We’re back again with another review for one of our favorite case manufactures, Poetic. This time we’re taking a look at the Affinity case for the Nexus 6, arguably the most popular phone among hardcore android fans. With Google going back to charging full flagship prices for their Nexus devices, it only makes sense to protect your investment as much as possible and the Affinity is a great option to protect your phone without adding a ton of bulk.

Look And Feel

The Affinity for the Nexus 6 shares it’s looks with the Affinity for the iPhone 6 which we reviewed last month. With a clear frosted back, you’ll definitely be able to show off the Cloud White or Midnight Blue Nexus 6. The bottom and sides of the case are black hard TPU material. The same frosted material that covers the back is cut into the sides of the case so you can see in that way too.

The Affinity makes the phone feel incredibly sturdy. The Nexus 6 is a well built phone in the first place but with this case on it you’ll shouldn’t have to worry about bending or forces that are applied to the body of the phone. Certainly not bend proof, but this case does provide excellent support to the frame. The fact that the Affinity can do this without adding much bulk to an already big phone is pretty impressive.

Protection

The Poetic Affinity is a bit of a hybrid case. It doesn’t come apart like other hybrid cases but it does feature two different parts of the case serving two different purposes. The first is the frosted plastic back I mentioned above. This isn’t going to add much in the way of grip but it will make your phone scratch proof which is pretty important with a big phone. Any damage to your phone is really going to stand out on the Nexus 6.

The second part of the case is the strong sides. With built in extra bumpers on the corners this thing is built to withstand a fall. The case gets a little fat on the corners but since you’re not normally touching the top corners on the back of the phone and there’s not much of a bulk issue on the bottom, this is basically protection with no cost of functionality. This isn’t the most protective case ever made but it’ll definitely get you through the day with peace of mind about any drops you may have.

The plastic on the back isn’t very thick but I don’t doubt it would protect the casing of the phone, from more than scratches, in case of drops on the back. With only a cut out for the camera, but maintaining the awesome curved back of the phone, the Affinity defility is a full coverage case. I love that you can get protection while still seeing the back of the phone. I think Motorola did an excellent job with the design of the Nexus 6 and the Affinity gets major points for protecting my phone and not covering it up.

Conclusion

There’s a reason that people know the name Poetic. Their cases are really high quality for a low price and the Poetic Affinity is no different. We definitely give it points for the frosted back which shows off the design of the phone and the padded corners of the case for extra protection from falls. It’s impossible to make a case for the Nexus 6 and make it not feel due to the enormous size of the Nexus 6 but Poetic does as well as you can here.

You can pick up the Poetic Affinity for the Nexus 6 on Amazon for $12.95 with free Prime shipping.
