Best slim case I've found yet - Samsung Galaxy S8 Accessories

First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)
I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).
I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)
Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.
Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.
Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.
I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it

Here is the slimmest case I have ever seen:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHFYJM7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XH1PWX9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and really like it. It is slim enough for me and has great phone protection.

I've ordered this one. Clear and thin.
https://www.amazon.com/Trianium-Res...d=1493470061&sr=1-1&keywords=trianium+s8+case

Got this one today and it is sweet. Super thin and I like that it covers the buttons.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/232311855985

the thinnest case would be ones made out of polypropylene. some of them get as thin as PAPER. others get thicker/harder plastic feel, but no real point as any drops will crack your glass...
I always buy TPU thermo polyurethane which is very resilient and i've been surprised a few times on how it protected my phones. the thinnest TPU i found are the CIMO
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-...011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493474636&sr=8-5&keywords=s8
I have the Spigen which is too thick, back side measuring 1.4mm on my calipers
EasyAcc TPU which i'm rocking right now which is 1.3mm
Cimo which hasn't come in yet, but... I've had them for s6 and s7 and it only measures 1mm
I like to cut a small hole and mod the TPU cases so that it works on my modded magnetic charger.

I have this case. It's really nice. Fits well, and really is the thinnest possible case at just .025" thick. I must say it is a little slippery even after using it for a few days. I'll probably try and find a similar one that has a bit better grip, but I would certainly recommend it.
I'd also like to mention there is a small raised lip around the camera opening make the fingerprint reader easier to find while adding a little extra protection the camera.

Loving it so far. It is a bit slippery though, not like other TPU cases I have which provide more grip. The separation between the camera and fingerprint scanner is a nice touch too. I'm guessing it is made from some sort of TPU., it is soft and flexible but not silicone. Be aware this is very light protection. I just wanted something to prevent scratches caused by everyday use. I was going to go naked, but this is pretty close and gives some protection.

I'm loving the new spidgen neo hybrid case
Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...
Highly recommend this one...

For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!
Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

I also have the Nillkin PC Ultra thin case and have also found it to be to best compromise between offering decent protection and staying pretty slim. There also a tiny lip on the screen side so that it won't rest the glass on surfaces. Looking at it from the front, you can hardly tell that the case is on. The Nature TPU case by Nillkin is also very nice, but you can only get it from China at the moment.

How is the grip
---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------
Does the olixar flexishield actually have something special for grip? They say it's a non slip coating but is it any different than regular tpu

So what's the most lightweight case with decent protecton out there?

As the tile asks.
Was going for the Neo Hybrid, but saw on YouTube videos that it adds a significant amount of bulk to the phone, also in dimensions, and it's not that sturdy anyway!
So I need a lightweight case, which will protect the phone, should have a decent amount of lip at front to protect the screen, and the case itself should not be fragile. I find it meaningless when a case requires not to be dropped. I am scared about dropping the phone, that's why I need a case at first place
I personally love UAG cases, but I don't like the hardcore industrialist look on them any more, I need something very simple yet elegant looking, like the Neo Hybrid.
Thanks.
Look at the UAG. Its pretty lightweight but may be more bulky than what you are looking for

Which one? Commuter or Defender?
They are the ultimate cases for protection, but then again they look very tough and rugged, which I won't like for the Note 3.
Right now the only option for me is to get a bumper, and in bumpers I can only have two, that Bear Motion one as suggested on previous page or some Amzer one, called Border Case or something, but I have no idea if that case has that cutout for the temperature sensor! Has anyone ever heard of this brand Amzer before? I certainly haven't! This is the case I am taking about,
http://www.amzer.co.in/Amzer-Border-Case-Black-P97313.htm
If that case doesn't have the cutout then my only option is to go for the Bear Motion one, but I don't think paying 2X price than what it's worth is reasonable by any means.
Lets see.

I've got the Commuter. It's a lot more elegant in reality than it looks in the pictures. (At least the black one is). But yes, it's a but bulky. It doubles the thickness if you count the rim on the front as well.
But if you want protection, something slim and sleek will not do much good. I've looked for those options, but they're all more for show than actual protection.
The diztronic tpu might be what you're looking for. Uag, spigen or especially otterbox are far from lightweight. I own the uag and I can drop the phone on any kind of surface without blinking, that case has serious protection. Otterbox is a tank, for construction people.
Yeah thanks guys.
@ShadowLea: Yeah I know that a bumper will not protect the device like an Otterbox would do or a UAG, but I am not looking for that much protection, just protecting the corners will do fine in my case, I think.
@lvnatic: Thanks. I know about UAG and Otterbox. I have used the Maverick on my S4 for a good four/five months, and it can protect the device in a lot of situations, but then I got tired of its look, too rugged, and that too when S4's backside was all glossy cheap type of plastic. For Note 3 and its backside material I can't think slapping a case on it, I just love touching that fake plastic It feels too good. If it were Note 2 or S4, I would not think a second before putting a case on it, because they felt that gross, to me.
Anyway, thanks all for the suggestions. For the time being I am going with a bumper, if I change my mind and consider a more protective case later then I will surely consider the suggested cases in this topic.
Does anybody know of a case that'll work with Samsung's wireless charging battery panel?

What Case Has Provided The Best Protection? This is For The Regular S7.

Was just Wondering What Case Has Provided You With The Best Protection With Your Phone? Was Just Wondering Cause I Have The Otter box Commuter And Just Wanted To Make Sure I Chose The Best Case That Will Protect My Phone. Thanks for the feedback! I will hit that like button.
Any cheap rubber or plastic case that is higher on all four sides than the screen will protect the phone amazingly. After that it is just a matter of style and materials to your preference IMHO. A 1 dollar case off ebay or aliexpress will protect the phone fine. It might look like crap but it will protect the phone AFAIK.
Do you care only for protection or also for compactness?
First of all make sure the case you want to buy is military grade tested.
For pure protection you should buy a case with a front tpu cover like poetic revolution, otterbox got one i think as well.
If you care for protection but also for compactness then i would go for UAG, Evutec or otterbox symmetry or spigen slim armor if on limited budget. There are more, i am just naming a few.
Go with the "Unicorn Beetle" case. It's compact and hugs the phone great. Great protection, screen protector and comes with a strong holster. I've had this case for all of my phones. Great product and the price is right on ebay for about 17 to 25 dollars!

I completely agree with you. My case who had raised sides, protected my phone from a 2 ft drop on tiled floors. Dropped on bottom left corner first, then stopped screen down. To my amazement no crack or scratches on the front & back glass.

Actually Commuter is a very protective case for your S7. I'm using it too. But you know that there is another series from Otterbox that is more protective but also more bulky than Commuter, that is Defender.
I have an Artech21 Little Rock for my "rugged" case. It's "Military Grade" and whatever other fancy catchphrases you wanna use. But I don't put much stock into those phrases... It's fairly difficult to install/remove. Because of that, the phone won't pop out, even if you were to throw it as hard as you can across the room (that's not to say the phone would survive inside). But the case IS plenty strong. Honestly, my only 2 complaints are that A) the tempered glass is like a half inch more narrow than the screen (but at the time of purchase, not a single tempered glass screen protector covered edge to edge flawlessly (loss of sensitivity, haloing, etc.). And, B) I'm not a big fan of the designs. When other models like the Vivid Arkansas look so damn unique good. The Little Rock just looks super plain. Of the cases I own, the Little Rock is easily the strongest, while the Vivid Arkansas is much thinner, it looks MUCH better. And it still provides plenty of protection itself. And I can't speak for cases I don't own. But the Little Rock is easily the toughest. The Vivid Arkansas looks the best. And while it doesn't provide the hardcore protection of the Little Rock, it has saved my phone on a few drops, one I expected to be bad. But not a scratch

Ultra thin case

Has anyone found an ultra thin case like a Calicase or Peel?
so far i can't find one. i loved the offical LG case for the nexus 5x. it was basically a cover for the back and had cutout on the bottom. all i want is to protect the back from scuffs. don't need a big case.
I'm holding out for the Ringke Slim to come out for the Pixel. It's been a perfect slim case for my old Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, and then the 6P.
I'll be using the Pleson TPU case in the mean time.
I ordered a pleson from amazon. It features some sort of dots on the back to prevent sticking air bubbles patterns. Get get on my s6edge with tpu cases today. We'll see how it holds up.
I've been looking for a thin case myself. I just put my Pixel into this case a few minutes ago:

I was skeptical because of the top and bottom which typically are nonexistent on these types of cases but I'm very happy.

I was looking at this case last night! Looks like the Ringke Slim, which I've had in the past and loved. Was it tight when putting it on? My only concern with these kinds of cases is scraping the edges of the phone when putting it on/taking it off.

I just popped it out and back in to see and no it didn't seem to be too tight. I don't believe this is a concern. The edges of the case are also rounded and have a soft matte type of finish.
Good case option from Amazon
If you need a quick case at a good price, try this one out. I ordered it in advance. It isn't that special but does the basics. I think it is slim, but not ultra slim. Check it out until more cases hit the market. Different colors and styles are available.
Search amazon for this name and brand. $7.99 shipped:
Google Pixel Case, DGtle [Shock Absorbent] Anti-Scratches TPU Gel Premium Slim Flexible Soft Bumper Rubber Protective Case Cover for Google Pixel (Smoke Black)
What I need is something like the custom live cases from Google, but not at $50 CAD. I have a Spigen thin fit on my 6P and I'm looking for something similar, but not clear.
what you guys are listing and talking about are thin cases, OP is looking for ultra thin cases, like the orzly flexslim series:
http://orzly.com/products/flexi-slim
I hoping they will come out with one for the pixel too, these are really just for scratch protection and will offer literally no drop protection, its similar to having a slim on your phone but more flexibility as you can just put it on and take it off easily.

I've been looking for a thin case myself. I just put my Pixel into this case a few minutes ago:
Crappy S6 Edge photo

I was skeptical because of the top and bottom which typically are nonexistent on these types of cases but I'm very happy.

Could you post a few more pics? I'm thinking of ordering this case too.
Thanks!
i'm hoping to go with just a bumper case around the outer edge, because this phone is a beauty and i dont want to cover it up! that said, if i did get a full case and wanted to keep it relatively slim, i'm probably go with the diztronic matte slim case. i have one on my 5x, and it's been not only great at protecting on minor falls and bumps, but has held up extremely well over time. couldn't say enough about that case. looks like amazon currently has it available for purchase, but it's not shipping until 11/4.
I'm using this i love the feel and fit on it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LEAMYFS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Are the edges the same color as the back (a matte black)? or are they glossy?

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's actually exactly the case I have on right now. What I meant was a case with open top, open bottom and open buttons. But not clear.
There seems ot be some confusion on what an "Ultra thin" case actually is. let me help you guys better understand this, and why android people want huge clunky cases baffles me, but coming from a lifetime of androids, then switching to a 6s, and having a fantastic case experience... this is annoying.
This is an ultra thin case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JH87ZSQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Notice the use of factory buttons, it does not cover the bottom of the device, yet still wraps the corners so if dropped is protected. so far the closest I have found on amazon for my Pixel is this case from this thread:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3MQCG0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Which I ordered, and will arrive Thursday.
If there are plastic buttons that cover up the factor buttons that stick out of the case, it's safe to assume it's not an ultra thin case.
Just got that one by Maxboost and I can confirm its definitely the thinnest "case" out there right now. It's definitely a shell more than a case, and it's a bit slick, but overall I think I'm gonna stick with it. I used some fine steel wool to give it some grip, and it feels better IMO.

Bingo bingo. People don't seem to get it. I settled for the maxboost also but it looks like decent space between the camera and the case worrying me. Calicase and peel are the leaders IMHO in this thin case space. Just no love for the pixel.

Thanks for confirming. I was hoping for the ultra thin tpu. Can you add some pictures of it after the wool treatment?

grip

What's the absolute grippiest solution for this phone? Most skins don't give a lot of confidence. Egrips doesn't make something for our phone and those rings or popsockets are huge
These sandstone cases are the solution http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSVII-Slim-...hash=item33bedfb626:m:mkaiNfq5LXgpPGOyD4m0Sbg
Go to the patchworks website. I can't post the link because i don't have 10 posts but i already have a spigen neo hybrid which is slippery but i kept because i like the color. The patchworks case has a slim and just a regular case but both have special grip on the side where you hold the phone.
i just got the alcantara case and it's by far the grippiest case ive used on any phone.
You could also try a bumper as well. Adds minimal bulk (also won't hide the color of your phone) and will add some grip too. I've heard of bumpers for the iPhone, but didn't realize there were ones for Android phones as well, haha. XD Erika Griffin mentioned one when she did her S8 unboxing on her Youtube channel -- the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Case. I couldn't find it on Amazon, but I included the link to their official site.

Thanks. Bumpers unfortunately are too big. They add a lot of width to the phone which is already extremely big one handed

That sucks. D: Only other thing I can think of would be to try something like the Spigen Thin Fit or Airskin cases as they're about the thinnest cases you can get.
EDIT TO ADD: Almost forgot the Spigen Liquid Air case, which of the ones I mentioned, I actually own this one. The pattern on it seems grippy, but I have to see how it feels in-hand when I get the device.

Ya I have a couple like the air skin that are super thin. Just wish there was something thin that was really grippy. Might Plasti dip a case....

it adds a lot of grip if you "squeeze" the phone, but not that much when placed on a slope.
I got this one and it seems grippy enough to me!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP6KZKC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The speck pseudo grip is pretty decent. Pricey though.
I bought the Spigen Slim Armor / Metal Slate case for mine and it's a nice, tight fit. Feels great in the hand. Edges have a rubberish feel to them but don't add allot of bulk. Now the trick will be in finding a screen protector that will work with. Like I said, TIGHT!
My solution was the honeycomb skin from slick wraps. I've used it on my last 2 phones.
I agree with pieman13, I got a dbrand skin for my S6. Protects the glass from stuff wedging between the case and the back and is the right grip
Double post.
Ordered the new black dragon... Let's see
shoot a load of jizz right to the back of your phone. it'll stay sticky and grippy, as a bonus no one else will want to mess with your phone.
I bought this case because it looked super thin. I know this is for the S8+ (this regular s8 forum is more active ), and it's awesome. It definitely is super thin, so it won't add much in terms of protection, but it has an amazing feel. Very grippy in the hand, and even on slanted surfaces. I love the feel it adds to the phone, and the size is perfect. The white specs are more pronounced in the pictures on Amazon than they are in person, they are still noticeable but not "sparkly" looking like they appear on the pictures online.

Ordered one to see how it comapres to my Nillkin case I just got (review up in accessories)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/accessories/best-slim-case-ive-t3597761
Holy crap, the Sandstone case posted by @peachpuff is AMAZING
Super thin and the texture is awesome.
It's even thinner than the Nillken which is hard to believe
Only issue is it DOES NOT have enough of a lip on the front to lift the screen off a flat surface if laid screen down. Not a huge detractor for me as I never have my phone screen down.

Spigen Rugged Armor for Huawei P20 Pro - Review

Spigen has been my go to case maker for the last 5 years and once again I was not dissapointed with the quality. The case is a perfect fit for my Huawei P20 Pro and looks stylish. All buttons and ports are easily accessible (there are cutouts for cameras, speakers, USB C port, IR blaster and microphone). The case doesn't add too much bulk and the buttons are easy to press. There is a lip on the front surrounding the display that should protect it from drops face down.Would definitely recommend. The camera on the back doesn't stick out and the phone lies flat on the table.
For 9.99£ it's a bargain imo. Link to Amazon.
I've decided to live dangerously with this phone, I've ordered a KitBag from Amazon and will have no case or screen protector on it, unless a DECENT full coverage one comes along
I got the same thing but unbranded for £3.99 on ebay. literally exactly the same.

Thank you for posting this review. I was about to buy one too but was concerned If any of the camera bump stuck out or was nicely tucked in. Spigen rugged armour is the best phone case I've ever had. incredible shock protection yet doesn't scratch funny enough. They clean up great and look new throughout (or at least mine does).
Damn, just got this case. Really slick, I'm a little worried about the camera it's rather flush but better than nothing haha

Try the Slim Armor, gives a good 2mm or so protection to the camera

I can vouch for the Slim Armor case. Just picked up a P20 Pro yesterday and Spigen was my go-to brand and it's really nice and not super bulky.
The rugged armor is good but the glass screen cover that Spiegen offers is crap! I've had it on the phone for 2 days, just took it out of my pocket and theres a crack right across the screen cover! This is with the Rugged Armor on the phone too, so theres a nice big lip above the screen cover to protect the edges. Nothing else in my pockets either, I'm very careful with my phones.
I have to disagree with the above ref the Spigen screen protector, I have had one on for 3 weeks and am really impressed with it. My phone has been with me everywhere in that time and has taken a couple of drops and knocks and the cover is holding up really well, also it looks and feels far better than the others I have tried. I'm using with the Slim Armor and together it's very well protected
I'd be surprised if the screen protector just magically broke on it's own. Probably just took some minor impact at a fateful angle. Maybe ask Spigen for a warranty and see what happens.
I returned my spiegen tough armour because of the lack of camera protection.
went with this instead... purchased 3 of them(different colors)
great case with camera protection
Dooqi Huawei P20/P20 Pro/P20 Lite Ring Stand Holder Shockproof Rugged Case Cover
I got the Spigen case before I picked up the P20 Pro. Never had an issue with it; I even stuck an iRing to the back of the case so that it gives me some added security if I somehow lose grip of the case.
It's true that the camera hump is close to the plastic spigen back. But it is enough to protect the camera. There is no doubt that it could be better. Spigen have recognised this and brought out a new case. See the spigen website
Anime had experience with Mark Armor Case from Spigen?
