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

I'm using this one from Amazon and very happy with it - only scratch protection, but that's what I was looking for - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XHFYJM7
I just purchased this one. Waiting for it to come in Wednesday. I can post some pictures once I have it.

This looks closest to peel/Cali case I always use, will be purchasing this for myself , got the wife a Spigen liquid armor she needs a bit more protection
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.

This is CaliCase. They changed their name.
Get the elago case from Amazon. It's sooooooooooooo slim! It's .3 I believe and leaves you the flush look of the phone. Just need a decent screen protector now lol

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 just got this case from Amazon.
Exactly what I was looking for.
Very slim, no branding, matte black.

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.

i got the calicase and it is super thin almost feels like you are not using a case and i love it
I have the Nillkin Nature and love the case. I did purchase the Ringke Fusion Air for comparison as well, and it's thicker than the Nillkin Nature.

How is the grip compared to "regular tpu"? One of the reviews say it is really slippery.
Seems the Nilkin is thicker but also has some extra side grip... Hmm.
The Nillkin case is garbage - such thin TPU that it deforms easily. I have the Ringke SLIM and its a pretty decent choice for a slim case.
It is a little slippery but it looks fantastic
Unfortunately CaliCase doesn't seem to ship to the European Union...
Or outside of the US, for that matter...
man the calicase really looks perfect for me, unfortunately I'm in the EU also and they don't seem to ship here
i have the nillkin natura, it's perfect! the materials are great, and aesthetics of the phone is not damaged by the cover.
black color on s7 onyx black is great.
I have the calicase, and it's definitely the thinnest case I've ever owned. It also does not interfere with my coral edge to edge screen protector (which I'm not a fan of, but that's a different story). As others have stated, it's a little slippery, but not enough to really bother me.
i got the calicase and love it... not too slippery imho. soooo thin
I am another fan of the calicase. However, you should know that it makes the power and volume buttons nearly impossible to depress without trying more than once. Small drawback, but I still love it.

could you please post some pics with the Nillkin and the Ringke mounted on the phone, i'm interested in both(more in the Nillkin 'cause it's slimmer), i had it on the S6 and i loved it, but the S7 has the more curved edges and i wanted to see how it fits around the screen, i bought a very slim Rock TPU case and the edges are very sharp, and i have the feeling the the phone wants to get out of the case(it' aliiiiiiiiive )) ) thanks

I don't has have either case any longer. I'm now using the Rock thin tpu, Ringke Fusion and the Ringke Onyx.
The Nillkin didn't fit properly after I put a carbon fiber back skin and the Ringke Air was way too thick for my liking.
thanks, i have the Rock too but the edges are quite sharp, i already ordered the Nillkin ,i also have a protector on the back, a 0.2mm one, i hope the Nillkin fits well ?

The rock case I have isn't sharp at all. Might of been fixed?
What's the absolute grippiest solution for this phone? Most skins don't give a lot of confidence. Egrips doesn't make something for our phone and those rings or popsockets are huge
These sandstone cases are the solution http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSVII-Slim-...hash=item33bedfb626:m:mkaiNfq5LXgpPGOyD4m0Sbg
Go to the patchworks website. I can't post the link because i don't have 10 posts but i already have a spigen neo hybrid which is slippery but i kept because i like the color. The patchworks case has a slim and just a regular case but both have special grip on the side where you hold the phone.
i just got the alcantara case and it's by far the grippiest case ive used on any phone.
You could also try a bumper as well. Adds minimal bulk (also won't hide the color of your phone) and will add some grip too. I've heard of bumpers for the iPhone, but didn't realize there were ones for Android phones as well, haha. XD Erika Griffin mentioned one when she did her S8 unboxing on her Youtube channel -- the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper Case. I couldn't find it on Amazon, but I included the link to their official site.

Thanks. Bumpers unfortunately are too big. They add a lot of width to the phone which is already extremely big one handed

That sucks. D: Only other thing I can think of would be to try something like the Spigen Thin Fit or Airskin cases as they're about the thinnest cases you can get.
EDIT TO ADD: Almost forgot the Spigen Liquid Air case, which of the ones I mentioned, I actually own this one. The pattern on it seems grippy, but I have to see how it feels in-hand when I get the device.

it adds a lot of grip if you "squeeze" the phone, but not that much when placed on a slope.
I got this one and it seems grippy enough to me!
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XP6KZKC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The speck pseudo grip is pretty decent. Pricey though.
I bought the Spigen Slim Armor / Metal Slate case for mine and it's a nice, tight fit. Feels great in the hand. Edges have a rubberish feel to them but don't add allot of bulk. Now the trick will be in finding a screen protector that will work with. Like I said, TIGHT!
My solution was the honeycomb skin from slick wraps. I've used it on my last 2 phones.
I agree with pieman13, I got a dbrand skin for my S6. Protects the glass from stuff wedging between the case and the back and is the right grip
Double post.
Ordered the new black dragon... Let's see
shoot a load of jizz right to the back of your phone. it'll stay sticky and grippy, as a bonus no one else will want to mess with your phone.
I bought this case because it looked super thin. I know this is for the S8+ (this regular s8 forum is more active ), and it's awesome. It definitely is super thin, so it won't add much in terms of protection, but it has an amazing feel. Very grippy in the hand, and even on slanted surfaces. I love the feel it adds to the phone, and the size is perfect. The white specs are more pronounced in the pictures on Amazon than they are in person, they are still noticeable but not "sparkly" looking like they appear on the pictures online.

Ordered one to see how it comapres to my Nillkin case I just got (review up in accessories)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/accessories/best-slim-case-ive-t3597761
Holy crap, the Sandstone case posted by @peachpuff is AMAZING
Super thin and the texture is awesome.
It's even thinner than the Nillken which is hard to believe
Only issue is it DOES NOT have enough of a lip on the front to lift the screen off a flat surface if laid screen down. Not a huge detractor for me as I never have my phone screen down.
First off, I have ZERO affiliation with this company - I paid full price for the case and waited 2 weeks for it to come from China (I had this case with my V20 and was happy they made it for the S8)
I have bought slim cases from Ringke, Spigen, Caseology for the S8 (all from Slickdeals $$$ off posts) and so far all of them felt a bit too slick and thick(compared to what I've experienced with other phones).
I don't know why more companies don't use the "Salient point" design (what this company calls the textured back)
Makes it extremely easy to hold the phone and a good feel in the hands.
Is it worth $10 when you have other slim case options out there for much less (with promotions)? Since I've experienced the feel of it previously I personally think it's worth it. I do wish they had US stock and didn't ahve to wait so long for it.
Now I will say this thing is THIN, like this is going to offer almost no protection from a drop thin (you get corner and back protection but that's about it). I didn't get it for that, I got it to help with holding the phone. Will a skin accomplish the same- probably and I've considered the Dbrand Dragon skin too.
I will say the case fits SNUG - I had a hard time getting it off to take some pics of it

http://www.ebay.com/itm/232311855985
the thinnest case would be ones made out of polypropylene. some of them get as thin as PAPER. others get thicker/harder plastic feel, but no real point as any drops will crack your glass...
I always buy TPU thermo polyurethane which is very resilient and i've been surprised a few times on how it protected my phones. the thinnest TPU i found are the CIMO
https://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Cimo-...011&ie=UTF8&qid=1493474636&sr=8-5&keywords=s8
I have the Spigen which is too thick, back side measuring 1.4mm on my calipers
EasyAcc TPU which i'm rocking right now which is 1.3mm
Cimo which hasn't come in yet, but... I've had them for s6 and s7 and it only measures 1mm
I like to cut a small hole and mod the TPU cases so that it works on my modded magnetic charger.

I have this case. It's really nice. Fits well, and really is the thinnest possible case at just .025" thick. I must say it is a little slippery even after using it for a few days. I'll probably try and find a similar one that has a bit better grip, but I would certainly recommend it.
I'd also like to mention there is a small raised lip around the camera opening make the fingerprint reader easier to find while adding a little extra protection the camera.

Loving it so far. It is a bit slippery though, not like other TPU cases I have which provide more grip. The separation between the camera and fingerprint scanner is a nice touch too. I'm guessing it is made from some sort of TPU., it is soft and flexible but not silicone. Be aware this is very light protection. I just wanted something to prevent scratches caused by everyday use. I was going to go naked, but this is pretty close and gives some protection.
I'm loving the new spidgen neo hybrid case
Not sure what spidgen case(s) you've tried this far but I absolutely love the neo hybrid case...
Highly recommend this one...

For under 15bux hell, I bought 2 (different colors)!
Look, this case is meant to be a minimalist case so I'm not messaging any claims about what would happen if you dropped it face (screen) first onto gravel or an uneven surface but face first on a flat surface the screen is protected and any other basic drop on a corner, back or side I'm fairly certain it would be fine... I'm even able to charge on a Samsung qi wireless charger with the case on...
The textured back is perfect for holding it and gives the phone a nice secure fit to your hand...
I'd give it a 9/10 as it could use a little motmore stand out protection at top and bottom to better protect The screen - but that said, this case is soo thin you won't even notice it on your front jeans our slacks pocket... its seriously svelte...
I picked up spidgen's screen protector 2pk and it's just ok not a fan of The clarity but it's staying put without issue in this case and will have to do until zagg remedies their issues with Their tempered glass for the s8 which is virtually useless and not very case friendly... (if anyone has found a good tempered glass protector for the s8 please tag me or pm me -ty)

I also have the Nillkin PC Ultra thin case and have also found it to be to best compromise between offering decent protection and staying pretty slim. There also a tiny lip on the screen side so that it won't rest the glass on surfaces. Looking at it from the front, you can hardly tell that the case is on. The Nature TPU case by Nillkin is also very nice, but you can only get it from China at the moment.

How is the grip
---------- Post added at 05:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:49 AM ----------
Does the olixar flexishield actually have something special for grip? They say it's a non slip coating but is it any different than regular tpu
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.
Thanks
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. It's one of the best clear cases I've bought. It's similar in quality to a Spigen or Rinke Fusion case but 1/3 the price. I bought it from here:

Grippy?
Anyone know where can I find this case?
I got this case and I feel it could provide decent protection. I am never a fan of thin or thick case. It's impossible to provide enough raised edges on thin cases. This case isn't perfect but I didn't find anything better yet.

I got mine from eBay but you could find it from AliExpress too.

Do you have a Link?
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!

i just got a Slim case from China, is made by TPU with a matte back ( no slippery ) finish. Is one of the most slim case i have ever seen, but in the same time it protect the phone very good. I got it for around 4 euro Free Shipping to Europe. it also come very good protected inside the package with bubble wrap
I have also look at another case ( Porsche Design ) made by TPU with a Tinted Tempered Glass Semi-Transparent back... i ask the seller to send me a Real Picture and he send me this one

I'm sticking with the Spigen Tough Armor, same one I have on my 3A right now. Along with a 3 pack of Shieldbrainz screen protectors (I went through 3 of those for the 3A in the time I had it, got the 3a just after it dropped).
Edit: Just received the Spigen and compared the case to the 3A case I have. It's just a tad bit shorter in length and just a little thicker but everything else seems right on. The cutouts on the end are even about the same so this gives me some idea of the size difference (seems negligible).

So I have been on a bit of a shopping spree (oops). Thankfully Amazon US has free returns on cases. I currently have the:
DiMiK case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084S3ZY9G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_jbZmFbDRNDBWQ
Caseology Vault: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083Q4SY5G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5aZmFb8PPY0N6
Spigen Liquid Crystal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083N54J5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_OaZmFbVDVR3P1
And tomorrow I get the Cyrill Brick Case: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083QQTQ3V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_5.YmFb2PCB9HQ
Quick notes and observations.
1) All of the cases are the exact same size and thickness.
2) The DiMiK case is as cheap as you would expect. No real corner protection or grip and the form is not perfect.
3) The vault is great quality but notably heavier than the other cases. Outside of the extra weight, my main concern is grip from this case. The texture adds no real grip to the phone. Form is perfect.
4) Liquid crystal also has almost perfect build quality with one small imperfection on the inside of a corner. Very light weight with great protection. The grip on this case is fantastic (important to me). Unfortunately I think it will get noticeably scuffed and will eventually turn yellow.
Q: Are caseology and spigen made by the same company? The form, quality and packaging are almost identical. The difference is the color, weight and grip.
I wish I had a solid color liquid crystal case. That is why I am trying the brick case. No perfect solution yet.
Thought I would share with everyone.

I ordered the clear spigen ultra hybrid

The brick case looks cool with the switchable buttons

I believe so. If you go to the Spigen website, at the top there are links to Caseology and Cyrill, as well as the Spigen Gearlock collection, and all the websites are styled and formatted identically.
That and: https://trademarks.justia.com/owners/spigen-inc-2959513/
I grabbed the pastel black dbrand skin for mine. Phone's plastic and should survive a drop so no case for me.

I just order the Spigen Rugged Armor this morning. https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Rugged-Armor-Designed-Google/dp/B083N5DD7K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=spigen+pixel+4a&qid=1597678531&s=electronics&sr=1-1
I have been happy with my nearly Spigen case for my OnePlus3T. I wish there was a bright red or blue besides just black...but I can live with black. I would have considered the Tough Armor If I had found that in my amazon searches. I like how the Tough Armor gets wider around the camera bump to protect it.

I don't know how that case retails for 39.99 on Spigen's website, and only 14.99 on Amazon, but I ordered one just in case it's a momentary mis-pricing.
Spigen Tough Armor is the way to go. I've dropped my pixel 4a twice on concrete with no issues. I like the way it feels and it performs. Just wish it came in other colors.
There are not a lot of quality choices out there for the pixel 4a., but luckily this one is top drawer.

Got a Caseology Parallax for the wife. She wanted something to add some color to the black phone. Case fits really well and the case looks really nice (if you're into their colors), but it's kind of a bit slippery. I have a feeling it won't be her forever case, but it's a fine case and will probably be the one she uses until we discover her forever case. Buttons are plenty clicky and the phone is plenty protected without being insanely bulky (it's not insanely thin either - it's in the middle of the spectrum but towards the bukly end). She usually goes with a Speck Presidio Grip case, but wanted to try something new. If you don't need a grippy or minimal case, I'd recommend it.
It fits perfectly with an OMOTION or Orzero TGSP.
Got this from Amazon
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086X647CC?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
2 cases for $8
Since I got my phones today and put these on- the fit well, corners are protected, covers the camera. Does everything a case should do
Did I mention it's $8 for 2 cases?
My biggest "look-for" is a case that will allow a phone ring holder to adhere to it securely. That rules out the Caseology Parallax unfortunately for me..
I got a spingen; Black thin; https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Thin-Designed-Google-Pixel/dp/B083N3YT4Z#ace-g7448806443
I got the same one as above^ and two more from the Spigen brand. I love the quality feel on them. Definitely recommend Spigen.
I purchased the Caseology Vault case. Fits fine. The lip around the edge of the screen sometimes makes the gestures a little more difficult but I think I've adapted now.

I would love to get the Tough Armor but that plastic stand seems iffy to me. I've seen reviews of the case and it looks a little flimsy and like it might break. If the back of the case was completely solid without it, it would be my go to no questions asked. For now I picked up a Caseology Parallax which is set to arrive on Monday (my phone was just delivered today) to see if I like it or if I want to switch over to the Spigen Rugged Armor.
