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.

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.

So currently I have a cheap case I bought on ebay and it's messing up my invisibleshield on the sides. Whenever I grip the sides it pushes up against the shield and dust gets in there.
I'm considering buying a new case but I'm not sure what one to get so it won't mess up the shield. Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking the tpu case but I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Hands down the best cases you can get for your phone at the TPU fusion cases. All TPU cases are great, but the TPU fusion just has a slightly higher level of detail.
There is a thread in this section about the TPU fusion cases that also has an online coupon code for like 10% off their already really cheap price.
I would link but I'm feeling lazy today. Happy hunting

I agree! Best case I've used so far (and I've used silicone, tpu, trident cyclops, and the aegis). Thing rocks and really does protect

Used to have more colors but now only have black, clear and red.
Act quick!
I originally bought the black gel skin from T-Mobile when I bought my phone. It was a lint magnet, though, and it added a significant amount of bulk to the phone. So I ended up buying a translucent smoke colored TPU case, OEM HTC variety, from Amazon. It's nice, feels good, looks good, has cutouts for all the buttons (so they aren't hard to press like some TPU cases) and doesn't add a huge amount of bulk to the phone, while also making it easier to hold onto.
I have used the Otterbox Commuter and the TPU Fusion case. I switch between the two. Plus they both protect the phone well and fit inside of my Seidio holster.
Trident aegis case FTW

Is the Seidio holster you're using the standard one for the MT4G? Or did you have to use a larger size? I'm looking for a good case to replace the Seidio one I'm currently using, but I like the design of the Seidio holster...

As previously stated, the trident case is very good, but if your not willing to spend the money you can go for the TPU fusion. Its cheaper, and still has a modern look to it.

lol this seems like itll feel weird, especially in the pocket
the TPU Fusion case is the best ive seen..
the regular silicone cases are nice too but the rubber is so grip-y that its hard to pull the phone out of the pocket lol
The trident case looks great I'm going to order it.
my sister has the TPU case and i think im going to pick one up they look great and feel good in the hands.
I bought this. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004K575E0/ref=oh_o02_s00_i01_details
It's not so much a case IMO but more of a glove. The phone remains extremely slim still and its pretty stiff.

Try the Otterbox Commuter case. It's fairly cheap for a otterbox, and it looks like it'd be a good case that would work well with invisishield,
Hey. I currently have a cheap 2$ case from Ebay. The problem with it, that it doesnt have a good feeling, I mean its not comfortable to hold the phone, and I dont like how it feels. I am looking to buy a case from the hiqh quality brands : Otterbox, Cae Mate, Incipio, SGP... I realy cant decide which one of them to buy. As I mentioned before, I want the case to have a good feeling in the hand and it has to be comfortable to hold...
Thanks..
I just ordered a Ringke SLIM Case, after doing a lot of research on cases that pay attention to the "feel". I haven't received it yet, so all I have to go on is the videos on YouTube. Runner up was the Incipio Feather, which was actually a little cheaper. I'm hoping this is a case where you pay a little extra to get a better quality product. We'll see.
It is a hugely subjective feeling. Does the Nexus feel big in your hand? Can you handle a case that will add a bit of thickness to it? If you want protection, then all of the slim cases like the Feather and SLIM won't function in that way. If you want a relative slimness, with good in-hand feel, and protection, I'd recommend the Seidio Surface or the Active (my favorite), with the Kickstand, since the design allows for it to hide while you hold it.
I like the incipio case that verizon sells and it fits with the extended battery too.
^^^ Agreed. The Incipio Silicrylic is an awesome case with great protection. Its a tad loose on the back of my gsm gnex but it fits great none the less. And they have a wide array of colors

i have the Ringke SLIM Case and i think its ok. but the protection sucks. one drop and the phone will probably get messed up pretty bad. i only have it because it came with my phone when i bought it used. but if you like a case that is really slim and doesn't add much bulk and feels nice. i think its a good case. i really miss the cruzerlite cases. they are good protection and they have good grip. i would give up my case for one of those in a heart beat. lol
Edit: here is some pics if it helps.
I've got one of those cheapo s-shape TPU cases and it feels great in the hand.
Thanks for the comments, guys. I think I am gonna get the SGP case. I watched some reviews on Youtube and It looks great..

Good choice. I've got pretty much all the most popular cases from the Ringke slim, to the incipio cases, a bunch of nice Mercury TPU cases. And my favorite for overall fit, feel and protection is probably the SGP Ultra Hybrid...

Any bumper cases out there for this phone? Really looking for a case which doesn't mess up the look of the phone
I have a black cruzerlite case that I got from amazon. It adds almost no bulk to the phone, and looks great! It's grippy, but doesn't stick to your pocket like a silicone case. I paid $13, with shipping.
U can have the diztronic one. It gives the phone a classy look indeed

i've been really happy with the Incipio silicrylic hybrid case.
it's pretty rugged and i've had numerous drops without a scratch or anything. everything's covered and the buttons are easy to push.
i had the casemate hybrid before. that one was pretty good too but i didn't care for how the lip around the screen was grey.

Another awesome feature of the Transformer case is that the outside shell fits over other cases. I have slipped it over my normal hard iBlason case as well as my Diztronic TPU.
So basically it adds a kickstand to any case, nice

+1 on the kickstand case. I spent a significant amount of time trying to find the best one, and I ended up getting the one you reviewed here and love it. The only thing it's missing is the ability to stand up in portrait, but I can live without that. Coming from the original EVO, I had to have a kickstand, and this case gives me one without adding a ton of bulk or a weird bump. I'm very happy with this case. FYI - it's currently $12.99 on Amazon.
I bought the kickstand case and I ended up getting the clear tpu as well. The clear TPU lets you appreciate the design of the phone while offering some protection.
Nice review,thanks. How about getting the kickstand case, but just using the rubber piece? I like a rubber backing. Or can that be purchased separately?
The first one doesnt look different than the nillkin case and what is that music app btw? the effects were nice

I'm not sure if you have looked at the amazon product page, but have they added the little indent near the power button now. I was wondering if that's how you saw it when you ordered. Can't find a review of the updated design.
hey all
does anybody know about ultra thin cases besides of Spingen?
Thanks!
There's also the Ringke Slim case, aside from that though, no idea.
Ive got a Ringke slim on the way
Ordered the diztronic. It was my favorite on n4. We will see how it is on the nexus 5. I like that it surrounds the edges all around compared to some other brands.

What I don't like about Spigen and Ringke is that both does not completely cover the top and bottom of the phone.

Just received my Ringke Slim case. Thinnest case I have seen yet. I always bought Diztronic TPU cases in the past but want something that did not add any bulk and kept the look of the device but still offered some protection.
I took some pictures of the case next to my Nexus 4 Diztronic case. My phone is being delivered today so I will add some pics later with the phone it it. This case is thin! I will have to see what I think about it not covering the top and bottom but sonce the corners will be ptotected it should be just fine.

I got ringke too looks great long wait to uk though.
I just went ultra-cheap ass way with thin case.
QuickSand Matte Hard Skin Cover Case
Then again, last 5 of my phone cases have been "sand" cases, for better grip.
Are there any ultra-thin cases that protects the top and bottom (I mostly just want a all around color case instead of missing top and bottom)? I don't need drop protection but only a shell so as thin as possible would be awesome.
Got it along w/ 2 other Spigen cases and like this one the most, slimply because it allows me to plug in a headphone plug and the top and bottom does not have a lip that will trap pocket lint.
Only downside(s) is that it's smooth surface doesn't give you that confident feeling you would have like you would w/ the rubberized surface. It's a tight fit and I worry if I take it off and on that it could damage the volume and power button.
Anybody have an idea of one like this but is rubberized? I don't want anything with funky graphics or designs, just simple plain
I'm also looking for something with a rubberized texture. I got the Ringke Slim case and it has such a feathery smooth finish that I'm constantly worrying about the phone slipping out of my pocket. It's even difficult to get a decent grip if my hands are the least bit dry (which is all the time in the winter). I'd love to find a nice soft TPU case that is slim and slightly rubbery. The SGP Ultra Capsule on my old GS2 was perfect! Anything like that for the N5?
