amCase Ultra Slim-Fit Case Review + Pictures

amCase Ultra Slim-Fit Case
There has been a lot of slim cases like the Rearth Ringke slim, spigen and others. The amCASE ultra slim is a bit different than the others.
First, its thin alright. Fits well and not much wiggle room when in the case. The back has a nice soft matte grip finish, No corner was sharp but a nice smooth rounding on all sides/corners. There is some lift ont he bezel around the phone so it lifts the phone just a bit to prevent scraching the glass on the front when setting it face down on a table.
The amCase differes in that there is no bezel by the buttons on the phone. While it makes it have even less protection than other slim cases; it makes it a lot easier to take it off and on. The Rearth slim I have has just a good fit but the buttons would always get caught when taking it off or on.
It doesn't add much protection on the bottom or sides which is nice to have complete free access to all the ports/seakers.
This is definitely not a case if you're clumsy with your phone but there to prevent the small drops or scratches. Very minimalistic and good construction witht he added bonus of the easiest to take on and off of the phone than other slim cases

This is my kind of case. I presently have the rearth slim. It's the only case for me, so far. This looks like a great option for those of us who like the more professional look vs the bling, bulky, rubber, two piece, colored type cases. I'll have to try one. Is the logo (boo hiss btw) raised or etched in any way or is it just printed?
Nexus5

almost bought this case, but reviewers had issues with the matte finish coming off after a week.
Please update your review after couple weeks on the fit and finish.
thanks

just printed on. I'm sure it'll start rubbing off soon enough

I only used the amcase on my nexus 4. The first one I had was amazing. The second started peeling almost immediately.
I just received my new one for the nexus 5. It has a slippery soft feel that is really disappointing.

This guy has a video review of it and shows the case peeling pretty badly at all 4 corners.

[REQ] Spigen Neo Hybrid Case "After a while review"

Hi im looking to decide between the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Spigen rugged armor. I have read many reviews but none of them seems legit, so any user who have any of these cases please confirm this for me:
SPIGEN NEO HYBRID:
1. Does the sides of the plastic bumper tuns yellow after a while of use like a month or two? and if it does looses its color can i buy the bumper separately?
2. Does it provide better protection on drops as compared to the rugged armor?
SPIGEN RUGGED ARMOR:
1. Is the case too slippery?
2. How is the drop protection on this case?
I'm looking for protection over looks so please help me make a valid choice, and if you think that both the cases sucks feel free to suggest me the one you prefer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have the Spigen Rugged Armor, this case is good looking if you don't mind that the OnePlus logo is hidden with this case. This case also have a good grip and good drop protection.
I once dropped my 3T while using this case with the screen facing down the concrete. Fortunately, this case protected my screen from shatter. I recommended you get this case if you spend majority of your work outside office. Better safe than sorry.

I bought the Rugged Armor and I have to say I'm really impressed. It's thin, feels great and definitely isn't too slippery. The carbon fiber looks good too. The only issue is I'm not sure how much drop protection it would provide because like I say it is very thin. There's a lip over the screen but I can imagine the phone becoming disfigured underneath if it was dropped from an appreciable height. I'm usually quite careful though so I'm trying not to worry about that

Thanks for the reply guys I was slightly inclined towards the rugged armor my self, it looks frekin awesome. I'll go for it then.

Currently using the Spigen rugged armour as I was afraid of finger prints with the clear variant. Not as slippery as I expected and gives all the protection you need, saved my phone from a couple of drops and it is scratch free

I'm actually using both. I initially only had the rugged armor and then bought the Neo hybrid. I found with a glass screen protector the Rugged armor doesn't play well with it. With just a plastic screen protector the Neo hybrid looks really nice. I love em both though

I have one and it's not really a good "feel" for me. It's a great case, just not to my liking. I am rocking this one now: OnePlus 3T Case, OnePlus 3 Case, Nillkin Synthetic Fiber Premium Bumper Case Cover [Compatible with Magnetic Car Holder] for OnePlus 3T / 3 - Black. It's a lot like the OEM and fits great. With that and the LiquidSkin protector, I really like the slimness and the feel.

Been using the rugged armor for about a month.
- Not slippery
- Good protection
- Not too thick
- I think the CF is stupid. I want it plain.
9/10 would buy again.

Have had the OP3T with that case for 2 months now
1. No they don't. I just have one little scratch on the corner revealing a small white line (barely visible)
2. No idea since I haven't dropped the phone a single time. I can just say that the bumper makes the case kind of more slippery actually. Previously I rocked Spigen Ultra Hybrid on Nexus 5/Nexus6/Galaxy S6 and it was much more grippy. I felt much safer while for example on a bus, now I aim to hold it with two hands since I don't feel the grip this well. The Neo's advantage over Ultra Hybrid though, is the fact that the whole product is relatively soft and flexible so that it doesn't damage the device at all as UH used to with its back made of hard solid plastic.
9/10 very decent, non-bull**** and SOLID case anyway. Totally recommend it, the notices above are just the matter of my fussiness

Protective Case

I always rock an Otterbox Commuter case on my phones mainly for work conditions can get rough at times. From what I've seen, Otterbox is only offering their Defender series (too big and bulky) and their Symmetry series (thinner, one piece case). I've decided to go with the Symmetry series and I'm pleasantly surprised. It definitely adds a little bit of bulk, but not as much as the Commuter, while offering great all-around protection. The one piece design is easy to put on and remove (unlike previous Symmetry cases I've tried on other phones). I do wish that there was a bit of grip on the sides like the Speck Presidio series cases, but I like the design. Unfortunately the only options were clear, pink, or black.... so I went with black.
So what's your choice for a protective case? Share pics and comments.

I too normally use the Otterbox defender for my phones but I wanted to try something new. I bought a poetic revolution for myself and a supcase unicorn beetle pro for my wife. They appeared a little slimmer and had port covers which I wanted. Amazon says they will arrive tomorrow so I shall see.

I had the unicorn beetle pro for my Nexus 6 and it's a nice cheaper alternative to the defender, but it still adds more bulk than the commuter case. I may look into the poetic case though. Let me know how they work out for you. ?
I went to Best Buy and tried out the Defender case. Definitely too bulky and I hate the built in screen protector (and it doesn't sit well over a glass screen protector, even if you take out the built in one).

You may not like the poetic as it has the built in screen protector. I'm used to the bulk of the defender so I'm not a great judge of the size. I will tell you the poetic is smaller then the supcase unicorn beetle. Built in port covers are nice too, overall it is a smaller rugged case you can say.

just received the Poetic Karbon Shield Slim Fit Case With Anti-Slip Side Grip and Carbon Fiber Texture. it's a slimmer-fit case that offers (what i believe is) more protection than a thin TPU case. sharing pictures for those interested to know how it fits the G6. i also have tempered glass screen protector on the phone as well. you'll also notice in the first pic that wireless charing works with the case on the phone. i usually go with a much thinner case but i really like the look and feel of this one. will give it a week or so before i decide if it's a keeper. (please excuse the dust in the pictures - our HVAC ducts were being cleaned when i took these pictures).

Went from a Note 3 with Otterbox Commuter to a G6 with Spigen "Tough Armor" case, and am satisfied with it. Feels like it provides just as much protection as the Otterbox Commuter, yet not adding quite as much bulk. I'm kinda rough with my phones sometimes, and I'd have peace of mind if I were to accidentally drop my G6 from waist-height or so.
If you choose to go with Spigen, definitely buy it off Amazon, rather than directly from Spigen's website; it's cheaper off Amazon.

I almost went with this case but I got this one instead. It's the Caseology.

This Poetic has been great for me after a few days of use. Lightweight, decent protection, and good grip.

I just ordered this one on Amazon. Saw the office and couldn't pass it up. Glad to see it looks good, and works well with a glass protector. I got the Spigen glass 2 pack as I've always liked everything Spigen makes.
Was gonna get the unicorn beetle that I had for my s7e, but don't think I need that much protection on this one, plus no edge screens that I need to prevent my palm from hitting lol.
Update: I hate the Karbon case. Doesn't fit tightly and leaves gaps at the edges on the front. I guess for $8 it'll hold me over until I get a good case, but this one is not staying pass this weekend.

I would go for the Spigen Rugged Amor, it’s much slimmer and provide pretty much the same protection as the symmerty series http://www.the-reviewr.com/best-lg-g6-case/

Had that rugged armor for my v20 and loved it. Decided to go with the neo hybrid for the g6

Do you have pics of what it looks like on your phone?
Thanks!

So guys I'm searching for a good protective case that doesn't add too much bulk. I'm torn between the Poetic Revolution and the Supcase Unicorn Beetle. I like the way the Poetic looks except for the cutout on back, I prefer the Unicorns Cutouts. If anyone here has any pics to share, that be awesome. Or unless someone has another case to throw in the mix. THanks

Best Clear Case for LG G6. UAG vs Spigen vs Poetic vs Ghostek

I made a YouTube video comparing these 4 clear cases. They were all pretty good but if you can only have one:

Thanks for the comparison!

Liked and subscribed for no other reason than the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack playing in the background. One of my favorite soundtracks.
I agree with your assessment on the UAG. I was not impressed with its quality, fit, and finish, especially for a $40 case. It's really a $17 to $19 case. I am rocking a cheap case currently, similar to the Spigen but just a TPU case.

I like my ghosted case. It fits well and it seems protective.

just bought the Ringke Air LG G6 case from Amazon, comes in Clear and Smoked, really like it

So guys I need some opinions here. I torn between two cases and would like some help deciding. I can't decide between the two.
1. Ringke Fusion: https://goo.gl/tGKqRx
2. Spigen Ultra Hybrid: https://goo.gl/9sd0jZ
Any pros and cons would definitely help. Thanks.

I just got this phone for my wife and we got a cheap case at a small phone shop. The problem with the case is its hard to swipe the side of the screen on the left side because of the lip on the case.
Do any of these have that issue?

What did you end up getting?
I just got the Spigen, because I was happy with this case on previous phones. I'm disappointed by this case for 3 reasons:
Gap at fingerprint button and camera openings allow dust and dirt to get underneath case
Back of case is very slippery because the edges curve in
Back plastic makes direct contact with whatever surface you put phone on. So the back will get scratched as it slides around.
I'm thinking of getting the Ringke, but Amazon reviews state dust gets in from the back openings (like the Spigen) and it's loose on one side. I guess the curved back of the G6 is the reason. The opening for the fingerprint sensor is not chamfered on the Ringke. The Spigen cutout is chamfered and smaller. Using the fingerprint sensor is comfortable and precise on the Spigen. The Ringke has TPU feet on the back corners, so it won't slide on a surface and the back plastic won't get scratched. I like how the Ringke comes in smoked black, whereas the Spigen is only available in clear (which will yellow eventually).

So I went with the Ringke Fusion ink black with clear back and it does get dirt and debris around cutouts. I should have gone with the smoke back because the clear is a fingerprint magnet. I'm constantly wiping the back off as it looks horrible with all them smudges on it. But besides that it's an ok case. But I am in search of a new case as I'm tired of this one now lol.

I have the poetic and truly amazing case and had her to yellow like my spigen did. After 3 months use on the poetic no issues at all

I ordered the Ringke smoked TPU case (no hard back plastic) because it's smoked and there's a 30% off coupon if you buy another Ringke product on Amazon.

I just received this clear TPU case for $2.58 on Amazon after coupon. Click the "Buy 1, get 35% off" link below the price and it the discount shows at the final checkout screen.

I'm returning the Spigen Ultra Hybrid.

Spigen is the best one.

Went with Poetic for corner protection & price

I used to like clear case, but overtime they turn yellowish

Best clear case for LG G6. UAG vs Spigen vs Poetic vs Ghostek
I loved my Spigen case. It has fit precisely on my LG G6 and provides ultimate protection.

I loved the feel of my Spigen case, but it's definitely a finger print magnet and yellowed over time, and it picked up blue from my jeans, so it's a mess. I wish they had the same case available in solid colors or at least tinted. I moved on to a Spigen thin fit hard shell case for now. No more clear cases for me.

I will suggest Spigen cases for LG G6 .

Tips for thin but firm grip case.

I am trying to find a slim case for my 2xl that does not feel like its going to slip directly out of my hand.
I recently picked-up the Google fabric case and it still feels like its going to slip out.
Can anyone recommend a slim case that does not feel slippery?
I was thinking of the following and let me know anyones thoughts that have had it: RhinoShield Crash Bumper or the Spigen thin fit.

I have the Dbrand Grip, another bumper case, and it's...well, grippy.
I've had two.
The first wore down really quickly.
I got sent a brand new shipment by mistake (and they let me keep it) and this one seems to be more durable.
I've had it longer and it's not nearly as worn.

The top, not feel slippery

I got the Maxxessory Ultra-thin black case from amazon for $8. I love it. Crazy thin, matte finish - so it's a little grippy. Can't beat the price.... and the phone feels almost naked while having some protection.
