Best very thin/low bulk Inc case?

I want a case for my Incredible, that doesn't make it feel so bulky. Something light and thin yet offering decent protection.
What's the best option here? Seidio Surface? Griffin Reveal?

I got a 'speck' case recently from Verizon's site for $5. Its been in a few threads on this site. Very protective and doesn't feel bulky. Those seido ones look way too big, and they're expensive.

I just purchased a Seidio Innocase from amazon and it looks great and is not bulky. I carry it around in a hip case which my old otterbox didnt fit in.

Just got the Seidio Active case, but may not be what you're looking for.
I don't think it's bulky just because I already think our phone is too slim and too difficult to hold comfortably; it adds 2.2mm to depth of phone.

This may be what you're looking for:

i ordered the seidio rugged combo, comes with innocase and belt clip, i like it better than the otterbox defender, less bulk, solid and secure feel, and if you dont want the added bulk, you can just remove the "rugged" case and use the provided innocase..expensive but great buy, 2 cases in 1...

I have the Otterbox Commuter Case and it's perfect for me. The Defender series is like a tank comparatively.

I have the Seidio Surface case and I don't even notice a difference thickness wise. Seidio advertized it only adds 2mm to the phone's thickness.

Seidio is awesome. I have the ACTIVE Blue.
I got it off of amazon a bit cheaper than the Seidio site, but totally worth it!

Kinda like trying to handle that bar of soap that's been used down to about a quarter of an inch thick... Personally I liked the Body Glove case. My only gripe about it was the lip around the face of the phone was too big. It made using the full qwerty impossible and down actions on the track pad difficult. Good luck finding one though. The stores that have them keep them right next to the chicken teeth.

I too have the Seidio Surface case. It's great. Very slim, yet it offers protection to the camera lens.

I just got the seidio active case and i like it also its not bulky to me and it fits the phone really good.

I use the Incipio Feather case. It sounds like exactly what you're looking for. Decent protection and so slim you almost don't even know its there.

hey do you all use a screen protector with your phones? I dont like screen protectors, but went with the barely there case and got scratches because it went face down once.

used to use one but not anymore. My screen shattered with one on and I never got a scratch before (6 months of having it and dropping it, sliding it face down).
Replaced the screen for $30 and now I don't use one because it's a hassle that I don't need.
It's useful for a lot of people though.

High Gloss Silicone
The Verizon High Gloss Silicone case is inexpensive, protects well, and add just enough thickness to protect the camera lense. My phone bounces when dropped onto concrete, but still slides easily in and out of my pocket.

Had shipped from Verizon for less than $10. It's what you are looking for. This is the case I have now after the speck case. Very light weight. Speck was nice, just turns from red to salmon after a while.

I use the otterbox commuter. It adds some much needed depth to my phone, as I love the dInc, but its too thin for me to hold comfortably. The added depth also has the pleasant side effect of protecting the camera lens. Its over a year old and there's not a scratch on the camera lens; only scratches on it are 2 corners nicked from a drop (cleaning the phone without the case on it) and some minor pocket rash on the screen.

My speck case makes my phone indestructible

+1. -- I've had this case since I've had my phone (brought case for $20 at that time) and I love this case. Doesn't at any weight or bulk to the phone. Phone is easy to take out of phone, does not get stuck like the other 'rubber' cases. Protects the phone very well, ports and buttons are accessible. Case is very easy to put on the phone and remove as well. I love it!

[Q] Cant choose between two cases!!

So just got the nexus s 4g, wanna get a really really slim minimalist case almost a bumper type case, so I narrowed between two choices the Nexus S Ringke Case or the Incipio feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case. And i ddint seem to find any other good alternatives between those, any suggestions? I posted the link to both below.

Incipio Feather is less bulky and more slim than any silicon/TPU cases.

If your picky and takes care of your phone go with the feather by incipio. Tpu case if your more caresless and drops phones constantly

a review on the incipio site said the case needed to be trimmed to fit the 4g? I am also trying to decide on the incipio because its made for the nexus s and the NS4g is a bit thicker.

Incipio fits well on my NS4G, and since every case isn't exactly the same u might have to trim only little bit on top of power button cut out, more like scraping off some plastic, sharp knife will help. I strongly recommend that case, I love it.

ditto. my wife and i both have incipio feather case, i'm a phone in the pocket guy so need something light and thin that doesnt add bulk. only thing i wish it it covered top and bottom better, but no biggie. and my power button works fine, the cutout is not centered to it, i thought about trimming the top of the cutout like 1mm MAYBE, but not necessary. great case for the $, check deals on amazon.

i would go for the rearth ringke. Nice case and good deal on the bundle (w/2 audio plugs and screen protectors, even if they are a little small).

Man, im way to hard on my phones to use a sleek case. i tape two 4" pieces of foam top either side of mine

Good hard plastic case

Hey all,
I ready own a rubberized otter box for my vivid but don't care for it because it gets caught in my pocket. I do a lot of transferring between my hand and pocket with my phone throughout the day and would like to purchase a different case.
Any ideas as to what would be a good plastic case for the vivid. If you could include urls to the item that would be great!

Speck Candyshell. You can't go wrong. Hard plastic on the outside and rubber on the inside and it doesn't add a lot of bulk. That's just my opinion...

I have the body glove.it's like a hard rubber but it works great with my pockets and it pretty slim to

I loved my Candyshell, but I wouldn't recommend it. Unless they've fixed this, the candyshell didn't last too long under normal usage. The rubber started coming apart very quickly. I got mine back in November, so maybe this isn't an issue anymore. I stopped using that one and have the otterbox commuter case on now. It's definitely more bulky, but also a lot more protected

I have a candyshell on. Definetly feels protected especially when it feels like your about to break it getting the phone in. Other then that great case.

The Seidio Surface case hands down. It offers a great balance between bulkiness and level of protection. Plus it has a nice matte finish that is smooth to the touch.

I have a white speck candyshell, and I love it. Dropped my phone many times, not a scratch on the phone. Highly recommend it

I had the white speck case also and my vivid fell from my pocket and the screen shattered..

I was going to get one of these for my Vivid, the Active version with the kickstand, but they sold out =[
I ended up with an Incipio case, and I was pleasantly surprised after trying it out alongside 3 other cases, it won hands down. It's a rubber inner core with a hard plastic shell to hold it onto the phone, with a velvety-rubbery feel on the outside. It's about half the size as the Otterbox case but coupled with a screen protector (I got matte finish) it feels just as protected. Considerable edge lift too when placing the phone face-down on surfaces. The velvety rubber surface also enters and exits my pockets with ease, and I frequently wear jeans... Not tight, but the pockets aren't huge either.
Highly recommend the Incipio case.

+1. I threw out my Otterbox after having the stupid cheap and HUGE holster replaced 3 times. I've had the Seidio now longer than all 3 of the Otter's, and it's still holding strong. I'll never buy an Otter again. The Seidio rules.

Best slim snap on for titanium note 2?

Looking for thin snap on case that does not get oily easy and has decent grip but not to rubbery. Any recomendation?
Thanks.

Rearth Ringke Slim Lite. It's only about 9-10bucks.

This is the nilikin slim case. I have it in black and white and love it. Doesn't add too much bulk at all and is still protective.
Doin' big thangs from my Note Deuce

bear motion has a very nice case. i got a grey one off amazon. it has some type of micro fiber texture so it doesnt slip from my hand when reaching across the big screen with my thumb.
i have a sf matte as well. bear motion is a lot nicer imo

Review: Incipio DualPro vs Otterbox Commuter

Before even picking up my G2, I purchased the Incipio DualPro as a starter case. After a couple weeks with it, I bought an Otterbox Commuter. And I must say, I prefer the Otterbox hands-down, even though the cases are fairly similar. Here is why:
Both cases use a silicone slip-cover with a hard shell exterior. On the Incipio, the silicone case feels very floppy while the Otterbox is actually quite sturdy and rigid feeling for a "soft cover." The cover on each surrounds the phone and provides an area around the top that raises the phone's screen off of the surface if you have it face-down. This raised front is a bit higher on the Otterbox too.
The hard shell on the Incipio only holds the left and right sides of the soft case against the phone, while the top and bottom sides are left to flop around. This is my biggest disappointment with the Incipio, as the floppy cover gets tugged around alot while pulling the phone from your pocket.
And of course the Otterbox has some nice port covers for the USB port and headphone jack; though they are a little fiddly to close all the way.
The back of the Incipio doesn't cover the rear buttons at all, it's just left open, which could be nice if you like the feel of the G2's buttons as they are. But with the Otterbox, the buttons are covered and I think actually gives a better feel for where the power button is. Both cases also feel only slightly more grippy than no case. The Otterbox probably feels a bit more slippery than the Incipio, but not by much. And the Incipio feels like it sticks in the pocket worse. The Incipio also seems to hold on to lint/dust from pockets far worse.
Lastly, the Otterbox feels decidedly like it would protect the phone much better than the Incipio. On the exposed soft cover parts of the Otterbox on the sides, you can actually squeeze them and feel the air-gap where shocks would be absorbed. The Otterbox actually dampens the phone vibration feature a bit, so you can really tell it could take a drop. And it dosen't feel at all more bulky than the Incipio because of it.

Yea the otterbox it's solid but it ruins the feel of the phones slimness. ..I guess I will use if I ever go rock climbing though

I'm not quoting that lol but I agree the one issue with the duelpro is the soft rubber on the bottom. Tops not to bad but it could definitely be more ridged.

Thanks! I was waiting for this thread as i was considering buying an incipio case a month ago

Thanks!
Some pictures?

Interesting. I have the Verizon version and the main reason I got the Incipio Dual Pro is because the soft inner silicone portion of the case covers up the smaller back buttons. This makes it easier to discern the smaller Verizon power button from the volume buttons.

Someone post some pic of the Otterbox here. And the pics on Incipio's site are spot-on I'd say.

Yeah the rubber top and bottom is a little annoying in gathering pocket lint, but otherwise id say I like the incipio a little more because it feels smoother in my hand.
