i just got this case in the mail today and it is very pocket friendly
i had a red silicone case before and id always have to worm my phone in my pocket
here are some pictures of it

I assume this is a two-piece case (hard to tell from the pics)?
A little thick for my taste, but it look pretty well made.

yes sir it is a two piece snap-on case

I just got it too, I like it better than the Jelly ones that always get stuck in my pocket.

I had similar with my previous phones, and that's a bit too thick for my liking, but this is typical for all 2 piece snap on type.
I like the Body Glove 2 piece design, has a little more flare to it.

I just got this one too and I agree it is much better and easier to pull out of your pocket than a gel or silicone case without adding too much bulk. And yes it is a 2 piece snap on.

I got this case too but got the orange one. I like it. I dont know why people are complaining about the bulk. It really doesnt add that much bulk. I would say with the case, Its about the thickness of a iPhone/Nexus.

this gets my vote too. adds grip but not sticky like the silicone cases. has a snug fit and comes at a very nice price. seems`well made and the joint when you snap on the`two pieces fit very nively with no protruding edges. liking it so far.

I have one of these cases, bad design. Looks and feels cheap. Well I mean it is... so... yea.
It hinders easy access to the notification bar. I know, I know it can be worked around, but **** that, it doesn't need to go near as far as it does down. I have a body glove black case with detachable belt clip / kickstand. It serves its purpose pretty well. I am also heavily anticipating the release of the SGP Ultra Slider.

[Q] Best thin case for Captivate

What is the best thinnest case for the samsung captivate!

Don't know what your parameter for "thin" is but I found the TPU cases from ebay to be the best. I had tried a BodyGlove case and a generic silicone case but found them too thick (the silicone case looked ugly too IMO - dull & attracted too much lint). The TPU case I got from ebay has been great - glossy yet grippy. Adds about a mm top & bottom.

I have tried three different cases and found that thr "Body Glove" seems to be the one I end up using the most. It is very thin, tight fitting and feels good while holding the phone. There are really several good choices around. This is of course IMHO.

i use the bodyglove case with the diagonal lines on the back. my brother uses the sedio one that snaps in 2 and has the smooth body. the body glove is a little thinner and looks more stylish. both are around 15-20 dollars. i prefer the body glove one because of the back actually, just adds a little touch to an otherwise plain looking phone. both are nice because they dont pick up dust and lint like the cheapo 2 dollar ones. you can tell quality by the seams of the rubber and smell. you get what you pay for. if your phone is worth 400, why spend 2 dollars on a case right?

How much protection are you wanting exactly?

Just picked up the Body Glove yesterday. Really like it, doesn't collect dust and very thin. Good fit also.

Cheap, looks good (can't really see the pattern except at a certain angle), protects great, and is the thinnest protective case I've seen.

Check these out. They are not as sticky as regular silicone skins and they are fairly thin + cheap.

Body Glove is pretty darn thin. I have one but I replaced it with the Otterbox Commuter, just to change things up. Commuter is a bit thicker but I don't mind it at all so I am sticking with it. I do recommend the Body Glove though. Good sleeve.

Plus one for body glove.
Its perfect. Smooth enough that it comes out of pocket easy, but grippy enuff that I can throw it on dashboard without it flying off with the first turn I make.
I also think it looks great, fits perfectly, and I can hold the phone without dropping it-which is the reason I wanted it in the first place

are you looking for a hard case or skin? body glove or a tpu skin is your best bet for the thinnest protection but if you want a hard case then check out Seidio innocase surface

I just got a Xmatrix case (I think its a knock off as its not rubberized anywhere) but the fit is great and gives you a near naked feel. Covers the back and adds a bit to the front edge so the screen does not touch a flat surface if you lay it face down.

Looks just like a TPU case which if you don't mind having a not as fancy case you can get the Amzer one on amazon for $5 shipped and the knockoff ones on ebay for about $3-4 shipped. But the case you linked to is one very nice looking case.

All nice looking cases. I may have to try the TPU out. Looks nice.

That Amzer case does it's job very well. It protects, looks good, thin and is subtle in a good way. The fact that it is now ~$6.00 makes it an absolute steal. I usually don't buy cheap stuff for my phone (or for anything for that matter) but this case performs like a $20 case.
Only issue I have with it is that mine seem to be less snug than it was when I first got it. I only take off my case when I have to do a battery pull so it's a bit surprising that it got loose so easily. I recently bought a Otterbox Commuter to replace this case because I was getting bored with it but I wouldn't say I changed because it was necessary; it was just cause I was bored and I found a good deal for it.

+1 for the xmatrix case. It's a hard case but very slim and is a good fit without any movement or shuffling. Plus, there is a minor lip on the front so you can rest it face down.
It snaps on in the back...just one piece.

Body glove for sure best slim streamline case

Seido Surface vs Incipio Feather

I currently have the Feather and love how it keeps the phone's slim profile while staying Rigid. From what I've read these cases seem to be similar, with the Feather not covering the top and the bottom, and the Surface being a two piece that snaps together. Does anyone own both of these cases and/or knows if the Surface is either thicker or the same thickness of the Feather?
I've tried the Ringke(best silicone case I've seen) and the ruggedized Moto battery cover and they helped me remember why I don't like soft cases...mainly because of the lip moving around when you take it out of your pocket every one in awhile. I also have a TPU case and that is probably the best soft case.

I have both cases. I went with the Seido case for day to day use.
Yes the Seido case adds some bulk over the Incipio, but I thought the trade off was worth it.
Both have the rubberized feel for extra grip, but without the super extra grip of the silicone or full rubber cases. The Seido slide on/off design means not have to "snap" or "pry" the case off when I need to get to the SD Card or Battery. The Incipio feather created "edges" which I just didn't like the feel of at the top and bottom of the phone.

I agree ^ I also have both, and even though the surface does add a little bit more bulk/ thickness, it does provide more coverage therefore protection. And just an fyi, the surface doesn't fit any dock I've tried it in even with the case insert removed... Which does suck, but its very easy to take off once you get used to it.

Seidio all the way man. I dropped my phone once and it got scratched on the sides where the Incipio wasn't protecting. what's the point of even having a case if it barely protects it?

A lot of people, myself included, don't look for a case to protect the phone against impact, but simply to protect it from the day to day wear and tear of pulling it in and out of pockets or getting scratched by keys or some loose change.
-Doogs™

Do any of you use the Surface with the holster? Right now, I am leaning towards that instead of the Otterbox, but I'd like to know that the holster holds the phone securely before I spend the $50.00.
Thanks in advance.

considering the only part of the phone that the feather doesn't cover is the flimsy cheap plastic battery cover, i don't see the problem. i got the feather to protect the metal sides, which it does.
seidio makes great cases but it's just too bulky for my liking.

Thanks guys for the reviews and comparisons. I was on the verge of picking up the Seidio Surface, but after the news of the leaked HTC Holiday specs, I think I am going to curb my spending on any future Atrix accessories.

Hey buddy, just answering your question, I own both Surface and Active from Siedo and both of them are just amazing. For daily use Active is the option and fix perfect in the hd dock once you remove the main base cover of it and for the Surface, very slim and fancy. Both holsters hold the device extremelly well!
Hope it help, greetings!

I can't decide... (yep another case thread)

I wanted a as slim as possible case and I wanted it to protect all the way around the perimeter of the phone. Here are the choices (in order from first to last), help me decide.
Rearth Ringke Slim - At $28 it's a bit expensive and it doesn't cover the sides. Also looks to be less grippy since it's hard smooth plastic.
BoxWave Blackout - I'm worried it's thicker than a case like the Rearth, but with that said it protects all around and is really cheap at $12. I think the material is more rubber like which sounds more appealing to a gloss hard case. Not many reviews anywhere for this case.
elago G4elago G4 - I'm not sure about this case in general.
Thanks for your input.

Personally I like the Leather style flip cases, The one that doubles up as a wallet.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-WAL..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3374db7913
I would never pay more than £10 (delivered) for a case.

in terms of slimness i've basically narrowed it down to two giants.
1. sgp ultra thin
2. casemate barely there.
not sure which ones better but from what i can tell they're pretty much the same, both at a hefty 25 bucks.
anyways, i'm in the same boat as you. XD
not sure which case to get.

I have the rearth and it is very slim, the only down side it is a beeeoootch to take off (i have a dock/charger for the phone) and if you take it on and off a lot it cracks and the part closet to the usb port cover, nothing earth shattering it actually makes it much easier to take the case off - that and the sgp ultra clear and it is almost like having nothing on the phone at all.

I have used diztronic cases for the last year (for my SII and now my N7000). They are very similar to the boxweave case you posted.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...0386413&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+note
As you know TPU protects like a silicon case but doesn't stick in your pocket or collect lint and dust due to it not being "sticky" feeling. I recently sold my SII for over $300 after 8 months of daily use because my SII was in perfect condition as a result of being in a diztronic tpu case. No, I never dropped the phone on cement or anything but I dropped my SII on the carpet from 5+ feet and the phone was unchanged when I picked it up. Didn't pop out of case or battery, etc. Because the tpu cases have a 1/8 or so "lip" on the front they also allow the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. IMHO and experience, a good tpu case is all you need to fully protect your phone unless you work in construction or somehow expect to drop it on cement.
So, my vote goes to the boxweave or diztronic cases. BTW I got 2 diztronics for $14 from amazon, the black matte and smoke matte. Great deal!

^I'm actually thinking of getting a real cheap TPU case like that I can mod. My ideal case is a TPU Bumper, maybe the Boxwave Black out without the back part but have the vol and power buttons cut out. I guess it's just not feasible so far... ?
Anyway, Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.

first post here,
I have one of these.
search amazon for bumper cases.
I'm not allowed to post urls.
I like it, I have it on right now. What I have is different from what's
in the pictures. No cutouts for the buttons and the other cutouts are not
as big. The covers of the buttons are pretty sensitive, unlike the covers
for the Boxwave type which I got from Hongkong for 2 bucks.
Check amazon out, they have a lot of cases.
I also have the elago Breathe case, I love them I have two.

I ended up taking my chances on this. I guess it's going to be as close as I get. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

Hi all, I'm in a similar dilemma.
I've got a choice between these two:

and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-SI...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416682f7b6
I know I should pick the Zenus, but would the inside bit that holds my phone scratch the outer bezel? And since the hybrid one has a silicon case THEN a hard outer shell I figured it would be good too. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I use a an SGP Ultra thin. Comfortable case. Considering the size of the phone the case is great. Merges with the Phone. +1 anytime.

I ordered this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160732471512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It has a stand that works in both axis.

Cruzerlite VS Diztronic REVIEW

I ordered myself the matte black tpu from Diztronic.

kch ugh
Nice quick review!
I gave both of these cases a fair go. Both of them I ran with for a week. I've decided to stick with my Diztronic TPU. Honestly. both cases are great.
Both cases are easy the slip in and out of pocket. Although slightly thicker, the Cruzerlite is still very slim. Does feel like it would offer a bit more protection in a fall. Since I have never dropped a phone my deciding factor, which might seem stupid to some people, is that the clear Cruzerlite case would get dust buildup from pocket lint and you'd visually be able to see it at the edges of the case. That can easily be fixed by purchasing a non-transparent Cruzerlite case.
The Diztronic case, my only problem with is most of the case fairly slick. What gives me a good grip on the phone is the rim of the case where you put the phone through. It's a different plastic finish from the rest of the case which is much easier to grip with your fingers. I kind of prefer it that way.
Just my opinion on these two.

Agreed. I think this cases are so similar but so different at the same time. Best part is that buying one of each won't hurt your pocket at all

I'll add my 2 cents even though I can't do an apples to apples comparison. I was never a fan of protective cases, I never used them with my Samsung Fascinate in the 2 years that it was my primary device. That was until the screen broke on my 3 month old SGS3.
While Samsung was repairing my phone, I did some research and decided on a Diztronic matte dark blue case. It's a great quality product. The TPU material is thin but pretty stiff and the fit on the phone is tight, removing the case causes the battery cover to get unsnapped 90% of the time. The cutouts are perfectly positioned (although I would actually prefer covered lock/power and volume buttons, read on). The matte finish actually makes the cover a little more slippery both in hand and when sitting on other surfaces, but I perfer the way the case looks. Also the case has a solid company behind it, when my case arrived, I noticed it the color was actually back and not dark blue. I emailed customer service at Diztronic and they let me know that their latest batch of dark blue covers were in fact darker than earlier batches. They sent me one from an earlier batch at no cost.
In the meantime, I acquired a CruzerLite gloss black case for my Fascinate. The TPU material is a little bit thicker and more flexible than the Diztronic. The case also fit looser than the Diztronic although there is no risk that the cover will fall off when being removed from a pocket like silicon cases. The lock/power and volume buttons are covered (raised and appears to be the same thickness as the rest of the case), but I had no issue using them. The cutouts are in the right places, but there is an extra cutout on the case on the side that does seem to have any reason for being there (maybe another phone shaped like the Fascinate has a use for it). The gloss finish is pretty sticky, especially when the phone is sitting on something smooth. I had no concerns leaving the phone sitting on the leather passenger seat in my car when driving. I would rate this case one step below Diztronic in terms of overall quailty, but will keep on using it as my Fascinate is now being used as a game system for my kids.
I also wound up buying a no-name TPU case (from Amazon) for a Pantech Burst I recently bought (from eBay). While the overall quality of the case leaves something to be desired compared to either the Diztronic or CruzerLite, it does have one feature I wish both the Diztronic and CruzerLite cases had. The lock/power and volume button on the case is covered, but the material in those locations is both raised and significantly thinner than the rest of the cover. IMHO this is the way to go for these buttons.
Hope this helps folks figure out which case to get.

I just got the Diztronic yesterday and I am quite pleased. Nice fit, nice feel, nice look. I even used the screen protector that came with it and it's not half bad.

Just dropping my 2 cents. The diztronic for the matte/clear model.. it gets rather dirty easily so if you happen to get your hands dirty regularly and need to use the phone. Just know the clear will start to change color.

Agree with this 100%. I used the case for 3 months then threw it away cause it got so dirty and ugly.
