Video Review: SGP Ultra Thin Air Case

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on SGP's new Ultra Thin air case. This is a standard snap back case that differentiates from most by being the thinnest I've seen around, it is RAZOR thin. This leads to an almost naked feel, adds very little bulk and weight but at the same time it won't protect much. It features a UV crystal coated backing which has smooth & comfortable feel. The case comes included with an Ultra Nano Clear screenshield, so it is good value for money too.
Check out the full review below:

I can't say I see the point. It's decorative, but not really functional. This won't protect anything.

Yeah - as I mentioned this only protects from scratches so if you need drop protection, avoid this. For light users or if you want something very slim, this is a good option.

If only it covered the top and bottom and had a slight lip on it, it would be great for me.

I love SGP but that made by sgp on the side is taking the branding too far.
I ordered the SGP Modello which looks quite nice. We will see how it turns out.

Some people seem to think so, it doesn't bother me too much to be honest. The Modello looks cool, I'd love to hear what you think of it.

nice video mate...i prefer my 5$ ebay case because i am cheap,ha ha but not a bad case

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.

Evocell $10 or less. 3 layered case with holster. Thin and protective. Found on Amazon. Search Evocell LGV20.

Is RhinoShield worth it ?

Hello guys,
I got my OP3T from one week now, and i've been looking for various threads about cases.
I'm wondering wich one is the best by the RhinoShield, the spigen rugged Armor and the spigen Neo hybrid ?
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

Colors are not a problem for me, i'm just looking for a good protective case
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

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 ?

[REQ] Spigen Neo Hybrid Case "After a while review"

Hi im looking to decide between the Spigen Neo Hybrid and Spigen rugged armor. I have read many reviews but none of them seems legit, so any user who have any of these cases please confirm this for me:
SPIGEN NEO HYBRID:
1. Does the sides of the plastic bumper tuns yellow after a while of use like a month or two? and if it does looses its color can i buy the bumper separately?
2. Does it provide better protection on drops as compared to the rugged armor?
SPIGEN RUGGED ARMOR:
1. Is the case too slippery?
2. How is the drop protection on this case?
I'm looking for protection over looks so please help me make a valid choice, and if you think that both the cases sucks feel free to suggest me the one you prefer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have the Spigen Rugged Armor, this case is good looking if you don't mind that the OnePlus logo is hidden with this case. This case also have a good grip and good drop protection.
I once dropped my 3T while using this case with the screen facing down the concrete. Fortunately, this case protected my screen from shatter. I recommended you get this case if you spend majority of your work outside office. Better safe than sorry.

I bought the Rugged Armor and I have to say I'm really impressed. It's thin, feels great and definitely isn't too slippery. The carbon fiber looks good too. The only issue is I'm not sure how much drop protection it would provide because like I say it is very thin. There's a lip over the screen but I can imagine the phone becoming disfigured underneath if it was dropped from an appreciable height. I'm usually quite careful though so I'm trying not to worry about that

Thanks for the reply guys I was slightly inclined towards the rugged armor my self, it looks frekin awesome. I'll go for it then.

Currently using the Spigen rugged armour as I was afraid of finger prints with the clear variant. Not as slippery as I expected and gives all the protection you need, saved my phone from a couple of drops and it is scratch free

I'm actually using both. I initially only had the rugged armor and then bought the Neo hybrid. I found with a glass screen protector the Rugged armor doesn't play well with it. With just a plastic screen protector the Neo hybrid looks really nice. I love em both though

I have one and it's not really a good "feel" for me. It's a great case, just not to my liking. I am rocking this one now: OnePlus 3T Case, OnePlus 3 Case, Nillkin Synthetic Fiber Premium Bumper Case Cover [Compatible with Magnetic Car Holder] for OnePlus 3T / 3 - Black. It's a lot like the OEM and fits great. With that and the LiquidSkin protector, I really like the slimness and the feel.

Been using the rugged armor for about a month.
- Not slippery
- Good protection
- Not too thick
- I think the CF is stupid. I want it plain.
9/10 would buy again.

Have had the OP3T with that case for 2 months now
1. No they don't. I just have one little scratch on the corner revealing a small white line (barely visible)
2. No idea since I haven't dropped the phone a single time. I can just say that the bumper makes the case kind of more slippery actually. Previously I rocked Spigen Ultra Hybrid on Nexus 5/Nexus6/Galaxy S6 and it was much more grippy. I felt much safer while for example on a bus, now I aim to hold it with two hands since I don't feel the grip this well. The Neo's advantage over Ultra Hybrid though, is the fact that the whole product is relatively soft and flexible so that it doesn't damage the device at all as UH used to with its back made of hard solid plastic.
9/10 very decent, non-bull**** and SOLID case anyway. Totally recommend it, the notices above are just the matter of my fussiness

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.

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
