Who makes the thinnest case like gear4 for iphone? - Thunderbolt Accessories

Does anyone know of a case like the gear4 for iphone?
http://www.amazon.com/Gear4-Iphone-...PM/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1306965457&sr=8-17
My friend has one for his iphone and its so thin its hard to tell there even a case on it. It slips in and out of pockets with ease. No bulk at all.

whats the point of having such a thin case? it wont protect it much at all

Im not looking for it to protect it from dropping it, but more from scratches from putting it down on tables and bars and things like that. Right not i have a thin silicone case that will fall off if the wind blows to hard lol.

The case-mate barely there case is your best bet. I have one and I love it. It won't provide much protection from a drop but it's great for tossing the phone onto a table or desk.

Seconded. Not much drop protection, but thin and no scratches. I love mine, but I don't love how it doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone.

Casemate...there is also a no name brand knockoff of the casemate on amazon. Just search for thunderbolt cases and look for a 1 piece snap on. There are not many to pick from.

I like to have a pouch case for my thunderbolt so I can still easily use my car dock. This one from Sena cases is awesome

The only one that comes close is made by LUXMO and is available on eBay.
I've bought a couple of these. Fits really well, though I don't know how thin it is compared to "gear4". But the mix of clear plastic and black TPU trim feels great.

I bought a smoke black argyl case off eBay for $5.99 and love it. Does not add much bulk at all and makes holdingnthe device slot better and also makes the buttons easier to push aswell.

Bought a case matte barely there, its perfect awesome case! no bluk slips in and out of my pockets with ease. very good choice.

Check out the cheap S-Line cases on eBay. I can't imagine a case getting much thinner than this. Plus, it's only ~$5-10, shipped. If you don't like it (yet to hear anybody not like it), then go get a more expensive one. But really, this is THE case to get if you want something different than the uber-protective cases.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1067656

i got the s case. its pretty sick. decent protection. only thing is sometimes stuff gets in the case and you can see it through the transparent part.

I have the S-Line and Seido Innocase II Surface Case. The S-line is nice for the money, but to me it feels cheap. There's also no real size difference in the 2. The Sedio case is harder to take off at first, but once you get used to it it's super easy. I love my Seido case, but I would be ok if I only had the S-Line.
Also, to me nothing feels better than the naked phone. I'm too afraid to scratch or drop it though.
Here's some picture comparisons

I had one like that for my fascinate. I think vzw is calling it a "fusion" case.

I have the case-mate barley there case. I love the thing. Does exactly what i want it to do, protect the phone from getting scratched and dinged up while in my pocket.

Dude... This case is perfect. Thanks for the heads up!
It added better grip and it feels like a better phone all around.

Best gel case/cover

I know of amzer and a few others but just looking for everyones general preference to see If I have missed any.
And for the record I don't like the argyle look. Takes away from the looks of mah future phone.
I ordered the Innocase from Seidio. I had one for my Mogul that I really liked: http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/4213.htm
It's harder than gel but has a soft finish that keeps it from slipping in your hand.
Ah , I see the seidio acces finally came online. Nice!
Too bad I'm not a real fan of their cases. : (
Although I do like the innocase's . Very nice but I hate not being able to try first. It says it doesn't add much in thickness but .....what a frickin pain this is.
Argh!

Its looks like these are kinda like the gel ones just made of plastic right? Pretty thin..I noticed you can get a clip for it also. Do you know without the clip there is nothing on the back of this case that adds bulk because of the missing belt clip is there?
thanks
Site says that it's 1mm think so that would be about as thin as you could hope for and still get some protection. The belt clip is actually a separate holster that the phone clips into. They have a set where you get the phone protector/case and the belt holster together. The holster is built to accommodate the slightly larger size when the EVO is in the case.
I´ve bought a frosted gel Hard Cover for my EVO 3D from HTC Addicted on Facebook .
It looks and feels great and is really resistant.
I got a discount because i like the Facebook page =)
I bought the cheaper of the two otterboxes. I have the more expensive, defender I believe its called, but it just made my phone too thick and it was hard to get out of my jeans. So I bought the one beneath it... can't remember name lol but I really really like it. Its half gel and half plastic providing enough protection while making it easy to remove from pocket. . I think its like 20$ on amazon

I highly recommend the trident kraken. It's thick and it may be hard to take out of your pockets if you're wearing jeans, but the protection is unmatched.
hai all,,
im in indonesia and its really hard to find softjacket or silicone for my evo,,can u advice to me where i can buy that stuff?
of course with the best price and free shipping if there from other country
thanx
I had a body glove case that was pretty nice, it was grippy enough to stay in my pocket when wanted and slick enough to come out when I grabbed it. It also had a nice warranty, like a year or so, and I used that a lot. The thing broke every month or so, but kept my EVO in tip top condition. Now I don't use a case though, I am close to my upgrade and trust the phone to hold up.
No case or screen protector here.. over 2 years and no issues..
just saying..

I believe youre talking about the commuter series I've had two of those and a body glove case the otterbox's broke within a week of having them the body glove even less. The defender series is great though definitely get that. I wouldn't normally use a screen protector but otterbox's is on a different level from cheaper ones it improves the touchability if thats a thing.

Truthfully verizons body glove case is best for non bulkyness.Very stable fits well .ect.
I like my body glove
Personally I have tried the Body Glove case and I like the Otter Box Commuter case a little better. The new Seidio Innocase Active is also a very nice case; a close second to the Otter Box.
Definitely otter box. Slim sturdy and stylish

one problem though it has to slide into my jeans. Most of these cases have rubber and dont slide
Throwing in a vote for the Body Glove case.. great fit with just enough bulk to give you that warm protected feeling

You should check out Techie Warehouse. If you go to the Covers & Skins area for the Droid X you'll find over 300 covers to choose from.
Best one I got laying around was not a Seidio, Otterbox or Trident... it was the Dual Layer Vertex Covers just google "techie warehouse vertex cover for droid x"
I quote from our product description about this product "The Motorola Droid X gets ultimate protection. A Screen Protector and two virtual walls of defense. The inner silicone core absorbs shock from bumps and drops. A hard polycarbonate exterior shell prevents cuts, scrapes, dings, and damage for the Motorola Droid X."
Let me know what you think of it.
i bought one of the 3 dollar black silicone ones off amazon. works fine for me..

I have had the Otterbox, Seidio, Innocase, Verizon, Kragen, but I didnt really like any of them. Iphone cases are so much more refined compared to these.
The Otterbox Seidio, and Kragen cases are too bulky, the Innocase looks good but broke on me, and the Verizon Kickstand Case was too cheaply made.
There is a guy from another forum thats making a phone case. It looks great but its not for sale yet, I am personally looking forward to it because he claims its easy to open and has a bunch of other features. It looks absolutely beautiful, so lets hope he can pull this off.
Right now Im using a cheap Ebay Silicone case, its not great either but it was only $2 and thats value for money. I also got a Smartphone Coaster, its a cheap bit of tin but it does the job for now.

Phantomskinz does have skins for the droid X.. Check the site again!
+1 For the Body Glove
I really enjoy my Body Glove, Although I've managed to wear out the snap on the lower left side by removing the case over time to do a battery pull and it no longer holds securely.
I have a Green Trident Kraken on order, due to arrive today actually assuming UPS will brave the icy roads, Good reviews on protection but they all admit to the sacrifice of sleekness.
The pliable verizon silicone case is nice and it fits with extended battery-Motorola and cover. You can find them for $10 online or eBay.
Check ebay item #250759993717
I bought a Sedieo Innocase Surface back in December it cracked in half in January. They are really nice looking, but if you ever have to do a battery pull or if you want to use your car dock, forget about getting it out of the damn case. It fits way to tight. So I am back to the ole Silicone case, which works fine, but sucks if you put it in your pocket, cause it sticks to cloth / jean material.
I'm on my 2nd Body Glove case.
Likes: Belt clip, rubber texture, light weight
Dislikes: Rubber texture deteriorates, weak tabs will not survive impact.
It has kept my DX from scratches but the tabs that snap it together break too easily. First was replaced under warranty. I think I will kick out the $ for an Otter.

Those cases with tabs that snap together aren't meant to be taken apart, after 4 or 5 times they will break. I created a case that opens easily, has no tiny tabs to break and has a multitude of other features.
I've also taken great care to make sure that the case is placed further away from the screen and buttons making it easy to touch the screen and press the buttons on the bottom.
There's space for the OEM extended battery, an extra micro SD card, and even an ID or credit card.
The case also functions as a stand and car mount, my case allows you to watch movies, make movies, capture photos, and use your phones GPS in your car with ease. These features not only work with the Motorola Droid X but with other cases, other phones, and even some other electronic devices such as digital cameras.
The case isn't any more expensive then other high quality cases either. Its 20 bucks and made from the same high strength plastic as other high end cases, so basically if your in the market for a case and other accessories you can pay for just the case and get the rest for free essentially.
If you think this case must be huge and weigh a lot you'd be surprised, its really a simple concept, its almost like a normal cellphone case but we've changed a the design a bit to allow it to function as an adjustable stand.
I can't post links yet so you'll have to google "Jawcase" to find more info, pics, and videos.
I like the Jawcase concept. Alot. I pledged. And good luck with getting your project off the ground Heather. Hope it gets funded.
I've gone through 3 body gloves now with my 4th's clips are broken yet again....
I think its a bit ridiculous that I cant take my phone case off because the clips can't stand it.
I need to find a new case, and I'm thinking of just going with one of the hard-ish silicone cases. The body glove looks great when you buy it, but the rubber wears away like no tomorrow and the clips are destroyed after a couple battery pulls. I had one for my enV touch and it lasted the entire lifespan of the phone with minor tears and such. My droid x's can't last anymore than maybe a month. Don't get me wrong, the body gloves are wonderful, but I'm clearly not having a good experience with it or maybe I'm not handling it properly
+1 for the body glove case. I havent had any issues with the tabs, but i always open it at the bottom with a coin.

Shoot...I was pretty much sold on the Innocase Surface case, was gonna order one in the next few days. I've tried the cheap TPU case, the cheap 2-piece snap together case, maybe I'll try the Verizon silicon one instead of the Innocase.

Case-Mate Tough is the #1 EVO case

I have finally found my love . The Case-Mate Tough case is hands down my favorite so far. The cases I have tried already, are;
- Body Glove case I bought the same time I picked up the EVO in the Summer, it looked so bad ass Sci/Fi cool in the box, but we all know this case blows, it cracks way too easy, and the plastic feel is not comfortable against face and too slippery, this case sucks.
- Otterbox - Commuter, I thought the quality was pretty good, but it was a very bulky and heavy case, and the back plastic not a good feel for holding the phone, too slick. The kickstand access is too tight, and phone wobbles when using it. Overall not impressed with the Commuter.
- Otterbox - Impact, my Brother has this case, and it feels great in the hand, and looks pretty good too, but can get a little lose around the sides of the phone, and is bulky. But I like this case #2, it feels good, and looks good, just a tad too thick.
- Case-Mate Tough, this is it baby This is easily, the best case of the ones I have tried. I was surprised at the slimness of this case for it being it a 2pc protection case, it is thinner than the Commuter + Impact, and my God the feel of the case is just perfect, I couldn't let go of the phone last night, it just feels so good in the hand, not slippery at all, but not too sticky either, just right. And it looks very professional, and just perfect. And great kickstand access. This case will really protect your phone well, but also look great, feel great, and is not crazy bulky/thick like other protection cases. Highly recommended.
Well based on your review im gonna pick one up since sedio will not rma my active case even though they re designed it, buncha assholes
so if it sucks im comming after you!

Here you go ...
Reviews, photos, even a video. I've had this case for a couple of months, and it is as good as the OP stated. I also had the Seidio "Active" case, which began to come apart in just a few weeks, and tried the Otterbox "Impact", which is a lint magnet. The Tough Case is a keeper.

Thanks for the link, I forgot to post those official pictures.
The best thing about this case, is the feel. It just fits in the hand so nicely, and just feels great.
Yeah it is one of those "thicker" cases, but with the protection it delivers, it is one of the thinnest of the thick cases, if that makes sense. Meaning the Otterbox and other dual layer heavy duty cases, this is the slimmest in that category.
Now if you want, super model, waif thin, Case-Mate also makes a really pretty case, the "Barely There Case", I plan to buy this too, and just use on the weekends, or when going out to dinner or black tie event

I have one of the "Barely There" cases as well, and you are right ... it is very elegant ... really feels like there isn't a case on at all. It covers the back (especially the camera lens) and all four corners ... and is very nice for those who keep there phone in their pocket.

My first Active case had the outer layer peeling so I RMA'd it and they sent me a replacement one which was much much better than the original one I had, even the silicone part was better. Less prone to picking up dust. Though for the price I probably would've just gotten the Tough case especially since it's only 20 bones on newegg... but I don't believe it was out when I ordered the Seidio one... =T
Having this Tough case most of the week now I am in love Mainly due to the feel in hand, this case has the best materials for holding the phone comfortably, it just sits in your hand perfectly with not being too slippery nor too rubber sticky, it is just right. I can't put the phone down it is too sexy with this case.
here is 21 and some change

I had the Otterbox Commuter for a week, was not happy with it, it felt too plasticy, and slick, and was very thick/bulging case. I went into to Sprint store to check on some stuff, and the guy there had the Case Mate Tough on his EVO, I was like, wow that is cool looking, and looked to be a bit thinner than my Otterbox.
Bought it on the spot, and wow instant love, the feel of the case it what gets me, it just feels soooooo nice in your hand, and the back has a cool design, and the best kickstand cutout of any case I have seen. The Otterbox will never be back on my phone.

I agree, it does, but it feels so nice in the hand, and offer great protection. I wish the case was thinner, but that would be impossible with the nice cushion it has.
What case do you like ?
I don't like the camera area on the case mate, ill stick with the commuter aka best evo case on the market
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Has anyone else tried this awesome case out yet ?
Well I had the sedio active (now named the active X)
I ordered the new sedio active x (hybrid) from here on reffered to as "the x" and the case mate from here on reffered to as the "CM"
Ill tell you this they are damn near identical. They both have a rubbery type feel to the plastic piece that wraps around the silicon case. There is no actual plastic that touches your phone its silicon with a plastic over wrap. The cm has more texure to its plastic outer shell than the X
They fit the phone about the same the volume and power I think are easier to hit on the x vs the cm
the pricing is about the same but the cm comes with a static type screen protector, cloth and application card. The x comes with nothing.
The x comes in a myriad of colors and holsters are availaible. the cm comes in two colors and there does not appear to be any type of holster availaible, however the cases are so close Id bet to say the sedio one would fit
cm offers a 90 day warranty (3 month)
x offers a 180 day warranty (6 month)
sedio generally has pretty good customer service (except in my case)
case-mate had been in business a zillion years
I think with everything being as it is, I have to say Id prolly go with the x
its not that the cm isnt a great case because it is, im going simply based off the accessory options and the warranty.
however with that being said....I should go with the cm because im mad at sedio now.

Seido Surface vs Otterbox Commuter

So, I've been using Innocases for awhile. On my iPhone 3g and Samsung Vibrant.
I've constantly been tempted to purchase an Otterbox for the protection purposes and some of them seem to have nice styling as well, but I love the texture and feel of the Seido cases.
I was just wanting to get some opinions on both cases. I know it always comes down to personal preference, but wanted to hear the thoughts of others before dropping $25 on one or the other.
I love my Commuter. I like it even more than the Commuters on my iPad & Captivate. The 'X' design on the back sets it off.
I prefer the Commuter case as well. It really is the best case for money, style, and protection.
What is the case texture like? I only ask because I always keep my phone in my pocket and don't care for rubber cases that cling too much.
Sent from my Vibrant using my fingers.
Seido Surface without a doubt. Offers amazing protection, doesn't add bulk, stays tight, and even has a nice feel and look to it.
I love my commuter case I just got today. It tends to catch a little lint but I can already see that getting less and less. very happy with my purchase.

the Commuter case will NEVER cling to your pocket insides because the back has that hardshell along with some on the side too so the silicone won't ever cause contact problems with pockets, satchels, pouches, etc.
I certainly appreciate all of the input. Definitely a Commuter case supporting group. I'll have to see if I can find one somewhere to check it out since I know how much I like the Seidio already.

The perfect compromise of a small case and great protection?

Alright guys, I need your opinions and recommendations. What are your opinions on a case that maintains a small and reasonable form factor while providing great protection, far beyond other cases of a similar size. Basically what case do you think is the perfect compromise of size and durability? I'm sure that a thread like this will help more people than
Please share your opinions, personal experiences, or recommendations, or just anything that you have to offer.
I am in the same boat. Want minimal bulk, minimalist styling and some protection. I'm usually OK with just scratch protection, i.e. those < 1mm thin snap on covers but am willing to go a little thicker
I like the Rock shell cases, the Incipio Feather, and the Spigen Air cases. Something slightly more substantial or even the same would be nice it it wrapped around the top and bottom of the phone as well.
Give this one a try guys - I use this case on my last 3 Android Devices and absolutely LOVE it!

a few cases that I have considered...
I'll start by offering a few cases that I have considered purchasing, and that I can't decide between.
Otterbox Commuter Case:
http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Commuter-Series/SAM4-GALAXY-S3,default,pd.html
It seems like this case offers great protection, but I've heard that it has issues with being very slippery, difficult to press buttons, and might be a bit bulkier than cases offering similar protection.
Trident Aegis:
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-pro...00/aegis-case-samsung-galaxy-s-iii-i9300.aspx
This case seems to offer similar protection to the Otterbox Commuter, but at a size that is easier to hold and fit in your pocket. This might be a keeper...
Incipio Silicrylic DualPro Shine:
http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...-SHINE-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core.asp
I just saw this case today online for the very first time. It looks amazing. It may offer slightly less protection than an Otterbox Commuter, but it looks much more pocketable, and easier to hold. It also looks like it might leave enough room to attach a Spigen Steinheil GLAS screen protector, something that I'm pretty sure can also be done with the Otterbox Commuter.
Spigen Neo Hybrid:
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...g-galaxy-s3-case-neo-hybrid-color-series.html
Everytime I see this case I practically drool over how attractive it is. It looks very easy to hold, and is extremely sleek and sexy looking. Of course, it doesn't offer nearly the amount of protection as the Trident Aegis or Otterbox Commuter, but it might still offer enough protection. Opinions?

This case seems to offer similar protection to the Otterbox Commuter, but at a size that is easier to hold and fit in your pocket. This might be a keeper...

I just saw this case today online for the very first time. It looks amazing. It may offer slightly less protection than an Otterbox Commuter, but it looks much more pocketable, and easier to hold. It also looks like it might leave enough room to attach a Spigen Steinheil GLAS screen protector, something that I'm pretty sure can also be done with the Otterbox Commuter.
Spigen Neo Hybrid:

Everytime I see this case I practically drool over how attractive it is. It looks very easy to hold, and is extremely sleek and sexy looking. Of course, it doesn't offer nearly the amount of protection as the Trident Aegis or Otterbox Commuter, but it might still offer enough protection. Opinions?

I've tried all these cases, and in all honesty - the Seidio Active Case beats them all hands down! No Contest! http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-active-ks-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hk3ssgs3k-bk.htm <--- I highly recommend this !

Would you happen to have any other pictures of that case, preferably with the phone in it? There are only two pictures on the website, can't really see very much of it.

I can try to get some pics- my GS3 is the only camera I've got atm though lol - hard to take a pic of the phone in its case hehe. I'll search my house and see if i cant find my long lost digi camera - no promises there!
I've got the black Active case (no kickstand) and I love it. It doesn't slip, very grippy, still easy to pocket, also has a holster that is actually quite nicely built. The active is a slim case, that still protects the corners, top, and bottom. I've had this case for almost 2 months now and its been awesome. Its easy to remove and put back on. I'm getting ready to buy the Active case with the kickstand soon...
If you just want scratch protection and slim fit goto eBay or amazon and search for mercury. I've switched to my otterbox commuter for a week but came back to my mercury. Otterbox is good for drop protection but I only worry about that if I'm hiking and taking pictures so Ill swItch when I need to.

So, I just realized that the link you provided was to a combo deal for the Active w/kickstand case and a holster. I found the link to just the case without the holster. Many more pictures of the phone + case. Looks great, it just might be the perfect combo.

You'll love that case!! No question about it
Theres the Ballistic Life Style (or LS)
http://www.goballisticcase.com/products/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-ballistic-life-style-smooth-series-case
I think it looks the best, but I have not seen any reviews on it.
They got a video of their iphone LS being dropped

Body Glove drop suit looks nice too (A forum member has a picture of it in the pictures of your case thread)

I love all seidio cases but my absolute favorite will be the surface with holster. Yeah, it won't give you as much protection as the "active" but it adds the protection you need - or looking for.
Now that I mentioned the above, knock on wood***, should i happen to drop my phone let there be nothing wrong
I like the D3o cases that T-Mobile sells. I had a Ringke Slim case but that offered crappy drop protection. I've since bought the D3o case and it seems to offer much better protection while still keeping a similar form factor.
