Yeah, I guess that's what I am.
I had to get a case for my new Moto G5 Plus.
Initially, I had purchased a Poetic model. I went that route because none of the major brands had put out a new case for this device.
And of course UAG (Urban Armor Gear) came out with one just days after I received delivery of the Poetic case.
The Poetic case was nice, but it didn't give me what I needed, which was certified drop protection, better overall feel in the hand, and full front and back surface protection.
You can check this case out at https://urbanarmorgear.com/products/motorola-moto-g5-plus-case
Gift me one ??

Whats the thinnest case for gnex besides the ringk rearth case.. $25 beans is to much for a case thats not gonna protect the phone much...
Sent from BANGER's gNex
was just about to start a thread on this!
I bought the Ringke for $25.99, let's see how it goes.
I googled for thin cases and came up with this 0.4mm case (there was another eBay link but seems like the seller's closed his store):
http://www.cell-phone-home.com/tran...ng-galaxy-nexus-i9250-p-876.html#.UFrBufFODJU
$10.99 with free international shipping
Will update on how it fits compared to the Ringke, when it arrives.
SGP Ultra Hybrid. thinnest case.
I've dropped my phone with the ringke on and my phone is completely fine. If you're the extra clumsy type than I don't think you should be looking for the "thinnest case". The ringke protects in all the right areas.
Poetic became a popular case manufacturer after it released its line of cases for the Google Nexus 4. With the release of the HTC One, Poetic has come back with several new cases. Today, we reviewed their bumper case, the Poetic Borderline. Although we felt it was a bit flimsy, as far as bumper cases go, it was simply average. While the materials were of fairly good quality, the case doesn't adequately protect the back of the HTC One. Don't let the fact that the power button is covered turn you away from this case. Poetic will be sending out an updated version for free to everyone who purchased this version. Even though it is only $9.95 on Amazon, we can't recommend this bumper to anyone who is looking for a case that protects the back of their phone. Otherwise, it is a decent, low cost bumper case.

This case+a back skin would at least protect the back from scratches and give s little drop protection, yes? Would the bumper cause back skins to push up around the edges? How much width does it add to the phone? More or less than a TPU case?

Yes, as I mentioned in the review, if you install a skin on the back, it will be protected from scratches. As long as the skins are seated proper, this case won't push them up. I attached a picture comparing it to the Diztronic TPU case.

had my bad experience with nexus 4 bumper, started to peel off the rubber from the plastic. This will be the same thing again, I even bought 3 because I thought I got a defective item, If I buy a bumper for my htc one, it wont be from poetic.

Poetic claims they updated the build, but only time will tell. I'm not sure if the warranty is valid in PR, but in the US they'll send you a new bumper for free.
I can't decide between the two of these, anyone who owns these let me know what you think of the protection they offer.

I bought both. They marked them as shipped a week before they actually shipped them. I still haven't received them.
So, to me, they offer the same level of protection, which is zero.
For others, the buttons stick and cause random reboots. They subsequently have to take the cases off, which leads to zero protection.
My answer, is to buy from another company. Maybe Ringke, those are popular. So is Acase.
Amazon.com: Spigen Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Slim Armor] [Infinity White] Air Cushioned Protective Case with Dual Layer for Nexus 5 - Infinity White
The Slim Armor has a lot of protection. The inside of the back cover has raised cushions. The sides of the case are very large and feel almost like foam. I think this case would hold up very well if dropped.
Even still works with a wireless charger. I'm using the Nokia DT-900 here.
http://www.amazon.com/TUDIA-Melody-...&qid=1407537819&sr=1-8&keywords="Oneplus+One"
Yay, another new case! From Tudia, available for pre-order on Amazon.
I believe this will be the thinnest one we'll get. Don't care for the texture though.
I have used this one for several phones including my Nexus 5. I like it as it seems to be a little more grippy on the sides compared to the diztronic. I did not like the design on the back at first but it does not bother me anymore.
I bought 3 cases for my xl 2, and although the other two were nice cases, they weren't diztronic cases. The first one i bought was this ringke case, and it was a pretty solid case, though it was a little slippery and the texture on the back meant my popsocket wouldn't stick to the phone. The second one i bought is this one by a chinese company called x-level, it was a really interesting super thin tpu case, and was nice but didn't have a lip to protect the screen and was a little too thin for my liking(and my popsocket didn't stick to it well either).
After trying these two and them not working out, I did what I always do, I ordered a diztronic case which I received yesterday and it is perfect, just like every one I've had previous(Nexus 6, 6p, xl 1). Diztronic and Cruzerlite were the only companies I trusted with tpu cases and I used to swap between the two throughout the year, and now that Cruzerlite is gone, looks like my first and only choice from now on will be Diztronic, and you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that. Honestly, they are one of the best case manufacturers out there, consistently great products at a great price. The only thing I could complain about is the looks of their cases are a bit bland but I'm just accepting that functionality is more important.
I bought a diztronic case for my Shamu which I still carry on me and the only time it wasn't in the case was just to clean it every once in a while. I'm probably going to buy one for my pixel but just waiting to see if they come out with another variant with more corner protection.

5x to pixel now pixel XL 2..these cases never disappoint...
I swear by Diztronic. Put them on all my phones and recommend to everyone. I've won over a bunch of friends and coworkers who were stuck with crappy, ugly cases.
Yeah, I want to see some photos with the device.
Especially the thinnest side of it.
How is the grippy feeling? good grip?
DO you guys know if popsockets stick to the diztronic cases?
this probably doesn't apply for users of clear cases, but i used to swear by diztronic until i found caseology - much better build, fit, and drop protection while still remaining slim
