Just ordered mine!
I love the 'slim' cases. I had a CaseMate 'barely there' case on my Note1, and was sad to see that they don't (at least yet) make it for the Note2. Soo I got a Ringke SLIM case. Seems pretty good so far.
I really like the way that this 'quicksand' case looks. The texture looks really cool. And hey, for $5 shipped, you can't really beat it!
Thanks for the heads up!

My coworker has the Ringke, there is a gap down the left side, if you squeeze it, you can feel it flex.
As for the finish, i hate how it shows fingerprints/sweat on it. The texture on this one helps hide that.

Yeeeaaahhh it does have that gap. It's such a small gap that sometimes it doesn't flex/move. It also has a weird cutout on the top right corner. I have no idea why they leave that corner open. I also HATE the fingerprint/smudge issue. I also have a Cruzerlite case, but it's too bulky for my taste.

Yeah that cutout baffles me as well.
I'll probably pick this up in a few more colors since its so good for the price.

My Ringke SLIM fits perfectly, but costs a lot more. The problem I have with these textured cases is my desk stand, which uses this tacky rubber to grip the phone. Doesn't work on a textured case.... so back on went the Ringke.

How grippy/textured is this case? Or shall I ask, how ABRASIVE, if at all? Does the inner-side have the same texture and do you feel it may wear on the phone in any way?

Inside is smooth. The outer texture is sorta like plastidip.

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.

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.
BUY: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008NMCPXW/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
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

Lol Im not a fan of the branding, but the case feels really nice in the hand

This would be the perfect "thin case".

I have a Samsung flip case which I love but the lack of drop protection is disconcerting. What would be awesome would be if someone made little clear gel "corner bumpers" that you could just fit over each corner and not all the way around the phone. They could be small and thin with a little stickiness on the inside to hold them on. It would be the ultimate "thin" case as it only protected the corners (the trouble spots).
Does such a thing exist?

or make your own and don't put any coloring in it. I think it will be as clear as silicone gel.

Thanks but I am looking for something premade and clear. That would look pretty ghetto.

mine doesn't look perfect, but it's only as ghetto as your art skills. get someone else to do it for you. It's not just silicone so not sticky after it sets.
It's the best drop protection you'll get on anything thin. plastic just transfers energy to the screen, rubber on the sides just adds bulk and there doesn't need to be anything on the back in most cases.
In reality though, most cases look ghetto compared to the gorgeous phones we get new and then cover up. My brother's iPhone bumpers are 5th or 6th generation Sugru, so he's getting pretty good at shaping them and they are only raised about 1/16" on the ends but a bit more for the face.

Wouldn't those just fall off if you dropped it on one of those corners? What holds that stuff in place, can it be removed without damage to the device? Residue, adhesive?

Spigen Neo Hybrid, for true !

They looks absolutely greats, in my mind
Take a look, are very very cheap

Fake...spigen doesn't even carry those colors and don't make this case for g2...looked on official spigen site
Wish they did really make them, the cases are exactly what I wanted when I bought my current spigen. OP, if you order, let us know how it fits.

I had the neo hybrid and the slim armor for my s4...both were great cases that don't take the slim quality away...I ordered a new slim armor for g2.
I have the case for a few days. The quality is absolutely OK for the price. :good:
The bottom cutouts are as good as perfect. The upper cutouts are not quite as perfect, but ok.
The case fits very tightly on the phone making it, it is not easy to get off again.
The reverse, however, is in my eyes a little too thin which makes it a little bit loose on the backside cutout. This can easily get dirt between phone and case.
Therefore, I have the case now sold again. As original Spigen, it would surely be better processed and thus the perfect case, but unfortunately not so.
Here are some photos which I have made before the sale :

Sorry for my bad english, but is translated by google
So is thicker like the "slim" armor?

The silicone part (it looks too rough to be TPU) looks almost identical to that of the Slim Armor's in size and thickness along the back... and if it is silicone, it'll be loose and floppy. It'll be thinner than the Slim Armor by a mm or so on the back without the plastic shell. The frame seems to make it at least as wide AND tall as the Slim Armor, and maybe even a bit thicker/taller.
thanks for the pics mr PeWeBe
Unfortunately It doesn't accept paypal, so I will wait for ebay.
I´m going to buy the black&gold one.
This one is look like nice and hard

Few cheap, thin cases from Amazon

Hello all, I just wanted to post up some opinions of cases I purchased from Amazon. I was looking for a thin light case that didn't take away from the design and added hardly any bulk.
First up is the Myriann 2 tone case
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0752H4YBN/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This case looked great on the website and I love the two tone colour look. I actually wish this is how the note 8 looked with silver border with the black front and back glass.
The case feels durable and a little on the thick side which is a shame. If it was a few mm thinner they would have had a winner in my opinion. I also really liked the carbon fire look back.

Second is this clear/bumper style case from KKTick.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07591K36V/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This case also looks really nice and is a little thinner than the one above, however it's still a bit thicker then I liked and the clear back was a bit of a figure print magnet. Worse than the glass back of the naked phone.
Third we have this rubber thin case from Nillkin.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B074WPDMG6/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I really liked this case and as soon as I put it on my Note 8 I thought we had a winner. The case is thin, sleek and doesn't feel cheap because it's a solid rubber coating. The only issue with this case is it's not very grippy on the side. So much so that if you hold it by the side alone the case slides down your hand. Such a same because I love the look of it.
Finally we have this stealthy matte black silicone case from vitutech.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B07529VKHZ/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This case is what I'm rocking right now. The case is super thin, has a decent amount of grip and looks as if it's not even on the phone. I can't really fault it except it could have been a little blacker in colour. But I'm just nit picking. This case was also the cheapest.
Hopefully you guys have enjoyed the photos and this gives you a better look at some of these cases. I have a few more on the way so I'll update this post when I continue to receive cases.
The 2nd one looks nice
they are good!
I want to get a thin case like that, but one drop and it's goodbye
