Best Slim Case?

Hey,
What do you guys use/recommend for a slim fascinate case? I like the ones that have part of the top and bottom recessed. I also would like to now your opinions on cases with kickstands.
Thanks.

The OEM Fascinate Kickstand case works well, and adds about a mm of thickness. Kickstand works well. I've dropped the phone about twice on concrete, no damage on the phone and a few dings on the case

How does the kickstand last over time and being dropped?

Incipio has an awesome thin case

The kickstand doesn't potrude out so it stays smooth along the surface of the case. I haven't had any issues with it at all. I've never dropped it in its kickstand position, because.......your not supposed to move it when its in kickstand position. But the kickstand is firmly attached to the case, so no worries about breaking it off unless you force it off yourself. Everyone who has used it mostly has good things to say about it.

Here it is.

I would recommend an otterbox case. I have the cheapest one, it is thin and I have dropped it numerous times- no damage

I recently got the Seido Active-X. Really happy with it.

IMO, the best case out there:
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/csk3ssfas-rd.htm
great protection, slides in and out of pocket easily, and looks great.

Thought I'd just pitch in with this:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Fasci...sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&s=mobile&qid=1303942589&sr=8-7
It's quite slim, fits in my pocket easily, it has a nice feel to it, and it's probably one of the cheapest options. I've gone through a few cases with this phone but I never really like the way they made the phone feel. This case on the other hand make the phone feel reeeaal comfy. I actually prefer having it on as opposed to leaving the phone naked.
The only real problems I have with it are that it's a bit of a lint collector and small
parts of the spine may need to be filed down (little sharp bits of excess plastic).

I have the incipio one and i love it. It also can be removed easily if using a dock. I will be picking up a second one actually in a different color I like it so much. It is also only 1mm thick but still provides plenty of protection.
I like the seido ones as well but to me too bulky. My wife loves it though.

I have the OEM Kickstand case and have had nothing but good experiences with it. I've dropped my fascinate once on concrete and there's nothing but a scuff on the edge of the case to show for it. It's sturdy and obviously fits the phone very well. The kickstand is sturdy as well. If you listen to music or watch video the kickstand allows you to access the screen without laying the phone down and covering the speaker.

If you really want a super thin case I have the Case Mate Barely There case and it is amazingly thin and has worked great for me so far.

Orderd this one with the blue backing. Real nice, and durable. Phone is really protected without adding too much bulk.

search amazon for TPU Fascinate you'll get really good cases, they fit very snug on the phone and are slim, shock absorbing and scratch resistant

I had one of those for my droid x. I liked it for the first week or so and then I got the vzw carbon fiber case

I've been very really happy with my incipio feather case. I like the "rubber-like back," and out just thick enough to protect the camera lens, which is all I was really concerned about.

I got the Body Glove case also and it rocks. I ordered a tpu case from Korea on eBay and it did not fit well.

Me, too. I got the T-Mobile case and I love it. Fits perfectly and is textured for good grip. Doesn't pick up pocket lint like some soft cases. Quality is great, too.

how much is the the t-mobile case? tmobile cases are more expensive(relatively speaking).

I would like to find a clear silicone gel skin. There are a lot that have an argyle pattern on them but I'd hate to cover up such a nice looking phone.

Good case for pockets

Hello there, I have the casemate pop case and the rubber sides really make it hard to pull out of a pocket. Does anyone know or have any cases to recommend that slide easily out of pockets and are thinner? Preferably a case without rubber on it. Maybe the Seidio Surface case? Body glove? Tell me what you think! Thanks in advance!

Personally, I'm thinking about getting this case:
h ttp://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Infuse-4G-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-Samsung-Infuse-4G-SILICRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
Inner soft shell for impact protection, outer plastic shell isn't pocket sticky.
Hope that helps!

Also the tpu cases are a harder silicone I have it and its awesome. Very flexible but durable.

Case-Mate Barely There. It's perfect for pockets.
Only con is it has a little bit less to offer in the protection department, but it hardly adds any bulk at all to your phone. I have had friends surprised that there was a case on my phone.

infused infuse helping other infused infuses?

out of my TPU case and the platinum I like the tpu case better, though the cheap free one I got with my recent spare battery purchase is just a tad too thick around the charging port and keeps the charger from making contact. easy fix
I really need to find the link for that..spare stock size battery, tpu case, screen protector all for about $12

TPU case all the way!

I like my platinum case. See the thread about removing it before buying though.

Seidio Surface Case. It's not cheap though. 24 bucks @ Amazon, free 2nd day air if you a Prime member.

I got one for my Atrix and loved it so much I got it for my Infuse.

Another vote for the TPU case, it's thin enough to not get in the way, has enough grip to prevent slips, and the material is more durable than you would imagine for a flexible case.

I haven't had any problems with that on my Seido "Active" or the Surface (which doesn't have the kickstand), but I did have a big problem with lint on the Otter Box "Impact" (got stuck with it on release day since no other cases were out).
Hope it helps
~David

this case is awesome had great fitment the buttons couture very nicely around the silicone it doesn't add much bulk to the phone which was a big one for me .although i would of like if they added a aluminum or stronger kickstand the one that comes with is plastic i fear that it can break but seems to hold up okay.

Anyone in Toronto here? Where can I buy it locally?

Ah thank you, I was looking for one of these!

I love the Seidio Active case! Got mine in amethyst today
*AT&T Samsung Skyrocket (white)
Stock ROM & Stock-ish Kernel

I bought the Active and the Surface. The Surface is a great, thin little case. However, I'm not sure if it will provide much protection if it's dropped. I also found the rubberized plastic to be more slick than holding the phone without a case. The Active provides a much better grip and is also very thin. But the rubber is way too sticky. I can barely get in into and out of my pants' pocket, and when I do it is covered in lint. The rubber part pulls away from the phone at the top and bottom whenever I try to pull out my phone. It seems like the plastic "exoskeleton" on this case needs two more claws: one at the top and another at the bottom of the phone to keep this from happening.
So far, my Pop case from the AT&T store has been the best case so far. If they only made it with a kickstand for our phones...

What is the thinnest case available?

I really dislike using any case at all on my phones. I've never used them in the past. But this phone is just so darned slippery, a case is practically necessary to keep from dropping it all the time. So right now I'm using the Diztronic case, and while it is quite thin, it still IMHO adds significantly to the phone's size. Are there any cases that are more just like a thin skin? I am not looking for any drop protection; just looking to make the back of the phone less slippery. I suppose some kind of sticker could also do the job...
Any ideas appreciated. TIA!

Might want to check out ghost armor or something like a full body skin. Basically a screen protector but for your whole phone.
Or check out the incipio feather or one of the barely there cases.

Full body skins are a terrible idea and a recipe for destroying your phone by corrosion, especially on a device with a sealed battery like this one.
Use an HTC hard case or something similar. They are very light and thin, but they will also easily break if you take it off and put it back on many times.

I use the diztronic case and it adds almost no bulk yo the phone at all.

Body glove makes a nice thin case. I bought one at walmart for $20ish.

Thinnest cases are these thin shell cases. I have the black one and it's really thin and doesn't hide the beauty of the phone.

I have both the black one and the transparent one.
They are really thin and add minimum bulk to the phone. However, they also barely protect the phone at all, probably only good for keeping the back of the phone from scratches.
At the back, the case is level with the red/blue ring around the camera lens, i doubt it protects the lens at all.
The transparent one has a frosted feel and is still pretty slippery, but it's better than without a case at all.
I would recommend the black one as it gives a rubbery texture and it's pretty grippy.
Overall i love how the cases manage to give me minimum protection and bulk.
i chose the One S over the X partly due to it's thiness, so i bought these cases to keep it that way.
Cheers!

nice

only found them on amazon and they will not ship to Canada; any other source?

I've used one of the inexpensive (sub $5) mesh cases off eBay. Extremely thin, feels great in the hand, but quality could be better. Then again I paid three bucks for it.
Dust definitely gets behind the case through all the holes, but I'm willing to deal with that to get the additional heat dissipation for those times when it gets toasty. I just wish I could find a vented TPU case instead of this hard rubberized plastic.
