I had to buy the Zenus leather wallet case, for now. I'm waiting for something better with better protection and durability. Waiting for Seidio..
There are really thin cases you just have to look

You're not happy with the Zenus wallet case? I ordered it and have it coming. It looks like a good case to me.
I recommend the Ringke Slim . . . very minimalist. Pretty expensive for what you get, though, and the screen protector was kind of crap.

The case is good for what's it for. I like it so far but I'm not satisfied. The only problem I'm having is having to fold the cover back when I have to use it like text messaging. It's a hindrance.
Exactly ,the folding cases make things difficult

I ordered a different case from Zenus and another wallet case but in black with the stand on the back. It's the same price as the brown nubuck leather case. And one of their graffiti silicon case. I'll be switching between whichever I feel like using.
I'm planning on going completely naked. No cover, no case except maybe a belt case. Not sure I'll want to keep this in my pocket.
The $7 TPU cases are quite thin, at least until you find something you like. You can also order a Neoprene sleeve or the OEM sleeve to keep it in while in your pocket. I ordered them and the Neoprene one was $4 and the OEM 25
I tried one of the "ultra thin tpu cases" for sale on ebay and so far, I'm loving it. The case really is ultra thin, and mine is clear frosted so it also adds a bit of grip.
Note, it offers zero face protection, and only covers up to the chrome bezel on the sides.

Fits really well for being thin and flexible, and the slimmest case I've seen so far.

Wow that's thin. Thanks for posting the link, I hope I can still find this when I get my note this summer. That looks really nice on the white Note
I bought two cases.
http://www.amazon.com/EMPIRE-Samsun...S0WO/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1329718439&sr=8-9
The empire case, i use when I'm at home. It's almost like not having a case at all. Protection for the left and right sides and the back are there. Top and Bottom are open as well as the front of the screen.
When I go out of the house, I transfer to the Zenus Wallet Case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/samsung-gal...784392?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4600c77d08
It's great for going out...protects the phone reasonably well and I don't have to carry a separate wallet. Oh it the case itself looks AWESOME!
Just ordered one and I will try to keep everyone posted on how it works out. $5.95 hopefully this will work out for those of us that need a more rugged case! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E4RV8DS

There another OP for this case, it actually increased to 3x what it originally was. It was 1.99 a week ago.
I'm already using this case, it's amazing for $1.95
agreed i picked up this case on the 9th when it was for pennies. for the price it far exceeds in all areas. OP you will enjoy it for sure.
I bought this case when it was $1.95 on Amazon Prime, and I have to say, I actually feel more secure with the phone in a Spigen. The moko's "rubber" shell is too lose, and the plastic case is too thin and flimsy, much more thinner than a Seido Dilex or an Otterbox Commuter. I think I may just stick with a Neo Hybrid for now and just give away the Moko to someone on XDA.
Thanks for the info everyone

Totally agree with you. I got this case when it first became available. It has a really nice feel and looks great. However the tpu inner/outer shell is very flimsy, especially around the lip of the phone and has the look and feel as though debris could easily enter from the cutouts. The fitament on the phone in the case itself is just OK. The phone does not clip in, rather it slides in from the side making it awkward for some to quickly access. If your looking for something to put on your belt it works.

It isn't TPU, it is rubber...and the fit on my 32GB N6 is great...only complaint is that the holster doesn't have a locking clip. For a sub-$10USD rugged case you cannot do better. Heck Seidio and Platinum sell the same thing for $60USD for other phones.

The Seidio Dilex line of cases are more sturdy and rugged. And the Seido spring-loaded holsters make it quicker to release the phone off the belt. The Moko is a great sub-$10 case, but it cannot go up against a Seidio/Platinum case.

LOL....as an owner of a couple Seidio cases and a Platinum case...the Moko comes from exactly the same Chinese OEM and is made from exactly the same stuff (rubber/plastic). The only difference being Seidio has a metal kickstand.

The proof is in that Platinum, Seidio, and Moko have not sued one another for copyright or trademark infringement over the years. They're all that identical in design and quality.
We live in an age where people sue for using rounded corners.

Lol, you ain't lying about the lawsuits. I should be getting the i-blason case here in the next couple days, it was actually sub $10 when I scooped it up as well. Looks almost the same minus the holster and the design on the rubber, even the plastic outter clip looks identical. Don't get me wrong, the Moko isn't bad at all.. I'm just a bit ocd about the loose edges and small gaps near the cutouts. I feel like over a short period of time they'll get lose.

I may order one of the poetic revolution cases while they are still cheap. My moko should be her on 12/3
Ordered the orzly tempered glass screen protector a few minutes ago as well
OK the moko came in today and first impressions are really good! Not sure yet how it will hold up but the fit is great. All the buttons feel great! The case actually looks pretty good (granted looks are in the eye of the beholder as they say). The kickstand doesn't seem to bad. For a rugged case, its actually surprisingly slim which may make a lot of people happy.
Now for the bad as others have mentioned pulling the phone out of the holster causes the rubber part of the case to pull away from the phone. Not real bad but it does. The phone slides into the case but its a tight fit.
All in all I paid $5.95 + shipping on Amazon for this case and initial impression is for that price if you need a case it's a great buy. Just noticed the price is now $6.95 so if your looking for a decent cheap case I'd buy it before the price goes up. I'm going to use it until I find a satisfactory higher end case.
I did order a poetic revolution case as well and when it comes in I'll let you all know who it is.
So I bought the Spigen slim armor with kickstand case just recently and found that it is rather a thick case and added bulk to the N6. It in turns made the N6 not be able to fit the car mount I bought. Anyone got recommendation for a good slim case?

Ringke Slim Case.
But keep in mind. Slim cases like this offers less protection.
I really like my Diztronic case. It's thin and feels well protected. A few videos on YouTube where people do drop tests and it came out without a scratch.

Try Orzly case, it is very very thin.
The Ringke Max is actually pretty 'slim' with a lot of protection. If you want close to naked feel, then the Ringke Slim might be best, but really not that much protection.

I bought the Spigen Ultra Hybrid (clear), Thin Fit (clear), Slim Armor and S Wallet. IMO the Slim Armor fit and looked the best, but FAT. The TPUs just made the phone uber FAT(er). The wallet hinge/flap/binder thing is too loose and flabby [I wanted tight form fitting].
I ordered several generic gel jelly slim TPU.
First one to arrive is one with a logo that reads INSTEN and I am very impressed by it.
It's tight (queue up Micheal Meyers), lip is thin and holds on to the frame without going over on to the glass, barely raised ever so slightly higher than the screen.
It makes the screen/viewing pop out (it might be the color I chose, yellow).
The cutouts are great, the thinly covered raised areas over the power and volume rocker are just right (if you have the slim armor you might experience what I have, where touching the buttons is just too sensitive).
Grippy and sturdy. Knocked some on the table, I'd use it to press some buttons, sure..
I might go order more colors.
Usually I like Goospery Mercury Gel TPU cases on my phones, but haven't found any made for the N6.
EDIT: easy in and out from pocket.
Thanks guys for your suggestions. I think I'm going to go with the slick wraps full body because it does not add any bulk and provide some protection.

That INSTEN case is identical to the Caseology cases. Probably made in china, and companies just put their own name on it. But they look OK with medium protection.

I'm not doubting your choice, as it's your phone. But any "protection" you get from a skin will be just to prevent scratches and no drop protection. Good luck.

I dont have the caseology, but from the images I can agree, sans dimple. It's a good thing being at 1/3rd the price. I went ahead and bought green and black as well. It is so far my fave case.
I'll add, you know the form, shape that the phone has, makes it fit well in the hand and really gives it that unique feeling that it is a much smaller phone. This case INSTEN keeps that feeling intact..

Agreed. Fairly protective without being too bulky. Good grip too.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a case that preserves the top heaviness and dramatic tapering of thickness at the bottom of the phone? Basically I'm as concerned about drop protection as preserving the original "feel" of the phone.
Hello guys,
I am still doing my search for an ultra-thin case with mate finish for my S8. It is something like the Peel cases for iPhone (sadly they don't care about Samsung phones).
There are some thin cases but I often don't like their glossy finish or the case is not well built.
If anyone knows a case like the Peel, please let me know

Received the elago case today in black. Cut outs are exact and fit is good, seems to be a bit of movement along the edges.
Perfect for scratch protection and a screen protector should work great with the elago.

Nope - the one negative for me. If it was, it would be perfect, but otherwise it's great
Spigen AirSkin is the best quality and closest you'll get to Peel or Caudabe.
+1 for Spigen Airskin. It is .36mm and the peel is .35mm. It is *very* thin, bordering on scratch-only protection.
Are you guys speaking from experience on the S8? The Spigen air skin doesn't fit my S8 for some reason, it's just a tad bit too narrow. Spigen was nice enough to replace it, but the new one is the same.
MNML fits perfectly and is the same ultra thin type case. It's my vote for the S8. The other benefit to the MNML case over the Spigen is, the bottom is covered on the MNML, while on the Spigen it's exposed.
I have the Spigen Air Skin on an S8 now and it fits perfectly. The bottom is exposed (except the corners) and the back cutout looks to be different (one big cutout) than the MNML (3 separate cutouts). Face down, it still sits without the front glass touching.
The Nillkin brand of cases out of china are good quality. I've owned a few version of their cases for different models of phone. If you want the slimist case that is TPU and gives some slight shock protection over not having a case, the NATURE line is awesome. I just ordered my clear S8 case from Amazon. can't go wrong with this case. I will update once it arrives.
Also, thing of note...this case has a separator for the camera and fingerprint reader. This actually helps out and functional to keep me from placing my finger on the camera. My current case has the same design as this was a feature I was looking for. Most of the cases has a large cutout on the back which I think was the cheap/fast way to release a case.

I got mine from a company called Bare Cases. Think they're a small company but the case felt very premium. Has a matte finishing. So far it's scratched at the back but I don't mind it cos I guess it protects my phone from those exact scratches.
The Spigen air skin didn't fit good and I just gave up with that.
Any reviews or feedback on cases. I've always used a thin spigen TPU case with the carbon fiber look. Wouldnt mind another one or a suede feeling case.
Most of the good looking ones on ebay show no cutout on the rear for the fingerprint.

I ordered the FitBag Beat in black from Amazon.com for the Xioami Mi Max 2 and it is the perfect fit sleeve/bag for the Mate 20 X. It works by itself or with the gel Case that came with it. Add a wallet sticker dohicky thing and it's a prefect wallet sleeve.

For those of you who like the transparent cases i found one that is awesome. It has more screen protection than the stock case and has more corner protection.

Just Google MojoSkins.
I got a few from them. Thier full protection skins are great but hard to get on perfect. The back portion goes on easy as the skin is thick making application simple. They also over back protectors (no side/top/bottom flaps) that I think work best.
Bought this J&D case off Amazon for $10.99CND. Not too bulky. Wicked drop protection soft TPU inside Hard shell outside. Plus has plugs built in to protect charger port and headphone jack. Plus the volume and power buttons are super clicky. Highly recommend.
The clear TPU case provided with the phone is functional (I dropped my phone onto a hard floor with this case on and the phone was fine), but I do find the phone 'slippery' to pick up with this case. I have the Nillkin nature series tpu case for my Xiaomi Mi Max 3 (same size phone) and it is great because its edges are coated with a frosted grip material. Nillkin make this case for the Mate 20 and Mate 20 lite, but not for the Mate 20 x. Does anyone know of a similar clear TPU case that (unlike the Huawei one) has frosted edges for a better grip?
I have quite a few cases and have a few more on the way. I was thinking of doing a case review eventually.
Still no cases made especially for the stylus pen?
Ditto on looking for a case that will also hold the pen.
Found one with pen holder!
