I am looking to get the slimmest case possible for my Captivate. From the research I have done so far it looks like the BodyGlove TPU or the Innocase II Surface might be the best options. Can anyone who has some experience with these cases comment on how much bulk they add to the phone?
Thanks.

The cheap Ebay/Amazon silicone rubber cases are probably the thinnest.
What's wrong with a skin?

I use the Amzer Luxe Argyle style case. It's thinner than the Bodyglove. Only problem is the power button is a bit harder to push through the skin.

Hmmm... I don't think those are very thin. In fact, from the very first post in the thread you you link to: "The case is pretty thick".

I considered it, but I think I want a bit of impact protection. I will likely skin it underneath the case so I can use it without as well.

Yeah I was going by my previous silicone cases and I just got my Body Glove and that case in the mail and it is thicker than the Body Glove.

I can tell you this case is worth buying. Fits perfectly. Feels good on your hand.

every thought of just grabbing a full body invisiblysheild kit?
the stuff was developed to protect the blades on helicopters
military grade screen protection all around.
no bulk no case no nothing. except film,
The Body Glove Mirage has been working great for me so far. Its quite thin
I just got my argyle case off ebay in the mail. I am thoroughly impressed in the quality and fit, very well worth it for the $8.53 I paid. I like it more than my body glove TPU case.

Right now the only option I have seen is the Case-Mate barely there case.
What other options are out there? I want them to be as thin as possible.
I have the i9100 global version.
There's nothing thinner than diabloskinz (see demos on youtube).
It will add "some" protection, without the added bulk of a full size case.
i use cygnett form.. very slim. you can also try capdase or momax
SGP ultra thin air, for a barely there feeling
I use incipio NGP case.
Tis niceeeee

I have a Momax ultra thin case. For this price it is really good - fits tightly and is rather grippy. If you want I can post some pictures of it on the device.
I want some pictures of momax, please buddy=]

x2! would like to see pics too!
Just bought this case from ebay.
Very slim but still I prefer a little thicker case.
I have the Nillkin one. Bought from here:
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ult...eplate-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p-1004.html#show
It took some time to arrive but it's pretty good.
I have the Case Mate BARELY THERE frome here :
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Barely-There-Cases.asp
It's seems the same form factor as the Nillkin.
The price is different.
The case mate is like the back of my old htc Hero, very smooth.
You have access to all the buttons and you can put any Jack 3,5mm without conflicts.

How good it fits to the phone? Does this case scratch the phone?
Thanks!
Looking for the thinnest and best fitting TPU style case. So far, I know of the Incipio NGP, Diztronic and Cruzerlite. What do you guys recommend?

I'm using the Diztronic matte blue one. Fits really well and looks great, much better than the cheapo one I picked up on ebay :silly:
Hasn't anyone used all 3 of the cases I listed above for their S3 and can compare? Wondering which one's the thinnest.
In have the diztronic matte black and it's great. Its not too thick and has a decent grip to it. Some have said the cruzerlite tpu cases have a ribed side for grip.
+1 For Diztronic matte black. Thin, light, good fit, easy to remove, no finger prints, slides easily in and out pockets, provides "adequate" protection of all 4 side edges given its thickness and a light lid-bumper around the front edges of the screen helps keep the screen from touching flat surfaces when the SGS3 is placed face-down. Btw... it also looks good.
I have all 3 and I must say the THINNEST hands down is none of the above. Samsung actually makes the thinnest TPU case and also while its the thinnest it has covered flaps for the 3.5mm headphone jack and the micro usb charging port! While I love my clear matte back Diztronic case the Samsung one has it beat in terms of sheer thinness. It also has the least amount of lip so it doesn't lift the edges of a Zagg or other full screen protector. Just my 2 cents.

The Body Glove tpu case is actually really thin on my S3 and its 20 bucks on Smartphonepedia.com. I hope this helps

Have you tried Samsung brand Protective Case blue TPU case? This thing feels amazing, nice grip and covers headphone port and microUSB. I have tried several different TPU cases and this one hands down feel the best for me. ExpansyUSA is selling them for $12.99

I find it lame that people review cases and use the terms "thin" and "slim" in term reviews... These terms are totally useless to me as they can mean drastically different things to different people. When I do case reviews I try to include measurements whenever possible.
Example, post #4 of my Igadgitz TPU case review:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762539
I think if more an more people start doing this, everyone will be better off.

Ended up ordering the Cruzerlite matte clear one and it should be here tomorrow. I'll probably end up trying out the Incipio translucent mercury too. I hear a lot of good things about Diztronic but not a fan of their color choices.

When you get both, will you perhaps do a side by side review of them for us? I like to hear what other people think about our stuff and how it stacks up against other cases.
Thanks

Will do.
The Mercury Pearl is by far the best fitting and looking TPU for the SGS3.
IMHO, YMMV...
i have a diztronic and the cruizerlite case. i like the cruizerlite better but thats mainly because it has the cool design all over it. the diz is just a plain cae. the diz is thinner than the cruizer but the cruizer has the ribbed sides so it grips better. they both fit about the same. the ridge on the front that touched the screen is a little thicker on the cruizer. i'd recommend either to anyone!

not splashproof but very thin..
I really like my mercury translucent Incipio NGP case. Only downside is that the covered power button is a little harder to click.
really like my matte black ditztronic
I want to try a Diztronic case but I don't like the color choices for my white S3.
I've been looking everywhere and the only quality case I have seen is the Otterbox and that is way too bulky.

Hey,
Are you specifically looking for a particular type of case?
I found a few -
http://www.mobilezap.com.au/51058-encase-flexishield-htc-desire-eye-gel-case-crystal-clear.htm
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/400817800248?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 I bought one of these, yet to arrive
Yeah, I'd really like a Spec Grip, Spigen case or a Diztronic type case. Thanks for the links though.
Found!
I found one awesome case top quality but worth $49.99. I am not able to link here due I'm new so try find on Amazon search called the "DevilCase HTC Desire EYE Aluminum Alloy Protective Bumper (Black)" they have black, gold, and red.
Does anybody know of a good quality dustproof case for the oneplus 2? I have a lifeproof on my current phone and it seems to do a reasonable job, with lifeproof not being available I'm looking for other options.
How about Tudia Omnix or Poetic Revolution series, can't really vouch for any of this since I'm still waiting for its availability in my country
The issue with those two and the otterbox is the cutouts for the cameras, home button and earpiece speaker.
I used an otterbox on a previous phone and after a few days it was quite badly scratched up from dust inside the case.
I work on a port where iron ore is processed and exported, the dust is very abrasive and there's no shortage of it.
I suppose you could try something like an Otterbox and seal the speaker grill etc. yourself?
That or one of those ugly waterproof bags.
