Since there is no barely there case can anyone tell me what is a good thin case?
Incipio Feather for the regular Nexus S is probably the closest thing to what you're looking for. It will fit the 4g, but the power button cutout is a little off center. Doesn't really bother me at all, though--I really like the case.
Off center is fine as long as it fits
No white? Blue it is
Thanks

I have a feather too. Great case, doesnt completely cover the top n bottom of the phone but it doesnt bother me.
I jus ordered a feather. Hopefully it will be here soon. Thinness I can find
Update. Feather came today. Looks very nice. Volume is off center and I had to ever-so-slightly trim it. Very nice. Thin, feels better in my hand. $16 on eBay for the black one.
a picture is like 1000 words ...
Taken w my wife's epic 4g. Hard to snap great pics and hold it lol. Very happy w the case after the slight trim where the volume is.
Still sexy thin?

Pretty nice .. Thank you for the pictures.
i bought a red feather case black was sold out at the time and thought red would be a nice change. Turns out i didn't like the red, i used RIT dye and dyed it black using a trick i remembered from my diamond years ago, came out very well. Got bored and started to use sandpaper to give it some texture, after about an hour i have a silver case with black Incipio engraving.. pretty nice. Finished off with smooth straight strokes with sandpaper. Ended up with a fairly good looking stainless steelish case.

I wrote a short review and posted it to my site (site has affiliate and non-affiliate link) along with 11 pictures. Here is a copy of the review.
Here is the case, the Incipio Feather Ultra Thin Case, I just purchased for my Nexus S 4G from Amazon. As you can see by the pictures, the case definitely lives up to its name, it is very thin and also very light. I’ve only owned it for an hour so I will not be able to report on its durability, nor will I drop my phone to test it.
The case is easy to put on and has a snug fit. The holes for the volume buttons, camera, flash and speaker line up perfectly. However, this case was designed for the Nexus S so the hole for the power button doesn’t match perfectly but doesn’t interfere with its operation. I’m able to wake and power the phone on/off easily. The case is open at the bottom and shouldn’t obstruct the use with the mini-usb and headphone jack with a dock.
It feels a little slick but not as slick as the back without a cover. I can’t feel a discernible difference in the weight and size of the phone with the case on. I can imagine this will prevent a lot of the small dings and scratches but wouldn’t offer much protection if you drop your phone. I usually buy cases for my phone but end up taking them off because of the added bulk. For me, this one is a keeper.

I think Ringke is the best case for 4g. Nice texture, good protection, looks good and fits phone perfectly. This case surpassed all my expectations.
Ever since I heard good news that Note II will get Complete Ultra cases (from DBA cases) I have been hoping there would be a pink-black or pink silver combination. Silvers would do good too. The pinks could be more like fuchsia. So @Scott, I hope you see this. Everyone, post your desired colors for the Ultra cases. Happy wishing!
Here are the color combinations for the S3: http://www.dbacases.com/ultra-combinations.aspx
Would be pretty cool if we could get as many for Note II, come on folks, sign this petition .

We've had a hot pink in the S3 and the iPhone 5 which is coming up.
For the Note II there will be a Hot Pink TPU.
For the PC part of course we have to have white, black, titanium, and perhaps the same blue slate as the S3 which has been the most popular color.
There will be 5 to 6 PC colors and 6-7 TPU colors.
The curveball is that instead of blue they made one black.
I need to find a combo that goes well with the titanium and the white. The titanium will be harder since it's metallic.
I think a Titanium PC with a Black TPU would look the best.

I actually think it looks quite cool. The only bit of my note II which is scratched is the rim and a bumper would protect that pretty well without having to cover the entire back of the phone, and look good at the same time.
Ads and thread hijacking aren't cool though :/
Edit: oh my goodness that's expensive. No way I'd ever pay that much. Gonna report this guy because every post he makes seems to be advertising his overpriced bumpers.

I just hate anything shiny on my phone. Especially the gold.
Since it's only a bumper and metal I don't see the point. It's going to be slippery.
I considered making bumpers when I started my company but the demand just wasn't there and the cost was too much. But mine would have been for grip.

Hmm. I guess if it was slippery, that'd be a deal breaker. Metal doesn't have to be slippery though. All depends on the finish.
And I agree that the shiny gold is bad, but there's an all black version that looks pretty cool. And an addition to protecting the sides from scratches (which I think it would do very well), I think it'd probably provide a decent amount of drop protection compared to having no case, at least reducing the chances of the screen shattering from the phone landing on a corner.
But like I said, it's way too expensive as it is. And I know there's cheap ones on eBay, but they're much uglier than this version.

Actually I think it wouldn't provide any drop protection. In fact it may make it worse. It's metal which makes the phone heavier. To have any drop protection you need a material that will flex on impact or cushion.
This does neither.
But everyone has different tastes. That's why there is such a great variety of cases.
If I had to have metal I'd want brushed titanium.

Maybe that's a valid point. However, bumpers do tend to have a little bit of cushioning on the inside.
What I was suggesting was that the impact would have further to travel before reaching the screen and so would dissipate slightly, especially as the bumper is much thicker than a regular case. Not all the energy would reach the phone's screen like it would if dropped naked.
Also, metals aren't as hard as you make out. Theyre malleable, not brittle like hard plastic. They have the ability to bend and dent, and surely if dropped they would do this, again lessening the impact on the phone? Maybe a soft TPU or silicone case of the same thickness would be better in terms of drop protection, but wouldn't that look ridiculous?

Im getting pictures of the first cases from the mold tonight.
They will also be tested by my people in China.
If they are done right the first time (never happens) then it could be just a week or two.
However this is a new factory for us and they have been very fast. The sooner the better.
So for the PC
Blue Slate
Titanium
White
Black
and I need one more - it should be a brighter color. What do you think of a green emerald color? Or Violet?
For the TPU
Hot Pink
White
Black
and three others. Maybe Royal Blue, Candy Red, Lime...
How about orange for a bright pc color.

Superb. I hope it will be so good and successful as the edition for Galaxy S III.
Is this possible to order or pre-order Complete Ultra case for Note II + Just Like Glass TM Screen Protector for Note II with combined international shipment (both in one package) and with today discount $6.49 (32 %) for Just Like Glass TM Screen Protector for Note II ? Could you estimate the price for Complete Ultra cases for Note II ?
Some peoples use Seidio Active holsters with third party cases (Otterbox Commuter or Balistic Shell Gel (SG). Could you estimate if Complete Ultra case for Note II could fit Seidio Active holster for Note II or do you plan to provide any own holster for this case ?
Did these DBA Ultra cases ever get released for the Note 2? Looked promising...

I don't know about using clear please let me know.
Scott, in general what makes these cases standout or better from any other dual layer (silicone inner shell, plastic outer shell - ebay or brand name) cases? Here is your chance to do a sales pitch or others to jump in with testimonials
I have been going a little case-crazy lately (addiction perhaps? lol!!!), went through a bunch of ebay cheapo stuff, now moved on to brand names. I see clearly you offer a very flexible selection of color choices/combos that's probably a big selling point of it, but anything else that makes it stand out in comparison to others before I consider adding it to my growing collection?
Thank you Scott for taking your time to walk us through the manufacturing process. I personally enjoyed this read very much!!!

No problem. As you can tell I'm a bit OCD about it :silly:
I try to learn everything I possibly can so the final product comes out the way I want. Even so it's a constant job dealing with so many manufacturers. You would think I could hand the S3 case to them and say "make a Note II just like this" since they are nearly identical phones (except for size).
Unfortunately that's not how it works...
Scott
Hey Scott,
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but I love the idea of the Thin Case Grips. Will that be an option for the Ultra cases? I hate it when a case feels real nice but it's so smooth with no grip that it's easy to just slip out of your hand
I'm not short on money right now so I can spend a lot, but I obviously don't want to if I don't have to. What's the best case for this phone for protection from falls?
I enjoy the outterbox commuter case, it's not overly bulky like the defender but still providers good protection from falls.

I prefer the spigen slim armor case, with the metal slate color. Looks really good and provides good protection as well. I recommend the metal slate color because it isn't glossy, so no fingerprints.

I have the LG G2 Dual Pro in white and grey and I love it. It provides plenty of protection but doesn't feel overly bulky and it has a nice lip on it to keep the screen off the table when I put it down. It has a soft rubbery feel to it so it doesn't feel slippery. 2 pieces one hard and one soft for shock absorption. I am very picky about my cases but this one is perfect and I have tried a few.
Hi,
Just ordered a Ringke LG G2 SLIM Case, looks good ....
I'm currently using the diztronic tpu matte case. Haven't dropped it yet but I had one on my previous galaxy nexus and it was great on it. Almost no bulk added. I've dropped it countless times and my phone was always good. It's also pretty cheap. Good luck!
Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk
Definitly get one. I once droped my while getting out of the car before i got my SPIGEN case. Thank god i only dent 2 corners without damaging phone or display.
G2 is definitly not very good phone for dropping. Before this i had HTC One x and i dropped it on monthly basis for year and half without any major visible damage. I dropped LG G2 once and i already have visible damage.
Now my SPIGEN case for g2 even covers those dents so i dont see it
Still that phone is sexy without the cover more. But believe my you will eventually drop it so its worht getting the case and using it constantly. So better get one.
I've got a otterbox computer. And I've had it fall twice in a span of 15 mins from a little over 4 ft on to a old brick pad and it was just fine. (I was trying to set it up to take a family picture and it fell off its perch...twice)

When I bought the Slim Armor, I also purchased the Space Crystal version of that case.. Really nice. I almost want to say the phone's design lends itself perhaps a little too much to having some kind of case. If it wasn't for that, I probably would have gone with the regular S6. I don't regret getting the Edge though.

How annoying is the back film? I've been debating the Spigen, but the horribly cut back film puts me off a lot. That being said, I'm waiting for the Verizon Galaxy S6 Edge Gold, which puts me in the unfortunate position of not being able to test anything out currently.

well, frankly, since I look at the front of the phone more than the back, and when the case is on, you don't see the back that clearly anyways. I't nice the film is there to protect the back from being scuffed by any case, but, I guess you would be fine if you didn't bother with it..

+1 for this case as well. I got the metal slate. It ended up being black rubber but still looks great. The rubber really helps with the grip and the clear back and slim profile really show off the sexiness of the phone.
Speaking of sharp sides, the Spigen Slim Armor has really sharp edges where the TPU meets the plastic. Was using the phone for a couple of hours, and the sides of the case and the cutouts for the ports were digging into and irritating my hands. While the overall form factor is nice (it doesn't thicken the phone too much), I'll be getting another case instead.
Did anyone else have this issue?
