Hi Guys,
Taking a look at the Rearth Ringke for the Galaxy S II, a high-quality silicone (don't let the material fool you) case that wraps around your device nicely and features an AWESOME coating that prevents dust, fingerprints and dirt.
Watch the full review below:
not a fan of silicone even if the quality is epic lol.

Haha, understandable, although I do think one needs to feel the material in person to judge it - it really is NOTHING like standard silicone.
Have this in the smoky black, really nice case.

If you end up buying it, let me know how you like it! It really is a good everyday case that provides everything you need except it falls short on protection.
ploone..sorry to post again but can i ask the videos that are coming soon?
It's a great slim-line case. I just wish the side lips that come over the screen were a little more ridgid; I think they come off too easily at the moment. (But I'm very picky).
Thanks for the review.
why does it look EXACTLY like the SGP silicone case (which is superb)?

If you're talking about the Ultra Silke, there is only so much a manufacturer can change on a silicone case, both have perfect cutouts. The materials are different, while they are both coated with polymers, the Ringke is smooth and grainy where as the Ultra Silke is flatter and has no real texture.
The front of the cases are different as well - the Ringke has cutouts for the home button and front facing camera, Ultra Silke does not.

relax dude. I'm not hating. I just had a closer look and I saw the differences.
I'm just curious though, how can the Ringke be smooth yet grainy at the same time? I find the problem with Silicone skins to be the fact that they're rather rough-ish and feel sorta powdery.
I change batteries frequently and I need a skin that won't expand with repeated "extractions" lol.
Sorry If I sounded angry, I wasn't at all haha. The texture itself is very unique, not powdery/sticky at all.
It's ultra smooth but you can feel a 'matte' texture, similar to that of an anti fingerprint screenshield, which is grainy but smooth.
As for daily usage, I do believe if you are careful not to stretch excessively, you should be fine.

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on SGP's new Ultra Thin air case. This is a standard snap back case that differentiates from most by being the thinnest I've seen around, it is RAZOR thin. This leads to an almost naked feel, adds very little bulk and weight but at the same time it won't protect much. It features a UV crystal coated backing which has smooth & comfortable feel. The case comes included with an Ultra Nano Clear screenshield, so it is good value for money too.

I can't say I see the point. It's decorative, but not really functional. This won't protect anything.

Yeah - as I mentioned this only protects from scratches so if you need drop protection, avoid this. For light users or if you want something very slim, this is a good option.

If only it covered the top and bottom and had a slight lip on it, it would be great for me.
I love SGP but that made by sgp on the side is taking the branding too far.
I ordered the SGP Modello which looks quite nice. We will see how it turns out.

Some people seem to think so, it doesn't bother me too much to be honest. The Modello looks cool, I'd love to hear what you think of it.
nice video mate...i prefer my 5$ ebay case because i am cheap,ha ha but not a bad case

Looks nice and everything but no screen protection lip is a bit of a let down especially at this price.
Nillkin/Rock style cases offer better grip and protection and are cheaper.

A lot of people are mentioning that case, I should probably try and get it in for review. Looks like a pretty decent case.
Just received mine. Loving how thin this thing is while covering all the corners. The slight lip for the screen is better than expected.
GS3 Baby!!!
I'm currently using an Elago Breathe case and I absolutely love the way it feels and how thin it is but it doesn't cover the entire bezel of the phones, leaving tthe top and bottom bezel unprotected. So does anyone know a good slim case that covers the whole bezel?

If clear is your thing, this case is really nice.

It's so slim. Can't imagine it's much protection. It has a nice feel to it as well and it's got a good fit. No real front lip, so doesn't protect your phone if you put it face down.
If you have the pebble blue phone, they make one with a blueish tint too.

I have that exact case on my pebble blue and can confirm the no face down protection. I think it looks smart in my opinion better than the only other option which is a lightish blue .Someone else has it on this forum as well and has posted pictures so if you're interested have a search and I'm sure it will show up.

Go with an SGP Modello or Capdase case.
I have the SGP Modello. It's a nice case. Not as thin as a Case Mate Barely There (as an example), but still quite thin and covers everything. Good fit. Not much grip, which I like, but not everyone does.

Rocketfish Snap-On is is a bit thicker than what you have now, but not very bulky at all, and covers the bezel. The gray goes well with the pebble blue.

Just remembered I have bad experiences with SGP cases. They have a tendency of fading out/losing/changing colors. I instead decided to go with this generic one

I have the one in blue. Its an OK case. I actually put it on and took it right off. Its a bit too slippery for me.
Tpu cases work very well. Has good overall protection. Doesn't protect your screen from shattering but it will protect it when you put your phone face down.
Basically just what the title asks. Can anyone point me to the slimmest case available that offers some protection for the camera? Thanks in advance.

I am using the Spigen one. I think it is the slimmest that still protects for the camera bump.

I went through quite a few cases and ended up purchasing the Nillikin case and absolutely love it. I needed a case with added grip and some camera protection.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MAZLX5R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_B-poybKTP18S5
It does not protect the top and bottom like many snap on cases but is thin and has a raised area around the camera. I'd be comfortable laying the phone on a flat surface now. I have the spigen rugged armor which is thicker and protects the entire phone.

Looks sweet. Thanks.
Can't comment on Nillkin or Spigen cases, never had them. I went Ringke Fusion on the LG G4 and have never looked back. Received my v20 case today (clear/smoke) and put it on. It's VERY marginally recessed compared to where the camera bump is. Is perfectly flat/balanced on an even surface, so you can operate the phone one-handed on the desk if you need to.
My recommendation is to leave the plastic film on the back of the phone where the camera is, any protection you can give it without affecting photo quality will help. I just need a good screen protector now...
Hope that helps.

Nillkin also makes one that is a TPU case. I had it on my N6P & it was really nice. I opted for the Encased this time because I wanted a hard case, TPU never keeps it's full shape after a while..
Spigen... very nice case
Spigen rugged armor.. it's thin, nice looking and protects all that is needed
http://www.spigen.com/collections/lg/products/rugged-armor-lg-v20-case
I tried the Spigen Liquid Crystal Case and it is the most minimalist but doesn't have enough protection in my opinion.
I ended up returning it not for that reason, but due to the "yellow" tone of the case itself...I contacted Spigen and they are looking into replacements.
I purchased the Ringke [Fusion] Clear PC Back TPU Bumper in Smoked Black...perfect fit and better protection that looks great with the Titan V20.

If you want something with protection while being slim, I'd suggest the UAG LG V20 Plasma Feather-Light Rugged. Been using it since I got my V20 and it's slim and light with plenty of grip, originally I thought that it'll be big and bulky like the OtterBox cases but it's slim enough and knowing it's UAG you don't really have to worry about protection. Even tho it's pricy it's worth it.
You can consider using the Verus crystal bumber case, this and others like spigen to name a few are your only option, just keep the protection film on for added protection, for me I also added a tempered glass protector for both camera lens without any affect what so ever.

I ended up buying this case. It arrived today and my search is now over. There's simply no way a V20 case could be slimmer than the Nillikin while still offering camera protection. It's awesome. EXACTLY what I was looking for, so thank you!
The top and bottom are protected well enough with the lip extensions on each end.
I bought this off aliexpress, and it's pretty great. perfect fit and some improvement in grip.
http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=6497&page=1
downside is, it's glossy and quite the fingerprint magnet especially in a humid country like SG, and the alignment is slightly off for the fingerprint/home button.
otherwise, the port covers are awesome and it'll definitely prevent the lint buildup.
looking to get a tempered glass next.
also, for SG sets, it comes with a promotional pack of 3 back protectors and 2 iRing and a screen protector. will upload pictures soon!

I agree, one of the thinniest case around with the best protection, the case has a built in dust cap for both the charging port and headphone socket.

Actually it was you who I quoted, but I though you went for the tpu one by nillkin, not the hard case, so yes, it was a mistake on my part.

Please recommend some protective accessories for OP3T. I took a look on what is trending but i saw different opinions about it.
My choice until now are Rhino Shield products.

I received a Rhinoshield bumper case for review which I only got today, so I won't post my review on xda for a tad bit after some usage.
But it ripped the top of my dbrand skin, kinda hard to put on. It's lightweight which is nice, but it feels really weird on the sides and wiggles a bit more down the left and right side after it was such a pain and a tight fit to get on.
I'm sure it will protect the device really well, but I don't like the build feel of it. Quality like I said.. as good as they say, but it feels a tad bit cheap and I don't like the wiggle.

I'm not 100% sure but if you want one that covers 90% of the screen and has the adhesive on the entire screen and not just the sides, the tempered glass FULL curved one from the official OnePlus website is the only decent one
best one I've tried so far (and I've tried a few) is the Orzly
https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Pr...id=1491429410&sr=8-3&keywords=Orzly+oneplus+3.
For the bumper I'm quite happy with the Spigen Rugged Harmor:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Sp...=1491429636&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+oneplus+3t
So far, like the previous reply, my best experience has been with the orzly tgsp. And both the spigen rugged armor and neo hybrid provide great protection. Plus the orzly fits well with both of those cases. Idky the orzly gets so much hate from people. I only see the dot matrix and any reflectiveness when the screen is off and sitting on my table
Another vote for the Spigen rugged armor case and one for the Diztronic, both slim cases with good matte finish and feel. The Spigen fits tighter though.
