Minimal slim ultra thin cases

OK so just picked up one of these bad boys to play with for a while. I usually pick up some type of nillkin snap on, diztronic, incipio or mercury pearl tpu.
With my nexus4 I got the ringe rearth, poetic atmosphere, but preferred the nillkin. Looked through the threads and noticed the only one available doesn't fit our phone.
I ordered the case-mate barely there for the atrix2 but it hasn't arrived yet and I've already switched to the AHD..
Looks like incipio also has a "feather" case..
Anyone have one on theirs? Or recommend any slim ultra thin minimal case that doesn't overlap the screen(much) and doesn't bubble wet application screen protectors?

I use a Diztronic clear black TPU case and it's worked excellent.

Do you use a wet application screen protector? If so, does it bubble/lift the edges?
I personally like their tpu but it's been my problem.

Picked up one of these guys and its pretty good http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smoke-TPU-P.../400347731437?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
Haven't installed a wet screen protector though, ordered one and it's on its way.

This seems to be a popular one;

Wonder if it's the same as this one. It looks the same/similar but is installed in a phone/dummy;

Ok so I got the incipio hard snapon. It was decent but added more bulk than I wanted. So I ordered the casemate hard snapon. It's slightly thinner. Looks good.

Case Show Down

As the title states, which case would you choose and why out of the three of them. Looking at the slim armor but want opinions from others who have any of them.

i have the slim armor soul black and the incipio teal blue case. i dont like the camera and button cutout on the incipio. they shouldve made it tighter and not so open. i havent opened the slim armor package yet to try it on due to waiting on my tempered glass screen protector, but it is a nice looking case. also spigen makes quality products ive ordered several cases from them in the past with no disappointments. the otterbox is just too big! (thats what she said) <--- get that out of the way. at least in my opinion.
so slim armor it is!

I had the commuter with my S4 and I liked it at first then tried on the Speck Candyshell and asked why I ever got the otterbox. It seems like there arn't as many choices with the G2 vs. the S4, might be cause of the whole VZW vs. others deal. I wanted to try the slim armor the first time around and I think i'm going to pull the trigger now that you mentioned that the Incipio isn't the best.
Thanks

That case is thinner than both your mentioned choices.

The shocksuit is awesome It is slimmer than the trident which is a lint collecter

Don't like any of those or the others suggested... Supcase Unicorn Beetle is all you need. Either the original or the pro, both are great.

What is the absolute thinnest hybrid case?

Want something super thin.

That's not a hybrid case. Hybrid cases use more than 1 type of material like a polycarbonate back and TPU bumper. The Tech 21 is the thinnest hybrid case I gave so far besidssbrhe Ringke; although the Tech 21 case is taller.

I think the Ringke is the best slim case out there. I currently have it on my s7 edge.

As I mentioned that's not a hybrid case. If the OP wants non-hyrbid cases that would be an excellent choice or the Spigen Thin Fit.

I ordered one, you don't feel the lip as rough? How about feeling the parts where its purposefully cut? I want grip, but will not sacrifice a premium thickness or feel for it. I was thinking this or the Incipio Feather.

You can check my reviews for cases, I don't have the Incipio feather, but i have 2 of their other cases. I'll have more to review shortly, and I might get some more slim ones as well. The Spigen Thin Fit isn't rough from what it recall

My wife tried one on her s7e. This case has a polycarbonate back, which is hard and slippery. Perhaps the back protects better against drops,but it also is going to cause them, too.
She's going to try a TPU back with PC bumper next.

Spigen Neo Hybrid UnBoxing/Review Video

Thanks for the contribution! I have the case too and I'm loving it. Very stylish, great protection, and yet still maintaining a thin profile. I dropped the phone a few times already and the case has protected the phone well. Highly recommended!

Good Video. Always been a fan of the Spigen cases.

did you try and use it with the glass screen? in the video he tried with the metal frame on, maybe it will fit with silicone only first then add the bumper?

I'm a fan of the Neo Hybrid; I wish they had a Slim Armor case, the one I had with my Nexus 5 was a great 'middle ground' between rigidity, solid feel, and not being too heavy or thick. I tried a TON of cases with my N5, from Spigen Neo Hybrid and Slim Armor to the bulkiest Seidio cases, and I ended up going with the Slim Armor when I wanted to get away from belt cases/clips/holsters and started putting it in my pocket.
The Rugged Armor case for the OP3 doesn't feel very rugged to me. Not to say it's bad quality or anything, but just not what I'd consider 'rugged'. I had more of a Slim Armor feel in mind when I bought it; I've been switching back and forth between the Neo Hybrid and Rugged Armor for a couple of weeks, probably end up sticking with the Neo Hybrid. Until I flip-flop and change cases again

I'd agree, The "Rugged" Armor isn't rugged at all, I've mocked it in several places around the internet. The Neo Hybrid is a much better case.

How about the ultra hybrid?

The Hybrid is probably the same level of protection as the Rugged Armor, just clear so you can still see the phone. The Neo Hybrid is def the best level of protection out of the three.

Did you find that it was worth the price?
