[Q] Thinnest Case?

Hi,
I am looking for a case that adds minimal bulk to the device. I would prefer something with a soft-touch finish, but not necessarily silicone.
So far, I have looked at the Seidio Surface, the SGP Ultra Silke, and the Rearth Ringke.
Does anyone know from experience which of these cases is thinnest?
Also, has anyone found other cases that will retain the slimness of the phone?
Thanks.

I dont know from experience but from reading these forums the incipio feather case maybe be the slimmest. Its hard case that snaps on but doesnt cover the top or bottom of the phone. I do got the Rearth Ringke which is awesome. The fit is great.

Thanks for the reply. Is the Rearth Ringke relatively slim as well?

Also interested in a slim case.

Its really not that bad. The fit is great and the texture it has is a nice touch. It has enough grip to keep it from slipping but slippery enough to keep lent and fingerprints off.

^That's good to know.
Does anyone else have any suggestions for slim cases?

you could get these if you would consider a skin http://www.adreama.com/products/mobile-phone-skins/samsung/nexus-s
they're pretty damn thin, give good grip, protects the outside of your phone from scratches, and you get two so you can pick which color you prefer

I wish case mate would make a barely there case. There seems to be a huge demand for it.

incipio case quite slim, soft, and sexy.. the only drawback is it's quite fragile. my friend bought it awhile ago, he had SOD (sleep of death) many times using netarchy kernel and he had to remove the case to remove the battery. after a few remove, the case start to get loose and finally the case gave up and broke..

This seems interesting. I have found several cases identical to this on eBay for as little as $3 (like this andthis).
The material seems different than other TPU cases, and is just what I am looking for. Anyone else have a case similar to this (TPU, but with matte-finish rubberized rear)?

that second one looks just like the black one that you get in the two pack I posted. I actually think that the black one looks really bad with a black phone, but that's just my opinion.

I have the incipio feather case (black) and love it. Soft touch, great grip, and best of all no fingerprints. Not a tacky rubberized feel that sticks to everything (lint, hair). There is a little space at the top and bottom that isn't covered (bottom for port access) but it looks great. very slim. I bought the standard black case that best but had available on launch day and the crappy rubbery screen protector. Couldn't stand either one and dug out my g1 sleeve cover.
Bought the incipio because I hate the slick back of the phone. Been using it ever since.
I would disagree that it is fragile. I take it off and put it back on at least once a week and haven't had any loosening or breakage (after several months of use). Thing is still rock solid and fits perfectly snug.
hopefully this is helpful.
edit: although it is very thin and adds very little bulk, it is noticeable. With the case on, my phone no longer fits in my g1 sleeve and this makes me kind-of a sad panda.

How is your overall experience with the two-pack case that you posted? Does it add too much bulk to the device, or attract dust/lint?

Thanks so much for the detailed review. I appreciate the input.
The Feather seems to be a promising alternative to the other cases, mainly because I love the soft touch finish.

I actually think that the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. i'm not worried that i'm going to snap it in half on accident and it's only the tiniest bit bulkier than it normally would be.
I seem to notice little hairs and stuff accumulating right where the case stops, but it's easy enough to either wipe them off without removing the case or to just pull the case off and clean around the edges. overall, I think it's a great case. I added some before and after pictures so you could see how little bulk there is.

I also have the Incipio Feather Case and agree with discussion above. Actually have 2 for 2 phones.
Black is matte finish. Teal is not, but its not a hard, shiny plastic feel. I really like it, questioned buying but so tired of black (their other colors are
very bright, way too much for a mother of 3).
I was looking for the thinnest case possible and feel this is it.
The top and bottom is open so won't protect there, but has the corners.
The thing I love the most is the grip, felt the phone was too slick and just
waiting to drop. This solved that. I do not feel it is fragile, don't take off
that much, but have no problems using fingernail. It is tight, but that is good.
Would highly recommend. And if shopping on Ebay, there are some for $20
shipped. It states Nexus S (not specific for 4g, even on the box when you
receive it), but if it is Incipio, not knock off, it works.

sgp case is very good

M8 Clear Cases to Showcase

Hey everyone, so I know there's a few thread about cases which I've read through. But what I'm looking for is any info on good quality clear cases.
The main factor I like is the appearance. It's just about time a company really put an effort into the looks as well as the performance of a current Gen smartphone.
So my question is what clear cases are out there that some of you possibly already have or have seen online? I've scoured amazon and other sites and found some good ones, but still haven't found the "one".
Currently I own the otterbox commuter (too big, covers whole phone), the supcase hybrid with clear back which is what I currently have on. And I placed an order yesterday for the exact prism case with the clear back. Though I now realize the prism and supcase are probably the same exact case....
My issue with the supcase hybrid clear back is the scratches that accumulate so easily on the back. Most of the cases out there are simply cheap. Some are very good for the money but I'm looking for long lasting durable quality.
I have an eye on the supcase unicorn beetle hybrid as well but my turn off is the back being frosted to the point that you can't see the detail or shine of the m8. At least that's what I've seen in pictures.
I'll use an all clear or some kind of hybrid bumper clear back case. I also saw the griffin reveal case, but I can't find any good pics. And from the description it looks like it's the same material as the supcase bumper hybrid. I was hoping the griffins clear back would be a solid hard scratch resistant material.
I've also seen the case mate barely there and some others. So if any of you have any other clear or partly clear cases please post some feedback on how you like them and pics would be great too!

Yes it is.
Just a word of caution with clear cases, they have a tendency to collect lint and crap which is easily noticeable. I had the cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case clear and ended up selling it to a buddy. The pocket lint and crap collects under it and bugged the crap out of me. I cancelled my clear UAG order and changed it to black in fear of the same problem.
Now this might not bother some, but bothered me enough to share.

I have the Spigen® [STRONG-FLEX] Capsule Clear Ultra Fit (TPU), it's pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...tiveASIN=B00IF5B218&linkCode=shr&tag=cshus-20
Makes me feel like I can toss my phone on the table or something and it will be OK. Doesn't seem to scratch or yellow. Makes handling the phone more fun since I don't have to be so delicate and it seems durable while showing off the nice aluminum case.

I also have this case. Some people have said the edges look yellow. Um no. If the lighting in the room has some yellow in it then it will look like that on the thick sides. This is a very nice case with covered buttons for volume and power. And exact cut outs for everything including back mic, flash and camera lenses. Vs flash and one of the camera lenses being one cut out for both.

I too have the case but pictures using flash don't look right. Almost like the case diffuses the flash light so it's not direct out as well at the object you are photographing. I also have a qi receiver under my case in order to have wireless charging so now I have a black tpu case coming today to hide the qi receiver.

I have this case as well. I like how the power and volume buttons are covered. I can see where some say the case looks yellow, but you really have to take a close look to even notice.
All in all I am happy with the case. My one complaint is a sharp line that extents all around the back of the phone. I think it would have been better to have made this smooth as it would be more comfortable in hand.

Dropped my phone on the bleachers at the game, found my volume up button dented in, non-functional.
Pried it out, unbent it a bit and got it back in, works.
Bummed the case let that happen though. And agree about the sharp edge.

Unfortunately, my clear spigen case has a slight yellowing to it. This was present in purchase, so beware. Otherwise, it is a very good protector that allows the m8's looks to shine.

What are your favorite cases for the Galaxy S6?

Now that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is out and about, we're interested in learning what cases you're after (or currently using) to protect it from damage. It doesn't matter what style — flip cover, full body film, hybrid case or skin case — we want to know your favorites. Following this thread will be our "Best cases for the Galaxy S6 Edge" article that will encompass what our community has deemed worthy above the rest, so share your opinions because they matter!

Pelican Protector Case
I have the Pelican protector case specifically made for the S6 edge. While both the Pelican S6 and S6 edge cases fit my phone, the S6 case covered part of the edge notifications. The Pelican case is solid and lightweight, and most importantly, after a couple drops, my phone remains intact.

Does it reduce the mobile signal?

I like the Spigen Rugged Armor the most. Thin and has a nice feel in hand.

Spigen neo hybrid is great! I had the official samsung clear case which was nice but offered very little protection! The neo hybrid is great looking (some people may find it even adds to how the phone looks) Cut outs are done to perfection. Buttons work flawlessly despite being covered. It fits snug and feels solid as well! I honestly NEVER leave a case on . Anytime i buy a new phone i always buy a case and within a week i take it off because i just don't like the feel, the look , the bulk etc This is the first case i have ever bought that iam happy to leave on

im using this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-S6-E...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ede69779b
and its really really good. i have dropped its 3 times, and nothing happend. really good product by spigen.

Obliq Slim Meta Case
I am currently using the obliq slim meta case. Its relatively inexpensive $15 on amazon and it arrived in less than 4 days (im located in southern california; LA to be specific).
Its not so much for protection against drops but I love it because it protects that AWFUL camera hump and the lip on the front edge protects the screen if i were to place it face down.
super stylish as well. I cant post a link to it because i am a new member but its easy to find on amazon

Ringke SLIM case is simply beauty. No more worried on fingerprint.

Spigen Neo Hybrid for me too. I really like it. Feels great. Tight fit. Raised just enough to set the phone down either way and not scratch the screen or camera. Looks great.

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.

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

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.

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

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?

Ringke Air or Fusion for S7 Edge?

Hi Guys,
Looking on the pictures I couldn't see clearly the differences between those two cases.
anyone tried them both and can comment on what is the better option?
I couldn't find any review for the Air model
thanks!

I prefer the Ringke [Slim] Ultra-Thin Cover.

The Fusion is made of harder rubber & is thicker and heavier than the Air. The Fusion's corners are more reinforced, offering better drop protection.
The Air is made of softer rubber which has somewhat of a "sticky" grip, whereas the Fusion is more smooth.

Thanks all,
so now what you'd suggested..air/slim/fusion? thanks!

i had the fusion on my s6e. air on an iphone 6s.
i ordered the air for my s7e. both are nice, but the air is thinner, grips better (without getting pocket lint stuck to it) and isn't as susceptible to scratches on the back. But yes, as the other guy stated, it doesn't protect from drops as well as the fusion. The only drops my phone sees are 2-3" drops onto a table

I can't say anything about the other two but rocking my Fusion since start. Only thing I don't like about it, doesn't taper at the back so found this one from eBay — be receiving it this week.

Have the Fusion on my S7E for a week or more now, and love it. I think it's a great compromise between not adding bulk to the phone while providing good protection and grip that allows confident one-handed use. It looks great on the phone too, shows it off. My wife (aka: Mrs. Picky) really likes it as well. Recommended. I haven't tried the Air, but my advice is if it's slimmer/smaller then you're probably sacrificing protection too much w/the Air.

It's not rubber(I haven't seen cases use this in a while because it stretches out over time). The case is made from a TPU which is more resistant to oil, stretching etc.. I have the fusion now which is a hybrid case (TPU bumper, polycarbonate back), and my Fusion air is enroute (should be here sometime this week). I will let you know how it turns out since the regular Fusion isn't ideal for dropping the phone.

Returning my ringke air. Loose fit on the s7 edge.

Yea, one is harder TPU & the Air is softer TPU. Too soft.
