Hi All,
I'm looking for a new case, I want it to fit my tight jeans front pocket (now I have the Wrapsol front and back SP on my N2 and the only downside is that the bezel is not protected).
I thought about the Mercury case or some slim bumper.
Any recommendation ?
Thanks
I would get the Boxwave bamboo case, i have it and it's good protection cause it has a lip that protrudes over the edges just enough to most likely protect your screen & scren protector and its like $7 us dollars

Your best option is Case-Mate Tough http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37884573&postcount=105
Thank you guys for the suggestions, but I'm looking for a real slim case, I know that it will be with the cost of the protection but for that I have the UAG. I looking for a case with the Mercury dimensions~ but maybe with higher quality.
There is no other alternative. The slimmest you can go is skin-like TPU case. It will not offer much of a protection, and I had Mercury before - sorry, but its a slippery, glittery case with hardly any lip protection. The *only* relatively slim case that will offer you a drop protection, and I mean to the point that it will survive occasional drop on a concrete or stone pavers its Tough. There are a lot of other cases that are kind of slim and will offer you a decent drop protection, better than Tough, but nothing I have seen that comes close to slimness of Tough (check out my review link in signature for reviews of all the popular cases and even face off comparison).
The title of your thread is "Slim lightweight case with maximum protection ?". I guess "maximum protection" is a subjective term. I don't think the Mercury case (or any TPU case) or a bumper case offers that. If you want slim + max protection, then I strongly recommend the Speck Candyshell. The Samsung Protective Cover + is also good combo of slim and protection.
I didn't make this video.

Not sure about the protection as I just ordered mine today, but for $2.25 probably wouldn't hurt to try it out. Looks very, very slim in the pics. I also have the Speck Candyshell, very slim case. My only gripe about is the rubber around the lip is peeling and starting to look funky. It wasn't a cheap case, so I'm a little disappointed in that.

I completely agree. The rubber peeling on my case is minor and purely cosmetic (doesn't affect protection). It compliments all the scratches on the glossy black plastic to give the case a vintage look LOL. I got my case in December 2012.

Mine is in. I would consider the protection minimal, less than the Mercury, because the case is mostly open on both ends. I like the material, and it is slim. However it only offers scratch protection on the back of the case, no real drop protection.
i have to agree with vectron. the other two cases mentioned seem nice, but if you want quality, i would go with the Case-Mate Tough. Like vectron, I have many cases as well including the UAG, Tough, Mercury, Cruzerlite TPU (like the boxwave mentioned), Duzign Valor Slim, Elago Slim cases (black one is just like the $2.25 one mentioned), and the ITSkins Lava. The top 3 for protection in this order and feel are the 1) Casemate Tough (slim/protective) 2) UAG (slightly bulky (but skinnier than the rest of the cases out there like defender and commuter etc) with max protection)) 3) Duzign Valor (this case is only $6 and the feel is a soft matte/rubbery feel that is not slippery at all- the colors are amazing and I already dropped my phone on concrete with it from 4 feet- the case is smart- it has more than enough edge protection to protect the face and it protected my phone from any major damage- however, the downside is the top and bottom like all the slim cases (Elago, Spigen Ultra Thin, $2.25 case, etc) is that the top and bottom are not covered. My phone landed on the top unfortunately, and only a tiny scratch happened- the rest of the phone was unaffected and the case also was unaffected).
So, for every day use for a careful guy, Duzign is perfect- they also come in many different colors/feels. For every day use for a slightly clumsy person (I was wearing the wrong jacket with really open pockets when I dropped mine and was shaking my jacket up without realizing how big my pockets were and my phone jumped out, lol), I would go with the Case-Mate Tough- it's my current go to case at the moment. Finally, for a guy who just throws his phone onto the table or doesn't care if it falls down from time to time, the UAG is the best. That thing is beautiful and a beast- I have the white one and my Note 2 is white.
Here's a link for all the Duzign cases- they even have a leather one now: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n...duzign&ie=UTF8&qid=1363965798&rnid=2941120011
here are my pics of all my cases so you can compare:
Top Row (Left to Right): Custom Case-Mate Tough, Custom Case-Mate Tough, Case-Mate Tough (original- my current fav), Mercury TPU, Cimo TPU, Cruzerlite TPU
Bottom Row (Left to Right): UAG Navigator, Elago Slim, Elago Slim, Duzign Valor, Duzign Valor
There's a case called six abundant. I'm using it. It's kind of like the rearth slim case but it offers more eprotection especially for the top and bottom bezel. It was only $10.

This is very helpful information. Thank you :good:
How are the Tough dimensions compare to the Mercury TPU case (It seems like they are the same except from the thickness ) ?

You're very welcome. The Mercury is very similar in dimensions to the Tough. However the Mercury doesn't protect very well on the edges around the front nor does it line up perfectly like the Tough.
I want a very thin case/shell (not a TPU) that protects also the bottom chrome part

Just placed an order for the Black Case-Mate Tough. I will come back with my impression.
Thank you all.
What is the Slimmest grippiest case with a lip for the oneplus3?
I want the camera to have protection but i want a very slim and not that wobbly kind of case. I mean a tpu that is tooooo soft..
Ringke then.
Spigen rugged armor. Just got it. It's slim enough and it's got the perfect amount of lip protection for both the camera and the screen. Bonus : it's a looker.
The clear Ringke Fusion is thin, but solid. It also has little 'nubs' on the bottom that don't just keep the camera bump protected, but slightly lift the whole case off the surface/table/whatever. If anything, I wish the cutout for the headphone jack was just a bit bigger. I hate cases, in general, but this one is pretty good.

I don't have any experience with either of them but I did consider them both when I was looking. They are all smooth TPU cases so expect them to have a similar kind of protection and texture. My phone has much more grip with a TPU case than naked so I don't think you'll have much issue with any one of these cases. Just get whichever one appeals the most to you.
rhino shield? grippy and quite slim
I'm using the POETIC Affinity Black/Clear - very happy with it.
Fist off i tried a Cruzerlite case and not only was it a slightly baggy fit there was no camera protection at all, a shame really as the Bugdroid cases they used to make were brilliant. As this was being returned the Spigen case became available and it is far superior.
The Spigen Rugged Armor is an excellent fit, it feels at one with the phone if that makes sense and all the cut-outs are perfect and the camera module sits around 1mm below the surface of the case to offer it some protection, overall an excellent case that i would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

Any options for a belt clip holster?
Also what are your thoughts on some of the other Spigen cases for this phone
Sorry i have only used this Spigen case in particular but i cant praise it enough really, the fit is exceptional. The UK price for it was £9.99 and it was worth every penny really.
I forgot a link to it in the first post.
https://www.spigen.com/collections/...7t-case-rugged-armor-1?variant=30366585094191
It's a decent case but do wish the back (bottom) was a bit thicker to provide a greater recess for the camera circle. At $11 on amazon it's a bit pricey, but spigen materials and fitment is top notch. 4/5 stars.
I have always been using Spigen case with my OP2 and OP5T. Their cases are perfect. This time I went with OtterBox clear case as I wanted to see the blue back. Perfect fit.
Anyone know if it is compatible with Original Oneplus 7T 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector?
Or any of the Spigen cases are?
