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.

Thank you! Enjoy using it!

Looks nice and everything but no screen protection lip is a bit of a let down especially at this price.
Nillkin/Rock style cases offer better grip and protection and are cheaper.

A lot of people are mentioning that case, I should probably try and get it in for review. Looks like a pretty decent case.

Just received mine. Loving how thin this thing is while covering all the corners. The slight lip for the screen is better than expected.

Video Review: SGP Ultra Bumper Lumi Series Case

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the new SGP Ultra Bumper Lumi Series case for the Galaxy S3. If you're familiar with the Neo hybrid series case, this is a variation of that model - essentially using up the 'bumper' portion of the neo hybrid. The case is made out of a tough TPU and plastic combination which suits it well, it offers a tight and rigid fit that is easy to take on and off. The ports and cut-outs are perfect, as usual with SGP cases. The case offers a slim and streamlined design which I like. As far as bumper cases go, this has set the standard for the rest - it's great!
Check out the full video review below for more info;

very good review dude :good:
you said that the front doesn't offer any drop protection. Doesn't the case have a slight raised lip to it? Another qs i had was for the screen protector. Is it smooth to the touch ?

It does have slight lips so even if you lay screen down it shouldn't cause any damages, unless you lay on uneven surface. As far as screen protector, they come with ultra crystal which gives very smooth glass feel. It has hardness of 4H unlike SGP nano series (2h) so it doesn't easily get scratched either. Only downside is coverage is short due to the curved nature of S3. Comes short about 3mm all around.
On the side note, this case (latest products from sgp) has shape edges which I didn't like. It was very uncomfortable against my ear when I'm on the phone. Not quite sure if it's designed that way to make it non slippery but I didn't like it. So I took a sand paper and made it smooth all around. Now it feels so much better for me.

Apologies for the confusion, since the SGP Glas screenshield I have installed is thicker than most, it protrudes above the lip - but yes, there is a very slight lip to it. The screen protector is very similar to the naked glass, so it is very smooth.

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.

Case/bumper and screen protector

Hello dear users,
Please recommend some protective accessories for OP3T. I took a look on what is trending but i saw different opinions about it.
My choice until now are Rhino Shield products.
What do you recommend?

I received a Rhinoshield bumper case for review which I only got today, so I won't post my review on xda for a tad bit after some usage.
But it ripped the top of my dbrand skin, kinda hard to put on. It's lightweight which is nice, but it feels really weird on the sides and wiggles a bit more down the left and right side after it was such a pain and a tight fit to get on.
I'm sure it will protect the device really well, but I don't like the build feel of it. Quality like I said.. as good as they say, but it feels a tad bit cheap and I don't like the wiggle.

I'm not 100% sure but if you want one that covers 90% of the screen and has the adhesive on the entire screen and not just the sides, the tempered glass FULL curved one from the official OnePlus website is the only decent one

best one I've tried so far (and I've tried a few) is the Orzly
https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Pr...id=1491429410&sr=8-3&keywords=Orzly+oneplus+3.
For the bumper I'm quite happy with the Spigen Rugged Harmor:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Sp...=1491429636&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+oneplus+3t

So far, like the previous reply, my best experience has been with the orzly tgsp. And both the spigen rugged armor and neo hybrid provide great protection. Plus the orzly fits well with both of those cases. Idky the orzly gets so much hate from people. I only see the dot matrix and any reflectiveness when the screen is off and sitting on my table

Another vote for the Spigen rugged armor case and one for the Diztronic, both slim cases with good matte finish and feel. The Spigen fits tighter though.

Cases that protect the screen edges

Are there any cases that protect the screen edges as well, along the length of the phone?

Im Using the Spigen Neo Hybrid.. Covers the edges and corners really well.. only down side is No glass protector so far fits

I have the Spigen tough armor and it doesn't offer much if any edge protection. Not happy with how the phone feels in it either. The top and bottom bezels aren't enough imho

To me the long screen edges of the phone on your picture look raised up higher than the case and exposed to possible impact.

Being using the Spingen Ultra Hybrid S for the past 4 days. covers the corners pretty well and comes with a kickstand which id very useful. Picked it up on ebay for less than $16. worth a try.

Got this one
It has a premium kickstand from Zenton, it is one heck of a deal for $7.95!!! On AMAZON!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZYXXBD6

According to pics noone knows what I am talking about or make better pics.

After some searching it seems these may be worth a try:
-Otterbox defender
-Speck Candyshell Grip
-Unicorn Beetle
-Caseology Vault
Trust me, from Note7 experience, this is very important.

I bought a Gear4 case in store for £29.99 because I wanted a case straight away but now realise that as big and rugged as it looks, the screen is raised above the edges so any side impact will shatter the screen.

Especially with how breakable s8 is:

Yep, had the Speck Candyshell Grip case on my Nexus6p and it's awesome protection and feel. Will be getting one for my S8 Plus...

It is not something to be taken for granted. Try it and let us know. A review did say it has raised edges but what the author means is not clear. Also this case for Note7 model did NOT protect the long edges.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MS7TMRY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That one has the best edge protection I have found. I got the same case on my Note 7 and my S7E for the very reason that it comes up over the edges more than most cases.
I will say that it came up higher (actually taller than the main screen) on the Note 7. On the S8+ it doesn't come up quite as high on the sides, but still is far better than any other cases for protecting the sides short of a case that is so bulky it basically makes the phone twice as big as it is.

Had a clear thin Spigen case...finger prints were driving me crazy and did not feel safe with that case, so I just go the Spigen Tough Armor Galaxy S8 Plus Case with Kickstand and Extreme Heavy Duty Protection and Air Cushion Technology for Galaxy S8 Plus (2017) - Gunmetal from Amazon for $16.99. It feels good in the hand, has a great look (got over not seeing my orchard gray phone back) the cut out are for camera, finger print sensor and heart rate sensor makes it easy to find location to use finger sensor...do not fumble around trying to figure out where my finger goes...fast unlock. provides great clearance for phone face down.
Wireless charging works great with it....have not received my Gear VR yet, so do not know if case adds distance from face to change picture and degree view.
I do have a car holder that uses a magnet and a metal plate you put behind the case...the plate effect wireless charging...has been the case with other cases and phones.
Very happy with this case (have not tried a screen protector with it yet either)

Any new information here?

Your link is a page not found on amazon, cute dog though

Lifeproof has a full envelope for $90 but I want the holster clip like my Otterbox. For now making due with a Defender, but leaning towards biting the bullet on the Lifeproof for the full screen protection.

I would suggest a Speck Presidio
Have one, awesome protection so dont worry it you drop it.
