a slim not slippery case ?

is there any good slim cases and not slippery back for galaxy note ?
dont want bulky but still want some protection ..

I have the elago G4 Slim Fit Case on my note atm, and I'm liking it so far. Not much in the way of protection, but it isn't slippery and the note + case still fits in my pockets.
One thing I would say though...it's a pain in the ^$#%#$% to get off once you get it on.

I use this very slim case that ONLY offers scratch protection. Very good to hold and has a matte finish so no finger prints.
Have a look at my review thread,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1504446

Slim, form fitting "case".
I like both the Incipio Feather UltraLight Hard Case (although it might snap/break as some have mentioned) and the Diztronic High Gloss Translucent Grey.
The Diztronic High Gloss is great, because it slides out of where ever you have it, mine is usually in my pocket and it doesn't pick up link. It's rather sticky and grippy, in a good way, doesn't feel like it will slip out of you hands or lose grip of the phone. It's very slim, so the phones slender sexy lines are kept and it shows through the semi see through material.
Both are very minimalist, the TPU protects slightly more, since it's a tad thicker, bouncy and raises above the screen face some.
That's IHMO, YMMV.

+1 for elago slim... I had a 4ft drop the other day with it on, and my note came out scratch free because it landed right on the corner of the case (whew).... using the elag + sgp protector and liking the setup so far.

I just ordered this one:

I will let you know how I like it when I get it next week. The Speck Fitted cases my wife has used on her iPhone 4 and 4s have been very durable and given great protection.

Can anyone recommend me an amazon s3 neo case?

Please recommended me

Watch the S Line case

From my experience, smartphones tend to be very sensitive devices: shock, scratch, temperature, humidity, sunlight...
Try to find a case with an excellent anti-shock protection... because trust me, you will drop it!!!
In my opinion, the Griffin Survivor and the Otterbox Defender may be somewhat ugly but, at the same time, are the best:
- Apart from the great anti-shock protection, the external rubberized shells on these cases provide an excellent grip on all surfaces, including on your hands, so they're actually kind of drop proof!
- The Defender's rubber shell tends to stretch out in no time so the Survivor is the #1 choice.
- On both cases, the screen shield is nasty. You should remove it and use the original protective film that came with your S3 Neo. If you feel necessary (I really didn't!), get a hard core tempered glass shield.
Hope this helps.

I'm using this Walnutt by Zenus case it's really awesome

[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 almost went with this case but I got this one instead. It's the Caseology.

This Poetic has been great for me after a few days of use. Lightweight, decent protection, and good grip.

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.

I would go for the Spigen Rugged Amor, it’s much slimmer and provide pretty much the same protection as the symmerty series http://www.the-reviewr.com/best-lg-g6-case/

Had that rugged armor for my v20 and loved it. Decided to go with the neo hybrid for the g6

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

Naked Look

For most of us, the holy grail would be to protect our shiny and expensive new toys without spoiling the looks.Some swear that going naked is the only way,eschewing protection for aesthetics, while others insist on building portable nuclear bunkers around their devices.
My solution is below.Glass protector and transparent case, in my opinion it looks 99% as good as a naked S8+.
The Zoto case is quite tight and needs precise alignment of the glass protector, I also had to stretch the corners slightly by placing it in hot water and then pulling at the corners.The Olixar case fits without any adjustments, but I found it a bit loose.

I don't like TPU cases. They feel sticky, retain oils, and quickly turn yellow.
A well made leather case (not wallet) is my preference. Feels great in the hand, develops a cool patina, and won't look gross if a little moisture gets trapped behind it.

There is that, but a little wipe and a dunk in soapy water now and again.

Im using a Spigen tough armor. Has a few scuff marks from drops and took off case recently and no damage what so ever. Must admit phone looks beautiful and feels great naked.
But its hard not puting my case back on for protection.

One thing is the look, but the feel is something else. After having the case on for two weeks, then take it out and use your phone without case and feel the difference. It's such a luxurious feeling you don't get with a case on
