Slimmest case that has camera protection?

Basically just what the title asks. Can anyone point me to the slimmest case available that offers some protection for the camera? Thanks in advance.

I am using the Spigen one. I think it is the slimmest that still protects for the camera bump.

I went through quite a few cases and ended up purchasing the Nillikin case and absolutely love it. I needed a case with added grip and some camera protection.

It does not protect the top and bottom like many snap on cases but is thin and has a raised area around the camera. I'd be comfortable laying the phone on a flat surface now. I have the spigen rugged armor which is thicker and protects the entire phone.

Looks sweet. Thanks.

Can't comment on Nillkin or Spigen cases, never had them. I went Ringke Fusion on the LG G4 and have never looked back. Received my v20 case today (clear/smoke) and put it on. It's VERY marginally recessed compared to where the camera bump is. Is perfectly flat/balanced on an even surface, so you can operate the phone one-handed on the desk if you need to.
My recommendation is to leave the plastic film on the back of the phone where the camera is, any protection you can give it without affecting photo quality will help. I just need a good screen protector now...
Hope that helps.

I'm using the Encased Slim Shield... I like it. Thin, covers everything (camera protrusion as well), fits perfectly, & feels nice in the hands.

Nillkin also makes one that is a TPU case. I had it on my N6P & it was really nice. I opted for the Encased this time because I wanted a hard case, TPU never keeps it's full shape after a while..

Spigen... very nice case

Spigen rugged armor.. it's thin, nice looking and protects all that is needed
http://www.spigen.com/collections/lg/products/rugged-armor-lg-v20-case

I tried the Spigen Liquid Crystal Case and it is the most minimalist but doesn't have enough protection in my opinion.
I ended up returning it not for that reason, but due to the "yellow" tone of the case itself...I contacted Spigen and they are looking into replacements.
I purchased the Ringke [Fusion] Clear PC Back TPU Bumper in Smoked Black...perfect fit and better protection that looks great with the Titan V20.

If you want something with protection while being slim, I'd suggest the UAG LG V20 Plasma Feather-Light Rugged. Been using it since I got my V20 and it's slim and light with plenty of grip, originally I thought that it'll be big and bulky like the OtterBox cases but it's slim enough and knowing it's UAG you don't really have to worry about protection. Even tho it's pricy it's worth it.

You can consider using the Verus crystal bumber case, this and others like spigen to name a few are your only option, just keep the protection film on for added protection, for me I also added a tempered glass protector for both camera lens without any affect what so ever.

I ended up buying this case. It arrived today and my search is now over. There's simply no way a V20 case could be slimmer than the Nillikin while still offering camera protection. It's awesome. EXACTLY what I was looking for, so thank you!
The top and bottom are protected well enough with the lip extensions on each end.

I bought this off aliexpress, and it's pretty great. perfect fit and some improvement in grip.
http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=6497&page=1
downside is, it's glossy and quite the fingerprint magnet especially in a humid country like SG, and the alignment is slightly off for the fingerprint/home button.
otherwise, the port covers are awesome and it'll definitely prevent the lint buildup.
looking to get a tempered glass next.
also, for SG sets, it comes with a promotional pack of 3 back protectors and 2 iRing and a screen protector. will upload pictures soon!

I agree, one of the thinniest case around with the best protection, the case has a built in dust cap for both the charging port and headphone socket.

Actually it was you who I quoted, but I though you went for the tpu one by nillkin, not the hard case, so yes, it was a mistake on my part.

The Spigen Rugged Armor. 12 bucks on Amazon.

I'd change my phone because i broke the screen and i dont want my OP3T to die like that .
Thanks

You'll struggle to find someone with all 3 to give an accurate review.
my suggestion is use youtube and work out which one best suits your needs.
this is what i did and i decided on the spigen rugged Armour case.(the neo hybrid wasn't available at the time).
ive dropped my phone twice and its survived both times. i also take it mountain biking so i goes through a lot..
it looks nice too.

I have the spigen rugged armor and its great, nice protection, confortable and it looks amazing!
If you want the best protection case buy rinho shield.

I was on galaxy s7 with rhinoshield bumper and i loved it...now i'm on 3T and i want to rebuy the rhinoshield but there are only 2/3 colors red excluded...i'm thinking in alternative to buy this in red color manufactured by diztronics

And what about flip covers ?

I got the Nillkin Nature TPU case... its fantastic with the OnePlus 3T. Does it's job. The reason I bought this case is because I have the original OnePlus 3T Curved Screen Protector installed on it, and it's the only case that doesn't push the screen protector off its edges.
Here is a link if you want to see how it looks: http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=&id=6263&page=1
and
here is a video review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMIagklQJjw

Rhino shield user here. I've used various Spigen on other phones. My favourite case of all time, which I used on a Note 5, was the Ringke fusion, but that wasn't available when I got my 3T, is available now and at a good price.
I like the Rhino because it's minimal and you can still feel the lovely bare metal of the body and appreciate the colour of the back. I have dropped my phone a couple of times and it landed face down and has remained unmarked, If you like to swap cases, then stay away from the Rhino, it's too much of a pain to keep removing. I've also found the slider has missed a couple of times - no big deal. Also, the cut outs limit the width of the head phone jack and charging cable (the original cable is fine).
Personally, I think the Rhino is over priced (£22 in the UK).
Although I'm not unhappy with the Rhino & don't regret buying it, I'd probably go Ringke fusion from Amazon for every day use and Spigen slim armour when I want more protection.
Hope that helps.

I use "Shock proof case with stand"
Let it be any company/brand, everything is just the same, I'd remove the stand and use it as a normal case which is very sturdy at the edges, I use this type of case for all my mobiles Moto g2, Moto g4 plus, Oneplus 3T. Cheers
https://www.amazon.com/OnePlus-Shockproof-Rugged-Protective-Kickstand/dp/B01FVA9SG0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1487722758&sr=8-3&keywords=shockproof+case+for+oneplus3

I have both Spigen Rugged Armor and RhinoShield Crashguard.
I once dropped my 3T when it's in Spigen with screen facing down the concrete (it slipped from my hand when I took it out from my jeans tight pocket) and fortunately, the screen survived without any cracks.
I don't have a chance yet to drop my 3T when it is in RhinoShield (I don't want to. LoL). But my personal favorite (and current daily case) is RhinoShield because of its open back design so I can feel the 3T "space grade" alumunium casing
However, with RhinoShield at first you gonna feel that it is too hard to remove and re-install the bumper. But if you watch carefully their official video guide on how to remove and install this case you should be fine. Now I can remove and install this bumper with ease.
Also, another downside is, I cannot use my Sennheiser HD202 headphone with Rhino installed, my other headphone is Audio Technica ATH-M50x is just fine.

Mine is tudia tamm rugged carbon fiber texture case, dopped my phone 2x while typing, slipped from hands while taking it out from my pocket but nothing happen to my 3t phone, not even a scratch on the display, got no screen protector, i pulled the pre applied screen protector as it doesnt work well with the tudia case

I finally bought the Spigen rugged Armor with Orly screen protector. I have a good feeling with it but i'll maybye buy the RhinoShield later.
I'm still taking your opinion if some one else want to buy it !

The Rhino shield is very tough, but there is a down side, it is really really slippery. Also it it very very hard to take off.
I returned mine got the Spigen rough armor and i like it better. Not as slippery

@rhinoshield crash bumper was great, but my only downside was. thr qrphone cannot fit. too small

Do you guys know any tempered glass that can fit with the rhinoshield bumper case ?

Protective Case

I always rock an Otterbox Commuter case on my phones mainly for work conditions can get rough at times. From what I've seen, Otterbox is only offering their Defender series (too big and bulky) and their Symmetry series (thinner, one piece case). I've decided to go with the Symmetry series and I'm pleasantly surprised. It definitely adds a little bit of bulk, but not as much as the Commuter, while offering great all-around protection. The one piece design is easy to put on and remove (unlike previous Symmetry cases I've tried on other phones). I do wish that there was a bit of grip on the sides like the Speck Presidio series cases, but I like the design. Unfortunately the only options were clear, pink, or black.... so I went with black.
So what's your choice for a protective case? Share pics and comments.

I too normally use the Otterbox defender for my phones but I wanted to try something new. I bought a poetic revolution for myself and a supcase unicorn beetle pro for my wife. They appeared a little slimmer and had port covers which I wanted. Amazon says they will arrive tomorrow so I shall see.

I had the unicorn beetle pro for my Nexus 6 and it's a nice cheaper alternative to the defender, but it still adds more bulk than the commuter case. I may look into the poetic case though. Let me know how they work out for you. ?
I went to Best Buy and tried out the Defender case. Definitely too bulky and I hate the built in screen protector (and it doesn't sit well over a glass screen protector, even if you take out the built in one).

You may not like the poetic as it has the built in screen protector. I'm used to the bulk of the defender so I'm not a great judge of the size. I will tell you the poetic is smaller then the supcase unicorn beetle. Built in port covers are nice too, overall it is a smaller rugged case you can say.

just received the Poetic Karbon Shield Slim Fit Case With Anti-Slip Side Grip and Carbon Fiber Texture. it's a slimmer-fit case that offers (what i believe is) more protection than a thin TPU case. sharing pictures for those interested to know how it fits the G6. i also have tempered glass screen protector on the phone as well. you'll also notice in the first pic that wireless charing works with the case on the phone. i usually go with a much thinner case but i really like the look and feel of this one. will give it a week or so before i decide if it's a keeper. (please excuse the dust in the pictures - our HVAC ducts were being cleaned when i took these pictures).

Went from a Note 3 with Otterbox Commuter to a G6 with Spigen "Tough Armor" case, and am satisfied with it. Feels like it provides just as much protection as the Otterbox Commuter, yet not adding quite as much bulk. I'm kinda rough with my phones sometimes, and I'd have peace of mind if I were to accidentally drop my G6 from waist-height or so.
If you choose to go with Spigen, definitely buy it off Amazon, rather than directly from Spigen's website; it's cheaper off Amazon.

I just ordered this one on Amazon. Saw the office and couldn't pass it up. Glad to see it looks good, and works well with a glass protector. I got the Spigen glass 2 pack as I've always liked everything Spigen makes.
Was gonna get the unicorn beetle that I had for my s7e, but don't think I need that much protection on this one, plus no edge screens that I need to prevent my palm from hitting lol.
Update: I hate the Karbon case. Doesn't fit tightly and leaves gaps at the edges on the front. I guess for $8 it'll hold me over until I get a good case, but this one is not staying pass this weekend.

Do you have pics of what it looks like on your phone?
Thanks!

So guys I'm searching for a good protective case that doesn't add too much bulk. I'm torn between the Poetic Revolution and the Supcase Unicorn Beetle. I like the way the Poetic looks except for the cutout on back, I prefer the Unicorns Cutouts. If anyone here has any pics to share, that be awesome. Or unless someone has another case to throw in the mix. THanks

Liked and subscribed for no other reason than the Last of the Mohicans soundtrack playing in the background. One of my favorite soundtracks.
I agree with your assessment on the UAG. I was not impressed with its quality, fit, and finish, especially for a $40 case. It's really a $17 to $19 case. I am rocking a cheap case currently, similar to the Spigen but just a TPU case.

I like my ghosted case. It fits well and it seems protective.

just bought the Ringke Air LG G6 case from Amazon, comes in Clear and Smoked, really like it

So guys I need some opinions here. I torn between two cases and would like some help deciding. I can't decide between the two.
1. Ringke Fusion: https://goo.gl/tGKqRx
2. Spigen Ultra Hybrid: https://goo.gl/9sd0jZ
Any pros and cons would definitely help. Thanks.

I just got this phone for my wife and we got a cheap case at a small phone shop. The problem with the case is its hard to swipe the side of the screen on the left side because of the lip on the case.
Do any of these have that issue?

What did you end up getting?
I just got the Spigen, because I was happy with this case on previous phones. I'm disappointed by this case for 3 reasons:
Gap at fingerprint button and camera openings allow dust and dirt to get underneath case
Back of case is very slippery because the edges curve in
Back plastic makes direct contact with whatever surface you put phone on. So the back will get scratched as it slides around.
I'm thinking of getting the Ringke, but Amazon reviews state dust gets in from the back openings (like the Spigen) and it's loose on one side. I guess the curved back of the G6 is the reason. The opening for the fingerprint sensor is not chamfered on the Ringke. The Spigen cutout is chamfered and smaller. Using the fingerprint sensor is comfortable and precise on the Spigen. The Ringke has TPU feet on the back corners, so it won't slide on a surface and the back plastic won't get scratched. I like how the Ringke comes in smoked black, whereas the Spigen is only available in clear (which will yellow eventually).

So I went with the Ringke Fusion ink black with clear back and it does get dirt and debris around cutouts. I should have gone with the smoke back because the clear is a fingerprint magnet. I'm constantly wiping the back off as it looks horrible with all them smudges on it. But besides that it's an ok case. But I am in search of a new case as I'm tired of this one now lol.

Best clear case for LG G6. UAG vs Spigen vs Poetic vs Ghostek
I loved my Spigen case. It has fit precisely on my LG G6 and provides ultimate protection.

I loved the feel of my Spigen case, but it's definitely a finger print magnet and yellowed over time, and it picked up blue from my jeans, so it's a mess. I wish they had the same case available in solid colors or at least tinted. I moved on to a Spigen thin fit hard shell case for now. No more clear cases for me.

I will suggest Spigen cases for LG G6 .

Case reviews: Rhinoshield CrashGuard & SolidSuit, Zeking Ultra Slim, Crave Slim Guard

Case reviews: Rhinoshield CrashGuard & SolidSuit, Zeking Ultra Slim, Crave Slim Guard
i've used a number of cases that you can easily purchase from amazon before including the spigen tough armor, spigen neo hybrid, spigen crystal shell, ringke fusion and the rhinoshield crashguard. I think the 2 most important aspects of a good phone case is reinforced corner protection and elevated front edge to protect the screen. When I got the pixel 2 XL, I started looking for a slim yet protective case and I ended up trying the 4 cases below. I used each case about 1-2 weeks and thought I'd share my thoughts. I did receive the Rhinoshield cases from the company for free but they are not involved with my write up in any way, shape or form.
The photos attached are in accordance to the order of which the cases are reviewed.
Rhinoshield CrashGuard bumper case:
This was my favorite case when I had my galaxy s7 and when I moved on to the LG G5 then G6, I was disappointed to find out that they don't make the CrashGuard for them.
From my experience using this case with the galaxy s7 (which I had for about a year before it was stolen...), this case simply works. I am not the best when it comes to handling my phone therefore it gets dropped a lot; this case really does the job well when it comes to impact protection while being minimalistic. During the past 2 weeks with the case, I've dropped my pixel 2 a few times from different heights, mostly from standing height and some from when I get out of the car and the case has been effective. According to Rhinoshield, their cases have a 11.5 ft impact resistance rating which supposedly far exceeds the " US MILITARY DROP TEST STANDARD".
Many others have commented on how slippery this case is. Well, it is and that's because Rhinoshield now coats the cases to make them more stain resistant. For me, personally, I don't mind as I find it easier to slide in and out of my pockets.
Some physical changes I've noticed is that the case fits A LOT more snug to the point where it is quite difficult for me to take the phone out of the case. That's an inconvenience for me as I fly a drone here and there and in order for the phone to fit into the remote controller I have to take the case off. Now I may have to buy a separate phone holder for the remote controller. Another change that's worth pointing out is that in my old s7 case, the raised lip on the back of the case was more pronounced at the corners and the top and bottom edges. This gave me more of a piece of mind since it is a bumper case and the back of the phone is exposed. However, it seems like they have eliminated that from their design of the new cases and I wish they kept that. Lastly, now you can change up the color of the power button but the colored buttons have to be purchased separately. The power button is very responsive but the volume rocker you'd have to press a little bit harder.
Other non-noticeable changes they've made since I had their case for the s7 is they now use a different material (fancy name 'ShockSpread Material') for their cases which is suppose to be lighter, thinner but just as protective and durable.
The case is friendly with their screen protectors, as well with the Sparin TPU screen protector that I got from amazon. In terms of skin, it will not work with the Dbrand precision fit skin but fine with standard fit. However, it will leave an indent on the standard fit skin as shown in photos.
Lastly, if you happen to have a Feiyu tech SPG-c gimbal, with the heaviest counterweights the phone with this case just barely works.
Rhinoshield SolidSuit
Overall, very similar to the CrashGuard bumper case.
I'll highlight the differences:
- compatible with the RhinoShield add-on lens
- of course, heavier and bulkier (heaviest of the 4)
- feels very solid because of the overall construction, as well the back is protected
- most of the finishing is the same as the CrashGuard, however the back of mine has the carbon fiber finishing which I guess made it less slippery
- volume rocker is much more responsive than the CrashGuard
- did not work at all with the Feiyu tech SPG-c gimbal
Zeking ultra slim TPU case from amazon canada
In my opinion, very good case. For less than $10, you get padded corner protection plus raised front edge without much added bulkiness; this is just as good as cases such as ones from Spigen or Ringke but for 1/3 or 1/2 the price.
It is made of TPU and I haven't had the case long enough to speak about yellow-ing, but the TPU feels decent not cheap. On the inside of the back of the case, there are these microdots and I can't understand their purpose. You can actually feel them when you brush you finger across. The side buttons are responsive, clicky. A really thoughtful and unique design is that along the sides of the case the TPU's texture is different and it allows for better grip (almost like there's a very smooth sandpaper strip). The advantage of this case in comparison to the two Rhinoshield cases above is that it does feel slimmer in hand.
When it comes to impact protection, it doesn't have that "over 11 ft of impact protection" that's marketed for the Rhinoshield cases, however the few times I dropped the phone in this case it was completely fine.
I did try to use this case with the Dbrand 'precise fit' skin. It will not work well with the skin if you have the tendency to take your phone in and out of the case. As i took my phone out, it lifted the skin that goes around the the corner on the side of the phone. On the other hand, the 'standard fit' skin did just fine. In terms of screen protectors, it is compatible with the Sparin TPU screen protector as well as the protectors from Rhinoshield.
Similar to the Rhinoshield CrashGuard, this barely worked with my Feiyu Tech SPG-c gimbal.

This case is very similar to the Ringke Fusion in a sense that both have the TPU bumper that goes around the case, and the clear polycarbonate back. This case, however, has a very pronounced elevated front lip to the point where it almost feels like the phone is sunken in inside the case. It's very good if you're looking for extra raised front protection, however when you're swiping left or right on the screen you will feel the edge more so than the other cases. It may help if the company just round off the raised edges a little bit more. A thoughtful part of their design is that they raised the back corners a tiny bit; my guess is they are there to raise the back a little bit so when you sit the phone on a flat surface it doesn't scratch up the polycarbonate back. All the buttons super responsive and clicky; probably the best buttons of the 4 cases. The phone does feel pretty slim in this case and I think even slimmer than the Zeking TPU case. I don't remember dropping my phone while using this case, but based on its construction it should do just as good as the Ringke Fusion case but definitely not as good as the other 3 cases above.
Overall I think this case is just as good as the Ringke Fusion if not better protection because of the pronounced elevated front edge. Keep in mind, from my experience using these cases with a polycarbonate back they will get scratched up over time and you will see more finger print smudges.
When it comes to compatibility with skin and screen protectors, it is the same as above.
Similar to the Rhinoshield CrashGuard and ZeKing ultra slim, this barely worked with the Feiyu Tech SPG-c gimbal.
Long review but hope this helps. I will start another post for my screen protectors review as well as a review of the add-on lens from RhinoShield.

Nice reviews! Kudos
My fav is the Zeking ultra slim TPU!

Not related to the topic, but can you tell me where you get the yellow skin for your Pixel? I'm interested in that yellow lock button.

The yellow power button is from rhinoshield. you can purchase the colored buttons separately on their site and it's compatible with their cases.

Thanks for your detailed review. One thing is that I tried Ringke Fusion and Crave Slim Guard; I think Ringke Fusion does provide a bit more of FRONT lip, doesn't it?

I don't have the exact measurements and my experience with the ringke fusion is with the lg g6 case. To me it seems like the crave slim guard has a slightly more raised front lip than the ringke fusion but then i am not comparing apple to apple.

Update:
I stuck with my RhinoShield Crashguard and it has protected my phone... extremely well. I have lost count how many times I've dropped it face down, down the stairs, and more.... yep, a bit clumsy with phones.
I stayed at this villa in Bali, and it literally tumbled down these stairs from top to bottom..and my phone remains immaculate. (except when i was in Bali I decided to use it briefly without the case..and of course I dropped it..... )
Included photos of the case with the worst scratches and also...the staircase where it literally bounced its way down...
