I have a tpu case that is super thin but doesn't lift up enough to protect camera
Does anyone know of a thin case that also protects camera?
You might try the Spigen Liquid Crystal.

I have the Samsung Clear Protective, which is also very thin and flush with the camera. What I did was put a tiny self adhesive rubber bumper on the case, right above the camera. This one is only 0.062 inches high, but that is enough to lift the camera and is hardly noticeable.

Galaxy S6 Clear Thin Case Spigen® Liquid Crystal [Slim + Protective + Flexible]
I got the pearl white so i obviously wanted that to show. This is a clear case which still shows the beauty of the design, plus it has mad grip too. It's so thin and clear that I forget its on sometimes lol.
Best part is that it has enough bump in the back to protect the camera of course

I saw this one floating around one of the G+ communities. It looks like it has a bit of lip on the back side to protect the camera up the sides. I'm going to check it out if I end up not liking the Orzly Flexislim i just ordered

I have the Flexislim. It has 2 issues. The first one is that I still don't put my phone on the back to protect the camera, since the case doesn't, aaaand it's very slippery. Other than that it's great!
I'm thinking about getting the ElecShield TPU one, since it's really slim and also protects the camera, but it's only available on UK Amazon.

If you're looking for an ultra-thin TPU case for your brand new Galaxy S4, look no further. The SPIGEN SGP Bounce is the thinnest TPU case I've ever had. Although the somewhat sparkly back isn't for everyone, I believe it adds a little design flare that separates it from the sea of bland cases. It can be yours for only $10.99.
Stay tuned, we will be giving this case away this week!
Nice review. Do you have access to any other Spigen cases for the S4 other than this one and the Ultra Fit?
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
I'm confused...
Is the Bounce the same as the Ultra Capsule?
I purchased this case and received it today. I do not recommend it at all, I'll be returning mine as soon as I can get a different case.
Cons:
-- It's mentioned in the review above, but the case is loose on the S4, mine's so loose that the lip comes off the front face of the device fairly easily.
-- The seams around the case aren't smooth, feels cheap.
-- Slippery back, as slippery as the default plastic on the device.
Pros:
-- Slim, doesn't add much to the device.
-- Cutouts seem well positioned, including the IR blaster hole.
The pros don't really outweigh the con of the case not actually staying on the device.

The only difference I see is that the Ultra Capsule includes a screen protector and Jelly Bean Button(whatever that is). The site also states that the Ultra Capsule is shock absorbent, while the Amazon description for the Bounce does not. Oh, and the Ultra Capsule is $24.99 verses $10.99 for the Bounce.
We will review both cases.

Honestly, they're both about the same thickness. These two would be the thinnest cases so far.
The Bounce weighs 0.6 of an ounce and the Ultra Fit 0.5.

Correct. I have a Diztronic case on my desk that I'll be reviewing within the next few days, and I can say with certainty that the SPIGEN cases are thinner.
I have the white version of this case for when my phone arrives early next week. I hope it is not too loose like you've mentioned! Looks very nice as a case all in all.
The mic cutout on mine is right on center, no issues there.
UPDATE: I've had this case on my phone for one day (less than 24 hours). It has rubbed the silver paint off ~30% of the front rim of my phone. STAY AWAY from this case unless you want the silver paint on your phone rubbed off. If I can I'll post pics later. My brand new phone was pristine until this case. Bummer.

I knew that chrome dipped plastic lip would be a problem. If a TPU case is a problem already, I have a feeling any hard snap case will chew up the bezel pretty good.

The lip of the case which touches the phone feels very rough (I have a white one case on me).
I would not be surprised if the case is what caused that damage, shame on SPIGEN if so, I'm not gonna be using my case until this is sorted out.
Got the Spigen Tough Armor today for the Note 4. I have no phone to put it in yet but I wanted to share some pics and first impressions. My oldest son has autism so the kick stand will come in handy when he is doing his learning games while we are in ASD meetings or whatever. The outer case is plastic with an inner cushion shell. Seems well built except for the kickstand. It fell off in the actual package before I even opened it. After reading this is a common problem I snapped it back in place but the two hinges that hold it to the outer shell do not lock it in place. Its actually the inner shell that keeps it from falling out. Now the opposite end of the kickstand does snap in place so it wont just keep swinging around as you are using it. Still I would prefer it to be a bit thicker as it seems a bit on the flimsy side to me.
I am fairly confident that if I were to drop the phone on a hard surface it would survive without a scratch thanks to the case. Paid about 20 bucks on Amazon. eager to get the phone in it to see how the fit is.

To keep the stand from falling out yes. No doubt it will work better with a phone in it.

Not as tough as otter box in my opinion. It flexes pretty easy without the phone in it. I would not sit on the phone even with this case. Too me the outer shell is just to add some rigidity to the overall case and keep the inner cushion tight against the phone.
you're looking for an UAG case if you want something that compares

So im going to return it.
I have the Slim Armor version coming in soon! , but my favorite case so far is the Ringke FUSION Clear, I will Ringke SLIM Case soon to try out

When the stand is extended, does it feel like it puts alot of strain on it? The stand seems a bit flimsy to me
I got mine today as well. I agree the kickstand is a bit flimsy. Also, the lip around the edge does not cover the gap left by the lack of coverage from my Spigen screen protector. Rather annoying.
I have the same case.. For some reason I find it difficult to get the kickstand out. Takes a lot of messing with to extend it... maybe its because I don't really have long fingernails.

Does this not fully encase the phone like the otterbox defender which also has screen protection

My Otterbox Defender experience is based on the HTC Evo 4G LTE and the Samsung Galaxy S3. I do not have the Galaxy Note 4 yet. It is scheduled to arrive latter today. I will update after it arrives.
The Spigen Tough Armor does not cover the front of the phone. It just covers the back, sides, top and bottom. The front is left unprotected. Think of the Tough Armor as the silicon outer shell of the Otterbox Defender. The Tough Armor also has the hard plastic piece that give the whole case a more rigidity.
It is not anywhere near as bulky as the Defender. I have not done nor to I plan on intentionally doing a drop test, but it does not "feel" as if I have the same level of protection.
If I end up getting an S6, I'll probably want the slimmest case possible since I won't need uber-protection nor do I wish to add a lot more bulk.
These are the three I'm currently considering:
1) Obliq Ultra Slim Fit

2) Spigen Galaxy Slim Fit
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen...UTF8&qid=1426904642&sr=8-6&keywords=spigen+s6
3) Ringke SLIM case
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-S6-Cas...e=UTF8&qid=1427082439&sr=8-2&keywords=slim+s6
And just an FYI - I bought a Ringke SLIM case for my Note 4 and what I noticed was that it leaves scratch marks when you try to remove it.
I now use my Note 4 naked, but for the S6 I don't think that's the way I'll go, especially with all that glass material and the phone itself being such a finger print magnet.
Let me know which slim cases you're considering and if there's others out there.
the slimmest would be the Spigen Ultra thin, http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QU4N7AK/, which Spigen claims to be the "thinnest on the market"

So, basically, what you're saying is that the "clickity click" feel when you press the button is still solid and pronounced?
May have to give it a try then...
the obliq slim case for this phone looks extremely nice. i'm probably going to pick that one up as it offers protection on top corners for the phone and fits snug all around it. just my opinion
Obliq went down to 9.99 on Amazon
Picked up that and spigen to test them out. Will return one of them
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqWezjnJOZI
This one looks really slim! The Smoke-White version on a white Galaxy S6 looks amazing and also invisible! I just don't like the logo on the side, i wish they didn't put any logo on it... If i buy a 700€ phone, then i really don't need the logo of a 10$ case on it.

I don't really understand the idea of bumpers. All of the size is still added both around the phone and in depth so there is no value not having the back
I ordered the rearth slims and the spigen ultra slim clear tpu one. Supposed to be here this coming week.
I've always been a fan of the rearth/ringke slims on all recent phones. They are the best compromise of decent protection and slimness imo. Looking forward yo trying out the super thin spigen clear tpu one too

while that is kind of true, bumpers allows you to have some protection while still keeping the device fairely naked so you don't cover all that "fancy" glass back.
The spigen ultra slim looks and feels very nice on the phone. Sending the other clear cases I have back. They all came with a protective film you're supposed to slap on the back of the phone to protect it from the case itself. The spigen has this micro pattern embedded into the back of the case, it's hard to explain but it looks good and seems like whatever they put on the back of the case protects the glass on the back of the s6 from smudging up against the clear tpu

good to hear. this is why i tell everyone to just buy Spigen and save the hassle from buying a dozen different other cases to still not like them, buy once and be done, Spigen rarely ever disappoints and if you're not happy for whatever reason just contact them and they will take care of you.
Quite happy about the final result!

So how did it work out installing it on the case instead of the phone? Did you do any modification or was it simple enough? The reason why I'm asking is I'm planing to do that .. looks awesome
I didn't do any modifications. I just followed the instructions provided by dbrand on Youtube. A hairdryer is your best friend. Do it while the case is on the phone so you can make sure your fingerprint sensor and mic is completely centered.
I had a OnePlus One with a diztronic TPU case and a dbrand skin. Once I got this phone I knew I had to do the same thing. I haven't tried this with any other case.
I did the same!

A sticker that looks like wood stuck to the plastic case that covers up the awesome metal 6p.............just not seeing it.

I wanted a case to protect the metal so the metal wouldn't be visible anyways. I wanted a thin TPU case that also covers the top and bottom of the phone and the Spigen Thin Fit doesn't provide that or I would have went for that case. To each their own!
Makes me wonder why you're in a thread about cases if you're all about the naked metal body.

Makes me wonder why you spend all the $$ on the metal phone to put it in a plastic case with a plastic sticker that looks like wood on it....

Looking through your previous posts, you're a condescending person who can't seem to understand that people are entitled to their own preferences. There's nothing wrong with putting a plastic sticker, on a plastic case, to protect a metal phone. Doesn't matter the price.

I believe they're traditionally referred to as "trolls".
I agree that people are entitled to do whatever they want with their phones.
Hey, that looks really good. Just to confirm, is the case the Diztronic Full Matte Slim Fit Flexible TPU case?
I've had a diztronic case that i later returned. The case is loose and phone would shake inside. That loose.

EvolutiveLabs is currently experimenting with a design for a RhinoShield case (presumably a backless bumper case).
A RhinoShield case will be made for the new Samsung Galaxy Note 7. We are experimenting on a new design for this device. If you are interested in knowing more, please do subscribe to this list and we will keep you updated once we have more information.
The current release date is September. Pre-Order will start later this August.
Anyone that's interested in being notified on the latest news/pre-order/etc.. can sign-up here:

Looks like a decent case. I'll be looking forward to it.
Do any other backless bumper cases exist? I never found one for the Note 5 and would like to for the 7. The back on a bumper case is pointless and just adds thickness.

I ordered an Aluminum Backless Bumper from eBay a couple days ago. There's a few color options, but, I selected the black, should look nice with the Black Onyx model:

Looks sweet. Though, I'd like at least like a thin back with the honeycomb pattern they advertise for some minor protection, since it's all glass on the back, too.
Im afraid of this cause what if it lands flat on jts back? No protection at all.
I thought the whole point of a bumper was to be raised on the front and back so it can land on flat surfaces on either side and not damage the front or back. That's what makes it a bumper and not a regular case.

Thinking about taking a razor blade to the back of one of these Ringke cases I got for $1 to see if I can make my own bumper case. If no one will make a real bumper, maybe we can at least find the fake bumper case that can be easily converted into a real bumper case.

I'll probably do likewise,the Poetic Affinity case comes to mind.
The EvoLutive Labs/RhinoShield bumper for the HTC 10 adds too much width in the grip.
Some complained about the stiffness of the buttons as well.
I have no problem w/the latter,but,I did find the added width was too much & mine ended up in the land of misfit phone accessories after 1-2 days of use,which was a bummer @ $30..............
This was my favorite case for the note 5, can't wait to try this out especially since they didn't make one for the SD Edge
Good news! The Ringke Fusion, Fusion Mirror, and Frame are all two different types of plastic glued together, so with some bending and a razor blade to start the cut, you can separate them and throw away the back pretty cleanly. I don't have my Note 7 yet to see if it still keeps the camera off the table, and I'm not sure how much I stretched it pulling them apart, but it looks to be exactly what I wanted. Picture attached. These were $1 or $2 with coupon on Amazon a week or two ago. The fourth one I have from Ringke, the Air, is all TPU with no clear line to cut through, so I'm not even going to attempt making that one backless.

Well the question now will be...how well it will hold the phone..since it's just tpu..
I would imagine taking it out of your pockets will dislodge it from your make-shift bumper case

You are correct. The Fusion and Fusion Mirror were too flimsy on their own. The Frame case, however, with its plastic reinforcement wrapping around the TPU, is pretty decent. If you're going to modify a case to turn it into a backless bumper, I recommend only the Ringke Frame of those.

Have you tried it with the frame or just guessing? I'm very curious if this will work because I don't like cases, I prefer bumpers.

I'm with you. It looks good for sure. But because of the lack of back support, I'll have to pass.
Although looking forward to seeing the pics.
The Frame does work and is sturdy. I'll take a photo soon. Not sure what the advantage of back support is. We don't have front support. We have the lip sticking out on both sides to protect both equally.
