LOVE these minimal cases, add just enough protection to your devices. There is a small issue with the Ultra, the buttons sometimes don't push properly; I have reported it to @OneStepAhead & he's looking into it.

Anybody have some insight about cases, considering the ratio of size to protection? This thing is huge and expensive, meaning you want to keep it slim, but have to keep it protected. The note is about as large as I'm comfortable with as-is. But the drop test video I saw showed that the screen is somewhat vulnerable.
A lot of the folding cases look great but it also looks like they don't protect the corners, which are usually the most damaging point of impact.
Any cases you guys know of that are very effective for protecting against drops, but keep it slim? And how protective is a screen guard against impact? It seems like if a screen guard is rigid, it probably doesn't do a whole lot for force, just scratches.

Most basic TPU cases will give you enough drop protection and are thin. You will still get dents and the like from dropping, but TPU is enough to keep your screen from cracking in my experience.
I prefer Spigen cases for a good balance between slim and protectiveness. Spigen Neo Hybrid and the Slim Armor case for my S4 held up through multiple drops with 0 damage to my phone. I ordered the Neo Hybrid case again for the Note 3. I am also interested in the Slim Armor View if they make it for the Note 3
I liked my UAG Scout case for my Note 2, but it was fairly bulky.
Some of the case listed below aren't for the Note 3 because since I haven't seen them listed yet for. Just linking them since they were mentioned in my post.

I think the Spigen Bounce case is pretty slim and isn't heavy at all. I posted a quick review of it with some pictures. I don't even know what it's made of, but it's soft so it should be able to take a good amount of impact assuming you don't throw your phone. Also, add a glass protector and you should be good.
Tmo sells the tech21 impactology case. It is $35 but it is good

Thanks, this is extremely helpful! Spigen looks like the way to go. I bought a cheap one to tide me over until I can figure out how much size I can tolerate. That Spigen dual case looks like the likely winner.
Simple case, protects the phone and doesn't add much bulk.

VRS Design was nice enough to send us the three cases to review. As far as bulk goes the High Pro Shield is the thinnest followed by the Triple Mixx, with the Damda Clip being the thickest of the three. My personal favourite between the three is the Triple Mixx, I like it's unique look and it's not too bulky either.
I've attached some photos.

We'd really appreciate some feedback as well.
Hello dear all
I had the chance to get my hands on a very nice product, it is called the RhinoShield, which is case for our Galaxy S7.
I'd like to share with you a short review from my experience I had since the last days I was using it. At this point I also wanted to say a big thanks to RhinoShield for sending this to me for a review!
Review:
I really like the fact that the back isn't covered, so you can still feel your device as it is in your hand. I know that this can be a dealbreaker as well in case you want to cover the back of the phone too. As already mentioned, the case looks really nice with a very minimal design in a good way, so the designers did a good job there. And even with such a minimal design you will still be able to have a good drop protection, as the case has bigger edges then the phone. So when you lay the phone on the table, nothing else will touch the table then the case, same for the front and back.
In my daily usage I am very confident with the bumper case and I will probably stick to it for a while. I hope you got a little idea about this new awesome case! Down below I listed the pros and cons in a list:
Positive Points:
- Very minimal
- Good locking
- Perfect when you want to feel your devices back even with a case
- Phone lays on the case (on a table) and not on the camera
- Protected from drops
- If your phone would crash frontwise, it will land on the case and not on the display
- Phone still feels good while holding
Negative Points:
- Back of the phone isn't protected
In case my review interests you, have a look at RhinoShield to view the cover yourself!
Hi all,
As most of you know, I've been testing out every case I can get my hands on. It's been more difficult this year, there doesn't seem to be as much choice and companies such as Spigen have really dragged their heels on getting cases out for this community. Here it is, my top 5 cases out at the moment which will do you proud.
1. Orzly Fusion Bumper
This case I've only had for a week or so and it's already risen to the top of my list. It's absolutely my favourite and I'll tell you why:
- Protects the case well.
- Adds extra grip to the phone.
- Combo's well with your favourite skin manufacturer (Xtreme, dBrand, Slick etc..)
Overall it's the best all round case, it's nowhere near as expensive as the official OnePlus stuff and it's my daily driver on the OnePlus 5.
2. Tudia OMNIX
Another latecomer to the party (in fact I've only just published the video on this one) but a fairly decent one. This case is my "if I'm going on a messy night out case."
What I mean by that, is that it provides excellent all round protection without completely compromising the use of the phone (like a flip case) It has a built in screen protector, which if used for longer stretches could get annoying and has port covers which makes the phone better protected against those accidental drops in beer.
3. Orzly Slim Stand Case
I'm rewarding Orzly here because of all the case manufacturers they seem to be the one taking risks on the OnePlus 5. Not only have they changed up their, FlexiCase, Wallet & Fusion designs they've produced an entirely new case for the OnePlus this year with the Slim Stand case.
The Slim Stand case make's it onto the list because it's not a case that I thought I'd like much when I saw it on Amazon. I ordered it, just so I could do a review and then probably stick it back in it's box. However to my surprise I've really enjoyed using this case. It's given me the functionality of a more traditional flip case, without the annoying "flip" element.
It feels really premium in the hand and uses the phones beauty and elegance to it's advantage. It's also a really handy case for those of you still playing Pokemon Go as you can use the stand to rest your finger through when you're out walking!
4. Spigen Rugged Armor
Spigen make it onto the list, even though they're main cases are still slated for release in September. Months after the phone was released! Imagine how much further they'd be up if they'd put some effort in!
Those of you which have had the Rugged Armor in the past know what to expect. It's premium at a reasonable price and it'll do what it says on the packaging, which is add extra grip and impact protection. It help's that it looks pretty nice also!
It can be said that you could probably get the Orzly FlexiCase for a little cheaper if you wanted to save some pennies.
5. OnePlus Silicone Red Case
I initially loved this case, but my love waned the longer I had it on the phone. This is very much a "showpiece" case with little utility, but if you've been racking up those referral points, already purchased the backpack then this would be my next choice. It feels super on the phone, adds some welcome colour- just don't leave it on for too long or it'll start to fade and feel tacky!
Thanks,
Let me know if you have any questions!

No mention of the Otterbox?

I'm trying to take into consideration cost vs effectiveness. At least for me, the Otterbox is far too expensive to make it worth purchasing over any of these cases!
Do you feel the ring on the back of the Orzly Slim Stand Case, prevents you from laying the phone down screen side up because it would make the phone 'uneven'?
I really don't like laying my phone down facedown. Seems counterintuitive in my head if I'm trying to protect the screen from scratches.
Also, does the ring on the back keep the phone from sliding in and out of your pocket smoothly?
^That first point is what stopped me from continuing to use my Spigen Style ring.
