I'm trying to decide what to do for protecting my Kindle. All the cases I've seen add quite a bit of bulk, but just a screen protector doesn't seem like enough. Are there any ultra-minimal cases out there that do the job without getting in the way?
If I were looking for minimalist, I would probably look at TPU cases like this one:

Not going to be as protective as the ones that cover the screen as well, but might be more your style.

I wanted a very thin shell to only protect the KF from being scratched in my tote bag. I got this one, and I like it, although it wasn't cheap. It covers the screen and you can fold the screen cover into a stand. It's very thin but solid and looks great.

It looks like the Acase microshell is the same but at 1/3 the price
http://www.ctcstore.com/AcaseTM-Kindle-Fire-Deluxe-Lightweight-MicroShell/M/B0066D608G.htm
That acase just doesn't fit right.
Well, the plastic backing fits really well, but the flap on the front bugs the heck out of me.
It doesn't have enough fabric on the hinge part so it doesn't close 100%, won't fold back 100% and generally just makes that flap get in the way.
Fixes the bumped power button issue ...

I highly recommend this case if you want something to "fix" the power button placement/sensitivity issue. I have bumped the power button on my Fire way too many times and occasionally had a dead/low battery because it turned on in my laptop bag or gym bag because the power button was bumped too many times. This case is very minimalist and does not at much to the weight or bulk. It lets you have a recessed power button and some protection against bumps. My price through Amazon was $9.95 with free shipping. I bought two, one for me and one for my wife.

I received the case below for Christmas and am quite happy with it so far. The one reviewer on Amazon gave a poor review because the magnets were apparently originally advertised to turn the Fire on and off like the ipad smart cover (it doesn't). Despite that discrepancy, it's a nice slim, minimal case if that's what you're looking for.

I second this, using it now and it doesn't have any issues that I'm seeing the Acase has. You can comfortably hold it in your hand with the front cover laying flat. it is a bit expensive but it's definitely worth it. Plus I can stick it in my front pocket

I agree as well. I've been using this case for a week now. I am very happy with how little bulk it adds and how well it fits. Highly recommended.
Just got the marware today, and love it.

Replacing a cheap acase that had a border that hugged the screen nicely, but made it near IMPOSSIBLE to hit settings and bring up the bottom nav bar. Whatever you do, don't get something with a border, get something that snaps on the back, and leaves the screen completely clear.
Marware one doesn't seem to stand as well as my acase, but the acase wouldn't close all the way.
Hello,
can any one tell me whether there is for the LG G Pro? (Softtouch = effect like a rubber)

I don't know if there is a replacement back you can get for it, but there are a few lightweight cases Ive seen that have that kind of texture. You might have some luck with that... and you won't lose NFC antenna (which is attached to the back plate.)
You also have to think the Qi wireless receiver is on the battery cover, maybe nfc as well.
Sent from my LG-E980 using xda app-developers app
I would love to have this too - soft touch cover that includes Qi and NFC! As others have said, a lightweight thin case might help. I just ordered an Incipio feather case that should be here in a couple of days so I can report back. It looks similar to what I had for my Galaxy S3 and I liked that a lot.
i searched for something similar but didn't find any :crying:
i don't like to put a case on but a soft touch back cover only for extra grip
Given the nature of LG phones, I doubt it's going to be popular enough to receive the kind of aftermarket battery cover that some of the other popular phones out there get. The closest thing you can probably find to get a grippier back would be this:
http://www.buychina.com/items/lg-f2...ticker-diy-color-film-color-paste-ruprqqrojil
Basically a 3M film, like what dbrand makes. Alternatively you could try Armorsuit/Skinomi's carbon fiber skins, but I think they're rather overpriced.
I did see on a different forum that if you get the Xtremeguard full body protection kit, then the section that covers the battery door can make it a lot grippier, even if you don't use the screen protector portion. I saw it for like $4 or $5 on ebay. One concern I had though was that the back portion looked bigger than the battery door, which means it will extend past the door and cover the sides of the phone - this would make it messy to remove the battery cover, if you do that regularly.
Yeah, came across the same problem, couldn't find good replacement back so I wrapped mine in black suede. Looks and feels awesome.

How did you do that? i.e., where did you get the material and how did you install?
I just got my Incipio Feather case yesterday. Kinda disappointed. Fit and finish and quality of materials is superb. But to me, the basic reason to get this case was to increase grip. And even though it's soft touch, it is almost as slippery as the phone itself! Might have to get a traditional TPU case and just live with the dust accumulation, or try something like you did.

I bought the suede from a JoAnn and craft store and used the 3M super77 multi purpose spray adhesive. To me it works out perfectly as the suede is very grippy. I can however understand if some people don't like it.
I'm using incipio case and I can confirm that the the wireless charging and NFC function working fine with the case.

I've been using the Ringke Delight case for about a week now and really like it. the look is great, but the materials are kinda crap. Can't really complain since its so cheap though. It definitely won't fall apart anytime soon, but its just very rough and plasticy.

yes i read your impressions bout it and i really liked its appearance from the pics as i didnt see one from real life, hope you can upload some pics of it from all the sides especially the back
but i'm really clumsy with mobiles and always falling from me without noticing , so i believe my chances here is better
i think i'll stick with the flip case for a while, tho the magnetic flap seems to be a pain, and afraid the thickness would affect the pics tho the cam is moderate , after that i'll be gladly take this Amzer's
thanks for reply

now it's $10.99, would that be good price for it?
i didn't know it'd be this crappy, i know it's cheap but after some search for this price range up to $15, didn't found something looks better ,tidy and looking durable at least
i'll post my opinions too once i received it
regards
i think the flip cover from RINGKE DELIGHT is the worst !!!!
i cant remove the mobile from it
i'm afraid of damage it or scratch it
my nails broke while trying from all areas
help
The clasp placement on the Ringke Delight is a bit problematic as-well - gets in the way of the volume rockers both with the case open and closed.
Also don't think you'll be using a compass app with the Ringke fitted - the magnet in the clasp is quite strong and stops compass apps getting a proper bearing. Using Maps with GPS is fine though.
Other than that I quite like it, but if I was buying again I'd look elsewhere. Agreed it's a pain getting the phone out of it.
I recommend this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/20101483824...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
It adds little bulk, grip, and it doesn't leave fingerprints. Only problem is that it will take awhile to get to you.
i got refund on it
i dont think the magnet is strong cause it can barely grab the other side of the cover
anyways i think i may go with amzer's , i liked it before but i chose the flip one to protect the device for longer time, now it seems it'll damage it sooner than any accident
i may consider this, it seems better and really the design that was on my mind before taking the current one:
Orzly - Black Multi-Function Wallet Case Cover Pouch with In-Built Stand Function and Magnitic Sleep Sensors

What about flip case? Does anyone have any experience with good brands?

I got this yesterday in mail (black and white colour). Very happy with the quality and all the ports/mic holes perfectly centered. sturdy feel. I dropped my phone 3 times without the case (luckily not much damage at all.. just minor ding on corner) and then i thought of buying a case before it has spider web screen.

Cruzerlite Bugdroid
I have been using the Cruzerlite Bugdroid TPU case. It has a slim profile while feeling quite sturdy and able to withstand a drop. All my friends who have the OnePlus One have this case. It comes in a very very wide variety of colors, too. The only downside is that it does fade after a while, but it really isn't that bad or too noticeable. The price is very reasonable for the quality of the product. It is easy to find on Amazon.
Hope this helps.

Make sure you get the one I linked to, with the slightly bigger corners, better protection
I've had the Diztronic case for around 7 months now and it's been perfect. Protected when dropped, not too bulky, slight raised lip on screen side to protect screen when placed screen face down.
The only negative I can think of is that it does add a bit of weight to the phone, although I'm sure that is inevitable based on the protection it gives and also the sturdy nature of the material it is made from.

Exactly... you want protection? Then you're gonna feel it
Try a casemate barely there on your phone and see if it protects... makes me wanna cringe immediately
I wouldn't wanna droptest with that on, or any other "lookyoucanhardlyseeandfeelmebecauseIamsothin" case
if you like TOTAL protection i recommend TWO cases TUDIA OMNIX and POETIC. i have the TO and my experience to it is that the covers of the audio and charger ports are not good if you use them for a prolong period of time they dont go back easily i mean there is a small part of the cover that tends to stay open.
FOR POETIC, i saw reviews both Oneplus.net and amazon they say that it is much better than TO it is much thin than the TO and the ports are much better.
Another great feature about the Diztronic is the way it covers the side buttons and gives them a more sturdy feel. I got another case previously and it had cut out for the buttons, but it was a pain trying to press them as the OnePlus One's side buttons are so small.

I really like this case & I don't think it has added that much bulk to the phone.
It does provide good grip & protection.
I dropped my phone when on the treadmill & it landed on the belt & shot off the treadmill flew about 5 feet & hit a wall and no damage to phone. Whew!! that was a close one.
I have dropped it screen side down numerous times with no screen damage.
Yes it has good grip, but my hands do not, so I drop my phone a lot.
Anyways here's the link to the case I use.
If you get it with the screen protectors those are pretty good at staying clean.

I hate bulky cases. I found this slim case that has protected mine from some nasty concrete and tile drops.
search amazon for this "Moto G5 Plus Case, J&D [Drop Protection] [Slim Cushion] [Lightweight Bumper] Shock Resistant Protective TPU Slim Case for Motorola Moto G5 Plus (5.2") - [NOT Compatible with Moto G5 5.0"] "
I just purchased a case from armor-x. If you do a search for armor-x and moto g5 plus it should pop up. They have a really neat mount system that is built right into their case (on the back). It does not seem to add noticeable bulk to the phone.
