Thinnest case with full protection

Any one have a recommendation of the thinnest case that protects all four sides of the phone? I have the GSM Nexus and the Incipio and Case Mate options do not provide cover on all four sides. I was wondering if any one has seen something similar but with 4 corner protection

I don't really like cases as I find the ones with a nice feel to "grab" too much when I pull the phone out of my pocket, but I do use a silicone "skin" occasionally when I want to keep the phone from jostling around in my cupholder or if I'm doing an activity where I don't want the phone to slide out of my pocket easily. They're dirt cheap too, only $2-$3 on ebay.

Rearth RingKe Slim
Sent from my HTC Flyer P510e using xda premium

Definitely a toss-up between Rearth Ringke SLIM, SGP Neo-Hybrid, and SGP Ultra Capsule.
Here's an excellent video review of the SGP Neo-Hybrid. I'm really interested in seeing the same reviewer do the Rearth SLIM, and sent him a PM requesting it. I hope he obliges

The problem that I have with the rearth and the hybrid is that they don't come completely up the side of the phone. I wouldn't mind if they came flush. The capsule might be a winner I'll have to find more pictures.

The Rearth indeed doesn't come all the way up on the sides, however the Hybrid does. Check out the review I linked you, specifically 1 minute and 53 seconds in - you can see the rubber part comes up and slightly over the phone.
In either case it doesn't really matter, either way the top and bottom DO have extruding "lips" so when you place your phone flat on a surface, the screen won't be touching it.

Oh thanks I didn't notice the lip on the Hybrid.. Interesting. Thanks

any of these fit the extended battery in cdma version

I'm currently using the diztronic rev 3 matte black one . Works great and it fits over the extended battery.

I just got my GSM Nexus, and just installed an XO skin (non-case version) on the screen. do any of the above case suggestions interfere with screen protectors? I'm looking to getting a thin case just to increase the grip on the device.

I wish someone would make something like the diztronic but thinner. That way it would have grip and a little protection, but still feel close to stock and fit in docks and such. I saw something like this years ago on a nokia phone.
I have a diztronic case and it's not bad but too thick Imo. I ordered one of those "skin" stickers, but haven't received it yet.

I went with the sgp Neo hybrid. It's much thinner than I expected and provides full coverage. My only is that it's smoothness is hard to get used to and is a little slippery. Hopefully I won't drop it

SGP Neo Hybrid
SGP NEO HYBRID!!!!! and since you have the gsm version itll fit like a glove

Sgp Neo hybrid ftw. Best case IMO. Its not slippery for me at all. And its pretty damn thin for a 2 piece case. They even sent it hand gift wrapped. Great customer service !

I don't have a top 3 but i've owned the trident aegis and neo hybrid and sent them both back cos of problems with the buttons.
currently I have the seidio active with kickstand which is ok but I find it slippy in the hand. I also have a cheap tpu case which is pretty good but got the acase super legerra this morning which is superb. good grip, not much bulk, buttons work great and fits perfectly and only £10!

Samsung orginal is the best one
poor build quality but best suitet

Look no further. The Acase Superleggera Pro is where it's at.

I use a Case Mate POP! For my Kickstand Case, a Spigen Modello for my thin case, and I just purchased 3 cheap duel layer mesh cases that I can change out the different color layers to mix things up. Hands down best case is the Acase.

Ultra thin cases?

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.

I'll give that a try.
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?

Do not buy the ringke slim case it damages the phone when you take the case off. Also it has sharp edges all over. I had to pull so hard that the back plate of the nexus 5 came off in the corner. Worthless case

These are the same cases. Do not buy from Cruzerlite. Buy cheap.
Even cheaper here and it comes with screen protector and mini stylus.

Mine came with them too. I paid £2.75 gbp for it and it's brilliant. Lol. I'm well impressed. I'm an electrician so i needed something tough to look after my phone

I'm impressed with my i-Blason Armorbox (has a built in screen protector)

Recommended case

I bought the spigen clear case which is a very good case however as it is clear it always looks dirty and gathers muck inside the case which you can see as it is clear.
I also love the feel of the n5 without the case. Is there a case out there for me that still offers good protection and feel?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

No. All cases surround the sides and back of the device, and alter the way the device feels in the hand.
That being said, I had the ringke slim case on my nexus 5, and now I have the spigen slim armor case. Both cases added bulk to the device, and I stuck with the slim armor because it has a soft touch back and offers more protection.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

From what I heard, the Tech21 Impact case is fairly slim and is protective. However, it also has a clear back so you might run into the same problem. I also use the spigen slim armor. and I agree what the person above me said. It does add bulk, however I like the way it feels because its a soft rubber. It seems like it's fairly protective too.

I very like to fell my phone like brand new every time, so cannot use without case.
I bought an official case and very happy with it.
Maybe, someone suggest a nice shockproof case like UAG case for galaxy s4?

why dont buy spigen neo hyprid.

the diztronic tpu case is honestly one of the best cases. Feels REALLY CLOSE to the original feel of the phone and as long as your not someone dropping your phone from 5 feet on a regular basis I don't see any problems with it. I had a diztronic on my s3 and it fell off the top of our car while I was driving down the road and not a scratch on the thing (luckily it landed on the back and not the screen)

I bought Diztronic voyeur case and cant never be happier

Spigen Neo Hybrid is a great case
