: Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Ringke Fusion Clear, Adopted Clear, Verus
