This case was actually picked up with the Paltinum (PT) branding @ Best Buy. I'm glad that I picked up something locally because my Trident case order has disappeared thanks to USPS.
It features:
Anti Static Coating - supposedly helps it to not grip your clothes. Overall feel I'd have to say leans towards slippery, but not as slippery as plain plastic. Has a little rubbery feel to it.
Play Through Design - All buttons are easily assessible. No rubber covers over existing buttons (ie power, home button, and volume rockers.
Face in Holster Design - This is suppose to protect the face of the device, but does not give you the option of viewing your phone without unholstering it like the Otterbox Defender case. Also small debris can get caught on the felt. This may put an abrasive object between the holster and your screen. Depends on the thickness of said piece of debris whether or not it could cause damage. The outsides of the case should provide a bit of standoff between the felt and glass normally.
Fully Removable Holster - Use with or without the holster. Your preference.

It's a great case, I have one for my S2 Skyrocket.
If I decide to buy an S4, I will be getting the Surface with metal kickstand from Seidio.

I bought one of these cases today but mine has a stand on it.

I bought the Platinum PT case at my local Best Buy for $34.99

I think he has his heart set on the one with the kickstand. Probably wondering where he could pick it up locally vs going to sedioonline or whatever.

This is what i use on all my phones.. It is very light and slim case...

Do you think this case would be compatible with the SGP glas.tr slim screen protector?

It works... Barely. Sliding it on did lift the glass protector off a little at corners but using fingernails to lift up on the black lip edge of the case made it pop up and the glass sat underneath just fine. It's a tight fit though

Hi! is it the same case as case from Seidio (SURFACE™)? Why this one has another logo? plastic? THX.

Because of the wonderful branding gods @ Best Buy. :laugh:
I didn't find any official statement on this. Perhaps I should visit Seidio in Houston and ask for an official statement ha!
Too bad I'm not going to CTIA this year.

Looking for slim case

Hey guys I'm looking for a really slim case that isn't raised too much along the edges of the screen or cover too much of the sides of the device. A couple I'm looking at is the Obliq case, spigen capsule, spigen slim armor, or maybe the official Samsung protective case.
I have a tech 21 case now and it's ok but it's a bit bulky around the edges and kind of hides the shape of the phone.

I had the Tech21 case and currently have the Speigen Capsule and Samsung cases. The Tech21 was WAY too thick and bulky, and the buttons were hard to press. The Capsule is very thin, but has sharp edges IMO. I found it really uncomfortable to hold without it feeling like my hand may get cut (it never happened, but still hurt).
The Samsung case is awesome though. Fits beautifully and looks like it's a part of the phone. It protects really well too and hardly adds any thickness. I'd highly recommend it. It's worth the money 105%.

Is it thick enough that the camera isnt exposed, do you have a link to the one you are talking about ?

Yes, try Amazon.

Look up verus iron shield champagne gold galaxy note 4 review by real reviews on YouTube thy have a link in the description probably the best thin case for the note 4 in the link the have different colors also

Ringke Slim case is the slimmest one IMO by far at the expense of drop protection. The black one has a nice matte finish while the other colors are more glossy which I don't like.
It adds the least bulk and gives a bit of protection - I've dropped my phone onto hardwood floors a couple times from 3-4 feet. The case slightly deformed but the phone was perfect. However I expect any drop onto a hard surface like concrete will break the screen.

Like the previous post stated, the Ringke slim is super thin. The SF black has good grip.
I would go with the Samsung Protective cover though. a little thicker but you are drop protected and the case feels better in hand.
Ringke Slim 9.99
Samsung Protective Cover:
12.00 (Blue)
14.00 (Black)
15.00 (Red)

Thank you guys for the ideas. I really like how slim the ringke is but it makes me a little nervous. I think I'm torn between the Samsung protective case and the verus. Both look super nice although the Samsung appears to be a bit slimmer

I have a Verus Thor on mine, and I think it's pretty amazing for its slimness to protection ratio. Camera's protected, there's enough of a lip in front to protect the screen (I've got a tempered glass protector anyway), and if there's a con, it's that it fits so tight and snug that you don't want to take it off too often; I ended up buying a new dock just so I don't have to. Well, that, and it's not highly textured or rubbery, so it feels a little smoother in the hand than I see a lot of people liking. Fell out twice at work a few days ago--once onto concrete, once onto steel car wash railings--and it still looks pristine. I highly recommend it.

If by "thick enough that the camera isnt exposed," you mean that when you rest the phone on a table, the camera lens isnt resting directly on the flat surface, then yes. There is a lip around the camera lens that will keep it from touching any flat surface.

i want it too

Well after reading the comments from you guys I decided to pull the trigger on the blue Samsung protective cover. Seems like it offers good protection and a very slim form factor. I'll post some pics once it comes in the mail

That Samsung one looks nice. There is a great review on it from a guy named lawmanfj on youtube. I'll probably grab that one down the road. I just purchased the S-View case, and I really like it. It is a flip case, but it doesn't add much bulk. Seems like the drop protection might not be the best, but since it replaces your back battery cover, it's stay's slim. It does run about $26 through Amazon. I picked one up at Best Buy for a few bucks more, but got to try it out before purchasing.
You should post some pics when your case comes in, and give a review of it.

Does anyone know if there is a case like the Samsung Protective Cover, but replaces the battery door to make it slimmer? Basically i would like to find something with some protection around the edges, and a lip for the screen, but without adding to the thickness of the phone.

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.

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)

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...

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.
