Searching for the thinnest case for Verizon G2.

Ok so I absolutely cannot stand the glossy back on this phone. I mean, it looks nice... if you never touch it. But man the smudges... its just terrible. That being said I am looking for a case, but only to get rid of that. I usually don't get cases because they add bulk, that is why I am in search of a super thin one. So, case suggestions for Verizon G2, hit me!

Incipio feather- got it for the exact same reason, adds hardly no bulk and a nice soft touch finish. I love mine.

Looks awesome, I will have to try it out

The Incipio Feather Shine is also great. I have been using it for almost a week now and have had multiple people tell me that they didn't even know a case was on the phone!

I like the diztronic case. It's probably not as thin as the feather, but it's really close plus it covers the top and the bottom. Fits really nice.

This one looks pretty thin, I just purchased the black will report back once I get it.

Just ordered the white.

Can always sand the back cover (there's a thread somewhere) or get a skin if you don't want a case.

I have both the incipio feather and diztronic and the incipio is the better of the 2 imo but the diztronic will offer alittle more protection.

I just got the Incipio Feather Shine and it's too slippery for me. I had a Feather before and I liked the tackiness. I can't stand the Feather Shine. What's the best case that's tacky like the Feather and is slim and just barely covers the phone.

I just got my matte black Diztronic. I can't imagine anything being thinner than it. It's pretty grippy, too.

Poetic sand or poetic softouch. Makes the incision feather look like an otterbox. The sand is the perfect grip adder

Is there one that fits the international version (or Sprint/T-mobile version). Only see ones for AT&T on amazon?

I had a matte black TPU case for my HTC Inspire back in the day that I really liked, it was only like $5 too! I could never remember what brand it was though. I know it wasn't Diztronic (they have their logo on all their stuff right?), but when I searched for TPU cases for my GNex they looked closest to it.
Anyways yeah the TPU case I had was pretty thin, I think I am gonna try the Feather though and see how that goes. :fingers-crossed:

I have one, too. It covers the back and sides quite well, and easily slides in/out of my front pocket.

The Diztronic cases are TPU cases and like all TPU cases, adds a decent lip around the edges of the screen = nasty.
The Incipio Feather is the best slim case around. I have a feather case on my wife's iPhone, my old Gnex, and new G2. It is made up of top notch material that won't flake off the coating and is very durable.
I honestly can't recommend any other slim cases. And don't go for the Feather Shine or whatever... just the plain jane Feather. I got the Blue one from Verizon. They are like $18 on Amazon. Walmart also carries them. Pretty popular cases.

Also have the Matte Black for the VS980. I usually hate cases but this one is pretty thin and has a slight lip on the front to help keep the screen from resting on anything. I love the grip and the way the case feels and like most says it easily slides in/out of pockets.

They look exactly the same as the Feather (but cheaper).
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-case-Sand-Black/dp/B00ED2DVZ2
Poetic also uses cheaper chinese plastics compared to Incipio, so you get what you pay for.
Also that case is not specific to the Verizon model. It appears to a be overall generic LG G2 case because of the additional unused microphone hole found only on the AT&T. Also the cutouts won't match the Verizon's smaller buttons.

Absolute thinnest case?

Anyone know a case that's little more than a thin plastic shell? Any TPU car would be too thick. I got a Quicksand case, but it's a mm thick (digital calipers read 1.06 mm). That's still too thick. Something less than 0.5 mm and hours up to the glad would be great.
I don't need any protection, I just hate the glossy plastic. I've got a Slickwrap, but it doesn't cover the edges and looks crappy. I would consider a skin or wrap that goes as far up the sides as the gray plastic line bisecting each edge.
I don't want to paint or sand down the plastic because I'm probably going to sell this phone if there's a Nexus phone this year.

I don't understand. Do you realize I'm looking for thin cases? Almost all TPU cases are going to be too thick because TPU would be too susceptible to tearing if molded so thin.
Now find me the TPU case that is susceptible to tearing due to thinness and I'll probably buy it. Like I said, protection means nothing. I just hate coming into contact with the glossy plastic.

Have this and love it. Barely adds anything to the phone.

Was just trying to help, this case is very thin imo. I haven't had any issues with tearing and the glosssy back is the same reason I bought it. Why not get a skin if all you want is to cover the back.

So we just need one specific for the VZW version.
I have a similar material one for my moto x and it's the best lightest protection ever! Very light weight and protects against scratches and mild bumps.

For Verizon, just use the Incipio Feather case. That is what I have, looks just like all these posted, and is designed for the Verizon model specifically (you can even buy them in any Verizon store).
I've had my incipio feather case on since day 1. Still looks great. My phone has had a few nasty spills and never had any damage... even the case looks new. It has a soft "rubber" like coating on it, but the case itself it hard and snaps on. Never had a problem with it coming off (it is actually quite hard to come off. It also has a TINY TINY lip that when facedown, will keep the screen off the surface.

That's what I have, and it's slippery. It's nothing like the blue/green textured ones that we were discussing, which aren't (today) avail for the VZW version.
edit: will also add that the incipio has sharp edges at the corners. The other one is not sharp like the incipio.

Try Body Glove skin, not a case but textured, comes in metallic, wood, carbon fiber, etc finishes. Its should be useful gor what you want/need and it covers the edges.

Body Glove Case

Body Glove LG G Flex Fusion with DuraStand
Very tight fit. Once it is in, it is hard to remove it.
2 stage projection in one. Thin rubber Lining + hard case. The volume and power volume button are cover but have no texture feel to them.
The screen is protected by a bumper rim.
The texture on the side provide, very good grip for handling.

that is nice. i have the incipio and the case rubber is very loose. im going to buy a body glove now

no one tried the casemate pop case simlar but slightly different i think it's a little more protective

Otterbox is garbage, ballistic and trident cases are the best cases ive ever used on a phone. Mybatt is okay but for this phone its terrible. I really liked the incipio,but, the silicone starts being stretchy after about a week or 2. I get my trident in a few days and i know it will be good,if not, back to ballistic i go

I'm telling you us like the body glove an the casemate again the casemate is white

My body glove is black brushed effect tpu .... Doesn't look like this one its a little less bulky/ durable but its saved my flex from 20+ random landing angles , drops from 5 foot or so. I'm really impressed with the different material they used for the screen. I show off its durability by tossing it ( with body glove case) from my pocket waists high to a couple feet from me AMD letting hit the floor on concrete too. Its not got the first scratch or crack. $#!+ rattles around inside but that let's me know its still kickin. J/k. Nothing rattles.

just got my Trident Aegis and its awesome....

Thinnest cases available

Could we post some of the thinnest cases we've found? Like Rinke slim, etc..
I like the cases that are so thin with the tops and bottoms open, but they seem to be rare nowadays

Not sure if it's thin enough for you but I like the way this looks. I think the reason very think and open cases are so rare is that they barely offer any protection with large phones

This is crazy thin and with the price might as well order just for the hell of it...
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Case...Back-Case-For-Samsung-Galaxy/32398559531.html

The Ringke Slim is one of the tiniest cases around and it covers the top and bottom of the case with a good amount of protection. The Ulak clear slim case is also very thin and offers a shock proof protection with it's tpu sides and clear back.

I'm not looking for major drop protection. I like ultra thin cases to mainly protect the finish and camera lens when I lay my phone on random surfaces, as well as hiding some of the awful fingerprints and finger grease.
Thanks guys

The official Samsung case is by far the slimmest case. If you want to even call it a case,
I had one for my S6 Edge and its basically like nothing is on the phone and just protects the corners and back glass.
But its expensive

Does anyone know if the rubber-ish looking stuff on the top and bottom are grippy?
I like how the glass on the note5 is grippy to the hand, but slippery in the pocket/on cloth.
My worry is that the polycarbonate might be the opposite -- and always catch going into a tighter pocket.

I'm not sure about this specific case, but I know what you mean. The glass is grippy to my fingers but a polycarbonate incipio case I bought for it is very slick. I may have to return it.

I'm hoping that Orzly will make one. I have their frost thin case on my S6 and love it. Just enough to protect against scratches and thin enough to keep the "feel" .

So, I received 2 Rinke slim cases, clear and black. I have the Rinke Fusion as well.
Quick impressions.
Clear Rinke Fusion. It's ok, slightly bulky for me tho. Fits perfect, cutouts are where they should be. Case has an annoying piece of tape/plastic on the inside that was a PITA to remove. I'd say it's a 7/10.
Rinke Slim, Black. Perfect fit, hugs the contours of the phone perfectly. Cutouts are great, especially around the Spen. I feel like the fusion case made it slightly more difficult to remove the spen, the Slim doesnt.
Rinke Slim, clear. I really really wanna use this case, it's crystal clear and looks so good on the phone. Problem is, it doesn't fit perfectly like the black version. When you slightly squeeze the sides, you can feel the case move. Really lame.

I'm also using the Ringke SF Black Case and it's very thin based on my thinness standards. pics are below (i'm reposting pictures from my post at Android Central).

Thinnest case

What is the thinnest case out? I don't necessarily like cases...just want something as thin as possible for scratch protection.

Rinkge Slim is probably the thinnest. It fits VERY well and is about as minimal as it gets. I really like it.
However, I switched to a TPU case because I can be a bit clumsy and needed more protection from drops on pavement.

If you just want scratch protection then a skin is the way to go.

I have this one and have had it on past phones and I felt it made the 5x quite a bit bigger for a "thin" case. Maybe because its designed to fit flush with the camera and since the camera protrudes out, it the case does too.

I've heard a lot about this one... Also the Nillkin Nature case keeps coming up, too, and lists itself as .66mm thick. That's a pretty slim case, and would be far thinner than my Cimo tpu case. I'm probably going to order both the Nillkin and Lg Hardshell and see which one is best. I like that the Nillkin comes in clear and smoked options, too, instead of just solid colors. Haven't been able to confirm that option on the LG case since it doesn't appear for sale in the US just yet.

Rinkge Slim is probably the thinnest. It fits VERY well and is about as minimal as it gets. I really like it.
However, I switched to a TPU case because I can be a bit clumsy and needed more protection from drops on pavement.

IMO the Ringke and Spigen "slim" cases look like Otterboxes in comparison to the LG Snap On, that one is basically like a hard skin. The quicksand cases are similar to those in thickness.

Based on this guy's caliper and Amazon.com, the Nillkin should be quite a bit thinner than the LG case...

How thin is the Nilkin? I don't see it advertised. The LG Snap On is advertised at 0.75mm but we don't know at which point of the case they measured.
The Nilkin is a gel case, or "condom" case as I like to call them. They are thin but that's about all they have going for them.

The nillkin is advertised at. 0.6mm. Not much for rugged protection, I suppose, but should be nice for some coverage without added bulk. Mine just shipped (from somewhere in east Asia) and should be here in about 2 weeks. Will keep y'all posted.

The Lg case has a s light inward curve to it so it's hard to get measurements. After trying multiple angles the thinnest I got was .80, that's coming straight up from the bottom.

Diztronic hands down

Just got the Nillkin. Definitely the thinnest TPU case I've ever owned. Also the buttons still retain most of their clicky feedback. This has happily replaced the Orzly as my main case.

This is awesome to hear. I'm pumped...the next 10+ days of waiting for mine to arrive from China are going to be tough! Mind if I ask, from where did you order yours?

I've got my Nillkin Nture TPU case. It's awesome! I don't have pics yet, but will try getting some for y'all when possible. In short, it's amazingly thin for TPU, adding minimal bulk. This is far superior and much thinner than my Cimo TPU case. It's not going to offer much drop protection, but I'm not too concerned about that. Plus it'll certainly prevent scratches. It also has a slight raised edge at the bezel so you can set the phone screen-down on a flat surface and the screen won't touch, but the added bonus here is that since its such a thin case, the offset is minimal which makes it MUCH easier to swipe left-to-right (for example to open an app menu or Google Now) than thicker TPU caes (which can often make it hard to touch the edge of the screen.
Anyway, I'm really happy about this case. It does had small flaps that cover and plug the charging alot and headphone jack, which I waver between liking and disliking. However, those could easily be cut off if wanted. Anyway, easily the best $10 I've ever spent on a case.

Hey I see the listing color options are white, gray, or gold. What color did you get? I'm wondering if by "white" do they actually mean clear?

Yup, the white is actually clear. That's the one I bought.

My Nillkin is on its way from China. I'm excited to get it. I'm using the Ringke Fusion right now and I think the profile is slim along the edges but the extra thickness is killing me.
With the Nillkin should I look into getting a screen protector for the camera lens or does the case lip around the camera keep it from touching the surface?
