Thin case comparison/review- Incipio Feather vs. Casemate Barely There

I just got my Incipio Feather in the mail, and I must say I am very let down. When I looked at the picture on the website, I really thought that the case was going to wrap around the front but it does not. In all fairness, I did look at the picture again and it doesn't wrap around in it like I thought it did. The picture is very deceiving, the way they shade the Evo makes it look like the case wraps around, at least to me it does. Anyways...
The Incipio is a lot thicker than the Barely There, and doesn't come up as high on the sides either. That actually makes it feel rather awkward in the hand because there is a very pronounced lip around the whole phone. Also, the Incipio case has a full cutout, like a bite, from the front of the case for the volume rocker whereas the Barely There has a rectangular hole and covers the plastic in front of the rocker.
The Incipio also provides far less protection for the camera lens. With the Barely There, the lens is completely protected, it covers the edge of the glass, fully recessing the lens into the case. It has a separate cutout for the flash, lens, and speaker. The Incipio just has one gaping hole for all three to share.
My biggest complaint about the Incipio is that because it doesn't come up all the way around the sides, the face of the Evo sticks out from it and consequently the corners are not fully protected. If this thing takes a tumble on to concrete, there is a good chance your corner could still get scratched. With the Barely There case, while still not very protective, at least your corners won't get beat up.
The only positive about the Incipio is that I like the way the material feels better than the Barely There. It has a softer, almost velvety finish to it. The Barely There still has a nice rubberized texture to it, just not as nice as the Incipio's.
I see no reason at all to purchase the Incipio case when you can buy the Barely There case instead. The Barely There is thinner, feels more comfortable in the hand, and provides more coverage/protection. I am sticking with my Barely There case and will probably give the Incipio away.
Casemate Barely There
Incipio Feather
Both cases cost $19.99.

Thanks for the review ... appreciate it. Have you looked at the other Case Mate Evo case that is two part (Tough Case)? Just wondering about the protection and quality.

No I haven't, at least not in person. I'm sure it's a great case, and I know other people have had good experiences with it, but I personally don't like the way it looks compared to the OB Commuter case or the Seidio Active Limited, and I already have both of those.

Couple of quick questions for you ... since you have both. I had the Seidio Active Limited from Amazon, really liked the feel of it, but the plastic back began to peel off. I didn't replace it with another ... afraid the same thing would happen. Any issues for you? So I've been using the Otter Box Impact case, but since I keep my phone in my front pocket ... it can be a lint magnet. If you don't mind ... tell me about your experience with the Commuter case from OB. Thanks.

I have the exact same issue as you with the Seidio. I have actually gone through 3 of them now, and they all started peeling within a week. The first one I had one of the tabs broke off while putting the case on. It's a shame that the build quality is so crappy on them because I really like the design, and I think it's a little more rugged than the OB Commuter. Not by much though, it just has thicker silicone.
My only complaint about the Commuter, and I know a lot of people share the same feeling, is that the cover for the charging and HDMI ports was poorly designed. It is a pain to get it closed, and it never stays in place for very long. Also, the way they cut the silicone for that cover, it is subject to tearing. Mine hasn't torn, and neither has my buddy's, but I know some people have had that issue. The good news is that Otterbox, unlike Seidio, has no problem whatsoever sending out a replacement case if by some chance that piece tears off, or any other defect for that matter. Overall I think it is a great case and I use it regularly, and even with the small issue of that cover, I can still recommend it to people.

Thank you ... I'm thinking about trying the "Barely There" since I'm an "in pocket" guy.

You can barely tell that there is a case on the phone with the Barely There, hence the name. If you're an in pocket guy, then that is definitely the case you want. I use it way more than all my other cases combined.

get the barely there case, i have it and love it, and as they say, its hardly noticable. plus case-mate came out with a full frontal screen cover, so you have case protection on back and sides and a full screen cover to cover the remaining parts

You said my words exactly. I too am very let down with the Incipio Feather case. I also thought that it would at least have a lip that came over the front edge but nothing. I dropped my phone on the carpet(fortunately it was carpet) and it popped right out of the case. If you want protection I don't think this is the case to use. They could have done much better. I would have preferred one of the Incipio NGP cases to this thing.

I've been using the Barely There case for almost 2 months. I love the feel of it. The material holds well. The screen protector it came with is awesome. I hated the way stealthguards and invisible shield felt on the glass. The screen protector that the Barely There came with feels just like glass when it's on.
The only thing is that this case is just to protect against scratches and minor drops on carpet maybe. I dropped it once on concrete and the case flew off and I have a small dent on the top front corner of my Evo.

This is my experience exactly

I have the Seidio Rugged and it comes with the Innocase Surface as well and I really like the Surface, its not too thick and protects the camera lenses from scratches. I just need to get the belt clip for the Surface so outside of work I don't have all the bulk.

Barely there cases are counter-intuitive. If you want to protect a case against impact should you drop it, the case needs to be heavy enough to absorb most of the impact itself and not the phone. These barely there cases may protect from scratches on the phone body but that's it. So I guess you can safely slide the phone around on your desk but don't drop it.

the bottom flap on my commuter stays in place fine, also fits great in your pocket, unless your female and wear them skin tight the barely there doesn't have any lay on the table protection for the front glass, which is just too risky in my opinion.

Thanks, just order it. I had the ID case for the iPhone from them and that thing took a beating and never gave up. Hope to expect the same from them again

I still think the Otterbox Commuter is the best case out there. It doesn't add that much bulk, feels sturdy and protects like none other. Well worth the money.

[Q] Neoprene or hard Plastic?

Which one protects the phone more?
Also, are there any sleek, cost-effective ones (neoprene/plastic) for the GS2?
The main issue I've always had with protectors are that they add too much bulk to a phone.
Should I bother getting a screen protector considering how they use Corner Gorilla glass? My sister's captivate has a few minor scratches on the screen even though it's quite durable.

i have a sillicone cover on my s2 and i dropped it about 1.8 meters onto a tiled floor and it just bounced, no damage at all

I got this the other day:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150622947323?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
it's a black aluminum moulded back, with a silicone liner that goes around the phone. I'm *really* pleased with it. Protection feels great, it protects the camera and there's a silicone lip over the edge of the display which protects it.
Really chuffed with it and very cheap...

when you do see the scratches, it's too late then. that's why i use a screen protector. i want the gorilla glass to be flawless.

The only reason I don't like using a screen protector is because it makes the screen feel... plasticky.

Ditto. My 10" thick silicone cover on my s2 also does a remarkable job of protecting my phone. I dropped it 2 meters onto the floor and it has been bouncing ever since.
But seriously. Most good looking cases are hard plastic variants. Soft cases protect more but it ain't pretty usually. So there's a trade-off.

Touche. For my rebuttal. Hybrid cases still add more bulk as compared to hard plastic. One of the key selling points was how thin and and light the sgs2 was.

And because it's sooooo thin, a thicker case can still make it feel good in hand

Hybrid is nice, but it's Otterbox so it's expensive AND thick. I'd sacrifice some protection for style. I'm not going to war with this thing. I just want to protect it from some falls.
Are there any 2-in-1 plastic + silicone combos? The Otterbox one requires two pieces.

of course, one cannot expect a good protection if you keep your cases as thin as possible.
no way around it i guess. u want protection, u really have to add bulk.

There has to be a plastic + neoprene single piece casing out there. It makes perfect sense since it reduces thickness as well as offer protection from both materials.
I'm willing to pay a little more if this exists somewhere. No thick otterboxes.

Trident case or otterbox?

Was hoping Some one could point me in the right direction, I was either thinking of getting the otter box defender or the Trident aegis
I'm mainly concerned about dust getting in the phone and it seems like the otter box has good protection but dust seems to find its way in, has anyone had some experience with both cases out can confirm how well the Trident blocks dust?, thanks!

Yeah I saw your post earlier looks good, but was wondering does dust get under the case? And threw the ports? I'm told otter box is bad for that... I work in very dusty environments so I'm assuming that's the reason why my phone break down in less than a year, anyway would be helpful if I knew before I purchase !
Sent from my XT1034 using xda app-developers app

Well i have the otterbox commuter and its really great protection. And no dust will get in. Because you have to put a screen protector. And the otterbox defender the dust gets inside the protector. But the defender is stronger so idk.

I took out my Moto g out of its aegis case a few days ago. I didn't find a lot of dust inside. There was some very, very small quantities. I work at a electronics repair shop and there is some dust there. I suppose it could be a problem if someone works in a similar or worse environment.
Sent from my XT1034 using Tapatalk

I started the trident case thread, and for me there is no issue with dust. The trident case gives great protection without the bulk of the otterbox case. But if you plan on dropping it from 30 ft. up........

I have both the Otterbox Commuter and Trident Aegis cases, and I like the Aegis case more. I don't know how Aegis compares to the Defender, but the Commuter is denser and bulkier due to its curved back. Quite a bit of dust gets in around the screen edges since the silicone layer has a looser fit; even the port "doors" collect dust.
The Aegis case is thinner and trickier to put on (all the locks/slots/etc.), but it's been doing a wonderful job of keeping dust away from my device. It also has an additional dust filter on the plastic shell to keep more dust out of the speaker. The silicone layer can be a dust magnet especially by the port flaps, but I haven't found as much dust on my phone compared to when it was in the Commuter. The Commuter's optional screen protector only reaches the top edge of the display, whereas the Aegis's covers the screen with a cutout for the camera/speaker/sensor bits.

Commuter
I've never been a fan of the defender. From a structural point of view, it might offer better protection, but there's something about keeping my phone stuck to hard plastic all the time that gets to me.
It WILL scratch the phone. The commuter has never done that on all my previous phones. Which is why I have it ordered.
I don't know about the trident cases; frankly I'd never heard of them before; but to me, an otterbox is the epitome of main stream good quality and warranty backed cases that do their job 99% of the time, but yes, in a dusty environment, I don't think anything less than a waterproof case would suffice for absolutely ZERO dust.

I am also undecided...Aegis or Commuter.
I like the fact that the Aegis is less bulkier but I saw some negative comments regarding it:
The rubber bits that fit in the headphone and USB plugs don't fit snugly inside the ports and leave space around the rubber body. The plug bits don't stay inside and come out too easily and the space between gets filled with gunk.

The only thing that bothers me is the USB/Headphone jack covers have a grab tab to open the covers. This grab tab can snag anything that gets in the way with normal use and expose the ports. That defeats the whole purpose of the covers.

Click to collapse
The tabs for the silicone that covers the charging port and headphone jack are no longer pulled through the outer shell. To me this feels cheaper and almost negates the purpose of these covers to keep out debris. I can see the headphone silicone tab breaking in the future without this feature.

Port covers aren't quite what I expected as they don't seat in place quite like an Otterbox.

I have the SAME doubts about that topic! Can anyone clarify us?

anyone?

Ive had both. Not on this phone. But trident is just as good. Id compare it more to the defender series tho. Without as much bulk. It doesnt cover the speaker or camera. But does cover the ports. IMO i like trident better. Protection is closly comparable to the defender. But less bulk/easier to take on and off. I just ordered one off newegg for $19 free shipping. Best deal IMO
Edit: also. In my past experience, skinomi has been the best screen protectors. Completely clear, if applyed correctly you cant even tell its there. Their a bit pricey but worth it

I started off with the Trident. It looked like it could handle the load and the price was right. The Trident profile is trimmer than the commuter and therefore lighter. While I never drop tested the Trident it appears it can handle the shock. The slick hard shell had me concerned about easily dropping the phone. There are tabs on the port covers that after a few pocket pulls will expose ports and cause me to check port covers on every pocket pull. The Trident out does the Commuter in the categories of smaller size and they have a neat dust filter cover over the speaker grill.
But I know Murphy's Law only too well. So I got a commuter. I wish I bought it first. Had one on my first smart phone which passed every abuse test I gave it in 2.5 yrs. The commuter is not as bulky on the G as previous phone. The shell is textured for sure grip. The screen & camera/flash protection is better with the commuter. Tuck and roll port covers for a very streamlined case. The commuter case and gorilla glass gives me enough confidence to leave the screen protector in its wrapping. The commuter costs more but compared to insurance is a better deal. The commuter is my insurance on this Moto G and I feel secure.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

I have the poetic and truly amazing case and had her to yellow like my spigen did. After 3 months use on the poetic no issues at all

I ordered the Ringke smoked TPU case (no hard back plastic) because it's smoked and there's a 30% off coupon if you buy another Ringke product on Amazon.

I just received this clear TPU case for $2.58 on Amazon after coupon. Click the "Buy 1, get 35% off" link below the price and it the discount shows at the final checkout screen.

I'm returning the Spigen Ultra Hybrid.

Spigen is the best one.

Went with Poetic for corner protection & price

I used to like clear case, but overtime they turn yellowish

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 .
