Got a cheap BodyGlove case at WalMart. Too slippery for me but by far the thinnest I've found for it
I`ve bought a real carboncase. It`s the thinnest you can find.

I'm currently using the Spigen thin fit case and I love it, looks awesome as its not thick like most cases.
this is my option :
- SPIGEN Rugged Armor Samsung Galaxy S7 – BLACK
- RINGKE Slim SAMSUNG Galaxy S7
- SHUMURI Slim 0.35mm Samsung Galaxy S7
- VERUS Single Fit Samsung Galaxy S7
I've literally tried almost every big name brand at this point. And I love the Ringke SLIM Case
I have the Spigen Slim Fit and was happy with it until I found the Nillkin frosted.
http://www.nillkin-case.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=4469
I now have both and only ever use the Nillkin. They're very similar but the Nillkin is very slightly thinner whilst offering great protection and also has slightly less plastic covering the phone, which I like. It also has better grip as the back is textured (nurled) and Spigen is mat-ish finish. The coating on the Spigen has also started to chip/wear after only a short time, which is disappointing. The Nillkin doesn't have any coating as it's through-coloured and the texturing is moulded in so no wear issues at all. The final decider was that the Nillkin obscures less of the screen (by about 1mm each side) than the Spigen and the lip at the front is also lower, making swiping in from either side easier. The Nillkin also works perfectly with the Ultimate Shield Tempered Glass protector as there's around 1/2mm clearance between the protector and edge of case.
One last thing is that the plastic it's made from isn't totally rigid but it is hard-ish. It does have some elasticity, which can only be a good thing. You can twist the case very slightly with gentle force and this flexibility must surely give greater bump protection than the rigid plastic cases which just shatter in impact. It also allows wireless charging as well without any issue.
The Nillkin is the best case I've ever had and perfect balance of protection, coverage and grip and for the money its' unbeatable. I'll be buying these from now on for all my phones.

For me that's a positive. I wanted a minimal case but which will still give good protection. If you want ultra protection you need a rugged case. The likelihood of dropping the phone cleanly on one of the ends (perpendicular impact) is almost zero. With this case the back and corners are (almost) fully covered and AFAIAC that's enough. The Spigen Ultra Slim that you said you liked in the OP gives the same level of protection to the ends but possibly 1-2mm more corner protection but they're still not fully covered. TBH I don't see why either company couldn't cover the ends and corners fully (with a small slit on the corners to allow for fitting), would seem logical.
You can try Ringke's Ultra Thin case. It covers all sides of the phone. Very lightweight and and thin.

Slim is relative

Not sure if this classifies as "slim" for most people, but I came from an LG G3 with the Zerolemon battery so anything is slim. Wireless charging, Samsung pay, all work with this case.
I chose a little more "bump" for my buck with the Symmetry case, but I've since dropped it several times and had no adverse effects.
I have Ringke Air Smoke and it's very cool for me!
I'm very pleased with this case: MSVII
Only around $3.25

took some time for delivery cuz it ships from China, but great case. I'm also attaching pics.
Fits perfectly and very slim

Hi everyone! Just recently got this behemoth of a phone, and it is just too beautiful to go naked bc if I dropped it, it's over. So that saying, my mom has a Galaxy note 2 and she has a case-mate POP case from AT&T on clearance for like $5, and it's a solid case. I want a case similar to this case, where if the phone landed on it's face, it won't be damaged a lot since there's enough lip on the case. This won't really be a major factor since I will be putting a tempered glass protector on it. The major thing I'm trying to find is a case where it won't eat a lot of lint if you do fit it in your pocket, and won't slip off at the corners if you do drop it! I have seen cases that is made out of just TPU claiming tight fit, but as soon as it lands, the phone goes one way and the case goes the other, and also the battery....
I have seen the spigen slim armor, and it looks solid compare to the neo-hybrid. All the other cases are too bulky, like the lovemei, or the ballistic series. Please list your suggestion, and real life photos of the case, including the lip clearance on the screen if you can so I can make my decisions Thanks a lot once again!:good::fingers-crossed:
Slim Armor is a good option if you don't want too much bulk. This case fits very snugly and won't come off unless you pill it off. It provides only modest drop protection though. If you want really good protection an Otterbox commuter or similar such as trident aegis would be better. Those cases make the phone significantly larger though.

I just got the spigen neo hybrid and it's a really nice slim case. I love the styling. Seems like it should be adequate protection for normal use. I just got it today though so not going to comment on the long term.

I've been using my note 3 naked till I got a rock joyful case. It increased the width but not the thickness of the overall feel and it's harder to remove the s-pen but it give me a safer feeling when using it without worrying if drop compared to naked!

thank you all for your answer! The urban armor looks decent but still pretty thick. The otterbox series I don't like since that's over bulking, the spigen slim armor is possibly the best case imo but I don't know how good it is until one of the guy here said it's pretty tight fit

I have one of these cases..probably the best things ever. Had one for my S4 previously, and it took so much damage! My phone is a big thicker now, but it's protected without being otterbox thick
I have both a UAG and otterbox commuter. Used to use those cheap tpu case and I thought it was fine until I dropped any bent my speaker grill.
Ever since then, I'm addicted to UAG. Beware of fakes though. I feel the otterbox a bit too heavy to use.

I currently am running the Supcase Unicorn Beetle and absolutely love this case. I switched over from the Ballistic a little over a month ago and am I impressed. A $20 case that fully protects your phone and isn't bulky. I have tiled floors and I have dropped my phone numerous times and phone is still fully operational with 0 damage..
Spigen ultra hybrid clear to showcase the dbrand skin. The Supcase is nice I just wish it came in an ultra clear.
Spigen neo hybrid had the nilken bumper but I'm a cook and its easier to clean a case then a phone I like it got it on the 80% off sale so it was like 6 bucks best buttons of any case feels just like the stock ones

Incipio dualpro, spigen crystal screen protector, and a maxpedition tc-II pouch just because this thing is too large for me to pocket carry. I've dropped it twice the first time it broke the Verizon crystal screen protector so I swapped to spigen, and haven't had any issues.
Started with the Unicorn Beetle Sup case good case made the phone huge though, moved on to the Nillkin Willtoo bumper case and really liked it. Just got the i-Blason case ive had it for a couple days and it is a decent case so far.

Spigen ultra hybrid clear. Had a Seidio but it was too slippery. Kept the holster though. works well with the Spigen.
i am using the obliq Flex Pro Series and it's supeb, the only problem is that you can recognize which button you are pressing.
Just got my Nexus yesterday (so we're hardly talking long term use here) but I have the Ringke Fusion Crystal and am happy.
I didn't want to end up with a massive case so I'm still on the lookout for something a little more protective.

Trident Aegis. I seem to be developing a habit of dropping mine about once every two weeks.
Last time was on to a tile floor from about waist level. I didn't even bother picking up my phone until i finished what I was doing and it was fine.
spigen crystal/metal ultra, neo hybrid also.
I have other cases I use sometimes but mostly spigen ultra hybrid.
Can anyone tell me why I can't post photos here? Can't do it from Google drive or Flickr.

Ringke MAX, great case, full coverage and not bulky
Like the OP, I have the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle case. It does make the phone a little bulky, but as my 3 year old daughter often plays with my phone in her hospital bed I like having the amount of protection it offers.
The downside is I already have a screen protector on the phone, so the built in screen protector interacts with the one that I installed and is creating air bubbles which my daughter continues to think are dirty spots. Would remove the other screen protector, but every now and again I will pull the phone out of the case when I don't need the protection.
As a side note, I have found that during charging with the turbo charger, the phone does run a few degrees Celsius warmer, and if I leave an intensive application (read as Taichi Panda, or another 3D game) then the phone is almost too hot to pick up; usually have to remove the case to cool the phone down efficiently.

I'm still using the Skrillix live case with glass screen protector. I normally change cases and wallpapers often but I like the ever changing wallpaper on this thing. Protection wise though it just looks nice until I probably drop it.
I just got my s8 around 3 weeks ago and I'm currently using the thin fit case from spigen in black colour and I'm loving the grippy surface. however after around 2 weeks the rubber started peeling off in flakes and it's really annoying as i keep getting the flakes on my hand and in my pocket. Is this just my case or does this happen to all of the thin fit cases out there. and are there any other cases that feel almost exactly the same as this case? (slimness and the cutouts at the volume rocker and the power button)

I've been using this one for the past week.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XRW9K28/
hey thanks for suggesting, however, i really prefer the cutouts for the buttons as i like to feel the buttons click when i press them and that case does not have cutouts. thanks for replying tho!
Wow that picture is crazy. I've had the thin fit for many phones, never had that happen. There's only one logical explanation.
http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/facebook/000/158/326/9148130.jpg
Either that, or you literally sweat battery acid from your palms. Amazing.
That's just being careless. Amazing how you can ruin a case in 3 weeks. It's full of scratches and holes.
RINGKE Slim. I got it when I had the S8+. I like this version better as it covers all four sides of the phone. Unfortunately I order for s8+ and got regular s8 case instead. Returned case for refund, eventually got rid of s8+ too. (I can never stick with one device for too long)
a little pricey but it goes on sale sometimes. meets a lot of your requirements. not sure how sticky the case is compared to the thin fit. my thin fit is almost too sticky

The holes are for the power, volume, and Bixby buttons, and for the camera/fingerprint scanner module.
I have one that is very similar to Spigen Thin Fit.
Actually, is even better on the texture (doesn't catch dirt) and even thinner.
I did had the same problems as you on the Spigen, the coating started to peel off on less than a month of use.

I am using the Spigen Thin fit and my finish on the phone is still very good. I used the same case on the 5x without having that happen. Had to be something you cleaned it with or just defective. However i ordered a carbon fiber case similar to it, real carbon fiber from Amazon. Can't wait.
Obviously way more expensive but based on the reviews i say worth it.
Try Galaxy S8 Case, VANSIN 3 In 1 Ultra Thin $9.99 /w 4.5 stars on 62 reviews. Also rubberized matte like Spigen Thin Fit.
I have the same problem. Not to the same extend, but it's certainly fading.
For now I live with it. Doesn't look to nice but still does it's job. And no, it's neither being careless nor acidic sweat. My phone sits in a desk all day or is in my pocket alone. From my guitar experience I can tell you for sure I don't have sweat that's any kind of wearing on materials. The quality of this cases finish is just sub par...

It has the same touch/coating as the Thin Fit, and it can become the same as in the opening post.
Mine started to peel like this, after once I've held it in my hand, while there were some sunscreen on my hand.

My Spigen Slim Fit is doing the exact same thing after 2 months. I no longer see the slim fit on Spigen's site anymore, mby they know something is wrong with those cases. I have always used Spigen, but this is a total let down. That carbon fiber case looks great!

Curious how that gold plating holds up after use, or a small drop. If you purchased it can you give feedback or show actual pics of the case?
Thanks for recommendations
wish i saw this thread before i ordered the exact same case as the OP
mine's only a week old so far, so obviously no problems. but i'm familiar with this coating and i know it won't last (lots of computer mouse use this kind of coating)
Got my S23U today, I had bought the Spigen tough armour case for it.
I have found that this case seems pretty bad for use with screen protectors. I had put a glass screen protector on and when I pushed the phone into the case, it makes the sides of the screen protector lift a tiny bit as it shows a load of bubbles that weren't there at all prior to putting into the case.
I tried putting another screen protector on and tying again and this one done exactly the same.
After looking at it all, the case is very thick, so i am going to try to get a different one.
Has anyone else tried this case?
I bought one for my S22U but I only used it briefly. It wasn't a good ergonomic fit for me.
The dbrand grip case I'm using is and I highly recommend it. I have one on order for my S23U.
No screen protector compatibility issues with it either.

Spigen makes their own screen protectors that are meant to work with their cases. I have never used one though as the Tough Armor always extends far enough beyond the screen of the phones I've used it on that I've never managed to crack one.
i always been curious why people wear their phone with these gigantic extreme cases.
I'm definitely pro case, but phone are already quite tough, an a little layer of silicone (plus possibly a glass screen protector) would be enough to prevent damages in most of the circumstances

I have large hands. Big cases actually make it easier for me to type without cramping my fingers. In addition to making sure I don't break the glass on my expensive toy.
Keep in mind, I used to carry around this thing... Nothing these days compares to the thickness of this thing.

I'd suggest going with the Neo Hybrid and Spigen's screen protector
I've had the Spigen Tough Armor for probably 5 of my past phones and it is definitely a favorite of mine. I change cases every few days along with the Spigen Liquid Crystal, Samsung S-View, a leather wallet case, and the CaseBorne heavy-duty case. This year's S23U CaseBorne is a bit too big and tight for me, so it likely won't be in rotation very often. I don't use any screen protector.
My problem with spigen cases is that the power & volume buttons are open not fully sealed like samsung cases or other high end covers which get dust & particles into the cover & scratches the frame when trying to remove it
Perfect combo for me.
Of the 2 Spiegen cases that I use, the Liquid Crystal does have open button coverings, but the Tough Armor does not.
Hi,
I'm looking case with magsafe so i can attach finger ring. I never ever have any case on my phones so i'm completely beginner in this case world... Thing is that 23u is little to big to comfortable hold it in one hand for me... So i'm looking case with magsafe but as thin as possible. I was found some silicone with this feature but mostly non brand or brands that i never heard before so do not know if i will waste my money. Any one maybe use one and can help?

You also have another option: attach ESR haloring to your favorite case.
This will give you the strongest magnetic connection I've tested so far and on your case of choice!
I was leaning towards a Pitaka case, but changed my mind at the last minute....partially due to price, shipping time, poor screen protection, unavailability of some Pitaka accessories, etc. I decided to get the Torras magsafe case on Amazon, thinking I might still get the Pitaka down the road. Well turns out I love the Torras case and planning on sticking with it. Got a handful of cheap magsafe accessories from Amazon (wallet, ring, car mount/charger, wireless battery pack) and they all work great.

Never. For maximum protection the backs I choose are always hard, not rubber, silicone, leather.

Keep in mind, on the S23U, most magsafe solutions mess with the s-pen.

Really depends on the brand and how powerful of magnets they use, in fact, in my experience, I would say most don't mess with the s-pen. I have several now that don't bother my s-pen at all, including the Anker 633 powerbank while charging. Meanwhile, most ESR accessories do affect the s-pen. Just do your research before buying, or purchase from Amazon where they have a good return policy and shop via trial and error.
I had the Magbak for the s22 ultra and it was my favorite. Not too thick but full protection, unlike the Pikata type cases. The magnets were so strong I could put it on a vertical metal surface and it will stay. It just won't be out until the end of March if you can wait.

This case magsafe compatible very nice case little pricy but premium phone deserves a premium case
Paying $50+ for a frickin case seems a bit over the top to me, but I have to remind myself my S23 Ultra was a $1,300 (retail) phone. I bought and returned 15, yep count 'em, 15 cases for the S23 Ultra. I've always gone for the thinnest with decent protection on all my phones. None of this ugly "military grade" BS. This phone is a BRICK without a case!
The best case I found for the money was the Frontology Carbo fiber. It's as thin as the Pitaka but covers the buttons and sides of the screen glass WAY better. The carbon finish looks a little nicer on the Pitaka but more noticeable on the Frontology (if you want to be more flashy.) But the Frontology isn't MagSafe which I didn't need anyway so it was a no brainer at $11.95 versus $64.95. So I returned the Pitaka.

But then I found this new phone is so heavy it slides around on the magnet that it lays flat on in the center console of my car. Where my Note 20 Ultra didn't mainly because the phone is a little heavier and the carbon surface is more slippery than my Note20 Ultra case was. There is enough metal in the S23 to get some pull from the magnet but not enough to keep it from sliding going around corners faster than normal.
I didn't want a visible ring on the outside of my case. Sort of pointless to get a really nice looking case in my opinion only to ruin it with a big Magsafe ring.
So searched and searched and besides the overpriced Mous and Pitaka, the only other option in a MagSafe case that doesn't show the ring is the Nilkin. The Nilkin is a hard case with a soft to touch matte finish with texture that is less ostentatious than carbon fiber and it's virtually impossible to get fingerprints on. The Magsafe magnets are in the case so you can't see them like the Pitaka and Mous. The compromise you have to make to get a case with embedded Magsafe at 1/3 the price of the Pitaka and Mous is that it's thicker. If you are used to the eggshell thin Pitaka or the like, this case will feel significantly thicker but actually the thickness is average if not slightly thinner than the average case. It offers WAY better protection than the Pitaka which one could argue, on a $1,300 phone, you probably don't want to skimp on protection but don't go overboard and buy the Hummer of cases for the paranoid.
So the Nilkin hit the sweet spot: good protection without being overly bulky, good value and 1/3 the price of the Pitaka, compatible with curved glass screen protector, and embedded/hidden Magsafe magnets so no ugly ring on the outside of the case.

Coincidentally I dropped my phone off a bar counter onto a hard surface after I got this case. It was unfazed. The material although a hard case, seems very grippy and scratch/fingerprint resistant. But it you really want an "eggshell" partial case like the Pitaka, this definitely isn't the one for you.
I paied 16 euro in this mag case that is very light with a good feeling to touch but I've some doubt on protection:
