Looking for a very slimline case

Currently, I have a Body Glove on my Inc, and I'm really looking to find a more slim fit case. Mainly I need something that will protect the camera, but keep the slimness of the phone there.
I was thinking of the Incipio Feather, or the Case Mate Barely There...but I can't find any reviews on them.
Thanks guys

I have the Incipio Feather and let me tell you it is definitely the slimmest I've ever seen. It gives VERY little protection except for maybe preventing the back and two sides from scratches. You absolutely cannot lay the phone face down since it doesn't extend up past the glass. I actually bought one just to make a car mount with it. I glued a Garmin windshield mount onto to back of it and it works really really well for this, since the phone can be inserted / removed from the Feather quite easily, yet it is secure. When I get into the car I just snap it in and go!
If it's minimal you want go for the Feather. I currently use the Seidio Innocase II Surface when I'm outside the car, and the quality / protection is great while still being not bulky. I've tried about 5 or 6 and settled on the Innocase.
Cheers

+1 for the Seidio Innocase II. I've had mine for about a week now and I really like it. It's only 1.1 mm thick. Might be just what you're looking for.

Hmm, I had Seidio for my Storm, but that was a few years ago. The case ended up breaking on me. It was the Innocase 360. How is the build quality of the Innocase 2?

I have the Innocase II and it scratched up the border of my phone. Pretty dumb case, if you ask me.

Seidio HTC Droid Incredible ADR6300 Innocase II Surface...has been an awesome case for me as well...good luck

I'm using the Innocase II also. It's been a great case so far. Not perfect, but it's slim and seems to protect my phone pretty well. I'd love an Otterbox that was this thin somehow.

my speck case from verizon came in, slim and protects the camera, and is raised about .1 mm so you can lay the screen down..no bulk.

Wow...I never knew those existed!

I have the Case-Mate "Barely There" case and I love it. I spent like 2 months being indecisive because I wanted something that wouldn't make my phone bulky while still providing protection without shattering like some thin cases (I've dropped it 2 or three times now and its protected my phone every time). I also wanted a decent amount of grip on the case but not to the point where it grabs the inside of my pocket like some gel cases. It also sits almost perfectly flush with the camera lens in the back, providing some protection from the glass being the first thing to hit a surface every time you put the phone down.
The Incipio Feather case looks almost identical to the barely there case but people seem less confident in it's ability to actually protect the phone if it is dropped..
I've also heard a lot of people complain about the Innocase's scratching their phone, which seems counter productive...
Just my two cents considering you seem to want the same features I wanted in a case.

I use the Innocase, and I dropped my phone on the street, and it landed on the very corner of the phone. Figured it was a goner but it actually did a great job. Love the thin case.

Wow! Case-Mate looks amazing!! I might buy it

I've got the Seidio Active and i love it. Dropped the phone tons and not a scratch. Protects the camera lens well too.

Big +1 for the Innocase Surface. Very solid, great soft touch exterior and nice padding inside. Not the absolute thinnest but adds very little bulk and has a very low profile bezel around the screen, unlike some cases which make it hard to hit buttons near the edge of the screen.
I previously had the Rocketfish case that Best Buy pushes on everyone. Got it thrown in for free with the phone after bullying the rep into throwing in some freebies. Glad I didn't pay for it! The soft touch coating started to peel off after about ten days, one edge kept coming open and when I did drop the phone just once, the case completely popped off. Complete $hit if you ask me.

Been in the feather about a month now. Several drops, although nothing too extreme, and so far so good. Love the barely there feel!

I was lucky enough to get a seidio case for 10 bucks and out of 5 cases its the best one yet

Innocase is def awesome. I love it.

Just got mine in the mail. I will upload pics as soon as I get my new battery door in the mail (tomorrow?)

Innocase surface here too....I agree it is the best combination of low profile/good protection I have seen. It doesn't interfere with wiping near the screen edge at all, but keeps the screen from touching a surface if u lay it down face down. Kinda feels like the actual incredible to the touch as well. I did a ton of research and am very happy. Thanks to everyone in this forum - ur input was super helpful in researching a case.

[Q] Incipio Feather Light Case?

Does anybody have this? It looks really sharp (and I'm about to order one) but the only thing holding me back is the top/bottom. It looks like it doesn't cover it properly. Whenever I've dropped a phone and got some scuffs, it's always the top and bottom that take the brunt of it.
If you have this case, could you post some pics? Or provide some insight to the protection? Here is a link to it on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-MT-143-Feather-Motorola-Bionic/dp/B005DQF7TU

i had this case for a few weeks now. i'm pretty happy with it. phone sits nice and snug inside the case with a nice feel to the material and barely adds any dimensions it.
the front extends a bit past the edge of the phone so that its raised off your glass if put face down. the top and bottom is exposed but if it falls on any flat surface the edges of the case sticks out far enough that it'll hit the case first and not the phone itself. not sure if the case will pop out on a fall and don't intend to find out, but it fits snug enough that sometimes it takes the back battery door off when i remove the case. screen protector that comes with the case is complete junk.

Thanks for the link, just checked it out. I'm still torn. I absolutely LOVE the look and sleekness of it, but I know as soon as I buy it I'll drop my phone and scuff the top. This would anger me
I dropped my x2 three days after purchase and scuffed it all up right at the top. I haven't let this Bionic be naked once - it was covered before I left the store.
It's a damn shame too - because this phone is sexy naked.

I have the Incipio Feather and didn't like how the phone was exposed on the bottom either. I also didn't like the feel of the phone at the bottom with the case on.
I bought a couple Cruzer Lite cases instead and really like them. Check Amazon.

I bought the incipio feather a few weeks ago and its by far the best case out there if you like to keep the curve of the phone and you dont want to add an siginificant bulk

Which Cruzer Lite cases did you get?

I for one, love the Feather case...but alas, I contacted Incipio and they have no plans to make one for the extended battery. Does anyone know of a case that is similar to the feather, but fits the extended battery?

I'm not a big big fan of cases. I had a Droid 1 with the Body Glove that gave really good protection but it made it really bulky and hard to get in and out of pockets. When I upgraded to the Droid X, I just got the full body invisiShield, which worked great but did not protect against drops and dents
The Bionic with the plastic full cover backing, I didn't think a full body invisiShield would have been the right choice to go (actually my friend has it and he has huge peeling problems). When I shopping amazon, I came across this TPU case, and for $9, it was worth a shot... It seriously was the best buy I could've ever made. When its on your phone, it is solid. It doesn't feel flexible and I haven't dropped my Bionic, yet. The backing is a nice matte black -- it has a very natural feel (like you don't have a case). It does add SLIGHT girth/weight, but its not at all cumbersome. The Bionic fits real snug and it lips around the edges in the front (you can set it down face down and the screen doesn't touch the table -- this is a huge convenience, one example would having your phone drop flat on the front side, given that there aren't any rocks or pointed objects (but if you dropped it even w/o the case, well same story...).
The best part, it fits in the Cardock PERFECTLY. Downside, it does not fit on the desk dock... but when I'm at home or at my desk... I rock my Bionic naked... and the case is flexible, so its easy to take off/on.

Thanks for the post - good read.
I researched the case you spoke of and it's very similar to the Verizon gel case I currently have. It definitely provides the right amount of protection, but I'm looking to get that "sexy naked feel" the unprotected Bionic provides.
Here is what I'm thinking. I'm going to order the matte black phantomskinz skin. Cover the top and bottom (the only parts exposed from the incipio feather case) and then rock the incipio. Might be slightly ghetto, but I'm sure I can get it looking good. That will give me the lightweight feel of the incipio case with some protection from nicks and scratches on the top and bottom.
I'll post pics when I make it happen.

I would definitely invest a little more for the balance of sexy and protection, this was just the quick fix for now but its turning into a permanence since it really tops the silicon gels.. pictures just don't do it justice.

I've just become a huge fan of TPU after picking this up. I'm not a big fan of high gloss or clear/patterned designs, the matte black is definitely a sexy finish.

You sure love your TPU. Lol. Few questions:
Have you seen the Verizon gel case that speak of?
How similar/different is it? Size wise? Obviously one is matte and one is glossy.
Just curious, cause that's what I rock, and from pics it seems the matte vs. glossy is the only real noticeable difference.

Yeah, when the Droid X came out, another friend of mine got the Verizon case at the store. The ones we are talking about are the silicone gel cases that are really flexible and rubbery. I would almost describe it as sticky as over time it gets softer and attracts more lint. These slip off the phone easily sometimes. The width that it adds is pretty minimal since it is a floppy material, and a hard shell case is just the opposite in that respect. The hard shell cases in my experience fit the phone real nice, and are not floppy at all, and add minimal width. When you drop a hard shell though, the hardshell cracks over time and it doesnt really distribute the shock. But its to your preference and likelihood of dropping your phone I guess. I'm just really backing how cheap the TPU cases are and how reliable the material is. It seriously is something you have to see to beleive. Let me know how the incipio is!

Update..
I just noticed my desk dock had a "padding"... it totally fits with this case on!

Got this case today.
Initial impressions:
*Absolutely love the thinness of it. It feels like I don't have a case on. Looks sharp.
CONS:
*No top and bottom protection (I knew this before purchase)
*Back gets smudgey

You know what I just realized? When I wrote this post, my phone was in a TPU case. Lol.
I got the smoky argyle one, and definitely loved the appearance and lightweight feel of it. I thought it felt a little janky by the power button (was pretty loose) and there were some leftover nubs from where it was cut - clearly visible against the black background of the screen.
I got some black sandpaper and sanded it down, but it left the case looking like garbage. I got it for $2.95 + $2.95 shipping, so I'm not complaining. I might end up ordering another.

I just got this case, iridescent red one, I agree the top and bottom is exposed but the look and feel of it is very nice. It is very sexy looking as well, doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered like holes etc.
The main reason I got this one was that someone said it would fit in the Moto car dock, and it does. However, if I hit a bump some times it pops up justttttt enough to stop charging. Pop it back down and it stays for a while again.
Funny no one else ever mentions this but I live in Florida, and every single black droid I have owned (1, 2, 2global, and now bionic) overheats when going on long trips and using Nav. Can't charge it when it overheats. I wanted to go with Iridescent Red to maybe reflect some of that heat...hope it works.
Also, red and black just go together....

Case Suggestions

Just got my phone back from getting the screen replaced and need to find something to put it in to keep it safe! Any Suggestions?

Hi there,
when I got my NS i went to the nearby Electronics Shop and tried the cases they had. The Original HTC Desire HD leather Case fits very well...

do you have the i9020 or i9023? Any type of case you have in mind?

The Incipio Feather Case is nice. It doesnt add much bulk, but still protects well.

Why not get a good screen protector and then run without a case. When the battery door gets to the point that its no longer attractive or you want to sell the phone buy a new battery door cover. A new battery door will cost you $7-$12 on eBay.

My Nexus has survived wars and it still looks good w/o a case. Like ^ this guy said, screen protector would suffice. I hate that extra bulk in my pocket.

I've got the trident aegis black-on-black for my NS4G (which I've had since last august) and think it's great. I had never been a "case" guy, and always kept my phones bare, but this phone was just waaaaaay too slippery. The smooth plastic back is one of the worst features of this phone and makes it really hard to hold on to if you're constantly juggling stuff in your hands and on the move. I dropped it a bunch of times in the first few days I had it before I just caved and ordered this case.
It's a two-piece case with a silicone full body case that covers the whole phone, and then a hard plastic outer shell that kind of clamps around the silicone.
The silicone part is supposed to absorb shock when you drop it, I guess. It has tabs that cover the headphone and usb ports, cutouts that are perfect for the camera and speaker, and mic, and is a bit thicker on the corners, which gives me some confidence and makes me think that they thought the design through well. I've dropped it a bunch, and watched my 1.5yr old son throw it to the ground, and no probs.
The plastic part wraps around that and is supposed to be good at reducing risk of damage during "crushing" impact. All I can say is that I actually shut my car's trunk on this phone accidentally and it was absolutely fine. It gives it gives it a sleeker feel and minimizes the "ruberry-ness", too.
It also comes with a clear screen protector that is fine, and I don't even notice. Since the screen is curved most people complain about the fact that screen protectors don't stick well on the edges, which is true, but the lip of the silicone case on the front covers this area, so you don't even notice it. I also don't notice a difference when using the touchscreen.
The silicone part does collect lint, so if you're OCD about that, it'll be annoying, but the protection makes it totally worth it for me. I'll gladly pay $30 for a rock solid case that collects a little lint rather than get insurance at $7.99 x 24 months = $192 over the contract. The one thing that's important to know if you use multiple batteries like I do, is that you have to put the silicon section into the hard plastic section first, pop all the buttons out of their holes on the hard plastic case, and then push the phone into the case. If you try to put the rubber part on the phone first, and then put the hard plastic on, the fit is so tight, it's tough to get the buttons to pop out. It was pretty frustrating before I figured this out, but now it only takes me a few seconds to do a battery swap. Finally, the case does add some bulk to the phone, but I personally don't think it's all that bad. The phone feels more solid in my hand and is much less slippery.
I've been meaning to write a review for this phone in the proper thread, but I don't like to review stuff unless I've really used it. So I pretty much forgot till I saw this post. Maybe I'll go link to this post in that thread too, but if you want pics, I remember seeing them in that thread, and in threads over on androidcentral or androidforums or something. Good luck with the case search.

I grabbed the Ballistic case for my Nexus. It's pretty rugged, stays on very well, and comes off easily when you want it too. Feels very solid in your hands.

Samsung Clear Case, anyone tried?

Hi,
has anyone tried the Samsung Clear case for the Edge? It's the bumper case style case from Samsung. Not the clear view.
http://www.samsung.com/global/galax...es/accessories_galaxy-s6-edge_clear-cover.jpg
I really like the design but i am wondering how much it protects the phone? Is it good enough? Will your phone be safe if you drop it?

I tried, I don't advice to get one because of its price and it doesn't protect nothing if the phone falls only if hit the corners other then that the phone is naked. It's only good to protect the camera if you put on top of the table, and the other thing is because our phone is glass when you put this case you will have bubbles beneath, between the back of the phone and the case. Not well made this. It's beautiful other then that isn't good.

Have it, love it, never drop tested it.
But I have bumped it a few times on the corners (and back) and no scratch or damage at all.
Unlike the guy above that doesn't use it, mine does not have bubbles between the back glass and the case.

You cant actually say that case is protective because its not, let me show you mine so everybody can see that im not lying.
and you can see the difference from another one i have Ringke Slim that has no bubbles.
Its not my first phone or my first case you know

I Don´t Recomend It
I have it, looks awesome, and I never had the feeling of normal cases where I want to take them off all the time, but I dropped it from 30cm and the thing looks awful and has like a kind of crack on the corner, so if I get to drop it at normal height (around 1m) I´m not sure if it will protect anything.
I recomend the spigen Neo Hybrid it's the best match for the s6 edge but here in Mexico they only sell the clear case.

I have one & have been using it ever since I've had my S6E since launch day. I love it b/c it allows me to place the phone on its front or back without touching the phone on the surface, it's very light, shows off the looks of the phone, and makes the phone look cool. I had 2 aluminum bumper cases & one hard clear TPU case but I sold them b/c I like the Samsung clear view case much better.
I'm planning to purchase a Ringke Fusion smoke clear TPU case, however. Not as a replacement but as an addition.

Blame it on user (marco) error. Mine has zero bubbles. Perfect and easy.

I think i might get one. So far its the only one i saw that doesnt make the phone look ugly.

Don't. It scratches so easily when I was not even using it.
Here is the story: Got it free when I bought the edge on launch date. Used it a bit but I'm one of those guys who likes the phone naked. Kept it on a place where it won't get moved or touched. Some days I carry it around without the phone just in case. After a few weeks and I try to put it back on, so many scratches that it's so dirty looking. I didn't even freaking use it. >.>

im strugling to find a good case that protects well enough but doesnt look like crap.

I don't like it

I got this case for free with the pre-order for my phone.
Having used it as well as a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case and a UAG case, the bottom line is that it provides the least protection, but shows off the look of the phone the best. It is absolutely useless if you are the type to drop your phone often, or like to throw it around. I would very much recommend the UAG case for that. However, it excels at preserving the look of the phone, and is, in my opinion, the best case for the phone if you just want something to cover the rear and prevent scratches when placing it on a surface, and preventing scratches from minor bumps to the corners of the phone.
It should be noted that being a first party product, it is quite expensive. Overall, I would give it 10/10 for looks, 2/10 for protection, and 6/10 for value (I would give it a lower score for value since it offers so little protection or features, but so far its the only case I found which actually manages to keep the phone looking as good as it does naked).

I'm using one, got it free with a wireless charger. Loving it, feels invisible and removes that slippery feeling the back of the phone has.

How can I be blame? I'm simply giving my opinion and a lot of users agree that's is to expensive for the quality, I use a ton of cases and never got any problems with them, other then bubbles this one gets dirty and fingerprints all over in a few hours. But maybe it's only mine that's a fingerprint magnet [emoji4] [emoji6]

So what is the purpose of this case? Everyone seems to say it wont protect your phone from a fall but i thought that was the whole purpose. From what i see in the images, the case raises above the phone's level so the case should hit the ground before the phone for every side unless the ground is very uneven. Just like the first bumper case for the Iphone, it seemed to only protect the sides but the fact that it added a couple of mm between the phone and the ground really made it work. I dropped my iphone a bunch of times and it never actually touched the screen or back.
Can anyone confirmmy theory or did Samsung just fail with this case?
My gf wanted the Kate Spade case for her S6 Edge. While it does look like very good protection, the fact that the buttons become difficult to press seems like a deal breaker

I have it and I did not use for even a single day. Because its very slippery in the hand and does not protect the sides of the phone. But I agree that it looks beautiful but would definitely not recommend it at all.

I've had it for a month until I got my hands on incipio. This case is much better. With the clear case it scratches very easily.

Caseless

Hey guys! I've been using my Galaxy s7 edge in a case ever since I got it, but one time I took it off the case and I liked the feeling of it. Is anyone else using the phone caseless and can you tell me how that experience is? I took a day to use it caseless but it was a little uncomfortable in my hand especially when I'm on my bed. Thanks! Also thinking of getting dbrand skin

Before otterbox came out with a case I wanted, I rocked my first edge caseless. I would sit down on my front concrete steps and the phone would slip out of my pocket every time. Had a couple of scrapes. Got abother edge and have thrown a xtreme guard skin on the back for less slippage but decided not to ruin the phone so I got a glass protector and commuter case. I honestly wish someone would come out with a spring clip holster for the edge so I can stop hiding the phone.

Hey guys! I've been using my Galaxy s7 edge in a case ever since I got it, but one time I took it off the case and I liked the feeling of it.

Get either a dbrand or tpu front and back protectors. I have the clear front and back protectors and they are great the phone sticks to my hand i have used the phone caseless since the release of the s7 edge and have not dropped it or even had the thought to my self of needing a case for it.
Here's a link to the one I got, UK link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01CH5RJT0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_udp_apa_8e3IxbA2KK8HP
I couldn't find it on the US amazon website so if you are not in the UK you could try to find it on eBay or just purchase something similar.

When im home i always take off my case. I really feel the premiumness of the glass and metal build of the s7. Its what we pay for, premium build and the thickness is ideal. The only thing i hate about is when im on the bed using the phone it continues to slip from the hand and i accidentally touch the curve edges. I bought a super thin gel case for when i go out. And ordered a skin from slickwrap.

I use it without a case occasionally but it is kind of slippery. I bought a naked skin slickwrap since I was mostly worried about scratches that also added a little more grip

i used the phone with a case for 2 months, now i'm using a dbrand leather skin and a spigen screen protector without a case. waiting for a decent glass screen protector... same issue in bed, feels a little bit uncomfortable.

I quit putting my phones in a case since my Note 3. Right now I have Zagg HD Dry on the front and back (btw this is the most dissatisfied I've ever been with Zagg). My house is almost entirely travertine tile and I have dropped my phone once; it landed right down on the screen with not a crack on it at all (some what of a testament to Zagg I presume). I dislike the feel of the Zagg but it does its job but I really dislike the bulkiness of cases.

At home, case less (only front and back protectors). Outside, cased.

I'm not so bold to go caseless. I really don't have confidence in the illusion of "Gorilla Glass" where you can watch videos on youtube of people dropping mallets and run the s7 with a car all day, but in the real word a 2ft drop could ruin it's pristine look.
While I like the feel of just the phone in my hand, I don't like it's magnetism for dust, prints, and oil smudges. I can't defend the aesthetic choice of making a phone ridiculously shiny and smooth, making it look gorgeous when it's clean, and then look like garbage 5 minutes later after handling it.
But I didn't buy the phone for it's look. I bought it for its processor, particularly gaming-related reasons, in which a case really helps for grip and avoiding those abhorrent navigation buttons. Phone be like "I know you're in an application with immersion mode and you're holding the phone landscape, but your palm lightly brushed against the recent button, so I'm going to go ahead and eject you from your game you're playing. What's that? You were playing a multiplayer match online and this slight inconvenience disqualified you from your match? Sorry bout that, but **** you anyway." It happens alot. When you're gaming in landscape, thats where your thumb and palm rest... on the top and bottom bezels. So you gotta uncomfortably ark your thumb to avoid touching the button, but a case you can play in landscape much more comfortably.

Since i take care of it, i don't use a case, just a full body skin protector.

Installation is a pain in the ass but i won't be worried about scratches anymore now and i love the look of it without a case.

If you got it insured, fair play but at over £250 for a new screen ...
... one slip ...

my insurance covers till 1000 euros so im good (paying 3 euros a month)

Currently.. yes.. caseless.
My old S3 was caseless most of its life (with one of those screen protector packages that covered both sides.) Eventually the back one was taken off to make it look less grimey. S5 was also caseless except when I'd go backpacking or off road, in which case I'd slip it into an Incipio Dual Pro. (Glass screen protector was on it too.)
I've tried a few combinations on the S7E but since none of the glass options seem to be any good still, and every film based screen cover i've tried peels once I put it in a case, i've just been running with a Zagg HD screen protector and nothing else.
I love the feel of the phone, and reduced bulk, but I definitely have activities where I'd like to have SOME kinda protection on the phone. (Lack of such is how I managed to get some pretty gnarly scratches on the screen very early on.) Suffice it to say that I stopped caring about small scratches on the back a long time ago.
