Could we post some of the thinnest cases we've found? Like Rinke slim, etc..
I like the cases that are so thin with the tops and bottoms open, but they seem to be rare nowadays
Not sure if it's thin enough for you but I like the way this looks. I think the reason very think and open cases are so rare is that they barely offer any protection with large phones
This is crazy thin and with the price might as well order just for the hell of it...
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Case...Back-Case-For-Samsung-Galaxy/32398559531.html
The Ringke Slim is one of the tiniest cases around and it covers the top and bottom of the case with a good amount of protection. The Ulak clear slim case is also very thin and offers a shock proof protection with it's tpu sides and clear back.
I'm not looking for major drop protection. I like ultra thin cases to mainly protect the finish and camera lens when I lay my phone on random surfaces, as well as hiding some of the awful fingerprints and finger grease.
Thanks guys
The official Samsung case is by far the slimmest case. If you want to even call it a case,
I had one for my S6 Edge and its basically like nothing is on the phone and just protects the corners and back glass.
But its expensive

Does anyone know if the rubber-ish looking stuff on the top and bottom are grippy?
I like how the glass on the note5 is grippy to the hand, but slippery in the pocket/on cloth.
My worry is that the polycarbonate might be the opposite -- and always catch going into a tighter pocket.

I'm not sure about this specific case, but I know what you mean. The glass is grippy to my fingers but a polycarbonate incipio case I bought for it is very slick. I may have to return it.
I'm hoping that Orzly will make one. I have their frost thin case on my S6 and love it. Just enough to protect against scratches and thin enough to keep the "feel" .
So, I received 2 Rinke slim cases, clear and black. I have the Rinke Fusion as well.
Quick impressions.
Clear Rinke Fusion. It's ok, slightly bulky for me tho. Fits perfect, cutouts are where they should be. Case has an annoying piece of tape/plastic on the inside that was a PITA to remove. I'd say it's a 7/10.
Rinke Slim, Black. Perfect fit, hugs the contours of the phone perfectly. Cutouts are great, especially around the Spen. I feel like the fusion case made it slightly more difficult to remove the spen, the Slim doesnt.
Rinke Slim, clear. I really really wanna use this case, it's crystal clear and looks so good on the phone. Problem is, it doesn't fit perfectly like the black version. When you slightly squeeze the sides, you can feel the case move. Really lame.
I'm also using the Ringke SF Black Case and it's very thin based on my thinness standards. pics are below (i'm reposting pictures from my post at Android Central).

Hi there,
I have the Diztronic case and I'm very happy with the overall fit.
However, I'm searching for a case with better grip on the sides.
Any suggestions?
Thank you
Is it slippery on the sides or something? I cant imagine it being more slippery then when the phone is naked. Every time I handle my device I feel like its going to slip and fall as I dont have a case yet.

I don't find it slippery, it's the same hard rubber that Otterbox uses on the defender.

No, its flexible, and barely bigger than the phone itself, it's just not a gel type TPU case, its my first Diztronic so I can't speak to the others. It barely adds any size to the phone, and the case is flexible, but hard rubber.

I'm used to diztronic's gel-like tpu cases I guess, but as long as this case barely adds size I'm all in for the protection. I should be receiving mines tomorrow hopefully
What about mic holes, does the case have openings for mics?

Mine is from T-Mobile so there is no mic on the back. There is no hole for that. For my phone it has every cutout.

I'd like to add that it does not play well with my screen protector, it pushes up the bottom left corner of it a bit. I'm willing to deal with it because it really adds almost no size to the phone and I feel like its decent protection as well.

Update - got my Brig and i'm really liking it. The sides are a matte (as opposed to gloss), so it does feel a little more grippy than what I have seen from Diztronic in the past. Plus the checkerboard on the back gives it extra tactile grippiness as well. Very happy with my purchase so far.
Hey everyone,
At the moment I use a rubber TPU case (that looks ugly) and is somewhat bulku. My priority is getting the phone in least bulk and reasonable protection to go with it. Preferrably stylish.
Any suggestions?

That is I don't want heavy cases, I just need lightweight cases, as light as possible, with reasonable protection - sorry if I wasn't clear.

Is it lightweight? Because Otterbox is SERIOUSLY bulky, and I'm looking for LIGHTWEIGHT case - that is the main thing for me.
I mean "not as bulky as otterbox" still sounds bulky, doesn't it?
It is lightweight.
Look it up on google. There are plenty of pics on their site and there must be a review on xda too.

I have the official note 2 bumper case from Samsung. It's pretty lightweight, looks great, and offers good drop protection from most angles. There isn't enough of an overhang to really protect the screen if it fell flat, but otherwise a back/corner drop should be well covered.
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Protec...398878790&sr=8-2&keywords=note+II+bumper+case
The Diztronic TPU cases are also great, it doesn't look like a lot of protection, but I had one on my S3 and dropped it on tile, wood, gravel, and asphault without any major damage. They also feel and look great in hand. This probably is a bit better than the Samsung case on a face-flat drop since it's raised higher above the screen.

I agree with you, although the Seidio Surface is probably more suited to what the OP is looking for:
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSR3SS...&qid=1405331811&sr=1-2&keywords=seidio+note+2
I have dropped my phone several times, and I partially ran over it in the yard with my riding lawnmower last week and it has survived.
I have noticed a best option for the case aswell extra power supply
i am unable to post the link for outside ones as i am newbee. but go to alibabaDOTcom and search for powercase for n7100
It must be the best option for the phones which are hungry of battery
If you are ok with a flip cover (for screen protection), I have a Kalaideng (KLD) that is very stylish with a (fake) leather finish. Its light, but a bit bulky though.
Otterbox commuter case is the best.
Maybe not along ht elines of what the OP is after but since a lot of folks are brinigng up the Otterbox Commuter...
The RedPepper waterproos case for the Note 2 looks pretty good. Bit bulky, but fully weather sealed, as in submergable.
Readily available on ebay too for like $20.
Anyone interested in an otterbox defender case, like new. I basically put it on, did not like, & took off. I just can't bring myself to throw it away, $10, if interested pm me.

Anyone know a case that's little more than a thin plastic shell? Any TPU car would be too thick. I got a Quicksand case, but it's a mm thick (digital calipers read 1.06 mm). That's still too thick. Something less than 0.5 mm and hours up to the glad would be great.
I don't need any protection, I just hate the glossy plastic. I've got a Slickwrap, but it doesn't cover the edges and looks crappy. I would consider a skin or wrap that goes as far up the sides as the gray plastic line bisecting each edge.
I don't want to paint or sand down the plastic because I'm probably going to sell this phone if there's a Nexus phone this year.

I don't understand. Do you realize I'm looking for thin cases? Almost all TPU cases are going to be too thick because TPU would be too susceptible to tearing if molded so thin.
Now find me the TPU case that is susceptible to tearing due to thinness and I'll probably buy it. Like I said, protection means nothing. I just hate coming into contact with the glossy plastic.
Have this and love it. Barely adds anything to the phone.

So we just need one specific for the VZW version.
I have a similar material one for my moto x and it's the best lightest protection ever! Very light weight and protects against scratches and mild bumps.

For Verizon, just use the Incipio Feather case. That is what I have, looks just like all these posted, and is designed for the Verizon model specifically (you can even buy them in any Verizon store).
I've had my incipio feather case on since day 1. Still looks great. My phone has had a few nasty spills and never had any damage... even the case looks new. It has a soft "rubber" like coating on it, but the case itself it hard and snaps on. Never had a problem with it coming off (it is actually quite hard to come off. It also has a TINY TINY lip that when facedown, will keep the screen off the surface.

That's what I have, and it's slippery. It's nothing like the blue/green textured ones that we were discussing, which aren't (today) avail for the VZW version.
edit: will also add that the incipio has sharp edges at the corners. The other one is not sharp like the incipio.
Try Body Glove skin, not a case but textured, comes in metallic, wood, carbon fiber, etc finishes. Its should be useful gor what you want/need and it covers the edges.
Im use to samsung and apple phones so theres always been alot of choice, but for the nexus theres just a few brands im not familiar with.
Ive used an apple leather case, tech21 case, trident case, ballistic case, and incipio.
Im looking for a case that looks good and decent protection.
I plan to keep the phone in my pocket, and at work i tend to bump into things. Also since the phone is so big id like drop protection.
So out of all the cases out there which would you recomend and why?
Take a look at UrbanArmorGear or UAG
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I would recommend Moko or Supcase. They are both pretty thick cases, and in my opinion, are pretty easy on the eyes
Cruzerlite TPU and TUDIA TPU cases are Mt favorites. They are slim, protect against drops and are great all around cases.
I just pick this case up from Amazon. It's a pretty nice case doesn't add too much bulk to the phone. It looks pretty good on the phone.

I've got the Spigen Ultra Hybrid on my N6. Two drops from waist height onto asphalt, right on the corner. No damage to the phone or the case.
I was impressed considering the Galaxy S3 I had before I got the N6 fell off my bed, right on the corner, with an Otterbox Commuter case on it and the lcd was destroyed.
I'm sure the other heavier duty spigen cases will give you even more protection. I just got the Ultra Hybrid because it doesn't hide the white back I went through so much hell trying to obtain...

Are any of these previously mentioned cases, grippy? Like the OP, I'm looking for some protection, but I'd like a case that's very grippy (almost rubber-like), resists fingerprints, isn't so thick that it messes up wireless charging, and doesn't cover up the Nexus logo (everyone leaves the moto one intact, but covers up the Nexus! Heresy!) Any cases out there like that, or that a pipe dream?

Anybody try the versus slim case or the versus thor case?
I'd look at the ringke fusion. Looks good, relatively protective and better grip.

Thor isn't out yet. I have it ordered, but yet to receive it.
This case is amazing, buy it I guarantee you that you will be more than happy with this. I will be uploading a review for this case tonight on my youtube channel.

I got the cruzerlite and I have the i-blason armor box. Both are awesome. Cruzerlite for when I want it slim and i-blason when I want that otter box type of protection, and it's pretty nice for 9 bucks.

Are any of these previously mentioned cases, grippy? Like the OP, I'm looking for some protection, but I'd like a case that's very grippy (almost rubber-like), resists fingerprints, isn't so thick that it messes up wireless charging, and doesn't cover up the Nexus logo (everyone leaves the moto one intact, but covers up the Nexus! Heresy!) Any cases out there like that, or that a pipe dream?

I saw that one, and actually ordered it last week. It's scheduled for delivery on Monday. I'll let everyone know what I think of it when it arrives.
I like the edge but I don't like the sharp metal rim/edge feeling on the side when I hold it. Is there a slim like case that would cover it?
I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SV635BG/
they have them in clear too.
Rearth Ringke Fusion
You might also want to look at the Rearth Ringke Fusion Case. It has pretty slim yet solid sides and a transparent back.
this looks good

I tried 2 Spigen ones (neo hybrid and another), but I like this Obliq the best.

Spigen Slim Armor is working pretty well so far...
I love this case. Great price to.
I've been using this one. Love it.

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..

whats the grip on the obliq case like? Im using the official samsung case atm (the clear one without the flip cover) and it gets super slippery after a little while.

+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?
