Thinnest Case That Protects Camera?

Whats the thinnest case that also raises the phone so the camera doesn't scratch on the table?

I have a few cases so far. The one that best fits you Ur criteria so far is the Spigen Neo Hybrid. The back cover is a tiny bit thicker than the protrusion of the camera.

Hello,
I pre-ordered this case, it will protect your phone and the camera from high drops. The case is very thin and as light as a few pieces of paper..

Does it raise the phone camera when placed on a flat surface?

orzly flexi slim is the slimmest case i've seen. it's a tpu case that wraps the entire back and the sides, has perfect cutouts for all speakers and ports. loving it so far

Try out the stock Samsung back cover. It only protects the edges and the camera (barely) its as minimal as it gets

According to their pictures and their claims, it does. Their iPhone version does, and the shape of the bumper confirms that for S6. Not worried.
That's the best brand when it comes to protection/slimness, it's easy to make a sim case for 4$, it's less easy to make it protective... that case for 0.99 will not even protect your phone from a 5 feet drop I presume..

I have it for my iPhone and its thinner than most cases. According to their pictures it will be the same for the S6. It adds around a quarter of a centimeter (0.1 inch?) around the phone, which is pretty thin. I did not even notice it anymore after a few hours.

Still clicky, but without a case still feels best.

Verus flexible clear case is awesomely thin and raises the camera up enough that it keeps it off the table.

I think you'll have to await for Devil Case to come up with the goods for this. Going by my z3c experience it took over 6months from the phones availability for the case to become available (albeit not in its masses.)
DevilCase Sony Xperia Z3/Z3 Compact Aluminum Alloy Protective Bumper (Sony Z3 Compact, Black) by DevilCase http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00SUWYDSK/ref=cm_sw_r_other_udp_awd_3J4gwb9Z7EXYR
(Mind you its not rounded as such, edgy, but hands down most superior protection amongst all competitors in this category.)
For now, the Fusion Orzly @hispanico mentions above is the nicest for the limited choice you have currently. I tried this on my z3c.. Offers great protection and prevents the phone slipping drastically compared to the naked device. However I personnaly found it made the device a little too clunky for my liking. But its a great choice offering the best protection for now.

I'd like a TPU bumper, something to add some grip and protection without having to cover the rear of the phone.
If somebody knows about one, please tell me.

I just bought a bumper case off eBay (Sorry can't post links yet). Search for "Aluminum Metal Push-Pull Bumper Frame Hard Case Cover For Sony Xperia Z5 Compact". It's from Hong Kong so there's that. Haven't received it yet so I can't really say how good/bad the case is.

How is the grip compared to the phone naked? (Never has aluminium bumper before).
And what about the size? Is it slim?

Yes, that's the case. I'll try to update when I get the case. I should get it in the next couple of days.

Definitely agree. Like I mentioned in the other thread, the phone is too slippery. I like to use the phone one handed and have to balance my hand between gripping it tight enough so it doesnt slide (which is fairly tight) and keeping it loose enough that my thumb can reach the left top corner. ust over the past few days, I've noticed some strain on my hand from having to maintain the grip (not too tight, not too loose).
I have the Orzly Fusion. I wonder if I could take off the back plastic some how. It would be good to have some protrusion out the back to protect the back glass too. Ofcourse, this sounds great in my head, but I bet if I try to modify the case it will turn out ugly and ruined.

I have the same case and going to try to remove the plastic back when i get my balolo back skin. if it don't work ill just buy a new one will report back.

Thanks, I look forward to hearing. the issue I see is it will leave too much of a extra hanging over the back due to the thickness of the plastic. Unless you plan to just slice through the bumper to get the back off.

So today i recived the balolo back cover, unfortunately they messed up and made the cut outs for the z3 compact... But i cut of the top part of the cover and applied it anyway. Now to the orzly bumper, i did remove the plastic back and it does fit around the z5 pretty good. The only problem is that it's clearly not made to work just as a bumper cause it is a little bit loose around the edges, so i don't recommend removing the back but it does work

I guess they have a smaller lip in front to keep the phone from falling out the front but dont need one on the back since the backing holds the phone in.

There is a lip at the back as well so it stays on the phone, but the "frame" is a bit too big.

i have that case, it feels alright, but it makes using the fingerprint scanner hard as the bumper causes the scanner to be even more depress and harder for your fingerprint to fit and be scanned easily. the buttons are just attached to the tape/cushion on the bumper and it messes with my already bad reception
also does not have a lip to protect the front of the phone in the event of the phone landing face down

Nexus 6p Otterbox like case?

I can't seem to find a sturdy case (like the Otterbox) for the 6p. I like the Spigen (Rugged Armor) and the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle case but they just don't offer the protection I'm looking for. I saw a possible alternative by i-Blason and a few others but there seems to be an issue with the case where it reboots the phone or it won't let you take screenshots. I drop my phone way too often and the 6p is big and slippery to begin with. So do any of you guys have any good sturdy alternatives or know of Otterbox will ever make a case for the Nexus 6p? Thanks!

I have the I-blason case for my 6P just like I have for my Note 3. While I can take screen shots but sometimes I have to make 2 attempts. My problem with the i-Blason is that my hinge connecting the top piece (the one that covers the screen broke off so not there is no solid connection between the top piece and the piece at covers the back of the phone. I am still using the top piece to protect the face when it is in my pocket or in a bag containing other things like keys.

Hey thanks for the reply! How sturdy is the case overall and how long did it last before the hinge broke? Was it normal wear and tear? Thanks.

While not available until next month, the Rhino Crash Guard & Shield will provide better protection than virtually anything else out there.
My advice would be to preorder it now, and get something cheap in the meantime. That's what I did.

You're very welcome! It is very sturdy thanks to the hard plastic spine that supports the rubber piece that into which you place the phone. I have the i-Blason case for my Note 3 (2 years no issue) but with that version, the piece that covers the screen connects to the other piece (containing the phone) by sliding over rather than by the latch that 6P version uses. It snapped about a week . The 2 pieces still fit together fairly snuggly (but I would trust dropping it and expecting the two pieces to stay together....so not clipping it to my belt). Eventually, I always evolve to using the only the bottom piece which protects the phone (as long as the phone doesn't fall on an uneven surface) but that might take longer with the 6P than with my Note 3.

There will be a bumper, screen protector, and something new for the back. But the bumper should be sufficient to protect the face and back when dropped on flat surfaces. But not if the back or screen lands on a rock or something.
Do a search on YouTube and you'll find some pretty incredible videos.

It does have a bumper which will allow the for protecting the screen from falls onto flat surfaces like floors or sidewalks (as long as there is no pebble LOL). When I contacted the company, they apologized but just refunded $5 out of $14.95. I also like the protection against possible bending afforded by the spine.

Thank you so much!! It's good to know it has the bumper. I'm surprised that they didn't give a full refund but hey its better than nothing and its good to know that they have a customer support that responds. I have a i-Blason case on my Galaxy Tab that has done the job so far.

They are sending one to me to review and I should have it sometime this week. I'll also let you guys know if it fits in any of the holsters that I have right now. I'm more interested in if the carabiner can be taken off or not.

OutterBox is one of my favorite site. You can't find quality like it.

Hey guys! Thank you all for your responses. Poetic Revolution is sending me units to test out and review on the forum. I will post a detailed review for all of you once the case arrives and I have used it enough for a honest and thorough review.

Bumper Case besides RhinoShield?

Hey, is there any other bumper case besides the Rinoshield that only include the bumper, like nothing covering the back metal? I can't find one. I plan to run a bumper and a Slickwraps wood or leather skin. Rhinoshield sounds pretty expensive for the amount of material you are getting, plus they have very mixed reviews...would love some more options.

Wish there was something like the Power Support Arc Bumper because the bumper from Rhinoshield is just too thick.

Wish there were other options too.

I agree. They are too thick (Rhino). I used mine for about a week, but took it off because it adds too much bulk. Having a 11 foot drop rating is fine, but I just want something to absorb my one or twice a year drop from 4 feet. I check every week or so for new bumper cases, but I haven't found anything else so far.

Why do bumper cases seem so unique and hard to find? I don't even mind a cheap chinese one. It's literally just some polycarbonate/rubber around the outside of the phone

Tudia Merge Case

Just received it yesterday, here some pics
More to come soon!

how thick is the back in mm or in? do you think you could fit a metal plate between the TPU and the hard polycarbonate to make it work with a magentic mount?
Sucks than my nylon bumper is to thick and slides from the magnetic mount
Also if you have a scale could you tell me how many grams does it weight and also how is the raisivity on the edges for when putting the phone face down or in case of a drop?
Thanks!

Not a fan of it or Tudia cases in general.

I only bought it because no other cases in the U.S market were good. The clear cases are just stupid, and that one case with the carbon fiber top and bottom is very thin so I had to go with the protective daddy

I ended up ordering this one too, that otterbox was just too thick for me. Ebay has a 20% off sale going on now and you can find nylon cases marked up to $30 but it ends up having free shipping and it's in stock. I might grab one of those after seeing the replacement for a back panel was only $19.20 + labor.

Just received mine. So far ok. I like the added weight it gives. Wish the front lip was a little higher and the back is a bit slippery. Last one saved my OPO for 3 years though! And yes the back camera cutout looks like a ****. Thank you previous poster for ruining that

https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-One-Pl...m=163052111365&_trksid=p2385738.c100677.m4598
$2.84 Free Shipping. By far the best value for the money. Very heavy duty and fits like a glove. I bought 3 different colors and could not be happier.
Too many people around here think they have to spend big money to get good cases. Not true.

Those cases aren't that good, I bought one for my old phones and the first drop made it shatter! It was only a drop of concrete when it fell out of my pocket.

Yes! Used it on my drive this morning. Perfect to hide the plate and not scratch anything (other than maybe the inside of the case).
I like this case so far. Seems like good protection and not too thick, decent buttons. The only thing I don't like is it's hard to slide the slider toggle.

Yeah I have to dig in with my nails and I'm afraid to scratch the paint of the phone.
