Thinnest case?

Put Ghost Armor Matte on my Skyrocket but am getting annoyed with how parts of it peel. Used to throw Best Skins Ever on every device without issue. Any suggestions on the best thinnest case vs. protective skins?
The Cellaris case here seems interesting for it's aluminum cover: https://www.cellairis.com/product/cellairis-fender-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-ii-skyrocket-i727-black
So does this cheap TPU case: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1678753

Thinnest case probably is the Rearth Ringke.

I m using diztonic TPU, not sure if it is the thinnest but is quite nice

I have a generic TPU case (no idea what brand) and by my ruler/eye it is 12mm, so the one linked above is only .5mm thinner. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't notice the difference.

I have the BodyGlove case. It's hard rubber, nice grip and adds protection to the screen because it overlaps the front of the phone. It works well because I've dropped it on my concrete patio out back and the phone was unscathed. The best feature was the $10 price tag at WalMart. Looks similar to the Rearth Ringke and the Diztonic TPU. Great purchase.

I have found the Seidio Surface line to be the thinnest and offer the best protection. Excellent product, have had this model on my last three devices.
This case is hard shell with thin padding on the inside you protect the finish of your phone. And it has a matte finish that gives your Skyrocket a much better surface to hold on to that the slick stock finish.
You can find the case alone for around 25 bucks, or with the belt clip holster as a combo for 30 - 35 if you Google in the right places.

Hrm, had a Seidio holster back in the Blackberry days, solid products. Didn't realize their cases were also now among the thinnest.

The Surface case is very thin. Here's a video review I located.
Excellent case IMHO.
And here's a link to Amazon with a pretty good price on the case and holster combo -> http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-BD2-HR3SSSKY-BK-SURFACE-Holster-Skyrocket/dp/B006NYOW8S/ref=pd_sim_cps_6

Jus' sayin', y'know, if blue's your thing...

Thanks guys. Think I am sold on the Seidio given the 1mm thickness and past use of their stuff. Have the TPU case from here on order but might just get both and compare.

I'm tempted to get the blue Seidio considering how little it costs, but the wife might just kill me if I have another case delivered right after getting my new Diztronic TPU (which replaced that black case after I destroyed it, which replaced the Diztronic TPU she now has, which replaced a series of Dragoncell hybrid cases, which replaced an Otterbox, etc...I have case ADHD).

If it helps domestic peace any it seems the Platinum case / rebranded Seidio Surface + Holster can be had on eBay from US sellers for around $10 Although reading some threads it seems it only comes in black.
I think I'm going to get one of these although I am seeing some posts saying that the bottom can be a little loose for some. Hoping it's the exact same build quality as the Seidio branded version.

I know i'm resurrecting an old thread but is anyone using the Seidio surface case with the Samsung desktop dock? Pictures would be great if you can.

Don't worry about resurrecting an old thread... Our accessories forum isn't too active anyway
I have the Infuse 4g dock (compatible with skyrocket)
However there isn't that much space. The dock works best when the rocket is naked

Thanks for the reply.
Bare phones always seem to work better with docks. I have this dock in picture and that's the one I'd like to know if it would work with the seidio surface case.

To answer own concern, yes it does fit. Perfectly.

Diztronic vs Rearth Ringke Case?

Have Tried to find which case do people prefer - Between Rearth Ringke and Diztronic. The owners of both seem to love it, but dint find any comaring one with another - need help in deciding which one to buy( Both available on Amazon)
Those who've used/have Both - Please give the specific details of why/if you like one over the other.
And, Color choice - Grey vs Metallic Black?
Thanks

the Matte Navy Ringke Slim is awesome. Looks great on a N4.

Co-sign. The revised case is awesome, and fits super well. Cut outs are all perfect.

I have Skinomi skin protector on with Ringke. The top-left corner is a little too tight and it pushes the skin protector up a bit. Regardless, I still love the case a lot.

Anyone have any thoughts on Nillkin vs Ringke vs Diztronic?

Have 2 Ringkes and a black Diztronic, of the 3, the white Ringke is by far my favourite. The Diztronic is nice, too but I find it takes away from the visual clean lines of the Nexy where as the Ringkes are so minimal, you don't notice it. Will likely be selling the Dizt shortly.

What was the color of the other slim case? Mines black, the Grey one looked very appealing to me.

Of the Ringkes, I have one black and one white. I pondered on the grey as well but did't want to buy too many. The white is simply stunning.

Ringke All the Way!!!
I have both and I'd have to say Ringke is the best of the two. I especially like it because of how clean it is, looking that is. Keeps the phone looking very sleek.
Also, Rearth Ringke has very good customer service. At least with me they have. I pre-ordered the original one, and it had the slight manufacturer defect. I just e-mailed them through amazon asking for a replacement, not a refund. They had the revised edition in my mailbox on December 12th, day after they started shipping. They didn't charge me a dime, and even told me to keep the defected one and how to 'bend' it to correct it. I only sent a single e-mail, and they honored their product. Don't really see that much for accessory providers, at least in my experience.
Edit:
I have an xoskin on my phone with this case, and it doesn't mess with the screen protector at all. The xoskin is actually the best screen protector I've bought so far. I doesn't even feel like it's there. Smooth glossy/glass like movement when swiping.

I vouch for this. Except I contacted them directly towards emails and no response (maybe they dont check those emails? .. not sure, but i got one from [email protected] but I eventually gave in and just called them and the lady was really nice) same case scenario over here. Got it replaced without question, received it Saturday.
Using the Black one here. Eco packaging very nice as well.

Diztronic hardcase ftw

When you say protection - Diztronic , do you mean - the Ringke doesnt protect the phone as Diztronic does??

Well the Ringke will just protect from scratches. The Diztronic is TPU so it will protect from small drops.

I usually always get a Diztronic cases for my devices, until I replace it with a Mercury Pearl Tpu, as they become available outta Korea.
This time since there wasn't any Diztronic yet, so I went for the Nillikin and I am very impressed.
I may still buy a Diztronic eventually if I don't like the Poetic Atmosphere or a Mercury Pearl doesn't come out soon.

I own both and I would say diztronic ftw.

Same. The rearth is junk IMO. I was disappointed since I love the slim on my gnex but it just feels like they cut a lot of corners on the N4 version.

Cut corners as....? The Slim Rearth case looks exactly the same on the S3. it's their newer model of their cases whereas GN had everything covered on the sides.
Definitely not junk, I prefer the new style over the old. But the old one provides more protection, the new one i like the material of it a lot more.

Spigen Slim Case Opinions

Hey guys. Had a question..what's your opinion on Spigen's Nexus 4 slim case? Anyone have it? Any ideas on the quality, build etc? (Canadian here, ordered it already, have to wait 10+ business days).

Are you referring to this case? http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/google/nexus-4/google-nexus-4-case-ultra-thin-air-series.html < looks sexy
If so, I am thinking about buying it too, or https://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-hybrid-fusion-case ...

I would check these links out:
Great video review and comparison by AppReviewa: http://youtu.be/dVjS8SY_1z8
Droid-Life quick review for great photos: http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/01/quick-look-spigen-ultra-thin-air-case-for-the-nexus-4/

BTW here are some reviews from the actual website: http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/go...xus-4-case-ultra-thin-air-series-reviews.html

I just got one, its very lightweight and thin, it's quite flexible and as such comes off quite easily. I don't think I will be using it for much longer.

Think they need to make a bumper like the neo hybrid or similar..

Looks very similar than the Nillkin

I have all three of these stupid cases. The Spigen, the Nilikin and the Rearth. The best is the Rearth, Spigen second and Nilikin is the worst.
Just got the official google bumper and am wondering why I wasted my money anywhere else.

I dropped my phone. The case did what it's designed for.
Saved my N4 already one time.

Anyone heard of CIMO or CASEFORMER cases? Looks like they are coming.

So, trolling Amazon a bit I found there is a placement for cases by a company called CIMO.

Not bad looking at all, decent reviews too. Just thought I'd share.

Can't say for certain, but I think the first time I saw their products was when I started looking for 6p.

Nice. Can't wait to see what they'll look like.

Caseformers looks nice especially with the kickstand.

What do you think about it?

Is a decent case and my phone has survived drops without mishap. Like some clear tpu cases yellowing can appear but I find soaking in Windex or a mild bleach solution helps. Besides they are only $7 on amazon so I bought a few.

Decent wallet case

Hi,
I'm in the market for a decently protective wallet case.
So far the only one I've found that seems to fit the bill is the tech21 Evo wallet.

Wow that price is ridiculous! There's a ton you missed in Amazon man. A lot cheaper price too and will last a long time

I should have emphasised that I'm looking for a quality case with tested drop protection. I'm aware that there are lots of cheap ****ty Chinese cases around. Cheers

I said nothing about ****ty Chinese cases.

No but most of the ones on Amazon are cheap for a reason. I have a $1000 phone, I'm not too fussed about spending 60 on a case. Just can't find much that's actually quality in a wallet style. Otterbox folio would be nice tbh if it were actually available for note 9.

I had the wallet case from tech21 for my previous note 8. It was good, although uncomfortable to hold for prolonged periods of time. The other thing I didn't like was the s pen and charger cut outs were large. Basically if the device fell on those area it would have cracked the device.

I have this case for my note 9 and the magnet inerfere the s-pen near the magnet

I had the ipulse leather wallet for my note 8, was good.
