Got all my SPIGEN CASES and both phones so check them out HERE
I really like the gold in the clear hybrid case. Really shows off the gleam while having minimal bulk.
Unfortunately the back is turning out to be a fingerprint magnet so I may swap this out.
Great info. Thank you.

I got the NeoHybrid in the same Satin as you did & the Spigen Thin Fit in black. I normally prefer a little more protection then this thin fit has, but the phone feels so good with it on & its just enough to hid what would be the finger prints on the back I am having a hard time switching back to the NeoHybrid which was definitely a perfect case as well.
Which case would have the best grip?

looks like the thin fit, but the buttons are covered, have had the same case on my last few phones, they just work for me. ( i do have others laying on the counter, lol)
thanks for the video !!
Thanks for the video, already went for the clear case and gold S7, arriving tomorrow. Looks like I made the right decision, looks great imo.

Nice! Thanks for that!
I ordered the black with carbon fibre and just received it today. I don't get the phone until tomorrow.
I am using Spigen ultra thin transparent and think it fits great. It does pick up dust, though.
Spigen Tough Armor works very well on my S7.
Bro... You really need to clean your lens before shooting videos...

I had to buy the Zenus leather wallet case, for now. I'm waiting for something better with better protection and durability. Waiting for Seidio..
There are really thin cases you just have to look

You're not happy with the Zenus wallet case? I ordered it and have it coming. It looks like a good case to me.
I recommend the Ringke Slim . . . very minimalist. Pretty expensive for what you get, though, and the screen protector was kind of crap.

The case is good for what's it for. I like it so far but I'm not satisfied. The only problem I'm having is having to fold the cover back when I have to use it like text messaging. It's a hindrance.
Exactly ,the folding cases make things difficult

I ordered a different case from Zenus and another wallet case but in black with the stand on the back. It's the same price as the brown nubuck leather case. And one of their graffiti silicon case. I'll be switching between whichever I feel like using.
I'm planning on going completely naked. No cover, no case except maybe a belt case. Not sure I'll want to keep this in my pocket.
The $7 TPU cases are quite thin, at least until you find something you like. You can also order a Neoprene sleeve or the OEM sleeve to keep it in while in your pocket. I ordered them and the Neoprene one was $4 and the OEM 25
I tried one of the "ultra thin tpu cases" for sale on ebay and so far, I'm loving it. The case really is ultra thin, and mine is clear frosted so it also adds a bit of grip.
Note, it offers zero face protection, and only covers up to the chrome bezel on the sides.

Fits really well for being thin and flexible, and the slimmest case I've seen so far.

Wow that's thin. Thanks for posting the link, I hope I can still find this when I get my note this summer. That looks really nice on the white Note
I bought two cases.
http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Samsun...S0WO/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1329718439&sr=8-9
The empire case, i use when I'm at home. It's almost like not having a case at all. Protection for the left and right sides and the back are there. Top and Bottom are open as well as the front of the screen.
When I go out of the house, I transfer to the Zenus Wallet Case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/samsung-gal...784392?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4600c77d08
It's great for going out...protects the phone reasonably well and I don't have to carry a separate wallet. Oh it the case itself looks AWESOME!

Gotta say this is the best TPU case I've ever used. Even better than Diztronic IMO. When Diztronic releases theirs in a few days I may pick one of those up as well, just for comparisons sake.

Getting mine later today can't wait
Received mine today and it's a really nice case. It's not quite as snug as the Tudia Melody case (which is pretty nice for the price) so I suspect that one of the thicker screen protectors would like fit nicely and make the case a bit tighter.
The Bounce has a really nice feel to it, although it's quite a bit more slick than the Melody. The Melody has a more supple texture to it around the edges, making it a bit easier to grip.
As far as looks, the Bounce easily beats the Melody. It has very sleek, modern look to it.

just got mine also, Ordered on the Oct 20 from main company website (to Canada paid premium shipping to guarantee no custom charges). I got combo with glas t slim (not r) and all seems well. I was under the impression that the glas had individual cutouts for sensors and camera but it is a single opening for ear speaker and sensors. No opening for camera. I think I just got confused. Grey bounce with orange button. I really found the phone just way too slim and the beveled edges of the bounce help to fix that. Still I think a monster battery is in my future. Overall nice purchase and better/easier to grab and go. Just put the glas and protector on so haven't used it yet, but just the front lip makes it much nicer to handle. Love the side buttons.
Just got my bounce case, feel very solid and the side buttons are very smartly designed. Highly recommend, they should produce more colors to choose from.

Looks nice I have the spigen slim armour at the moment , by any chance could you post the sizes of the case with the phone inside? Just would like to know if its any slimmer than my slim armour ^^

Just got it in today. Fits perfect. I also have the Neo-Hybrid, and comparing the two the Slim Armor fits better all around. It's more comfortable to me. The holes cut out are better centered, and the SPen cut out is perfect. No rubbing when removing or inserting it. Even though the back is hard plastic it's not really slippery in the hand as I thought it would be. The buttons are very easy to push and use. Overall I'm really happy with it. The color is Dodger Blue.
More pics.
I order the infinity white. Should be here Monday or Tuesday.
How's the camera lens? Is it recessed?

Yes. Very nicely tucked in there. There is also ridges at all four corners to protect the shine of the plastic when you put it down. That's a really nice touch. When you set it down on a surface those actually keep the phone up a bit. You can actually see under/through the phone if you look at it at table's height. Great quality case.
Great I'm excited to get it. I'm ready to return this cheap tpu case to Verizon. I wish with the white version's silicon wasn't black. Instead gray would keep the whiter scheme better.

Me too. I couldn't find any cases I like that had white instead of grey or black. I have an Incipio DualPro coming in on Monday. I'll give a review of that too when I get it.

Pretty nice, definitely a plus those back guards to keep from marring the finish on the case back. Guessing you got it on Amazon since they charge more on their own site, I'm thinking about their ultra slim case. Spigen seems to be very good quality from all the reviews on the site I've seen so far.

Can't wait to hear how you like the dualpro...I had a incipio on both the droid x and note 2 and thought they were great. Still looking for THE case but the simple Diztronic I'm using now is doing a pretty darn good job so far...It'll be interesting to see your comparison between the spigen and incipio. Thanks
Thanks for the review!
Yeah I got my slim Armor yesterday, I got the slate colored one. Absolutely perfect fit. Couldn't be happier. Now just waiting for my tempered glass to get here and I'll be all set.

Literally the same setup I'm having. Waiting on the protector. Got the case yesterday as well. Fits very well. Tight, but easily comes off when you want it to.
I too, thought the hard plastic would be more slippery, but it has 'relatively' decent grip IMO.
Those little nubs on the back are definitely a nice touch.
The only issue I had was on the bottom where the speaker cut out is, there was a tiny flap/tag that wasn't cleanly cut when, probably separating from the mold when being made.
Simply took a little razor blade and sliced it off... Looks like it was never there.
Slate metal color.
A solid $20 investment. Would recommend.

The only thing on Spigen cases so far that I don't like is the hole for the headphones. Most headphones I have (and also extenders for my auxiliary port in my car) are all thicker, and don't fit in the small cutout. That said the headphones that come with the phone fit perfect, and a bought a $2 adapter for the car, it's all good. If you have an L shaped one you may need an adapter too, but not sure since I've seen many different lengths.
A note for anyone who watched that video review a couple posts back. You don't need to separate the two pieces. Mine slid on easy enough as one piece. Looking at the buttons I think if you pull it apart you're going to mess up the buttons somehow.

Picked up the grey and blue ones since they were $4.99 each with prime shipping.
Pretty good quality. The texture is really nice and soft yet still durable. Fitment was perfect. Very light. Replacing my slim spigen case with these.

I have a green one and my only complaint is that it does accentuates pocket fluff getting stuck on the edge of the screen but overall that's not a big deal and I gotta say that on the whole I love it.
I really like that the phone lays flat with this and yet it doesn't make the phone feel bulky.
Case looks nice. Unfortunately I hate cases that don't fully cover the top or bottom
Just to clarify for potential buyers, the cases pictured are the sand cases. The regular premium case has no texture. I got 1 sand and one premium yesterday. I was hoping that the premium had a soft touch coating but it does not. I really like the sand case.

it looks like the inside of the sand version is also sanded...will that scratch up the plastic/chrome band and back cover? thanks

From the pics, it looks more sky blue than blue. Is that correct?
I picked up one of the sand black ones on a whim - love it. Great texture, good grip without being sticky (still slides in and out of pockets easily, which the stickier rubber ones do not).
No, there is no texture on the inside to scratch the phone, only outside. May still try a spigen, but super happy with this - would have been happy at $15-20, at $5 it's a no-brainer.
why do all slim fit covers not protect the top and bottom? i love that case, but have to have four sided protection.

Hello guys,
I am still doing my search for an ultra-thin case with mate finish for my S8. It is something like the Peel cases for iPhone (sadly they don't care about Samsung phones).
There are some thin cases but I often don't like their glossy finish or the case is not well built.
If anyone knows a case like the Peel, please let me know

This looks closest to peel/Cali case I always use, will be purchasing this for myself , got the wife a Spigen liquid armor she needs a bit more protection
Received the elago case today in black. Cut outs are exact and fit is good, seems to be a bit of movement along the edges.
Perfect for scratch protection and a screen protector should work great with the elago.

Nope - the one negative for me. If it was, it would be perfect, but otherwise it's great
Spigen AirSkin is the best quality and closest you'll get to Peel or Caudabe.
+1 for Spigen Airskin. It is .36mm and the peel is .35mm. It is *very* thin, bordering on scratch-only protection.
Are you guys speaking from experience on the S8? The Spigen air skin doesn't fit my S8 for some reason, it's just a tad bit too narrow. Spigen was nice enough to replace it, but the new one is the same.
MNML fits perfectly and is the same ultra thin type case. It's my vote for the S8. The other benefit to the MNML case over the Spigen is, the bottom is covered on the MNML, while on the Spigen it's exposed.
I have the Spigen Air Skin on an S8 now and it fits perfectly. The bottom is exposed (except the corners) and the back cutout looks to be different (one big cutout) than the MNML (3 separate cutouts). Face down, it still sits without the front glass touching.
The Nillkin brand of cases out of china are good quality. I've owned a few version of their cases for different models of phone. If you want the slimist case that is TPU and gives some slight shock protection over not having a case, the NATURE line is awesome. I just ordered my clear S8 case from Amazon. can't go wrong with this case. I will update once it arrives.
Also, thing of note...this case has a separator for the camera and fingerprint reader. This actually helps out and functional to keep me from placing my finger on the camera. My current case has the same design as this was a feature I was looking for. Most of the cases has a large cutout on the back which I think was the cheap/fast way to release a case.

I got mine from a company called Bare Cases. Think they're a small company but the case felt very premium. Has a matte finishing. So far it's scratched at the back but I don't mind it cos I guess it protects my phone from those exact scratches.
The Spigen air skin didn't fit good and I just gave up with that.
