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.

I can tell you this case is worth buying. Fits perfectly. Feels good on your hand.

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,
Right now the only option I have seen is the Case-Mate barely there case.
What other options are out there? I want them to be as thin as possible.
I have the i9100 global version.
There's nothing thinner than diabloskinz (see demos on youtube).
It will add "some" protection, without the added bulk of a full size case.
i use cygnett form.. very slim. you can also try capdase or momax
SGP ultra thin air, for a barely there feeling
I use incipio NGP case.
Tis niceeeee

I have a Momax ultra thin case. For this price it is really good - fits tightly and is rather grippy. If you want I can post some pictures of it on the device.
I want some pictures of momax, please buddy=]

x2! would like to see pics too!
Just bought this case from ebay.
Very slim but still I prefer a little thicker case.
I have the Nillkin one. Bought from here:
http://www.obostore.com/nillkin-ult...eplate-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-p-1004.html#show
It took some time to arrive but it's pretty good.
I have the Case Mate BARELY THERE frome here :
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-Barely-There-Cases.asp
It's seems the same form factor as the Nillkin.
The price is different.
The case mate is like the back of my old htc Hero, very smooth.
You have access to all the buttons and you can put any Jack 3,5mm without conflicts.

How good it fits to the phone? Does this case scratch the phone?
Thanks!
Looking to get the slimmest case I can. What's the best slim hard case? I had the ringke slim for my nexus 5 and liked it. Looking for something like that for my Moto x. Thanks.

I used the Incipio Feather for the past 2 years and loved it, but decided to give one of these a go. They are both the same just with a different name sticker. Build quality seems similar to the Feather. Overall, very happy.

I got the black smoke one they have on the Motorola site. I think its made by Incase. I found it on amazon for cheaper so I bought it there. Its not really black and more like clear smoke. I have the dev edition so it looks good and you can still see through the back and it has that soft touch feel that the ringke slim has on my galaxy nexus. I also like that it does not cover the M dimple on the back.

I'm using the Anker one and I like it a lot. Nice texture, and it barely adds any bulk to the phone.:good:

I have the same one and I like it a lot but I miss the dimple
The power support shell is slimmer than the in case and comes with an anti scratch coating. The shell is nice in that there are no seams on the inside so it has less chance of scratching your phone. Haven't had the chance to really test it as I'm waiting for my moto x replacement but I'll snap some pics afterward. If you are into the hard minimalist case big don't want to introduce scratches, this seems the best option for now.

Received Anker case. Despite being sandy texture, the case is very slippery.
It also does not protect all corners. Highly disappointed, because its look is very nice.
Why don't all cases have the moto indentation on the back confuses me.
i bought both the poetic pallete and the bear motion cases. of the 2, i like the bear motion better with the grippier texture. However, that said, neither fit my phone well at all and won't stay locked into place. YMMV
I have bought the anker sandpaper, incipio feather, poetic, as well as two bumper cases from some HK-based vendor. Of the 3 minimalist "cases", I use the incipio the most. Truth be told, the poetic has a better (but nearly identical) texture to it, but the bottom is shaped in such a way where it digs into my small finger when holding it (I have my finger running parallel along the very bottom). If the incipio kept the dimple, it'd be my daily driver. I use the bumper cases more often than not and whenever I do grab one of the minimalist ones, it's always the incipio.

I have the Incipio Folio which includes a feather. Basically, you have a the feather case, and then you can snap that into a wallet style flip case. The only gripe I have about the feather is it contours to the phone too well... If you have the phone on a flat surface it just spins and flops around if you poke at it.
I have the Sparin (http://amzn.to/2xeWdYF) case which is two piece. The size and outside texture are great but the buttons are a little big on the side. I have butt-dialed and turned off the phone inadvertently a couple of time. Any alternatives that are close with more streamlined controls?

That actually looks great. Are the buttons part of the inner liner or separate?

It's ok. The inner TPU(?) isn't as soft as my previous Spigen and the metallic-like part of the case seems really flimsy. When installed tho, it stiffened right up and bulks the phone up making it much easier to hold. The molded buttons are part of the inner case and make the phone button very hard to press. I'm hoping they will get easier with use. It protects the camera bump and the does appear that it will protect the phone well. The metallic-like back is grippy and helps keep the phone from sliding around.
It's a good looking case for $10.
