Slimmest case that protects

Hi, I'm buying a G2 and was browsing the cases that are available for it. I don't like any of them - they make the phone extremely ugly and bulky IMO. I like spigen cases, but they only have the slim armor, which is maybe the least ugly of all, but still would love to see something similar to the Hybrid Neo. Any idea if such a case actually exists (stylish and protective). I really like cases that provide good grip too.

Incipio Feather Shine?
Doubt it'll offer much protection though.

Have you seen the ringke slim yet? It's, like it's name implies, super slim, and has a nexus 5 feel.

5$ eBay leather pouch. Slim, protective, hassle free, still makes your phone not look like a 400$ brick. Take it out, use it, put it back in.
Most of the slim cases will give you protection to the back side at best, while screen, the most important part, stays unprotected.

Here is the tudia melody case. Really like it and phone maintains its slim figure.

Honestly, the dual pro as a pretty thin profile considering how much protection it offers. Slight increase in size but not an uncomfortable increase

After trying a few of the most popular cases on Amazon I ended on the Spigen SlimArmor. It's by far my favorite case for the G2 I've found. It's pretty slim, makes it feel and look premium with the metalish back, and protects the front with the little lip. I've dropped the phone a few times to and it seems to be doing a great job protecting it and the screen. Plus I really like the color. Everything I want and needed.
Only con I have found is the head phone port is really small and most plugs do not fit.
Still has my vote!

It' s gonna be the melody or dual pro. The spigen is interesting too, but i heard it won't help if you drop it on the front
How wide and thick is the slim armor ?

I cant find this case for the verzion version do u have a link?

I was huntig a slim case. And I mean slim like ultra super so I looked at skins and remembered that I had a roll of vinyl veneer lying around.
It is protective, not adding any bulk at all and looks quite good according to all who sees it.
Had a quickviewcase but its like dragging around a flappy brick and it´s not preserving the slim design of the phone.
The veneer is not lasercut with precision (used a sharp blade and a hairdryer) and it is a first attempt with what I had at home.
I cannot add links to pics

I use Poetic Palette. Real slim.First time holding it. Its so smooth, could slide of my hand, but overtime is good. I guess, i got used to it.:fingers-crossed:

The slim armor doesn't add much, but it is noticeable. I recently purchased the diztronic and while it is very slim, it's a complete POS. It doesn't even fit the phone properly, I can literally jiggle the phone around inside of the diztronic.

I like the Speck Candyshell. It's a little pricey but it fits great, has a nice low profile and makes the phone feel protected. I'm also rockin the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case. It's very low profile & fits like a glove.

I would recommend to have a look at the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case. It protects the phone fantastic and and has a nice grip to hold the phone. Also there is a nice Android art at the back of the case.
Phone with that case doesn't look too bulky at all. For me it looks slim enough.

I am actually considering that too now.
I just ordered a bumper - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261363558729?var=560265202779&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Now I'm looking at the cruizerlite , this one and this one
The cruizerlite is a safe bet I guess. What do you think about color - I have a white G2, so maybe the clear case will be the best.
Oh, and one more thing - I have the D802, but don't know what the differences are between sprint/t-mobile, AT&T and D802. I understand that Verizon version is completely different, but how about the others. What model sold in the US us similar to my D802

The only one that is different is the verizon version the rest are about identical with the exception of maybe the thickness but its so minuscule that you will never notice it

So the Cruzerlite it is

That's not a hybrid case. Hybrid cases use more than 1 type of material like a polycarbonate back and TPU bumper. The Tech 21 is the thinnest hybrid case I gave so far besidssbrhe Ringke; although the Tech 21 case is taller.

I think the Ringke is the best slim case out there. I currently have it on my s7 edge.

As I mentioned that's not a hybrid case. If the OP wants non-hyrbid cases that would be an excellent choice or the Spigen Thin Fit.

I ordered one, you don't feel the lip as rough? How about feeling the parts where its purposefully cut? I want grip, but will not sacrifice a premium thickness or feel for it. I was thinking this or the Incipio Feather.

You can check my reviews for cases, I don't have the Incipio feather, but i have 2 of their other cases. I'll have more to review shortly, and I might get some more slim ones as well. The Spigen Thin Fit isn't rough from what it recall

My wife tried one on her s7e. This case has a polycarbonate back, which is hard and slippery. Perhaps the back protects better against drops,but it also is going to cause them, too.
She's going to try a TPU back with PC bumper next.

I have the Ringke Air but it's going back to amazon. The fit is perfect, it's really light, has a grippy but medium-quality rubber grip, but the left & right sides of the case are too soft & loose. They sometimes lift & peel off when you pick up the phone by its sides. If they made the rubber around the sides a bit rigid, it'd been perfect.

They're a lot cheaper if you use Spigen's Ebay store. About as cheap as they were on Amazon.

Ahhhhh, ok, ok. I have the *slightest* bit of looseness on my bumper, on the right side towards the bottom. It just creaks a bit, but yeah, it's kind of annoying.

I believe the pictures I posted speak for themselves. I had the issue enough on both my crystal and normal hybrid to easily see it without looking for it.

Ringke Slim for sure!

FazeRN I like your way of thinking. There are lots of good choices on the site. I will add a couple. These companies are specialized in power cases with the difference of possibility of upgrading the case even further. You can get upgrades like laser pointers, better camera lenses, environmental sensors, specially designed VR packs etc. Nexpaq and I-blades are the brands that will set the bar for smart cases in the future. Take a look

What screen protector do you have on your S7 Edge?

Ozrly glass protector + spigen rugged case?

Is this still a viable combo? I had it on my oneplus 2 and it was good, I plan on buying a new case and cover when I have the money.
Also, will it look ok with having the black ozrly screen cover on a white model?

I've ordered and returned 2 orzly glass screen protectors, not going to bother with them again. You can clearly see the dots and fingerprints are much easier to see on it. I'd stay away.

I would recommend a wet application screen protector like Ghost Armor, Zagg Invisibleshield, IQ Shield, Phantom Skinz, Best Skins Ever, XtremeGuard. They're all the same. A perfect install looks really good.

I've seen in the other topics that the ozrly is in fact recommended by users, but only the v2. I think I'll get that one as I also want the black to cover my phones white parts. A gold-black phone sounds cool.

Not super duper thin, but the OEM cases (sandstone) are great, rocking the blue one right now

Also waiting on the pitaka case, they should be making one since they made for 8/8 pro. Weird that they haven't posted any announcement or anything stating that it is in the works

Is the Latercase thinner than the official oneplus sandstone one? I'm also looking for something thin as this phone is slightly wider than ideal for me, so a huge case is a deal breaker.

I just checked their case. Seems like the only version available is the cyber edition one and it looks funky to me. Not too keen on the design where it only has small cut outs for each camera hole and flash. Wish they had a normal version like the rest of their oneplus cases.
