Hi, i'm searching for a SLIM case, but unlike the Barely There from Case-mate i want it to fully cover the phone.
Is there any around them? my research got no results

It does not cover the phone
try the sgp neo hybrid, its the thinnest dual layer case ive seen. i cut out the backing now so i use it as a bumber case.
hey im like you. i love the barely there case but i also had a problem with it offering just partial protection.
i ended up with the sgp ultra hybrid case. and i couldnt be happier. very slim. very well built. the only thing it doesnt cover is the screen. doesnt add much bulk.
i also have the sgp ultra capsule.. its just too shiny looking for me.
Diztronic Matte
I like the Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible *Revision 3* TPU Case.
$9.89 on Amazon, thin and covers phone
Incipio Silicrylic case ftw.

I buy Diztronics for all my phones.
Just got the alpine white ringke slim case. Best case I have come across. Looks amazing!

I recommend either one of these. The Ultra Hybrid may look thick, but it's actually thinner than the Cruzer Lite one as much to my surprise.
Ultry Hybrid:

Cruzer Lite:

I like the cruzer lite, it adds a thick enough "lip" over the face of the phone that setting it down doesn't allow your screen to contact the surface you set it on. Plus it's only $9.

I also have this case and I really like it. It's matte, though, so it's not exactly grippy, if you're looking for that.
thinnest and uber cheap case
Hi there,
I'm not quite sure how thin you would like your case to be, but I recently discovered a couple of cases on ebay that may fit your description.
LINK: I'm sorry, I am a relatively new user on XDA and I can't post link just yet. However, you can ebay a seller called "smokydiscount" and keywords: 0.2mm Ultra thin case for galaxy nexus prime. Otherwise, just PM me.
MY OPINION: I really like these cases and they're great for scratch protection. As for drops and bumps, these cases are negligible; your phone will probably be just as damaged as compared to without a case.
PROS:
- Incredibly thin. It's as if your phone doesn't have a case on it
- WILL protect the back from any scratches. You can leave your phone on a rough surface without any concerns
- Very cheap
CONS:
- There is no front lip, meaning if you put your phone face down on a rough surface, beware. However, the case does come with a screen protector which is fairly decent (ALMOST to the same standard as Brando screen protectors)
- For some reason it does make the phone more slippery. The plastic doesn't provide any grip
- The case is very fragile when it is not applied on your phone. I had to get a replacement sent out because the case came to my house cracked, most probably due to the postage and handling.
Despite the cons, this is definitely one of my favourite cases. Check them out.
TPU rubber case with stand on amazon only 3 bucks and it covers everything , just need a screen protector

I just just got the Speck Pixel skin HD, and its pretty great. Thinner profile than my otter box commuter, yet it feels much better. It looks pretty good, but I don't know if it was really worth $30

Great review, I've seen reviews saying that the Boxwave Blackout cracks and chips after little use or removing it from the phone a couple of times, can anyone confirm this? That's the one I like the most. Thanks.

I have the nillkin case, not in your review but it has cut outs for the power and volume. Great fit even with tempered glass it still has a small gap. I couldn't say its a dime distance since I'm in the uk but even with the glass there is still a 1 mm gap. Cheap and seems OK so far.
Also have a diztronic on the way and an official OnePlus tpu. Who knows may do another mini review once they all arrive.

None of the cases included in this video are PC, they are all TPU. The nillkin case is PC. All PC cases have cutout buttons because PC doesn't flex its made for abrasion protection. I have reviewed a couple of PC cases on my channel if you want to check them out, the BoxWave minimus, the official 1+ cover, and the nillkin PC case video will be live soon.
A PC case will be much much more friendly towards screen protectors. TPU cases will be more likely to push against the sides of the glass and cause bubbles.
The Nillkin PC case is surprisingly high quality. Like, really high quality ::cough:: better than the official case ::cough::
I'm lookin forward to your review. No matter how many accessories I own I always always read and watch other reviews too. I think we have a sickness
What was your favorite case amongst all the ones you tried, regardless of material?

hmmmmm ..... man that's tough. I'll answer it without answering it. Here's my personal thought process behind this question.
1) I don't drop my phone very often. One broken phone in 10+ years and I'm comfortable replacing parts on my own phone if need be, so impact resistance isn't too important to me. This means TPU cases and combination PC/silicone/TPU type cases ( think otterbox) are more than what i need.
Plus if i did blow up a phone beyond repair, I've got more phones.
2) I prefer a slim design case. Since all i need is abrasion protection, I don't want to add too much fat to my phone.
3) I like texture. I don't want to add a case which is slippery because that defeats point #1 cause i might drop my phone
So right now I'm really liking the Nillkin snap on PC case. It's what's currently on my phone. Ask me again in a week and it might be a different case but my logic above remains the same.
Hope that helps.

Very useful information, thanks. Just wondering, have you also tried the Pelosi case? It's what I'm thinking of getting and it seems like it would really satisfy your requirements.
Has anyone tried the Orzly TPU? Is there a lip on the TPU case? if so, how thick is the lip?

Actually the unique design of the OPO doesn't push the case against the screen so you're safe, I do have a TPU case(as I has to my previous Desire HD phone ..no issues)
P.S. I do have tempered glass in the OPO which is way better but still in my DHD I has matte film which was nice(there still didn't have any issues with bubbles and do mind I'm a perfectionist..)
Thanks for the vid, very useful!
i am really looking forward to buy a nice case for my nexus 5 (also cheap)
Are this worth buying ?

Thanx in advance
I personally use spigen and metal/aliminium bumper. Both are top quality cases. But since i got dbrand skin i cant use bumper. Rest is okay. So i will suggest you spigen and bumper. But didnt use any battery case. (also they re so big and ugly in my opinion)
The only good one I see is the spigen. There are tons out there, keep looking.
That also isn't a genuine Spigen case. It looks like one of the cheap Chinese clones.
You can see the exact same picture here:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Slim-Luxury-Armor-PC-TPU-Dual-Layer-Cool-Case-For-LG-Nexus5-Mobile-Phone-Accessories-With/32272128275.html
I use this one http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Case-Protection-Absorption-Premium/dp/B00EPLTFIS
Very happy with it,my phone took some pretty bad hits but it was ok
Looks good,and you can customize the back with a picture of your choice,there are templates on xda....or just apply some carbon skin on it and still looks good !
try metal/aliminium bumper it will defend the device much great then plastic.
Recommended cases for N5
I just bought a Nillkin Nexus 5 case. Ultra Slim.
Nillkin makes great cases that offer maximum protection with a minimal profile.
And I recommend these:
LG Hardshell Nexus 5 Black (US)
TEMEI Ultra-thin Protective TPU Back Case for LG Nexus 5
Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case for LG Nexus 5
I use the Spigen Slim Armor, its awesome, I have occasionally switched between the Spigon:

And this one: (because its cool looking and I get compliments)

Hi there ladies and gentlemen.
I have been looking around for a rugged case for the LG G4, and I'm wondering if anyone here has decent suggestions for such cases for the LG G4.
Currently, I'm looking at the Spigen Slim Armor case, the Case-Mate Naked Tough case, and the Tech21 Evo Tactical case, but if there are better suggestions, please do throw out some suggestions on here.
Thanks.
Hello, i have Spigen Slim Armor case. I was deciding between Slim Armor and Capsule Ultra Rugged also from Spigen. I bought Slim Armor in gunmetal, its very good, good looking, best quality and its tight, so phone have very good protection. But after maybe week it start scratching on the back, on the plastic. Its not visible in normal conditions because plastic is all in gunmetal color, not only color coating, but from some angles i can see it. And this case is bulky. I'm personally don't have problem with this but some people might have. So when you want slimmer case, go to Capsule Ultra Rugged, when you don't judge bulkness, slim armor is also very good.
+1 for the Spigen Armor. Used both Slim and Tough Armor on different phones for years now. Not the cheapest around but without any flaws, even after years.
A warning: Look out for clones. I received a fake Spigen for a Samsung S4 once, but it was total crap. Cheaper material that felt terrible and made the side buttons unusable. Ok, the button problem may not occur with the G4

Consider buying this item from FastTech (Chinese co.), PC + Silicone Protective Case Cover for LG G4: https://www.fasttech.com/products/1152/10025793/5608603 - it's thin and not that noticeable and rugged and durable - I've used my all black one for over a year and still looks great. At $2.55 US you can't lose, IMO.

I am looking for good quality bumpers for A50. And which type of cover would the experts here recommend, those with opening for holes or those which are fully open around the bottom?
At this moment I recommend Nillkin. Also Nillkin 9H glass protector.
Upload nillkin case photos here if anyone buy that product.

I am using only MOFI Shell bumpers (warious colors, not clear) and i am perfectly satisfied (or a NILLKIN Frosted series). They are so thin and really like some shell (MOFI's thinner).
SPIGEN seems like a pretty fat piece of a rubber.

Ok thanks. But do the nillkin frosted series offer good protection? How would you rate it compared to the spigen case.

Hard to tell. I think Spigen may be little better. Nillkin is thinner and cheaper. I use Nillkin for some time on many phones. If some of them got hard drop, then Nillkin case can break but not the phone - it make sense. So the case took the impact. Phone was never harmed.
Matter of a taste. I don't like "truck rubber" on my phone.
Maybe Nillkin Clear bumer are the best choice for someone who want to make phone backward stay transparent.

I was talking about real photos. I want to see how much screen protection do they provide with their raised lips.
I have bought a transparent one on Amazon, Terrapin, i know it is not a brand, but has average quality, better than those on Aliexpress

Sorry I thought you are from India.
In India, Spigen has not launched any case yet.
I have the Ringke, great case, but the back cover of the black A50 does not look so hot with the transparent back of the case. I bet it's fine with the other colors. It looks great otherwise, fits nicely and the phone seems well protected. I had slim TPU before (Mumbi) which was okay, nothing special, but I the Ringk feels much more solid, I have no worries the phone would survive a drop.
All the Spigen cases for the A50 are gone from the website, which is pretty strange because like HTCDevil posted, the Liquid Crystal (which wasn't even on the website) is still available from Amazon in Europe, but not the rugged or slim armors (that were on the website before).
I think the A50 is a killer phone and they will sell a ton of them, which might lead to more cases in the future. I'm very happy with the Ringke at the moment, though.

Which type of screenGuard do you have on your phone? Is edge to edge guard compatible with ringke case?
Do you have black colour case or blue one?
Black case, tempered glass, but not edge to edge, just covers the display.
