The absolute lightest is going to be a skin like this:

Not a load of protection. I use a similar one on my note 10.1, but then keep it in a sleeve as well.

I have owned a few tablets and this is by far the lightest flip cover I have ever found. It's just amazinn brah. I bought it in black and prolly from another seller, but it's the same brand. Just different colors. It is light as fwuak.

If you want a flip case, I like the Moku slim or ultra slim ones. My preference is the one with the plastic solid back that clips around the corners compared to the ones with tabs that it slips into. About $10 on Amzn.

Best case

Hi i am going to buy this nice phone in few days and i was wondering which case will be the best for me. I really like the original design of the phone but dont like this flip cases like s view ( in my opinion they are not comfortable for use correct me if im wrong). On the other side. There is the spigen ultra fit case but im not sure if it gives a good protection. So can you give an advice please?
Thank you!
I recommend the S-View Case and Back Case.
The quality is OK . I am quite satisfied with the case so far.

I have just purchased Holster case for my N3 and its really a nice experience to have this case on my phone....I got it from Amazon...so you can just check it out...its a bit pricey but cost worthy too...So I like this case
Everyone has their own opinion and preference when it comes to phone cases and the one I got was the Spigen Bounce http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-note-3-case-bounce.html . I had originally ordered this case because it is was inexpensive and one of the few that was actually available when I got my Note 3 on October 3. I got it so I wouldn't have to go "naked" while I waited for something better to come out. I'm so pleased with it that I see no reason to get a different one at this point. This case adds almost nothing to the thickness of the phone and I definitely feel like it's well protected. I also happen to think it looks nice.

if you want to keep it thin, this was the best case i could find to keep the "hand feel" of the phone.

I had the spigen slim armor and to tell you the truth, it isnt very slim.

I have a black Note 3 and have tried 3 cases.
The 1st one was the OEM S View Flip Case, which I returned without even putting it on the phone...
Next was Seidio Surface Case w/metal kickstand. Nice two piece case, but very hard to remove
from the phone once you have it on. Returned it
The 3rd case was the black Experience Case by Cruzerlite. This is a nice slim case and its what I'm using now.

Thanks.

Thank you for the replies! Now i'm going to decide between this 2 cases: spigen bounce and ringke slim

Gumdrop Hideaway Case vs. Otterbox Defender

Hello, anybody has both cases? How are they compared with each other?
Could any Gumdrop Hideaway Case user please let us know the weight? Thanks.

1.1 pounds according to Amazon..
i bought it.. it's pretty heavy once fitted... but i'm liking it...
Thanks. I am interested in the one in white color. Does it get dirty easily?

I got the white one... 3 months already.. Still clean with kids playing on it and stuff... One thing though.. The plastic screen may impact the screen... See a review on Amazon. I'm using pen most of the time. So no issues... Nothing you can't live with. You could of course remove the plastic cover and get another protector..
Thanks for the experience. I read that many users removed the plastic cover. Are you able to get the real weight of the case with and without the cover?

I don't know if this would work for you, but the Ringke Fusion has a clear back, and includes a template for you to print your own designs for the back. You could have the most kawaii back ever if you find a decent picture and print it off to the specs necessary.
I found http://www.skinit.com/create-your-own. But No for nexus 6!
I think I should wait!
I don't have any pics of the case on the phone but I can tell you the fit is 100%. The built in screen protector is nice and clear and doesn't drag when you touch it. The port covers close great and don't flap or open unexpectedly. The power/volume buttons are easy to press and are distinguishable. I honestly don't have a single complaint .

I'm actually curious as to whether you could cut the clear back out of this one and make an edge only bumper out of it.
I don't know, maybe but i don't know if it would stay on the phone after.
I like the Armorbox a lot. I use it for work or when I go to the gym. Its nice and grippy on all four sides due to the slighty rubbery texture. I took the screen protector off because i have a glass one. Ive already dropped my phone back side down on a hardwood floor and the case took it like a champ.

Could you get a pic of the inside of the outer shell where the buttons are? I bought a Supcase Heavy Duty but it made horrible contact with the buttons on the N6. I had to be very deliberate with my presses to get them to work. I ended up returning the case but I have attached an image of my old Trident case for my Moto X showing what I mean. Thanks.

Ultra thin case

Has anyone found an ultra thin case like a Calicase or Peel?
so far i can't find one. i loved the offical LG case for the nexus 5x. it was basically a cover for the back and had cutout on the bottom. all i want is to protect the back from scuffs. don't need a big case.
I'm holding out for the Ringke Slim to come out for the Pixel. It's been a perfect slim case for my old Nexus 5, Nexus 5X, and then the 6P.
I'll be using the Pleson TPU case in the mean time.
I ordered a pleson from amazon. It features some sort of dots on the back to prevent sticking air bubbles patterns. Get get on my s6edge with tpu cases today. We'll see how it holds up.
I've been looking for a thin case myself. I just put my Pixel into this case a few minutes ago:

I was skeptical because of the top and bottom which typically are nonexistent on these types of cases but I'm very happy.

I was looking at this case last night! Looks like the Ringke Slim, which I've had in the past and loved. Was it tight when putting it on? My only concern with these kinds of cases is scraping the edges of the phone when putting it on/taking it off.

I just popped it out and back in to see and no it didn't seem to be too tight. I don't believe this is a concern. The edges of the case are also rounded and have a soft matte type of finish.
Good case option from Amazon
If you need a quick case at a good price, try this one out. I ordered it in advance. It isn't that special but does the basics. I think it is slim, but not ultra slim. Check it out until more cases hit the market. Different colors and styles are available.
Search amazon for this name and brand. $7.99 shipped:
Google Pixel Case, DGtle [Shock Absorbent] Anti-Scratches TPU Gel Premium Slim Flexible Soft Bumper Rubber Protective Case Cover for Google Pixel (Smoke Black)
What I need is something like the custom live cases from Google, but not at $50 CAD. I have a Spigen thin fit on my 6P and I'm looking for something similar, but not clear.
what you guys are listing and talking about are thin cases, OP is looking for ultra thin cases, like the orzly flexslim series:
http://orzly.com/products/flexi-slim
I hoping they will come out with one for the pixel too, these are really just for scratch protection and will offer literally no drop protection, its similar to having a slim on your phone but more flexibility as you can just put it on and take it off easily.

i'm hoping to go with just a bumper case around the outer edge, because this phone is a beauty and i dont want to cover it up! that said, if i did get a full case and wanted to keep it relatively slim, i'm probably go with the diztronic matte slim case. i have one on my 5x, and it's been not only great at protecting on minor falls and bumps, but has held up extremely well over time. couldn't say enough about that case. looks like amazon currently has it available for purchase, but it's not shipping until 11/4.
I'm using this i love the feel and fit on it. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LEAMYFS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

Are the edges the same color as the back (a matte black)? or are they glossy?

Thanks for the suggestion, but that's actually exactly the case I have on right now. What I meant was a case with open top, open bottom and open buttons. But not clear.
There seems ot be some confusion on what an "Ultra thin" case actually is. let me help you guys better understand this, and why android people want huge clunky cases baffles me, but coming from a lifetime of androids, then switching to a 6s, and having a fantastic case experience... this is annoying.
This is an ultra thin case:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JH87ZSQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Notice the use of factory buttons, it does not cover the bottom of the device, yet still wraps the corners so if dropped is protected. so far the closest I have found on amazon for my Pixel is this case from this thread:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M3MQCG0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Which I ordered, and will arrive Thursday.
If there are plastic buttons that cover up the factor buttons that stick out of the case, it's safe to assume it's not an ultra thin case.
Just got that one by Maxboost and I can confirm its definitely the thinnest "case" out there right now. It's definitely a shell more than a case, and it's a bit slick, but overall I think I'm gonna stick with it. I used some fine steel wool to give it some grip, and it feels better IMO.

Bingo bingo. People don't seem to get it. I settled for the maxboost also but it looks like decent space between the camera and the case worrying me. Calicase and peel are the leaders IMHO in this thin case space. Just no love for the pixel.

Accessories Thinborne Super Thin Minimalist Style Aramid Fiber Case

Just got this case for my S23 Ultra when I get it. If your looking for a styled case with the protection you need for your new phone, check out the site. Thinborne has never let me down with the cases they design. A++++
ThinBorne
ThinBorne
thinborne.com
They also have more rugged cases if you need more protection for your phone.
https://getcaseborne.com/collections/samsung-galaxy-s23-ultra-case
Minimalistic in all aspects.
No chance I would buy something similar again.
FYI those cases can and will damage sides/corners of the phone as they will scratch paint etc.

Tru, so it is best for people who want to use case like not case
also, we actually add a tempered glass screen protector with the case lol
just want to shock you!
hi; anyone bought and used this acse? looks really nice, i prefer vs pitaka and latercase, but it looks that it is not available right now? apparently, supplier problem; anyway, real experience regarding this?
how it holds up and if it scratches the sides or blocks the signal
I have purchased similar cases. They often no real protection. Looks cool though. There are two different types of aramid case apparently.
