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.

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.

I got the caseable one made for Moto X and it is crazy tight. They said they've received some complaints, nothing they can do for me right now. S5 is thinner, so that scares me. How tight is fit? Easy to get in and out?
Looking for a case for my M9, but it MUST have a holster of some sort. I have a Seidio on my M7 and have been very happy with it, but thought I'd start a thread to list cases of this type as a quick reference and see what's out there. Chime in as you will, and I'll update this thread periodically.
Please respond ONLY with cases that also have a matching HOLSTER.

Thans for the suggestion. I see this as more of a pouch with a belt clip rather than the traditional quick-release holsters I'm looking for, so I'm going to hold off on posting it for now. I"ll probably add it as a 'variant' when we have a few more listings.
@BillTheCat,
Just FYI, I recently got the Supcase with the holster I posted yesterday and it's great so far. Similar to otterbox defender for half the price....
Does the Supcase have a kickstand?
Sent from my HTC6535LVW using XDA Free mobile app
no it doesnt
Otterbox defender is an awsome choice - very good protection + 2 in 1 holster and kickstand... I love mine.

Hello,
I have a Moto X Pure on the way and I would like to get a case for it that allows me to show the phones back colors while protecting it to some degree and not make it so much larger and bulkier. The phones back color is Deep Sea Blue
The cases that stand out to me are the Incipio Octane, I-Blason Halo & Vena Retain. Do you folks have other suggestions ?
Any experience or input if those cases would allow the Blue to show through ?
Thanks,
Pete
I got a clear TPU case from EBay for $4 and its very slim and fell nice in hand since the back curves with the phone.
I just picked up a pleson clear case from amazon for 7.95 the other week, So far i like the case alot, its very slim and fits great
If you want a completely clear case and are comfortable with all TPU - then +1 on the Pleson: http://amzn.to/1NuSTcr, or if you want a hybrid (Colored TPU sides with a hard clear back) then the Vena Retain is a good choice too: http://amzn.to/1OCskTL.
I have both, and my personal choice as a daily driver is the Pleson. It's a bit slimmer and really shows off the back of my red leather. But either are good choices.
I have the i-Blason case. I think it was about $14 on Amazon. Thin. Shows the back fine and has a bumper (I got the black bumper). I think the only case thinner would be one without a bumper.
I appreciate all the info guys...I wonder what the difference between the I-Blason and Vena case is, are the materials the same, anyone have both ?

I use the Vena vskin, what I like about it is its totally clear, fits the moto x snugly, easy to push the buttons and the back isnt a hard plastic but softer so it doesn't scratch up at all, Plus it was cheap, got it off ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flexible-Tr...id=100040&rk=1&rkt=4&mehot=pp&sd=381431952096

idk if it helps, but this is the aforementioned Incipio Octane. I wanted the same, a semitransparent case that was well made and would hold up and also still fit after i applied a dbrand skin. Incipio sells these on ebay directly. Express Depot is the name of their store, iirc.
i also bought a dual pro as that is my go-to case for any phone, but i keep going back to the Octane. pictures in ads/on websites dont do it justice.
i've got one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/12205791935...49&var=421092565560&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT from Poetic...they have with and without the black trimming...so you can go completely clear if you'd like.
Has anyone come across a good fit yet. I'm sure I'll purchase the phone and factory sandstone protective case. Anyone have that mix and a holster?
This is the belt clip I use. I don't care much for the case inself. I picked up "Rugged Armor Ulimate Experience" case which works perfectly with the belt clip. I don't like cases with kick-stands.

The clip he put should work fine. The factory case and that encased case will be very close to same size. And encased belt clips are one if the best you can get. I always buy an encased belt clip for all my phones and it fits multiple different cases.

Quick update... holster definitely will not work with the sandstone case. A little too loose.
There's also Seidio or Platinum (Bedt Buy) holsters that work. Compare the holsters they have and use the one closest to the size of the oneplus 6.
