What's the lightest but still good case for LG G4

I have the I-Blason Clear Halo case on the phone. It looks nice and fits fairly well except for the bottom where it's not as high as the top and the sides. Goes on and off easily, even over the leather back. But it weighs 26 grams. That's a lot of extra weight for this phone. The Diztronic TPU case is 18 grams and they usually make nice cases. Would love to go bareback but I'm not quite that brave. Anyone found anything lighter that still provides some protection?

lol, I just posted about a sale on this one, it was 30 but a new seller has it for 25 including shipping.
It is about 9 grams according to the seller page, but it is bareback. I got the leather though, so that is what I was looking for. Also it looks like it is an officially licensed lg case so it should fit the curve perfect.
Once I get mine in I will do a review. I hope this helps:highfive:

Thanks. I'm looking forward to your review.

What my knowledge and experience say is that the "revolution" case is super rugged, protective and durable it has a *screen protector and is impact shock and water resistant, ( will fit leather backing) its also light in weight and very much secured.

For this situation,a tpu case would a good choice.

I've got the diztronic. While nice and adds good protection I think it's too thick and heavy. Really takes away from the elegance of the G4. I've ordered the Nilkin Nature and heard it is very light and thin. Not much if any drop protection, but added grip and scratch protection

Diztronic is one of my favourites. Been using it on my Nexus 5 for more than a year, dropped it numerous times and nothing ever happened. For the G4 however, I ordered Ringke Slim, which provides only basic protection, as I wanted something slimmer. Haven't received it yet, but if I'm not satisfied with it, I'm gonna go with Diztronic again.

I have the same case as you. I don't mind the weight too much, but I agree that it does add more than i expected. My phone looks like one of those leather couches with the plastic covering it .

Good comparison! Now I can't look at it without thinking about those plastic covered couches.

Don't care for the looks but I like the rest of what you said. I'll check it out.

Interesting. Looking forward to your comments on the Ringke.

Maybe so. Can you recommend a good one?

I picked up a basic Insignia™ brand case at Best Boy. Good edge coverage, snug fit and all cases should have something very close to what has been incorporated into this design -
actual textured grip enhancement on the side-edges. I've been *****in about this for years and here it finally is . . . on a low cost case.

The Spigen Exact Fit is my fave. Super thin, protects all sides. Cheap too but quality. It is a hard shell case. I dislike the TPU cases on anything other than tablets.
I had Ringke before but its coated plastic. Eventually the color starts to wear off. I had a metallic gray and it was black underneath.
The spigen is a solid color throughout.
The only thing I dislike is it is slick. I had a Incipio Feather on my G2 and it had a rubber type coating that I prefer. But Incipio isnt making a Feather case so the Spigen Exact Fit is thr best choice IMO.

I've got the Ringke Slim case. If you're looking for a very slim, not in the way case, this is a very good choice. Very tight fit with a slight lip so the screen doesn't touch whatever you put it on when placed face down. I love it since it barely adds any size or weight while still offering some protection. Only downside is it's very, very difficult to take off since it's a tight fit. If you're planning on swapping out batteries often or changing backs, this case may not be the best option.

Easy Removal and Lightweight??
This Ringke looks to be lightweight, and easy to remove. I need both of these abilities with my G4, because I replace the battery at least once a day. Does anyone know of any other cases that are both lightweight and easy to remove (I have the tan leather backed version from T-Mobile)??

The UAG is surprisingly lightweight considering the protection it provides. I love it.

I have verus verge, and though it fits perfect with all cuts and it is rugged and good finish. It does add a heft to device.

Looks very interesting but I wish they would tell us the weight.

Ringke Slim and Spigen Exact Fit are the same style hard cases.
I chose the Spigen because I didn't like the lines in the corner of the Ringke Slim, or the speaker cut out.
The Spigen, IMO, looks better. It also comes in Teal.

Caseology stylish & functional

I know many opt for UAG or Spigen but this Envoy series by Caseology grabbed my attention (This is someone who previously hated cases) but have ordered this and due to arrive shortly.....
Will still grab some Dbrand skins but think I may grow to enjoy this one....
What are your views on this series? and has anyone else purchased?

Waiting for your opinion

i got the blue and gold one for my gold edge, its nice. main case is uag which is on 90% of the time

Wife has one of these on her Note 5. Great case overall, main issue I have with it is bulk, it will make the phone feel much bigger/bulkier. But the feel and quality and fit are excellent.

Really like this case the in hand feel is great and looks good to. Wouldn't say it's the best case out there for extreme protection (this is general protection designer type case.
Can't fault it as it is what it is and overall I like...but if you want that extreme protection this one is not it...
The fit is great in term of alignment of cut outs but in terms of tight fit (it's not ) I think this is due to the plastic bumper rather than metal the.
Overall score 7/10

nice good case though

What`s the best transparente case?

Hi, i`ve been searching for a transparent case for OP3. I want to buy the soft gold version, it looks really beauty. I don`t like to buy a beautyful phone to cover with a case and looks like any other phone. But i priorize protection too. I found a transparent case by Nilkin at AliExpress, but i don`t know if it`s a good case. What do you recommend?

Orzly Flexicase

The best transparent case which is also still pretty protective is probably the ringke fusion

i agree with the orzly flex case, it does not give much bulk but can protect too

Ringke fusion is an amazing case for the money. I'm rocking it right now. I got the Pleson TPU case initially, but this Ringke just blows it out of the water. Very very well thought out. Probably the best TPU case I've ever owned for any phone. I religiously buy TPU as I have found it protects phones much better than any Otterbox, or anything with a "hard" cover. The hard covers all create a much higher impact in my personal opinion on the phone. The TPU absorbs the impact, instead of transferring it into the device. Never broke a single screen/phone wearing a TPU case, and I'm rough with my phones. I take them dirt biking on trails and on the MX course. I've crashed countless times. Never had a single issue.
The only thing a TPU case can't protect you from, is getting drunk and getting in the river and forgetting your phone was in your pocket. I'll miss you 1+1, I'll never forget you....
edit: hey, i'm in ATX too! hello 1+3 friend

hello from ATX! I had the pleson (clear) case first too, and while it's a great looking case I agree the best TPU slim case I've found is the Ringke one so far as well (and i've tried a good handful...)

I have the Orzly flexicase. It's look and feel is just great.

I've got the Pleson and the Ringke. It took some getting used to but I like my Ringke one more, harder plastic on back with tpu sides is nice

I have the Orzly Flexicase also. Love it. It isn't too thin or thick. I dropped my phone numerous times already. Haven't damaged it yet. (knock on wood)

I have a nillkin nature case since november, it's still great, not any scratch and protects my phone well, but it is becoming "yellowish", it's not as transparent as on the beginning.

Nillkins transparent tpu case is great. I"ve been using it since a few months. It's super slim compared to my other noname TPU case, has great grip dou to its sides. I've been using a case like this on my last 2 phones, will get one for the next one for sure.

I'm using stock just fine.

I am using Ringke fusion, it's nice but the rear is a fingerprint magnet.. It is getting dirty very fast.
I've bought orzly flexicase, will compare it with the Ringke one when I receive it.

Also for me the best is the Nillkin tpu case, very slim and transparent that show the device without cover it.
That cover have also a protection for the hole of type c cable.

For me official curved tempered glass with poetic affinity case is perfect

I have the spigen ultra hybrid and it's great. Also fits snugly with the orzly tgsp, no issues.

I've been using the official transparent case from OnePLus and it's good. No yellowish tint so far in 5 months.

I'm using spigen hybrid ultra clear case and it's incredible, fits really well and dust doesn't get under the case. Really good.

Slimmest grippiest case with a lip?

What is the Slimmest grippiest case with a lip for the oneplus3?
I want the camera to have protection but i want a very slim and not that wobbly kind of case. I mean a tpu that is tooooo soft..

Ringke then.

Spigen rugged armor. Just got it. It's slim enough and it's got the perfect amount of lip protection for both the camera and the screen. Bonus : it's a looker.

The clear Ringke Fusion is thin, but solid. It also has little 'nubs' on the bottom that don't just keep the camera bump protected, but slightly lift the whole case off the surface/table/whatever. If anything, I wish the cutout for the headphone jack was just a bit bigger. I hate cases, in general, but this one is pretty good.

Ive looked at this case and i have seen similar that is diztronic and Tudia arch, i want it to bw tight slim and grippy.
How do these compare?
I havet tested cases with the nubs on the back corners but i dont need that kind of protection..

I don't have any experience with either of them but I did consider them both when I was looking. They are all smooth TPU cases so expect them to have a similar kind of protection and texture. My phone has much more grip with a TPU case than naked so I don't think you'll have much issue with any one of these cases. Just get whichever one appeals the most to you.

rhino shield? grippy and quite slim

I'm using the POETIC Affinity Black/Clear - very happy with it.

Spigen Rugged Armor Case

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?
