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

thin case for camera

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

Cool! Yea other colors would be pretty dope, like a smoke colored or something like that.

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.

What M9 cases is everyone using?

Just as the title asks...
This is a thread to share M9 cases&screen protectors based on your own real experience, it would be some help to others' to find a favorite case for their new buddy.
Now I'm using Arozell M9 case on Amazon[ http://www.amazon.com/dp/B012ODTG82 ] over 6 months and it really did the job.The look of the case is amazing. It is made of a plastic that does not feel cheap. There are two interlocking pieces, which makes it simple to remove/put on the case without much hassle. On top of that, there is a stand that folds into the back of the case, when you close it has a very pleasant "clink" when you snap it open and closed. Even though it has this fold-out stand, it does not take up any unnecessary space like a lot of cases that you can find.
Most importantly for me, the case encloses the entire phone. Many cases you will find do not have plastic that wraps around all of the edges of the phone resulting in the entire bottom portion of the phone exposed. This one does protect all of the sides and bottom, with nicely contoured openings for the speaker, headphone jack, and lightning port.

I have 4 cases. The Ringke Slim Gold case which I posted on here already, the Orzly FlexiSlim in smoke black which i really like - its ultra thin!
http://orzly.com/orzly-flexislim-case-for-htc-m9-smoke-black.html
and currently I am using this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/MYRIANN-Ult...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item46386f94b3
It's like the Poetic Atmosphere but its a clear case - I wish it was smoke translucent.

I've been using a black Ringke Slim. Super slim, love it.

Currenly using the Spigen Slim Armor... generally speaking, I find the Spigen cases to be about as "no-frills-y" as they get, but this one does come with an added feature... gonna post a separate blog about it, but I can definitely confirm that it successfully resisted a 2'-4' drop on corners and face down.

I really like the Tech21 Evo Tactical

Im using this one with the InvisibleShield HDX screen protector, both recommended by the T-Mobile rep who checked me out when I got the phone. He uses the same setup on his M9, says his phone goes through hell, but it looked pristine to me. I've already dropped mine 10+ times in the 2 days I've had it, not a scratch. The "self-healing" tempered glass InvisibleShield is great for the screen, too.

I m using dot view ice premium and generic black slim case and I am happy with them up to now. No spigen purchased 'cause i think they do some bulky cases nowadays.

Spigen Neo Hybrid does a nice job and the camera is just right. I've been using it for over a month

Has anyone picked up the new HTC clear shield case yet? I am trying to compare it to the Spigen Ultra Hybrid as both look pretty similar.

I'm with otterbox right now, and whenever they are available, i'll pick up some junky ones on aliexress. They take a while to get here, but it's nice to have a variety without spending lots.

Ringke Slim

Switched to otterbox, had HTC dotview, but the binding started to rip so I returned it. HTC dotview is a cool concept , but is not practical if you use your phone a lot (IMO)

Went from Spigen Neo Hybrid to UAG and never looking back

Im using a Seidio dilex case with kickstand

Another vote for the Spigen Neo-Hybrid. Nice color choices for the bumper and not bulky.

My UAG arrived today and it looks and feels great. Very pleased.

Which one is your favorite?? Also share more in replies.

I just received the Ringke Fusion case today. In my opinion it looks pretty cool and it offers what looks like a significant amount of protection without adding an excess amount of bulk to the device. I had a Spigen Slim Armor case on my Nexus 6, and I like the feel of it better than the Fusion. Kind of wish they made a Slim Armor case for the 6P as well. One good thing about the Ringke Fusion case though, is that it has a clear back. So it doesn't hide any of the 6P's natural beauty. Looks great with my Aluminum 6P and I imagine it will look great if I add a dbrand or slick wraps skin to the 6P as well, since the back of the case is transparent. I feel like I made a great choice for a case, especially considering it was the one I could get shipped to me the quickest from Amazon.

A bit misleading; the ToastMade wood cover is an adhesive skin (similar concept to dBrand and Slickwraps); it's not a case. Only difference is in the materials.

Agreed. And while the concept of a wood case sounds cool, this image from their website really turned me off. Looks kind of like a hack job. I'm not saying it is, or that there's a better way to surround a curvy phone with wood, but I don't like this.

I would call it a case / skin hybrid, as it's much thicker, and more protective than a skin @ ~1mm in thickness. We use high grade adhesives from 3M that keep the device Toasted, and they're easy to install / remove. Also, there's no need to worry about sand and other debris unknowingly getting caught inside your case and scratching your phone. :good:
Oh, and we'll have 6P install / removal video posted up later today or tomorrow.

I got in touch with the people at Carved, who make actual wood cases. The back is made of wood and polycarbonate (or rubber) frames the edges. They said that they're looking into making a case for the N6P, but nothing would be ready until next year.

The problem with real wood cases (rather than covers) is that they're extremely thick and make the phone even more of a challenge to use / fit in your pocket.
Also, cases allow sand and other debris to unknowingly get inside and scratch the device.

Those are scorelines laser etched into the wood, enabling it to wrap the device. The pictures do not do them justice. Also, they provide an amazing grip.

Not thick at all actually. I had a Carved case on my GS4 and it was one of the thinner cases I've owned. The wood they put on the back is cut thin. Their puzzle case was neat with different types of wood for each color.

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
