Since there is no barely there case can anyone tell me what is a good thin case?
Incipio Feather for the regular Nexus S is probably the closest thing to what you're looking for. It will fit the 4g, but the power button cutout is a little off center. Doesn't really bother me at all, though--I really like the case.
Off center is fine as long as it fits
No white? Blue it is
Thanks

I have a feather too. Great case, doesnt completely cover the top n bottom of the phone but it doesnt bother me.
I jus ordered a feather. Hopefully it will be here soon. Thinness I can find
Update. Feather came today. Looks very nice. Volume is off center and I had to ever-so-slightly trim it. Very nice. Thin, feels better in my hand. $16 on eBay for the black one.
a picture is like 1000 words ...
Taken w my wife's epic 4g. Hard to snap great pics and hold it lol. Very happy w the case after the slight trim where the volume is.
Still sexy thin?

Pretty nice .. Thank you for the pictures.
i bought a red feather case black was sold out at the time and thought red would be a nice change. Turns out i didn't like the red, i used RIT dye and dyed it black using a trick i remembered from my diamond years ago, came out very well. Got bored and started to use sandpaper to give it some texture, after about an hour i have a silver case with black Incipio engraving.. pretty nice. Finished off with smooth straight strokes with sandpaper. Ended up with a fairly good looking stainless steelish case.

I wrote a short review and posted it to my site (site has affiliate and non-affiliate link) along with 11 pictures. Here is a copy of the review.
Here is the case, the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case, I just purchased for my Nexus S 4G from Amazon. As you can see by the pictures, the case definitely lives up to its name, it is very thin and also very light. I’ve only owned it for an hour so I will not be able to report on its durability, nor will I drop my phone to test it.
The case is easy to put on and has a snug fit. The holes for the volume buttons, camera, flash and speaker line up perfectly. However, this case was designed for the Nexus S so the hole for the power button doesn’t match perfectly but doesn’t interfere with its operation. I’m able to wake and power the phone on/off easily. The case is open at the bottom and shouldn’t obstruct the use with the mini-usb and headphone jack with a dock.
It feels a little slick but not as slick as the back without a cover. I can’t feel a discernible difference in the weight and size of the phone with the case on. I can imagine this will prevent a lot of the small dings and scratches but wouldn’t offer much protection if you drop your phone. I usually buy cases for my phone but end up taking them off because of the added bulk. For me, this one is a keeper.

I think Ringke is the best case for 4g. Nice texture, good protection, looks good and fits phone perfectly. This case surpassed all my expectations.
Presenting to you: Trident's Aegis Case for the Google Nexus 7
Let's Review...
Trident offers tough cases that are proudly made in the USA. I've had several Trident cases in the past (HTC EVO 4G, HTC Flyer, Samsung Galaxy Nexus and now the Nexus 7) I would describe Trident as an Otterbox alternative with a pop of color.
What's In The Box?
Silicone cover
Polycarbonate shell
Screen protector (glossy finish)
Cleaning cloth and applicator card
Aesthetics
I'm a fan of bright colors that stand out, so I like that Trident has chosen to provide color options for their Aegis case. The case comes in Green, Red, Pink, Blue or Black. I opted for the "Trident Green" and am impressed with how bright the case is. The case is just as vibrant as it looked on Trident's website. Trident went with more simplified branding on this case with having only the Trident shield logo in the center of the case and only having the actual "Trident" words logo on the inside of the silicone case. The polycarbonate shell is mostly textured with a few smooth areas.
Protection
This case offers what I'd consider mid-level protection. It has a thick silicone cover to protect from drops along with port covers for the microUSB port and headphone jack. The silicone is very grippy and makes it much less likely for the tablet to slip from your hands. The Polycarbonate shell adds a bit more protection and helps make the case feel much more solid. The only protection you get for the screen is the included screen protector. I'm not a big fan of the glossy screen protector, so I kept my matte one on.
Price
The Trident Aegis case runs $44.95 (+ free shipping on U.S. orders) on Trident's website (www.TridentCase.com) which I feel is a bit steep.
Final Thoughts:
I've only had this case for a day so far, but I don't see myself taking this off anytime soon. My "official" N7 folio case seemed to make my N7 slip from my hands way too easily and the flap would get in the way. I feel much more confident in letting my kids (3 &4) play on my tablet now without the need to hover over them. If you're looking for a case that stands out and offers a bit more grip and protection, I'd definitely recommend you try this case out.
Note: The pics attached were taken from my GNex with flash, so they're a bit washed out.

This is awesome news!! I have an aegis on my razr with 4different color skins and it is my favorite case I have ever had. I also had a cyclops on my x.

That's weird. I've never had any issues with their customer service. I had the Cyclops case for my old Evo 4g and had an issue with the proximity sensor (it was a yellow case) and they replaced it quickly. I also had a problem with a screen protector not fitting right and they sent me a new one quickly too.

Well I got the cases today. I really like them. I put the red and blue on my kid's tablets. Not even a few hours after I put them on, my daughter (she's 3 1/2), was chewing on the silicon part of the case and cracked the screen. It's sadly funny. They've had their tablets for about 2-3 months and have done great with them. They had Samsung Captivates before they had these. I totally didn't think about the "candy" color and the "gummy" part of the case. And did I have the accident protection for her tablet? No, of course not, DOH! After I get her tablet fixed or repaired, sadly, even though I love the Trident case, I'll be getting a full Otterbox for hers. Nothing chewy on that, lol.

Wow! That sucks. Otterbox might be a good way to go for the little one. I let the kids take over my original iPad when I got the N7, lol. Hope you don't have much trouble getting it repaired.
I'm so pumped!! I just used the promo code and got me a baby blue case. I was going to get pink, but hopefully they will sell just the soft parts of the case separate later on and I'll get it then.

So today I noticed that my green silicone case is starting to stain in all the exposed areas. I've contacted Trident customer service to return it. Has anyone else had issues with other colors staining so easily? I haven't had this problem with my green aegis case for my gnex. I'm really disappointed.

Can anyone tell me how thick this case is and how much it weighs? I was thinking about getting this case but am concerned about the size because I keep it in my pocket during the day. Thanks!

From their site:
Length:8.00 in
Width:5.00 in
Height:0.63 in
Weight:0.32 lb
I'd say its too thick to be pocketed from my hands on experience. Also, the silicone is very grippy, so it would probably be hard to put in or take out of your pocket (it was difficult in a pair of fubu sweatpants). I'm gonna switch to Cruzerlite's Androidified A2 case. Not as much protection, but it better suits my needs.

In assume you meant pocket. I keep it in my leg pocket on my flight suit. It is much larger then a normal pocket on your jeans. However that would be funny to watch someone try to cram in in a pair of jeans. I guess it would not be much worse than a galaxy note II

Finally got mine in the mail today in blue. It's awesome!! I screwed up putting the screen protector in though and got a bunch of lint under it so ended up having too throw it away. I don't need a screen protector anyways. Case looks and fits awesome.

Got my case in today, and am very pleased with it.
But......I ordered a roll of white Carbon Fiber 3M Di-Noc vinyl for a reason. After some testing, heat gun application, and stretching........
It's a little rough around the edges, couple of overlap bumps, broke through one corner (too much heat, too much stretch), but overall, I love it. Goes sooooooo well with the white phone. And I have just enough left over to redo it should I see fit. This one wasn't perfect but it was my first attempt at applying a vinyl on a compound corner(s) like that.
I love it. I may have to steal this idea from you. The white carbon fiber looks so sick

I think once I get my taxes back I'm going to order and all back Incipio Dualpro and do the plastic piece on it. I think I'd rather have a little more coverage around the phone. The feather is nice (especially out of the box, the rubbery black feels so good and fits the phone so well), but it's a little on the thin side and I tend to get drop happy from time to time.
Looks awesome man

Let me know how it comes out. I'm waiting for my taxes to come back before dropping coin on a Dualpro, but I think it's where I'm ultimately going to end up. I'd rater have complete coverage around the phone moreso than what the Feather gives.

just ordered this case, hoping it will fit nicely. Anyone have it? just ordered the sprint variant.
had same thing for my s4 i had white, the only bad side with silcon being white it got dirt stains QUICK was awesome case though
Havent seen that but the corners of the case look a bit thin. If youre not clumsy than that looks okay. It looks kinda awesome though

cool i ordered the black red one.... for my new g2 woot. ty for your input. not very clumsy only dropped my htc 1 once or twice and never fallen on a hard surface usually fell on the carpet.
not my type, but hope it fits?
My wife has the same case but for her GS3 but black on black, it is also available at five below if you have one that is local.
Just got the Verizon black leather variant of the G4 yesterday. I had read that some people didn't think the Verizon leather felt as nice/soft/leathery as the tan leather offered by T-Mobile, but decided to go ahead and order the leather from V anyway. It's not terrible, but I agree it feels a bit "textured plastic" like. Is there consensus that the tan T-Mobile backs are indeed better than Verizon's black one? I guess I would prefer something that feels a little more like a leather work glove or baseball glove that softens overtime. The tan one looks like it might be more like that? Verizon's leather doesn't feel like it will do that at all, but perhaps I'm wrong. I know there are lots of different places to buy backs and I've looked at a bunch, but not sure which to try. The different color backs from LG appear like they are the same texture as the black Verizon one. Do they have the same feel or different/better? Are there differences between the different carrier phones that I need to make sure I get a back for a Verizon phone, or are they interchangeable between carriers? I'd appreciate hearing opinions on the best feeling leather option out there, and if you happen to have a link to the one you bought, even better!
Thanks in advance!
I would guess that the two different texture backs have different feel/wearing characteristics. The tan leather seems smooth, but the black (at least the Sprint variety) is bumpy/stiffer.
The black and other colors are textured and feel more stiff in comparison to the smooth brown leather for the T-Mobile version. The smooth T-Mobile brown back is more prone to damage though since it's soft. The black and other colors will hold up better to wear.

Are the backs interchangeable between carriers? Would a T-Mobile smooth brown back work on the Verizon model?

Thanks! Now to see if I can find one to try out.
Well, I guess buy a leather case from Spigen or somewhere else. DesignSkin's leather cases are not bad. I think buying a leather case is the best option. Find a leather case that really make your phone look awesome.
