Looking for a reasonably priced thin case.
Rearth Rinke Slim - Don't make one for AT&T yet
Incipio Feather - Don't want to pay $25!
Any others you recommend similar to those two? Not really looking for great protection. Just something to cover it a little. Would like it not to contact the glass when face down.
Thanks!
I have the diztronic tpu case and liked it. I bought the slim armor case as well because I wanted a bit more protection, but the diztronic worked fine to keep the screen off the surface of my desk and the same with the camera lens. It didn't add much bulk at all either. It can be found on amazon. Diztronic was about $8 and the slim armor case is $20.

Just ordered the Feather, really the only thin option for the Verizon G2
Which case is better?
Looking for the better front face protection, and more grip on the back.
Bump?
Really trying to decide.
I can't speak for the Commuter for the G2, but I've handled the DualPro and the Commuter for the Galaxy Nexus, which seems similar in design to the G2 version.
The DualPro doesn't have the plastic outer shell going up to the too and bottom edges, and the silicone seems thinner than that used by the Commuter. It's also thinner in the back area, so means the whole case is smaller than the Commuter appears to be. What I don't like is that there's very little front protection, due to an extremely thin rim and having a low lip over the front.
The Commuter appears more protective due to having more silicone on all sides of the case, plus the thicker plastic that almost reaches the rim on all four edges. But it's definitely not a slender case. It also covers all the buttons, which is good for protection but also hides the power button LED. It also has flaps for the USB and headphone poets, which the DualPro does not. It is also less matte than the DualPro, which means the plastic is slippery, more so than the soft-touch type plastic on the DualPro. It also has a taller rim, when I look at it in-box, which is also thicker than the DualPro's.
It's really up to you to decide if more silicone with a slightly more slippery back is better than less face protection but a better grip (due to matte plastic plus a thinner overall case).
I have the dualpro for the G2 and the commuter for the note 2. The dualpro is thin but I feel would survive a light drop. The commuter would probably survive a toss or throw.
However, I like to maintain some of the original slim feel to my phone. The commuter negates that, the dualpro is perfect for that.

Just compared the DualPro to the Spigen Slim Armor.
The DualPro has a VERY thin lip, but it's taller (by 1mm) than the Spigen, which has a lip about 3/4 as thick as the Commuter. The DualPro also has a thinner back than either the Commuter for the G2 I played with in store or the Spigen. The silicone is thinner on all sides, and is a softer, stickier rubber than either of the other two. But the plastic on the Commuter and the Spigen is not the soft-touch, rubber-coated type of the DualPro. That is a thin, but grippy case. It's also shorter than either the Commuter or Spigen.
But it's still bulkier than the QuickWindow case, and feels about as protective - which means it wouldn't be good for more than 20-30cm falls. The Commuter is the thickest and widest of the three, but has the most protection with its firm, thick silicone and port covers, plus a sturdy plastic shell and tall lip. The Spigen is shorter, thinner, but has little face protection due to its short lip. But the very firm TPU feels like it can handle a few bumps, as did similar TPU cases for my iPod Touch. Plus it has an okay grip, if not as good as the Incipio Dualpro. The DualPro is the thinnest two-part silicone case with a plastic frame I know of. It covers the corners and sides better than the official QuickWindow case, while being almost the same size. That is, IMO, also its weakness. It doesn't seem much better then the Feather, which has a thicker plastic shell that's the same width as the soft silicone here, and which also covers part of the top and bottom.
Still, nothing beats trying the cases yourself and seeing if one suits you better than the others.
I only have experience with the DualPro, and I love it. That said, I have been pretty lucky in caring for this phone. I did drop it once in a parking lot, luckily, it landed on one of the corners. That corner of the case is now slightly scuffed, but the phone was fine. I don't remember if it landed face down or not. I do worry about bigger drops, but I also don't want the phone to be too unwieldy. I'm happy with the DualPro.
I have the black Dual Pro and have been very happy with the case. I definitely like that it does not add much bulk. Also that the camera lens no is recessed. With knock-knock the phone is usually facing up. As mentioned in another post the matte finish gives the case a better grip.
I have 3 kids, 2.5, 5 and 9 years old so I need to protect the phone. I let them all use the phone for games, camera or internet. So far its been dropped a few time in the house on tile, carpet and hardwood floors with no damage to phone or case.
Overall I give the case a 4 out of 5 stars. Maybe 5 stars if the headphone jack and USB port had covers.
I might have gotten the commuter case but Otterbox didn't have a version for Verizon's G2
I had an Otterbox Commuter for my Galaxy SIII and I have an Incipio DualPro for my LG G2. The Incipio case feels better and in the conditions I use my phone there would be a negligible difference in protection.
I like the Incipio better.

Now that I have a black Incipio DualPro case on my LG G2, I think it's just about the perfect case for this phone. It strikes a perfect balance between low profile and protection. Its low-key good looks make it a great all-around case. I may never use my matte black Diztronic case again.

Funny, I went from DualPro t0 the Diztronic, and have stayed on the Diz a bit longer (plus I got if for under $9). Love them both, the DualPro does seem to add a bit more protection, thought. Definitely cannot go wrong with it.
Yeah

I agree
I currently have a body glove case and a screen protector. I'm wanting a case with the protection of the otter box defender but with a similar feel to what i have now as it's not very bulky at all. I have a at&t phone. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA08919W5928&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-_-pla-_-All+Cases+%26+Covers-_-9SIA08919W5928&ef_id=UyJb4wAABDAM6nfE:20140320220013:s oh yeah, the screen protectors i have aren't wide enough for the screen, they miss just a little bit of it on one side.
I know you like more protection for your phone but I've been super happy with a poetic slim case with no screen protector. There is a slight barely noticeable edge around the front so no problem laying case face-down on tables.
Poetic-Palette-Case-Black-Only (search amazon)
For a more protective case:
SPIGEN-Protective-Sprint-T-Mobile-International (search amazon)
About screen protectors: I used to use them on every phone but these days the glass material used is very hard to scratch and I think the protectors are redundant. But my phone is in my pocket mostly and I have only dropped a phone rarely. YMMV.
I have a commuter. Pretty awesome protection while not adding too much bulk.

Are you kidding??? This is the uggliest case ever made for the G2 IMO.
If you want the protection of the otterBox without the bulk just go with the COMMUTER case by OTTERBOX
I just discovered "Nillkin Super Frosted", it's really good, excellent fit for D802 version. Really good one.

Use a TPU Silicon Case,i think this is the best for Every Phone.
Tudia-clear skin-Poetic
I was using the relatively slim Tudia case since the first day i got the G2. After a few months, even that case was too bulky for me. So I took the case off and tried IQ Shield's full body clear protective skin. It works great against scratches but I decided to go back to a case after i dropped it on some tiles and dented the plastic corner a bit. I will try the even slimmer Poetic now.
Just wondering about cases for my OP3. Not really fussed about protection, mainly want something that doesn't really add anything size or weight wise to the phone but stops it being so slippy.
I was initially looking at the official protective case in Karbon - does that add grip? Also was thinking about the sandstone one which I know will add grip but have read that it's quite a polarising texture and actually feels a bit too rough (like sandpaper).
Are there any thinner, grippier/better cases than the official ones?
Thanks in advance
I have a bulky tudia merge and this one:

Not really great protection (so it seems but never tried a real drop test lol), but it's very thin and feels grippy (rubberized) than op3 aluminium. Sort of ringke slim, if you know this case. Hope it helps
Oh, and it's perfectly compatible with orzly tgsp.
I have recently bought Carbon case. It definitely adds grip. It is covered with some kind of rubbery thing, so it feels nice in hand and is not slippery. It fits the phone very well and is thin. I can definitely recommend carbon case to you.
Diztronic should have A case out soon
I got carbon and sandstone, carbon feels better

This video of mine shows the fusion to be quite grippy!
I think i have paid under 20 dollars for 7 cases and 5 TGSPs. I have both found a sandstone and a clear Case and a full TGSP that are as Good/slim/protective as the 10dollar a piece some guys in here hav paid. I dont understand, Why pay so much Money?

I got the Carbon with my Soft Gold. It feels awesome in the hand. I'm not so sure about full protection, though.
Fist off i tried a Cruzerlite case and not only was it a slightly baggy fit there was no camera protection at all, a shame really as the Bugdroid cases they used to make were brilliant. As this was being returned the Spigen case became available and it is far superior.
The Spigen Rugged Armor is an excellent fit, it feels at one with the phone if that makes sense and all the cut-outs are perfect and the camera module sits around 1mm below the surface of the case to offer it some protection, overall an excellent case that i would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

Any options for a belt clip holster?
Also what are your thoughts on some of the other Spigen cases for this phone
Sorry i have only used this Spigen case in particular but i cant praise it enough really, the fit is exceptional. The UK price for it was £9.99 and it was worth every penny really.
I forgot a link to it in the first post.
https://www.spigen.com/collections/...7t-case-rugged-armor-1?variant=30366585094191
It's a decent case but do wish the back (bottom) was a bit thicker to provide a greater recess for the camera circle. At $11 on amazon it's a bit pricey, but spigen materials and fitment is top notch. 4/5 stars.
I have always been using Spigen case with my OP2 and OP5T. Their cases are perfect. This time I went with OtterBox clear case as I wanted to see the blue back. Perfect fit.
Anyone know if it is compatible with Original Oneplus 7T 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector?
Or any of the Spigen cases are?
