What is the best thinnest case for the samsung captivate!
Don't know what your parameter for "thin" is but I found the TPU cases from ebay to be the best. I had tried a BodyGlove case and a generic silicone case but found them too thick (the silicone case looked ugly too IMO - dull & attracted too much lint). The TPU case I got from ebay has been great - glossy yet grippy. Adds about a mm top & bottom.
I have tried three different cases and found that thr "Body Glove" seems to be the one I end up using the most. It is very thin, tight fitting and feels good while holding the phone. There are really several good choices around. This is of course IMHO.

i use the bodyglove case with the diagonal lines on the back. my brother uses the sedio one that snaps in 2 and has the smooth body. the body glove is a little thinner and looks more stylish. both are around 15-20 dollars. i prefer the body glove one because of the back actually, just adds a little touch to an otherwise plain looking phone. both are nice because they dont pick up dust and lint like the cheapo 2 dollar ones. you can tell quality by the seams of the rubber and smell. you get what you pay for. if your phone is worth 400, why spend 2 dollars on a case right?

How much protection are you wanting exactly?
Just picked up the Body Glove yesterday. Really like it, doesn't collect dust and very thin. Good fit also.

Cheap, looks good (can't really see the pattern except at a certain angle), protects great, and is the thinnest protective case I've seen.
Check these out. They are not as sticky as regular silicone skins and they are fairly thin + cheap.

Body Glove is pretty darn thin. I have one but I replaced it with the Otterbox Commuter, just to change things up. Commuter is a bit thicker but I don't mind it at all so I am sticking with it. I do recommend the Body Glove though. Good sleeve.
Plus one for body glove.
Its perfect. Smooth enough that it comes out of pocket easy, but grippy enuff that I can throw it on dashboard without it flying off with the first turn I make.
I also think it looks great, fits perfectly, and I can hold the phone without dropping it-which is the reason I wanted it in the first place
are you looking for a hard case or skin? body glove or a tpu skin is your best bet for the thinnest protection but if you want a hard case then check out Seidio innocase surface
I just got a Xmatrix case (I think its a knock off as its not rubberized anywhere) but the fit is great and gives you a near naked feel. Covers the back and adds a bit to the front edge so the screen does not touch a flat surface if you lay it face down.

I just ordered this case - its the slimmest/nicest looking imho, I am currently using the otterbox defender case - which i like, its a bit on the bulky side, but does offer excellent protection - my only real complaint with it is that its a pain to get the the battery if needed - have to take the rubber off, then separate the case and remove the phone from it to gain access to the back cover...

Looks just like a TPU case which if you don't mind having a not as fancy case you can get the Amzer one on amazon for $5 shipped and the knockoff ones on ebay for about $3-4 shipped. But the case you linked to is one very nice looking case.
All nice looking cases. I may have to try the TPU out. Looks nice.

That Amzer case does it's job very well. It protects, looks good, thin and is subtle in a good way. The fact that it is now ~$6.00 makes it an absolute steal. I usually don't buy cheap stuff for my phone (or for anything for that matter) but this case performs like a $20 case.
Only issue I have with it is that mine seem to be less snug than it was when I first got it. I only take off my case when I have to do a battery pull so it's a bit surprising that it got loose so easily. I recently bought a Otterbox Commuter to replace this case because I was getting bored with it but I wouldn't say I changed because it was necessary; it was just cause I was bored and I found a good deal for it.
+1 for the xmatrix case. It's a hard case but very slim and is a good fit without any movement or shuffling. Plus, there is a minor lip on the front so you can rest it face down.
It snaps on in the back...just one piece.
Body glove for sure best slim streamline case

Hey guys,
Got my hands on another case, this time it is the Speck Candyshell. In my previous review we took a look at the Candyshell Grip, which a variation of this case. The Candyshell features a hybrid design with a glossy, hard plastic backing wrapped around an inner silicone layer. Probably the most stylish case in my opinion, this one offers great protection - although it is a pain to remove!
Check out the full review below:
Hi,
I really like the Speck cases, and I prefer the grip one over the original CandyShell. I have an white One X and that would look awesome with the black/white Speck case.
One question: How are the power/volume buttons one the Grip (black/white) CandyShell?
Thanks in advance!

They are very difficult to press, the only real downside of the case. It's funny, because the CandyShell has terrific buttons, but it is VERY hard to remove. Whereas the CandyShell Grip has terrible buttons, but is is very easy to remove. A mix of the two would be perfect!
I would love to buy the Speck Candyshell Grip, but it sucks how I can't order online and ship it to where I live.
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the Incipio Faxion today, this is a one-piece hybrid style case that offers great protection without adding excessive bulk. Made of a TPU and polycarbonate combination, the Faxion fits tightly on your Galaxy S3, ensuring a nice and solid feel. Ports and cutouts are perfect on this one, and although the back scratches up, at least the case is getting damaged and not your phone. Scratch & drop protection are very good since the combination of materials provides for great shock absorption and scratch protection. The case retails for 35$ from Incipio but you can find it for 20$ if you look around.

i quite like this one tbh ... will scour around for a cheap one because it looks nice

It's a terrific case! Unless you absolutely love it, stay tuned for my CandyShell review since they are similar cases, that way you can decide which of the two you like better.
Will be travelling to very remote sites in Africa in a couple of months and I will need some protection for the One.
I have the Pelosi, which I think is a fake and it adds 0.1% of protection if you know what I mean.
My wife still has the UAG for the S3, which used to belong to me, which has done a more than perfect job over the last 2 years. Phone and cover still look brand new despite having to be in harsh conditions.
So basically I am looking for a rubberish TPU type that protects corners in a fall.
there is no real case for the one.. the best you can get is some tpu case , i have the TUDIA case and its fine..
but its not Otterbox
the new TUDIA looks promising
TUDIA Slim-Fit CYGEN Dual Layer Protective Case for OnePlus One
The best I've found is the new tudia case ! I have it and love it !
I have the Cruzerlite Bugroid and I assure you that covers perfectly the phone.
I have the Diztronic tpu case and the Rearth Ringke Fusion case. Both cases are great but the Ringke Fusion provides more protection. I would highly recommend buying it.
ive got the tudia cygen dual layer.. the inner rubber part fits perfect, and the hardshell fits about 95% perfect. It bows a little at the bottom where it wraps so the corners dont wrap quite as snug on the bottom as it does on the top. Other than that, this is my favorite case so far. Ive got10 or so cases for my OPO and this one by far has stayed on the phone the longest.
Hi guys,
I was looking for a cheap silicone case / back cover for my 9305.
I have recently purchased a pack of 2 genuine plastic cases, but they are made of hard plastic, and they are kinda slippery.
I'm actually looking for a silicone one, one of those that does not slip off your hand (they have a little bit of viscosity, so to speak).
Can you recommend me one please? The cheaper the better, don't need anything fancy or whatever.
Thank you
I find these to be nice: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/S-Line-TPU-G...hash=item5d4c275f0c:m:m_bnJ6uxION29tht8rdbcXg
They have a grippy side and is not to difficult to put on and remove.
