First off - let me disclaimer this:
Some people want the Fort Knox of cases. They are clumsy with their phone. They've experienced dropping their phone several feet to the ground. They want impact protection. The G-Shock of phone cases. And they aren't afraid to carry something the size of a brick with the appearance of something from Toys 'R Us in trade for that protection. No problem. Obviously there's no shortage of THOSE cases.
My problem is that there ONLY seem to be cases made for those kinds of people.
I'm looking for a case that more or less barely wraps the phone - not for impact resistance, but abrasion resistance, light protection from scratches. I keep my phone in my pocket 100% of the time, and I'm more than respectfully careful when it's out - call me paranoid. But I know from experience with [all my other phones that I've never bought a case for] that light scratches can appear over time.
One of the BEST things about the SGS2 is the thin profile of the phone - and I'm already disappointed to have lost 1mm of that thinness, but willing to live with it. With a phone this size already, I'm not willing to lose millimeters more. It's supposed to be a thin phone.
Jokes about Apple lawsuits aside, I wish there were a case more akin to the iPhone 4's bumper case - something that offered just minimal protection - when setting the phone down, perhaps a little impact protection of the phone were to fall - but not taking away from the overall thin profile of the phone with an enveloping, thick back panel. Hell, if I eventually had to replace the battery door, I can do that for less than the cost of a new case anyway.
Are there any cases for guys who want thin? Who don't want it for impact protection, just simple, pocketable, wear protection against minor scratches and the like? And - can that case look classy?
I've only seen this one, but it's for the regular SGSII, not the sprint version:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...-S-II-Barely-There-Brushed-Aluminum-Cases.asp
Even that wraps fully around the phone and adds thickness... it merely offers the promise of being thin.
What's the thinnest option out there, if impact resistance weren't a concern?
I got my tpu case on with out the back battery cover, and it feels fairly thin, and will still provide some protection. The case is without the back cover stay flush with the camera. I am going to order another one with matte finish.
The TPU's are good and cheap too. A good holdover until the barelythere comes out...which I predict will be within a couple weeks.

Case-mate - Brushed Aluminum Barely There Case, Epic Touch 4G
The TPU-cases are really nice, and I was surprised that it didn't add much thickness at all. I did post a review here, along with some pictures.
The carbon kickstand case you can get at the store is perfect imo. The phone feels no bigger with it on.
I wish Rearth (http://www.rearthusa.com/) would make a case for the ET4G, but last I emailed them they weren't intererested at this time since A) it wasn't out yet, and B) they didn't anticipate high demand for it.
The reviews on the international SII cases were really good too :-/

How's that sprint kickstand case? Is it the fold into a triangle kick stand or an actual bar that pops up? It looks similar to my buddy's trianglish plastic kickstand case on his tmobile GSI vibrant and that thing is a piece of junk. Fits the phone like it was chisselled out of plastic, looks like $hit.
For $30 it better be sexy.

Not a triangle but a little wider than most bar kickstands I've seen. My gripe with that case is it doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone, it fits more like a holster than a case. And for $30 thats IMO unacceptable.
I'm waiting for seidio to make a case for this phone, loved the innocase I have on my hero and it wasnt very thick at all.
How about a stick on skin if you want the thinnest "cover" possible?

I'm using a gloss-black TPU at the moment (and loving it) but I'm really considering one of those kickstands. I've put my phone in one a few times. It looks good but for the money it feels really inadequate.
Thanks for all the good suggestions...
I did actually read that review of the TPU case... one of my coworkers has one on his 3D. In his case, it covered the camera hump and made the phone thinner - the implementation on this phone seems much better.
For the money, it's tempting to at least as a stop gap to use for a few months to see what becomes available - or I'll just use none as a stop gap, like I've done with all my other phones. This one just seems like a phone worthy of babying more than I already do baby my lifeline.
A skin... I'm not aware of any, but I'm initially cringing thinking of what kind of vinyl wrap that may imply... cartoon characters, immature sayings, dragons and swords, flames, or what? Maybe something that's just a texture or color?

There are a number of companies that make removable, transparent "full body" skins. I've had good luck with both Skinomi and Zagg protectors in the past.

That's a reseller type site... according to a few other spots around the net, Case-Mate has the barely there, pop, and tough cases coming out starting 9/29 or so. Whether or not this is legit, I still cannot say... but hopefully.
Well, this may be good news. That aluminum one for the original GSII looks pretty classy, I would pick one of those up if available...
...and from that listing on CaseMate's actual website, I'm going to guess they'll be available pretty soon!

Just emailed support to ask with a link to the item listed; I should hear back in next couple of days. From the listing, it looks like the kind of site that sells to 3rd party vendors, and since the packaging says Sprint branded, I suspect this is meant for non-corporate Sprint stores. Just a guess, but I will update if I hear anything back.
PS I bought the kickstand case and I kinda hated it, returned it within the hour... felt flimsy and overpriced, and it was more of a bad holster than a case; barely held the phone in and the kickstand was very tough to un-clip. I never say a product is not for anyone, but it certainly wasn't for me.

Interesting to know that it will work, mostly. I've just been leaving feedback from various computers at work and at home via their feedback link hoping I they'll see a demand for it and make a case for the ET4G
Actually, I really dont know how to describe such case.
Since there many holes on the back and might be help for to cool down GN.
So I just call it air cooling case.
There're also other kind of case with holes on ebay and taobao. But they are
too rough and too ugly. Usually cost around 3RMB,but u won't want to put it
on your GN which might scratch ur GN.
I bought this one around 10USD. And the color is green with little bit metal
feeling.
The only disadvantage is: It won't fit with 2000mah battery. So u can only use
1750mah battery with it.
looks nice. could you post a link?

Plenty of cheap ones.
These are called "Mesh snap on" cases.
Here's for the GSM Nexus: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=i9250+mesh&_sacat=0
$1.92
There's no "snap on mesh" cases for the Verizon, they're more fully formed so it's not cheap.
$7-$9 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=i515+mesh&_sacat=0&_odkw=i9250+mesh&_osacat=0
Those are the cheap feeling ones the OP described. I was asking for a link to a cheaper site for the Anymode version the OP recommended. Thanks though!

this is not going to cool your phone, you are adding another layer of plastic to trap heat. do you cool yourself by wearing a sweater?

The "air cooling" is just a term to describe this case. Just a comparison
between other TPU or silicon case.
Of course no case is the coolest!

Great case! I ended up getting it from eBay since I can't read Korean/Chinese nor trust signing up with credit card info to foreign websites I don't understand. Nice matte finish on the black one here. Feels solid, snug and good in the hand. The wrap-around to the front leaves just enough of a gap between housing and screen that edge-to-edge screen protectors should work nicely. And the design and materials seem excellent for signal, WiFi and NFC (unlike my last case)! Would definitely buy again.
Very, very pleased... now I just need my Fantom tempered glass screen protector:

Those ones don't really count. The pictures show a full case with the snap on mesh that goes over it. So the mesh on those cases is just for looks.
My issue with these mesh cases is that dust collects in the holes REALLY easily. :\
I bought these full price from Amazon since right now there are no case deals yet that I've seen.
Mustaner smooth hard minimal case
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KPEMZZS
I gave it a 3 star review - it definitely is smooth, but to the point it feels like it is going to slide right out of your hand. Also, camera cutout does not have a lip and the sensor sticks out slightly even with the case.
Ringke onyx case
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K5I9CB4
This is the one I'm going to be running as my daily driver. Defintiely offers some good protection all around. The sides are textured and offer a nice grip to it. I'm giving it a 5 star because all around it is an awesome case. Adds a little bulk but nothing terrible that detracts from the phone.
I just wish there was a minimalistic case that had some slight texture and protected the camera.

I did a quick look at wallet case for the V20 .. there was only one model ahaha... until I find a full coverage case like otterbox/lifeproof I will stick to that. I doubt that my phone holster i got for the note 7 will work on with it though =/ It was design for the ip7 and the note 7 was slightly smaller so I knew that fit but v20 is bigger. Without the case I know it fit... with it ... errr >.>

I'm looking for the most minimalist case possible that will provide basically scratch protection...not really looking for one that is designed for "drop" protection.
Reason for the thinner case is due to my car holder clip which barely is able to keep my previous V10 without a case stable.

I have the spigen crystal on as I type this. Clean and minimalistic. Offers a raised lip around the display, and offers a raised lip around the camera bump. Solid non-slipping gripability on back and sides. A little too shiny and floppy around the edges though. A good basic protector.

Is it just me or does the case selection kind of suck so far on this phone? I know it's not even the official release date yet but hopefully the case selection will get better.

My go to case manufacturer has gauged not enough interest in this phone so Diztronic will not be making a TPU case or any case for it unfortunately.

Upstate: Received on Sunday from Amazon. I'm ​happy with this case. It does what I wanted, which was protect the front and rear glass areas from contacting surfaces when I put the device down. The raised rubberized black lines keep the phone up away from the clear cover. The holes in the clear cover for USB, mic, stereo jack (bottom), and whatever the tiny hole next to the camera is on the back all line up perfectly. I like the bumpers on the corners too. Hopefully I won't have reason to test them, but they look capable. :good:
Okay so now I'm pissed because my fave case manufacturer UAG came out with a new model for my phone just days after I settled on something less.

I also picked up this case. It is quite good, nice and slim with solid side grips. Having a clear back allows my Skinnova skin to show through which is cool. It fits tightly around the phone and feels quite sturdy. I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something close to a bumper case. I think this might be as close as we're going to get for this device.
i didnt receive my g5+ yet but i found this and i think it looks awesome.

Will do! I just ordered it yesterday, the total came out to around $20 USD. It looks like they 3D print the cases individually, so it won't be shipping out until Aug 31st.
I just got the bumper case from Shapeways today. First impressions - it's just ok, nothing spectacular. It feels like a $5 -10 bumper case, not a $20 one. The fit is a bit loose and not as sung as I would like. The grip is really solid though, and I like the texture. Overall I would say this bumper case isn't worth the money. But if you REALLY want a slim case, I would say go for it. I'm not sure if we'll ever get a different bumper case for this phone, so this might be your only option (at least right now).

Hey all,
I have a nice case and glass screen protector but I kinda need something with port covers ie- headphone and charging ports. I work in a dusty environment. I really don't want a pain in the ass case to take off since I have a spare battery I swap out.
But you still need the speaker and mic's to be open.... makes no sense to me.

I'm just worries about the charging port and headphone jack getting crap in them. Should I not be?
If your work environment is bad enough for you to be concerned about dust ingress then you're right to be concerned. I'd suggest maybe using a cheapo phone at work.
Dust won't be particular about where it enters so all openings are vulnerable. If it was me I'd certainly not want to risk my V20.
Well I work for parks down here in Florida. It can get dusty at times. It's not like I work in a machine shop that has particulates flying about. I think I am being more anal than anything lol
Haha you're on the wrong site then mate

But seriously, it doesn't sound as bad as what you made it in your OP. So I wouldn't worry too much about the dust aspect, as long as you've got a decent case on it for drop protection I'd guess it should be OK.

I used this Nilkin case which is just what you need. I use it and it is perfect! Not sure if it fits the bill for you but the link is below. I got them off Aliexpress - not too sure if they ship to your place.

Looks good but does the case stick out enough to protect the camera lens?

I would say it does the job? But that's just for me. It is like any other TPU cases that you have on the market. The quality is definitely there. I'm using a different leather case now for work and I still keep that TPU one.

Thanks.
Coming from a Nexus 6 I am really enjoying this phone. I did have my reservations
Check ringke cases, some have covers for the port. Otterbox also has covers for the ports iirc.
Looks like Otterbox have discontinued the V20 case...

Still available in the US:

and on Amazon UK:

as well as Amazon US:

This is the case I use and it really protects the phone. The only ports left open are the 3 microphone and speaker. The charging port is covered. I think it's the best you'll find.
Yeah i know. But odd that it's discontinued so soon.
And the price is too much.
Had an Otterbox on my Nokia N900, excellent quality, and it was cheaper getting it from the US.
Just checked, I've still got the case.
