I didn't write this review but do have this case and I have to say, that it is by far my favorite. I baby my phone but was annoyed by the fingerprint magnet back and wanted something unintrusive and thin. This case is not only both but also has a small lip for setting your phone face down.

Nice
Looks like it gives considerably less girth than the Otterbox defender I purchased. A trade off for overall protection.
Loving this case. Just got mine in a couple days ago. I've had my phone in the Body Glove case and an Otterbox Defender previous to this and this is the best fitting most stylish of the three. I hate large cases so im bias against the defender but it was the only case I could track down locally at first. The Body Glove case was alright but I had issues with landscape typing and accidently hitting the power botton, also the honey comb design on the inside left marks on the phone.
The Nillkin leaves no markings, fits the phone perfectly and offers enough protection for me. I constantly lay my phone screen down and the lip works perfectly for keeping the screen off of surfaces. For the price you cant beat this case.
Nice! Been waiting for something like that. Thanks!
Love the look of that leather case!

If you like a wallet style case, this one looks pretty cool too. I found that being able to pull my phone out was more convenient than dealing with flipping the front cover around to talk.

Ordered this case. Tossed it in the trash with out even trying it. Its ugly cheap vinyl looking CRAP. The stitching is white. Looks like a child made it. UGLY. I just could not bring myself to put my DNA in it.
I purchased the Nillkin off of ebay too, in black. Came fast. Love the case. Way better than the Verizon silicone one I had. Its a quality fitting and feeling product.

Hey All. Got my Amaze yesterday and its already up and running on the Energy ROM with faux kernal; thanks to those respective devs. With the flashing out of the way for now, time to look into some cases. As everyone is aware, amaze is not the lightest or thinnest phone, so a case with minimal weight would be desireable. I ran into a matte snap on case from ebay, wanted to know if anyone here has any feedback on these. I am not going after the price (I am open to spend whatever for the ideal case), but more so on the "thin" part. Sadly, I can't post the url due to my noob status, but its easily searchable under "Matte BLACK Hard Snap On Thin Back Case Cover For HTC T-Mobile Amaze 4G".
Looking forward to being part of the Amaze community!
I have a two piece black rubberized case on my one amaze, and a one piece hard case on the other one. Both are light, and fit pretty good. the two piece fits tighter, and has cutouts for all the mic holes on the back cover etc. and they all line up. its just a cheap ebay case. And both are thin. Any cheapie case you get on ebay will be light, and the best part is after a couple months just pay $3-5 and get a new one.
The one piece doesen't cover the top and bottom of the phone, just the sides, so it won't protect as well as the two piece, and if I ever have to pop the two piece apart to get at the back cover, it comes apart easy.
I'd get a cheap two piece, try it out. if you need more protection, then upgrade, but i'd start at ebay.
Be careful with some of the cheap ebay snap-on cases. I got one for a previous phone that was front and back pieces that snapped together. It was thin and looked OK but it would pop open when dropped and the phone would come out and land unprotected. It was ok for scratch protection and keeping the screen off the table but provided very little to zero drop protection.
Thanks for the info. Yeah I have to consider the drop protection. When I was searching youtube for cases, the videos were showing cases which was huge. Yes it protects the phone, but it’s very uncomfortable to carry around. Might have to try some on from the local mall kiosk if anything.
I just went with a cheap ebay case from eforcecity and I'm satisfied. I think I paid $6 shipped and it came with a screen protector.
I got one from ebay that is really good, it comes with a holster. Trust me, thiz isnt like the ones that are cheap made and snaps when minimal force aplied to it. This is high quality. Not bulky either.

I too have this case, it works great. I have not noticed any difference in my network connection signal strength which was a concern and has provided good protection for the phone in its couple of drops. I work in a hydraulics shop with hardened concrete floors and it has held up well. As a side note the case also holds up well when exposed to mineral and petroleum based hydraulic fluids.

For those that might be interested, Seidio informed me today that their DNA case will provide a hole for the back LED.
Here are the delayed pictures of the White Nikkin Ebay case for the DNA....
My quick review: it is very slim, textured back finish, matte touch finish on the smooth sides and front. It allows the phone to be put face down without touching the the screen but not by much. Not very much protection on the top and bottom of the phone itself, though. reminds me a lot of the ringke slim case for the Galaxy Nexus with less top and bottom end protection, but not quite as slim. For the money, i'd rate it a pretty decent buy. I originally had a verizon holster case, and i have the Diztronic here and an Otterbox Commuter coming for when I go snowboarding.
Mike
Thanks for the awesome pics. Love how slim it is, but I'm not sure about the lack of protection at the top and bottom
I also go snowboarding. Let me know how you like the Commuter.
Thanks for the review. I ordered the brown one but still haven't received it yet. Judging from your pictures though, it looks like it will suit me just fine.

Has anyone tried this for the Note 3? I bought something very similar in gray translucent color for my Note 2 which fit the job perfectly since I keep my phone in my front right pocket so don't need anything bulky and the design/color turned out nice. Just hoping the charger port is big enough for use with Smart Dock which was a little snug with the Note 2 one. $3.99 with shipping included from Asia.

old thread, but I came across it and figured i'd respond.
I had something just like this for my HTC One.
it was great in how thin it was. Obviously not much for drop protection, but it provided better grip and scratch protection without adding weight/size.
Only issue was that the fit was very tight, and the material is not elastic. As a result, i ended up stretching one of the cutouts slightly, and it never quite sat perfectly. I liked it anyway, and would try one again if i still had the phone. I might try one of these for my GN3.
These cases are superb. I bought several of these just in case I want to swap them out. So far though, I have only swapped it out once because of light scratches from a year of use on my S3. These cases are definitely not for drop protection. Strictly for scratch protection. They are the thinnest available. They are also not grippy. I like it because I personally hate the dust collecting silicone cases. At first I bought the black version for my black note 3, but then i bought the white/clear version of the case and I like the clear case more. The black case hides the silver accent edge of the note 3 while the white one allows that detailing to show. It also doesn't hurt that they're dirt cheap.
I bought one of these and they are super thin. I love that it barely adds bulk. But as windowmaker said, there's no grip what so ever. At least before you had some grip from the battery cover. I decided to trim out the back of mine so I have some grip at the back since the battery cover is now exposed. But still no side grip. Maybe put clear skinomi skin on the sides for better grip. But if you want thin, this is one of the thinnest out there.

I've got one. Not bad but not perfect.The fit wasn't good enough, it always looked like it was coming off on one side. Cutouts very good. Does not protect the screen or the camera in any way. I switched to Ringke Slim since and I think it's better and not much bulkier. But for the money - great buy. And the Note still looks like the Note. And the owner still looks like homo sapiens not some anal-retentive douche who spends a fortune on a lovely and stylish phone just to turn it into some Ninja-Turtle global destruction device
Does anyone have a picture of the note 3 with this case on?

I used to use these style of cases because I wanted absolute minimal size added to the phone while providing basic scratch protection.
Recently I moved to "skins"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TeStBNHqCZA
That's a skinomi wood one, and I much prefer it to those cheap 2mm cases. Not does it keep the phone slim, it provides the same type of protection. The cheap ebay cases werent going to provide any type of drop protection anyways.
I saw this at Best Buy, it's kind of pricey but it fit super snug to the phone and added minimal bulk. I was about to buy it. What do you think? It has the magnetic kickstand and also comes with the belt holster.

The case isn't bad but to me its kind of expensive. I have it currently but I don't use the holster. The phone also sits up off the table with the bottom higher than the top because of the kick stand and that kind of bothers me but thats a personal annoyance =) I do love the feel of the Ez Grip texture though, feels nice, and really easy to clean.
I bought this case n holster and I only use the holster. The case for me is to slippery. I got an lg circle case from sprint and fits perfectly with this holster.
Sent from my Black Lg G3
I got this case when I bought the phone simply because it was the only one available at BB. Have been pleasantly surprised although I don't use the holster. The grip is quite tacky so I feel comfortable when holding with one hand, yet it fits in a pocket amazingly well. Feels smaller in my pocket than my GS3 did with the body glove drop suit case.

The Platinum from Best Buy is just a rebranded version of the Seidio. I got the Seidio and love it.
I love these cases. My last 4 phones used these cases . Saved my butt several times from dropping onto the ground and grandkid(s) abuse. Use with care , screen protectors have a tendency to lift on the sides when putting on or taking off this case.

Looks good. But it's too bulky for me. But thanks for sharing
I almost bought this, but have Amazon prime & knew I could wait 2 days. I bought 2 cases, 1 being a Folsom case (I think it's Folsum) & the other, same idea, not sure the brand, but the second one uses the rubber flaps like over charging port. I also bought a 10 pack of skins. Of course it's really a 3 pack as I won't be using purple, pink, yellow etc. I prefer the skins as I'm extremely careful with phone. I use no screen protector either. Only spent about $20 for the total of 12 cases. Good deal.

Anyone have anything on radar for an otterbox type (premium) case for the Moto G4Plus?
I had an otterbox for my (very) old Samsung Galaxy II that actually (at the time, unfortunately) survived a drop from a 45 ft scaffold and only the clip broke.
I was ready for a new phone, but the darned case was so good, I couldn't replace the phone at the time.
However, the replacement phone's (a Galaxy S5) otterbox case was a step below in quality.
However, I currently have a CoverON case for Moto G4Plus, which is ok, but i can't put the phone in facing the front.
ANY ideas for a "premium" case? would also be open to one with a built in battery extension too.

Been looking as well for a premium case im in Mexico so if its difficult for you imagine here i got a common case its ok but i came from a love mei with my s5 so im in the look out as well hope something turn out soon something good i mean
I use Incipio Octane case (as I like full cases). Quality is very good, seems to be really strong

I like Spigen, and I like the Kapaver case for the Moto G4, so much so I just ordered one, thanks for the recommendation!
Do you know if it will fit with Nilkin 9H Amazing H Tempered Glass Screen Protector?
I am very happy with my Nilkin TGSP case. I was not happy with the angle after the first application, and it was very easy to take off and put back on. There are no air bubbles or oil rainbow marks. I also fit the Kapaver case, which neatly covers the very edge of the of the tempered glass, so apart for the cutouts for the fingerprint etc., you would not even know there was a screen protector on the display.
Guys - this is the combination to go for.
