Thinnest case you've seen?

I'm looking for a new case. Recently had the Spigen Neo Hybrid. Amazing case until the back TPU started to get dirty really easily.
Anyways, just wanted to ask what the thinnest cases any of you have seen around is?
After I cracked my screen I started using the phone with no case and omiglawb it feels so much better, But to rock a phone without a case is dangerous so I figured I'd get a case, but this time something really, really thin so it doesn't add much bulk to the body.
Any input is appreciated, fellas.

UAG cases are thin and protective, just don't get slate. Slate scratches slightly.

That is a pretty intense looking case, man. Not liking the design too much though.

This thin case for S4
I just got this really thin TPU case from Monoprice for $2.94 + shipping.

I needed the thinnest case I could find to slip easily in and out of my car dock. All the others I've tried I had to grind down just to fit them in at all.
This one went in no problem and is available in other colors.
Hope that helps.

I own a Pinlo Slice 3 and I'm very happy with it. I only use it in more formal occasions, my daily case is a Spigen Neo Hybrid, like you ( mine doesn't get dirty :s), but it has some good protection and doesn't get scratched easily.
Check it out. Hope I helped

I like the Diztronic tpu cases. Have them on my last 2 phones.

Did your screen crack because of a case? Seems odd you would stop using a case after the screen cracked.

Nooooo lol I had a Spigen Neo Hybrid. I think I broke it in my sleep or something. Phone was on the nightstand before I went to sleep. Woke up in the morning and phone was still on nightstand except top left of the front bezel was exposed from the case and there was a crack(s) on the screen. After that I didn't give a **** so I used it with no case lol.

This is probably the slimmest case available for the S4 (the clear Ultra Thin Air model). It's too slim for my preference.

I would love to pick up this case. Only issue is that I don't like how the top and bottom rims of the phone are exposed. :-/

i also prefer cases that cover all the edges of the phone. if you're looking slim hard case that covers all edges, then recommend the Speck Candyshell. I cycle between that, an UAG, and the Diztronic TPU case.

I use this case:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BSZU8H6/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It fits with a tempered glass screen protector.
A little work to get it off the first few times bit it is thin and covers all edges of the phone and has a lip to protect the screen in a face down drop.

mine is not the thinnest i think but i like my spigen neo hybrid

Ultra Super Dupper Slim Cases

I'm in the quest of finding a the most ultra slim case for our Edge+.
So far, I've seen the following:
Ringke Fusion​
Spigen Ultra-Thin​
i-Blaston Halo Series​
Has anyone found anything else that's ultra slim?

The thinnest most minimal case I have is the Samsung protective cover. Other than the edges, and the clear back, there is very little protection.

I picked up the black silicone case at the Verizon (corporate) store for $19.99. I've used these before (Note 4) and this one feels like TPU rather than silicone. I like it. Closest thing would be an Incipio (not feather or dual pro) or even Diztronic. This one is quite thin. I do like the ring around the camera on the Diztronic though. (I have the S6 edge version of that one, have not heard of an ETA for E6+ or Note 5 yet)

thx for share, looks good！

+1. Have this badboy on since day one. Now I'm waiting for a better screen protector to come in, other then the Skinomi one which I hate the rubbery feeling. My Spigen curved crystal sp should be in tomorrow

I too have the Spigen ultra thin case.I got for 10 dollars in amazon where on Spigen it costs 20 dollars .It's the best.

What do you think about this solution?

I got the clear Spigen ultra thin. Very happy with the grip, and I dropped the phone for the first time yesterday with no damage incurred. Only con is that the left side of the case is a bit "floppy", it's not very tight against the side. Not sure if this is a defect or if they're all like this.

I got the clear Ringke FUSION case and like it a lot. Couldn't be happier.

i have put in an order for the Spigen Neo Hybrid Carbon
Its doesn't half look sexy, now it may not be 'Ultra thin' but its a very simple case, and it isn't adding the earth to the phone itself.
And i believe I am the authority on thinness after walking around happily for 2 years with 3 different HTC Universals (Brilliant phone for University I might add)

Does anyone know of a good hardshell/rigid case for the Nexus 6P?

Just as the title says.
Im looking for a very hard, rigid case that wont bend, to protect my phone from bending while its in my pocket.
Thanks.

Ive been a fan of the unicorn beetle pro cases, I use one for my iphone6 for work and it has never bent and its in my back and front pockets. My only complain with them is the "screen protector" is plastic and attached to the case. eventually it becomes scratched. On my iphone i ripped it off and put a vinyl or glass protector. Others seem to like the two piece clamshell slide together cases.
When I do cases I usually get a clear skin from liek xtreme guard, and then put my case around that. Ive had dirt get in cases and scratch the phones. Some of these cases are so tight thats not an option.
Here is another thread on the subject, with some options!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/accessories/hard-case-search-t3247650

I would recommend the Nexus 6P Unicorn Beetle Pro Full Body Rugged, if you can find the old design.. the new one i find it ugly...
This is the new design,

This is the old design
Old design shows more of the screen but there was some flaws with it, the built-in screen protector was poorly done. It can be fixed by removing it and using a separate screen protector, I have a TGSP and its nice.

Nice suggestion! You're right, the older one is much better looking than the new one.

Yep, that new one sux's! What were they thinking?

I bought on of these off Amazon UK and sent it back; it's fugly and far too bulky IMO
Don't like the in-built screen protector on it either, much prefer a decent tempered glass which my 6P has already!
I've just ordered the Carpathian Elm Burl woodback explorer case from Cover Up and I've got x2 Orzly cases coming to me via eBay (Prime Armor & Air Stand).
I'm currently using the Spigen Rugged Armor case, but it's a soft case all round with no solid back which is ideally what I wanted; I'm disappointed that Spigen offered such a poor range of cases for the 6P and that Otterbox didn't even entertain making cases for it!

I have the speck candyshell. It has a hard outer shell with a soft inner liner. It's very rigid and should prevent the phone from bending.

The RingKe Fusion has a hard shell back.

one thing to keep in mind is that the black speck candyshell shows scratches like crazy. I've only had mine for 2 weeks and the back is already noticeably scratched up. I'm actually going to return mine and get the white one as that doesn't seem to show scratches as easily.

Thanks, but yes I do have the white for those reasons.

I'm waiting for a Poetic Revolution case which will arrive soon From what I've seen on the Web, this case might be very solid too and it also includes a kickstand and a screen protector. I will remove the screen protector since I never liked this kind of stuff. I'm very careful with my devices and all screens have survived without any scratches

I like the Spigen ultra hybrid. Have purchased them before for other phones, they fit and worked well.

I've never had any issue with spigen cases on many nexus devices. Will probably try the liquid crystal this time.

I wish there would be a case like the Peel case for iPhone, I love that case, its the thinnest hard case i've ever seen by far

There is a company named calicase that does cases similar to peel. Super thin. I think it's like .35mm.
Hopefully it comes to the pixel as well. Had it for the notev7 and s6

Orzly Airframe Case. It is a slim, yet hard and protective type of case. My favorite colour for it has to be the Black and silver one!

The cases are slowly trickling out. I prefer the slim shells. But larger hard cases definitely offer better protection.
I've put together a short video of some of the Hard Cases currently offered:https://youtu.be/dVU4eX6kkhw

Cool video

Sub'ing, I definitely want a PC thin case for mine as well.

Still, no one really thin showed up.. Waiting.. Add Calicase to the list.

Nillkin accessories for new #GooglePixel and Pixel XL is on the way. I was able to reach someone at Nillkin who confirmed it, but can't say if the polycarbonate frosted will be produced...

Hopefully! I have a Ringke PC slim on my 5X now. Was wanting that but they're taking too long

I'm looking for the Spigen Airskin or similar for the Pixel series. I have one on my work phone, and it's the best for a bit of protection, especially from scratches. I've dropped it a few times on hard surfaces, and the case did prevent any damage to the phone itself. It's only 0.4mm thick.

Review: Spigen Slim Armor for Pixel XL

I bought the Spigen Slim Armor in Gunmetal for my Pixel XL. I hadn't seen anyone post up real pics of this case installed yet so I figured I'd share. I definitely wouldn't break a sweat if I dropped my phone with this case on. It feels very sold and looks good in my opinion. I wrote an in-depth review with loads of pics if you'd like to check it out over on my site, here. Feel free to ask me any questions.

I meant the tough armor. My mistake. The tough armor was too bulky for me.
I've also updated the post to include my new video review.

I tried all 3 (Rugged, Slim, and Tough). Tough Armor is the best by far and Slim Armor was my least favorite. Sent the other two back.

Does the slim have the speaker holes pointed forward?

I have the Spigen RA and I love it. I miss the fact that it doesn't have a kickstand but the slimness and feel is great. Great in the hand and not bulky. Highly recommended it.

I was thinking of buying a Rugged Armor to test out. I really love Spigen. Great stuff.

I have the rugged armor on my phone and it's great. The buttons on the side are very tactile. The cutout for the fingerprint feels natural.
I've been using spigen since my nexus 6, after 4 tries with other cases. I had the case for over a year.
This case for my Pixel will be the last one I'll have to buy.

Hey guys,
I got the slim armor too and i like it.
I've got one question though.
If i remove the lower part of the case, the plastic clip (stand) just falls out.
Is that normal ?
It's absolutely no biggie, but i was just wondering.

Yes it's normal. The stand just sits in the groove of the outer shell.

I have the rugged armor for the XL and even though I'm loving it in terms of build quality and grip, I have to return it because the cutouts for the camera and the one for the laser autofocus are way too small.
Those cutouts always end up full of lint in a matter of hours in my pocket, and the phone autofocus stops working or does weird things.
I can wipe the camera lens easily, but the autofocus cutout is so small, it's a pain in the butt to clean.
I'm waiting on a case with a larger single cutout for the whole camera and sensors that I hope will alleviate those problems.
I guess this case can work for some, it just depends on where you store your phone (no, not there :silly
