Minimalistic, super-thin case?

I got my case-mate Clear Armor screen/device protector yesterday (fit quite well by the way), and it came with a nice, soft, and thin cleaning cloth. And I realized - I want a case/pocket for my HD2 made of this or similar material. Will not increase thickness, will protect the device, which means perfect for carrying it in my jeans' pocket. It will also clean the device actually, and you could probably even take calls without removing it

at time 00:13. Mine is actually in silver color, very nice one.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I was so excited, I send an email to their support with the idea

Something like this?

It's nice because it doesn't add bulk and it protects against scratches, but it doesn't really help against drops and what not? I can live with a few mm of rubber to help soften the blow.

i just bought this hopefully turns out nice doesnt scratch on the inside or i might have to get one of those invisible shields

This thing looks quite good....Can you post some pics and review the quality of the case?

The case-mate I bought was exactly like this one. However, I'm talking about a simple case/pocket made of thin fabric. Haven't seen anything like that. Maybe I should claim a patent

Yeah, this one looks nice, but again doesn't protect the whole device and adds to the size. The invisible shield is better IMO.

More pictures and a comparison of Seidio Innocase Surface Case

I bought the purple case for my wife. Here are a few pics for those interested in a few more pictures of the case. I also have a few comparison shots with an EVO Shift that doesn't have a case as well so you can see how much thickness it adds. I like the case. It feels the same as the back of the Shift for the most part. Both the Shifts in the pictures also had the Seidio screen protectors installed which fit and feel great and have no adhesive. At $30 the case is a little spendy but it fits perfectly and doesn't feel like the top will pop off or anything. Was a good thing to spend some left over Christmas money on Sorry about the high ISO of the shots LOL, it is dark outside and I didn't want to use a flash and apparently the lighting wasn't the best.

5mm doesn't sound like much on paper. But side by side, wow it sure does look quite a bit thicker.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Though I have fat hands and the case I got made it a little easier to hold on too.

Nice case looks better then my shield combo from sprint

I just got my case today, and the front plate seems to want to fall off when I use the slide. Maybe I need to break in the case a bit...but it seems like it just barely fits.

has any one found a good leather or hip case that will fit the phone in the shell

In my first update I detailed the same issue: Seidio Innocase Surface Review (quick/dirty)
Basically you're going to have to carefully pry on your case to make a gap to fit the plastic in.

I have the HTC leather hip case from Best Buy from a previous phone. The Shift+Innocase fits nicely inside.

Phantom Skin on my Shift.

If anyone is considering this, I highly recommend it.

Man looks good but I'd love to see bigger pics of it

Hey looks awesome. Got the same one. Only diff is I got mine from Skinome. Love it.
Shifted from neverland using XDA Premium App

Is it a thick case like thing? Or is it more of a scratch proof film?
Looks preety nice though, how much did it run?

Got the exact same skin. Ireally like it that i had to reorder it when i got my phone replaced.
Installation tips. Leave the tiny bubbles alone. Theyll go away after a while. Dont be over zealous with pushing them out. To much preasure during the installation causes stretchmarks to appear on the film. Thats about my only critique of the thing.
Once its all set up... its perfect.
@caiaphas
Its a non-scratch film for the screen and non-scratch sticker for the rest. So it doest add match to the size of you device.
Phantom also sells the the full film kit for both body+screen. I do really like the look of the carbon-fiber body stickers.
Just go with the black though, dont be tempted with the white.... it might look good in theory but unless your phone is actually white, its not gonna look good
i dont need a signature

here is a larger of one of them. Looks good to me!

Thin cover. Stick on film. $29.99

One of the best mods ever done to my Shift. Has kept it protected and looks great. Plus it doesn't make the phone bulkier, like the snap on cases do.

Hard case? Kinda

I just had to buy another HD2 last night(I dropped my original
It came with a pink hard rubbery case.
Where can I find one that is black? It can't be more then 3 Bucks.
I looked on eGay, but they all look the same. All of them say silicone and the ones that say hard rubber look different.
Just can't find the damn thing.
Here is a pic. I don't want another rubbery jelly POS like OEM one.

Here's some:
1) Hard Case PS. It's terrible - broke after one week. (but I kept putting it on and off to be able to fit it into my dock.)
2) Rubbery Hard Case Don't remember what the oem case was like.

It doesn't really look like either one of those.

Dont they do 'bumpers' for these?

I was not able to find a good black case for my HD2 as well, will try this one

Our Chineese friends have probably taken care of us! Look on eGay (as you called it very correctly). Some good chineese man might have the solution to your quest XD

I have black perforated hard case. Cheap off flEabay, nice to hold and did survive a 2 foot drop onto tiled floor.
Otherwise I have full aluminum case (can get black) for mountain bike but a bit ott for the office ;-)

just to update, bought the cheaper case for £1.99
quite impressed much better than the one before, its quite a hard but still flexible gel case, only thing is the mic hole is slightly off, will be adjusting that tommorow

I purchased this case for £6.95 form AMazon yesterday and it came today. I wanted a thin case that offers as much protection as it could, and I believe this is that case. THis case is listed as $35 on thier website, I just wanted to say I dont think that it is worth that much.
The case has a hard, plastic structure with a layer of Brushed Aluminum on the back. This gives it a cool touch and a very nice texture. All cutouts are very well aligned and I have had no issues with audio or pressing the volume or power buttons. The pogo pins are also exposed which is nice as this is the only case I know where they have allowed them to be open. Overall the case is very good very slim and offers quite a lot of protection.
THe negatives come in the way of the design though. The huge poetic logo on the back of the case (see images) may put some people off as well as the bottom and top silver plastic being exposed on the device. Also the case is not that grippy to hold. Meaning it is very slippy to hold and may fall out of your hand.
Great case at a great price.

Here's my video:

Great review man... does it provide any protection to the front? What I mean is if you put the nexus face down does the glass touch the surface at all?

Thanks for putting up the review. That has got to be one ugly case though. I want my branding to be mostly invisible. That one screams LOOK AT ME!!!!! :silly:

Just recently got my nexus and I've been looking for a new case. I just recently dropped my nexus on concrete and the top right corner the I guess bezel or the silver gray material came off. Am wonder ok by if this case would provide decent protection against such a fall
