So I've been reading around and it seems that a lot of people are having trouble finding a nice and fitted case. Now I came frome a cappy to the i777 and I wanted somthing that was like the bodyglove case for the captivate. I found a case on Amazon that I thought would fit the i777 just right. It came in yesterday and it fits perfectly! Everythingis cut out where its supposed to be, yes even the noise canceling mic on top. Its not thick and it keeps the phone slim. Has nice grip on the sides so it doesn't slip. Fits the phone perfect. All in all seems to be an awesome case. And its only like $9 with shipping! Good deal!

I got a TC matte black slim case that is great and was $9 shipped from amazon. Highly recommended.
+1 for the TC case, nice fit and no frills.

I got the case mentioned in the OP but for 2.95 on eBay. Have to say this is one of the best fitting and best looking tpu cases I've owned. All the cutouts are spot on and its thin with ok protection for a tpu case. Way satisfied and would def recommend it to anyone.

I was looking at the TC case but wasn't sure about it. I had ordered one from ebay and it didn't fit. Its was to small. But I'll look into the Amazon one

I just got this one in the mail before Christmas (along with some screen protectors). This thing is good. double layer protection along with covers for the earphone jack and usb port. Feel as sturdy or more than otterboxes I have seen. Some people don't like the bulk but I like the thicker grip.

Is the case OP posted really rubbery or what? I'm looking for a slim case that doesn't stick in my pockets.
+ one more for the matte black TC case. Had it since a week after launch. Cut outs are all correct, (though I widened the usb and headphones cutouts with an xacto knife to fit aftermarket audio and usb plugs that I had - stock stuff fit fine with no mods) keeps the slim profile of the phone, and makes it fit my hand a little better, so less chance of drops.

I'm looking into the case that the OP mentioned. I found a five case deal on ebay coming from Hong Kong. I just got my phone (no case protection) and it'll pain me too much to see how long the shipping will take, it is free though.
I wonder if people are seeing good results on all of these cheap cases from ebay, by that I mean after a few months of use.
Question, OP
I'm coming from a Cappy with the excellent Body Glove TPU case. It was the best case I've ever had for a phone, and I was wondering if the case OP posted is flexible TPU, or hard, rigid plastic that can't be flexed. I wonder this because I need access to the back sd card and battery often, and the material of the case determines if I buy it or not.
Thanks for any answers to my question.

Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Any link for official HTC TPU case where I can find it
Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Superle...1HVI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1333169597&sr=8-9
this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

@Scougar- that case looks good. Nit expensive, will order and try it

@vervester- thanks mate, will try it
Still can't find a case I like better than the acase superleggra.... Look into that, wonder if there's anywhere you buy it that will ship it to you. its cheap and sounds like what your looking for.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

I just bought the Mobo Carrera slim Horizontal case (for the Galaxy Nexus) and I have to say that I'm very happy with it. It fits the LTEvo nice and snug. The phone doesn't budge at all, especially when shaken vigorously. Also magnet doesn't come off when turned upside and shaken hard. The case is nice and slim to complement the slimness of the LTEvo. The interior is outlined in red leather (sort of complements the phone as well). The belt clip is made of metal (but covered in leather) and swivels but the swivel is rigid and doesn't move with little force with is good to me; stays in the position it is set to. Has the opening at the bottom to allow you to push the phone up to easily remove it.
If you are interested in a horizontal case, then this might be the one for you. Just google Mobo Carrera Horizontal case Galaxy Nexus; amazon has it here Mobo Carrera Horizontal Carrying Case. Other site sell it as well.
I bought 2 more slim cases and I'll write about them here as well when they come in this coming week.

Well I didn't keep the other two cases. One was too big for the LTEvo that the phone flopped around in the case. That was a killer for me, so I didn't even bother to give it another thought.
The other one is the one pictured below. It was a case for the Galaxy Nexus so it didn't really fit all that well. Don't get me wrong the case was well designed but the dimensions were just short of fitting the LTEvo. The LTEvo was hanging out of the case. If they make one specifically for the LTEvo, it would be worth investing in it.

If you don't mind my asking, what cases were the ones that were too big? Also do you think they'd fit the Evo with a silicone or TPU case on? Thanks!
Ditto to the above I like a gorm fitting holster but I never go out without a case. For work I use the Otterbox commuter with the seido active holster but for regular use, I use a thin TPU case. I have yet to find a holster that is thin and long enough to fit the phone with a TPU case.
Any suggestions?

I bought my dad a side clip holster from siedioonline and he was ecstatic with it.
Even I loved it, and I really dislike holsters in general.
I am thinking of this case, but my only qualm is that I don't know if I like the idea of putting a fake leather case on a fake leather phone. lol.

I ordered a couple. The price is great, so I figured I didn't have much to lose. They do get great reviews on Amazon. It will be interesting to see how they compare to Diztronic.
the design seemed very generic. i think it would be great if they offered customized case painting e.g. have your photo on the case etc.
The fit on the sides looks like trash!

see if this is suitable for u, majority made of kevlar but there's two piece of metal for magnetic mounting.
most importantly, it does not interfere with NFC or wireless charging, as full metal cases could cause some interference.
