Which case for the s20 ultra is the absolute thinnest? I used to have the TOZO on my s10+ which was paper thin and loved it but they don't make one for s20 series. Any other recommendations?
Pitaka Air Case. Unsure, if it is made for the s20. Mag Case is a little thicker but has metal plates embedded.
Air case is the absolut thinnest, imo.
if your just aiming for scratch resistance maybe go for a skin?

This Totallee thin case is great... I've had this case on my last three phones, including the s20+. Zero drop protection, obviously, but all around scratch protection, and the thinnest case I've come across. Highly recommended.

Pitaka, it's expensive but worth it. Won't come off and doesn't feel flimsy like thin TPUs.
Unfortunately, like thin TPUs offers little protection especially for the screen but if you're into thin you're already aware of that.

I would but ultimately also want scratch and dent protection around the corners which a skin doesn't cover. A super thin case have proven the best option for me as I hardly ever drop my phone and if it happens it falls on a hard wood floor at home where a thin case suffices.
If you want something high quality and not copied / ripped off like this strange YouTubers cases, you want this:

Spigen Air is pretty good too, and inexpensive.
The Samsung LED Cover case is very very minimal, but helps even out the camera bump on the back. Gimmicky LEDs but still fun to show off. Too expensive for many though.

Use this on my S20 Ultra and can't tell there's a case on (apart from the feel in texture)
Just received the Baseus wing case, NEVER have a had a case so thin!
Good day. I have been using since my S8 the MNML cases. Didn't found any thinner than this, 0,35mm

I purchased a carbon fiber case off of Ebay, great quality and the most minimal case I've tried to date. It unfortunately doesn't protect the front screen well but you have to give up some things.

X-Level Ultra Thin is 0.18mm
Half the thickness of most of the cases above .. grip is nice .. $10 from aliexpress ... similar material to my totallee
Do any of these thin cases offer lip protection?

Bare cases are trash, and their customer service is equally trash. The small strip of the case that runs above the volume key cutout is flimsy. I'm on my 2nd bare case since the first started to deform after a couple of weeks. The 2nd case has now done the same. I bought one for my sister's s9, and the edges of the case of the start began to deform after a couple of weeks too.
Bought the Samsung Silicone Cover, it's a bit thicker than the barecase, but at least I can be certain it won't break on me after 2 weeks.

Really? Can't say I've had the same issue's at all. Customer services admittedly are abit slow at responding but not as bad as any other. I was sent a S20 case instead of a S20 Ultra at first so got in touch and they responded within 3 days, polite and friendly and got the correct case sent out to me.
Havnt had any issues with the case deforming or edges breaking as you mentioned though and I've had it around 5 months now.
How long did you have yours before you noticed issues? Cant imagine it was literally 2 weeks.

My first one I noticed the thin strip deforming after maybe 3 weeks. The second one I paid more attention to, and honestly started deforming around 2 weeks in. Not immediately noticeable, but it will get worse over time.
I don't know with the Ultra being a thicker phone in general the case might be more resilient deforming in the same spot, but on my S20+ it is most definitely a design fault.
The first reply from their customer service was prompt enough, but then had to wait over a week for a reply after that and then a further 3 days for a response after that point. Their initial response was I must be keeping my phone in tight jeans or taking the case on and off, but neither of those things are valid. Delivery of the replacement took around a month. Whilst I appreciate that I'm not based in that cheery US of A. Delivery to the UK should not have taken that long.
Overall 3/10, emphasises form over function, and fails at longevity. Plus I couldn't feel the side buttons through the side of it.

I am going to get a s4 soon, and I am wondering if I will need to get a case. Currently on the charge, and when I bought it I got the thicker case vzw offered. Within two weeks it was off, and I have used the phone naked ever since. I have dropped it countless times onto tile and concrete, and the only damage is a few scratches on the back cover and dents in the part of the bezel that extends past the screen (raised edge).
I have read that the s4 is quite fragile. Based on the above, should I get a case? If so, can I get the smallest one available, or should I opt for something bigger?

It's all going to be up to your personal preference. Based on what you said, I would highly recommend a case. The S4 is pretty damn fragile and it's just not worth the risk if you have a history of dropping your phone. As for the size of the case, that is going to be up to you. Obviously the smaller/minimal cases will offer less protection. I like as little bulk as possible so that's fine with me and I have the Spigen Neo Hybrid on my S4 right now. Also consider a screen protector (plastic, tempered glass, etc.). Costly purchases but worth the $250+ investment into your new phone imo. :good:
Dropped mine one time on flat tile from hip height and screen cracked and would not display an image.... Get a case.

I use a speck Candyshell and it doesn't add much bulk or weight to the phone at all, thats my recommendation. The smaller and light silicone cases just don't offer the kind of protection a hard case does. The Candyshells are on the more expensive side, but you can get them on Amazon cheaper than you can on Speck's website

How do you like that case? I have the white on order (as well as the glass screen protector) and was wondering if it looks as good as it does on Spigen's website.
If you're ever going to drop your phone than a case is a good idea.
If it doesn't offer protection to the four corners it's not worth it.
I saw a brand new GS4 dropped from waist height onto asphalt and it bent the metal rim around the screen and messed up the front facing camera.
The guy had a case on it, but it was a plastic sleeve with a stand that didn't cover the corners.
As far as screen protectors go I think they're a waste of money. The phone has gorilla glass. Unless you find yourself regularly working with materials that are actually hard enough to scratch the screen, it's just going to be another layer for glare and bubbling imperfections.
I had a Droid Charge for 2 years and only scratched it once, when I had some marble dust under my finger nail.
JIHAD MY BOI.
I currently have an Incipio DualPro Shine on my S4. Offers pretty decent protection without being stupid thick, like the otterbox.

I found the phone without a case too slippery and knew it would be dropped. I got the urban armor gear case and love it. IMO it is the the best mix of protection, slimness, and cool factor

probably a good idea
I have a screen protector and a casemate toughcase on mine. A week or so ago I dropped the phone onto concrete from thigh level. I was scared as all could be that it would be cracked cause it sound like it hit hard, and it hit bottom first. Nothing happened luckily. I was wondering about the protection quality of that case, so far so good. It's a two piece case, and can be had for around 20 something bucks on amazon. I recommend getting a case.
I use a combination of a screen protector with the Spigen Slim Armor series case. Phone fits in it like a glove and adds very little bulk. I've dropped it a few times and it's survived with no issues. The case is a double layered rubberized with a plastic cover for looks, and it looks very sleek. It's worth checking out for sure. They're also on sale on Amazon for $14.99 at the moment, add a screen protector (also on sale for 6.99 and comes with 2) and some other random item and you can get the free shipping on orders over $25. Leaving you a link for the case and protector.
NOTE: When I added the protector to my cart and went to check out I noticed it added a iPhone 5 protector even though I was on the GS4 page, I had to remove and add a few times before it correctly showed the GS4 protector. Just a FYI.
EDIT: Well I can't post links because I'm under 10 posts. Sorry, they're just a quick Google search away though!
Get a case. I love having my phone naked, especially with my S4 because of how slim and lightweight it is - but therein lies the problem. I use an Otterbox Commuter case at work. Previously - while the Otterbox cases are good quality - I have refused to use them due to the bulk they add. However the S4's Commuter Otterbox case is fairly slim for a rugged protection case, so I decided to give it a go. It's really not bulky. The Defender on the other hand it way too much bulk for my taste.
I work in a transportation hub - around extra hard concrete floors, moving belts and machinery, metal grating docks, etc. - basically a rough environment. The first day I got the phone I went without a case, but with how slim and lightweight it is all I kept thinking was "I'm gonna drop it, it's gonna break, I'm gonna drop it, it's gonna break". So after work, I went and grabbed the Otterbox from my local Verizon store. I use it at work, and when I get home to my nice, soft, carpeted environment - I immediately take the case off.
A little over 2 weeks after I got it, I woke up and rolled over to check the time on my phone. It slipped out of my hands, fell about a foot and a half, and as it fell it hit against the metal rail on my bed (the frame that your mattress sits on) and landed on my carpeted floor. Grabbed it thinking it would be perfectly fine - it was a very short fall, it landed on carpet, and just grazed the rail. Took a look at it and the frame around the front of the phone, the faux metal one, had a huge gouge in it. I was very disappointed by this, but figured it was a freak accident. About a week ago, I got the Samsung Wireless charging pad for my phone. Set it up next to my bed, and as I was testing it out, I lifted one end of the charging pad while the phone was still on it, creating a slope. The Samsung Wireless Charging Pad doesn't have much of a grip to it, so it slipped off and made that same 1 1/2 foot fall from my bed to my floor, again grazing the metal rail on the way down. Again, I have another gouge in it. While this is a metal rail, it does not have any "sharp" edges to it. The edge itself is rounded, so it's gentler on objects that it comes in contact with, and it is covered by a bedskirt, again, helping to soften the blow should anything hit it.
Having learning my lesson (kind of) with the same freak accident happening with my phone hitting my bed in just to right way during a foot and a half drop (I have never dropped any of my previous phones...from my bed), I am looking into lightweight Carbon Fiber Skins to hopefully add a small layer of protection and sadly, I am resorting to also wrapping the bed frame in foam because I am stubborn and still refuse to use a case when I am not at work.
The point of this long drawn out story is that in my experience - as beautiful as this phone is, and as much of a shame as it is - I highly recommend a case of some sort. Unless you want to be like me and start padding the environment around you. The phone does not seem to handle falls well, even over short distances.

As an additional note, you don't need to go all out with a massively bulky case. I recommend something with dual layers though, the internal rubberized layer that helps absorb the shock from a fall and the outer plastic shell that protects against the dents/damage/etc.. While I have the Otterbox, I plan on making the jump to the Spigen Slim Armor Case, it looks much more beautiful than my Otterbox and slimmer too. I currently use their Glas.tR Screen Protector, having found that the glass gives it the naked feel that I love while still provided amazing protection for the screen. Their products really are top notch, high quality, slim, and don't take away from the aesthetic of the phone.

I really like the case so far. It adds a bit of bulk though on an already big phone so it can be a bit cumbersome at times to reach stuff on the screen with one hand (I have pretty small hands lol) but I think it looks great and I am very satisfied with my purchase.
I had mine naked for a week and was scared, it slid out of my pocket at the gym a couple times but onto a rubber floor, so no damage...got tired of being careful and threw on an otterbox commuter..loving it, feels more sturdy and i dont have to worry about it.
had a commuter on my s3 and that thing hit the pavement a good 3-5 times from about 5-6 feet up, no damage at all
Don't Hesitate
After about a week and a half of fretting about dropping it, scratching it, or otherwise, I was very relieved when I finally broke down and got a case. I'm using a semi-thick plastic/silicon case from CruzerLite.com. It's well worth it, looks cool (I actually get a lot of questions and compliments on it's design), and it's quite functional. It also doesn't add a lot of bulk! CruzerLite.com, check it out!
I have not used a case yet don't like the extra thickness. I've dropped it pretty good a few times but only dented the metal. Guess I been lucky

I too had a Charge before my Galaxy 4. I had a silicon case and I still dropped it all the time. It once hit the pavement with such force that it opened and the battery fell out....it still worked. I cannot imagine this kind of resilience on the s4.
However, I found what I think is a great case - it is made by Speck - a very thin harder plastic with a rim to protect the screen AND some kind of rubber ribs all over the back and the sides so you have plenty of grip. I've not dropped the phone yet and I know this case is a good part of the reason. I have the crummy plastic screen cover from Verizon and will be putting a better one on in the next day or two. I got the Speck case at Best Buy but have also seen it at Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Product...8-3&keywords=speck+case+for+samsung+galaxy+s4

Then I was still left without a clip for the occasional times when I don't have a purse or pockets. I found a Nitze black foldover case with a clip in the back. It is made with elastic in the middle so you can carry your phone and credit cards. I cut out the elastic and am now able to fit the S4 WITH the Speck case still on it. (Sorry but I can't find a link for that case now).
Hope this helps. As you can tell, I really love the Speck and it comes in several colors.
I have been a fan of otterbox cases for a long time, and used them exclusively until this case. The construction is generally what you would expect from Otterbox, but there are two issues with the case:
1) The case itself is very recessed from the edge of the phone. The phone itself sticks up above the case by a couple of millimeters, and the fit is not very snug/secure. This also means that the edges of the phone are very exposed, and I could see a side drop off of a desk or table as potentially disastrous.
2) This is my biggest complaint and a clear lack of QA. The cutout for the S-Pen covers the pen itself. Because of this, it is a chore to remove the pen from the case. The edges of the cutout are very high and not tapered at all, which means you can't just idly reach for the pen and let the case guide you in. This coupled with the fact that the case covers the port on the pen means that you have to put in some effort to even get the pen out of the case. To be clear, the pen will still come out, but you have to pull it past/around the soft rubber of the case. I confirmed this was a design issue by testing 3 other symmetry cases, all of which had the same flaw.
At least the case works with wireless chargers and Samsung pay, so that is a bonus. Will I use Otterbox products in the future? potentially, but not this one.

I can confirm 100% that this is an issue, 3 days after I got my Note 8, which due to tmo sending early, was 5 days before official launch, My note 8 suffered catastrophic damage WITH this case on.
I put the case on it at the store, before it even left the table.
I have not needed a screen protector or ever needed to utilize my handset insurance as long as I've owned cell phones(nearly 15 years).
Moved into a new place with stone counters just a week before.... fumble phone, instead of letting it fall to the ground and hit the area rug, which would probably have done no damage at all. I tried to catch the phone and instead bopped it, it rolled over face down and slide across the edge of the stone counter across the exposed portion of the screen...
It took me a week and a half of fighting with insurance company to cover it because as far as they were concerned i was lying about the phone i owned because it hadn't been officially launched yet.......
I have this case as well... it's causing my screen protector to lift up, so far on #3. It's protected my phone several times from falls although. The buttons seem to stick on occasion as well. Also, the rubber after pulling it on & off several times is becoming loose. Overall ****ty case
I have used Otterbox cases for years. Until meow, my only beef is the built-in screen protectors. It appears that the newer models have omitted, because of their lack of effort/curved screens.
The OB Defender looks decent, but lacks screen protector and still has a holster, which I need/want.
However this is the first time in years that I have gone with something different.
I am using the Supcase Unicorn Beetle case. IMO< just as good, if not better. The stock screen protector fits nice and seems to be made of decent material. Does not have the annoying gap/super plastic feel like the OB has.
It also costs half as much.
A quick look at the UAG case for the fold
Considering its price tag... Do Not Buy
https://youtu.be/Hh3FxwK9Xk4
thanks for showing this, i had no idea this even existed. i thought the spigen ones were the only ones available.
this is clearly the worst possible case for the fold.
i completely agree with everything said in the video.
it scratched my fold. do not buy. stick to spigen
Saw this too late I'm afraid. Bought it via Amazon, it came from HK, needed to wait for customs to process (and charge an extra EUR17 or so) to then find out that the magnetic closure of the phone no longer works. Binned it. Shame.
After watching your video I actually bought the sockshock and using the fiber case
Worst case out there. I got one and not only does the spine keep it from laying flat but it won't stay closed. What a POS. Getting returned. I usually like UAG cases but this one needs a total redesign.
Why do you think the latter one is the better one in terms of the crash
I completely disagree with these opinions.
I bought this case due to an overwhelming fear of any damages or dust to a phone clearly more fragile than a normal one.
I'm right handed, and the hinge cover that protrudes out the back when the fold is opened becomes a great handle to dig my fingers into when holding it with my left hand so my right hand can do all the typing. It can also now be laid on a flat surface and asked upwards to watch a video hands-free.
The bumper protection is solid, the camera bump is well safe and it hasn't blown the size out so that the fold now feels clunky due to too much case.
The price is 30 dollars more than the spigen case, and for a lot of people I understand is prohibitive. But considering what we had to drop on the phone in the first place I wanted maximum protection. And I get it with this case.
However with both this and the spigen case I'm still taking it out once a day and checking for any dust that might get caught inside it and may work it's way into the hinge.
With or without a case there's the chance of foreign objects getting in, and that's no fault of the case design. We accepted this risk by buying a phone of this design and is up to us to be wary of all the issues.
Either way my vote is yes for this case. After a week it's quite solid, allows me to hold the fold a lot safer and I am confident in its protection.
I knew of the spine issue. If that was the only issue I would have kept it. The deal breaker for me was it would not stay closed. I agree it provides better protection that the Spigen thin armor. For the price, they could have done so much better. I have a UAG on all my other phones that one is available for. This is the only one I could not tolerate.
If it works for some, great! Just does not work for me.
I'm very careful with my phones. Over 10 years I can say I've maybe dropped a phone 10 times. Until this week. My Z Flip has been dropped 3 times. I believe it's the case Samsung ships with it. It's just too slippery. Luckily, I dropped mine on carpet. I think you'll be in trouble if you drop in on concrete or asphalt. I'd seriously consider a different case. Trying the Case Mate.
Thanks for this PSA, made me re-check my box to find the secret case hidden in the lid.
I haven't tried the included one yet but did buy the leather Samsung one. It's a nice case (great feel) but doesn't seem to stay on very well. It half clips and half sticks to each half and constantly feels loose.
I went with the below. They are out of stock for now. This one provides better grip than the included case. It does not block the fingerprint reader like the Casemate does..

I applied the original case yesterday (just got my flip) and immediatly ordered a grippy leathery one. This case does not protect the Flip at all. It most likely causes more damage than it protects from.
I was looking at those cases with rings. I generally do not like adding or having a case that has charms, popsockets, flygrips, or rings etc. but for this phone, those ring cases may actually serve a purpose in that you can loop one of your fingers to tether it to prevent accidental drops which I've done with each phone I've ever owned.
It's seems small enough to really not add much bulk. I may try one out but ugh... I hate spending for cases. lol
Been a lover for their fiber cases since N10 days.
Works well with wireless charging and also NFC. Bare and slim look.
It's real light and works well with most of the screen protector I have tried including whitestone.
Got my s23 ultra case from them this time too and currently just waiting for my exclusive s23 ultra colour to arrive.
A picture below for comparison of the new case with my n20 case.

Amazing case, looks very classy.
Only using if for formal occasions as it offers minimal scratch protection and is as slippy as a bar of soap
I got the same case. Really love super-low profile Arabid cases and this one certainly fits the bill.
Only downside i experience if removing it is extremely difficult. It's so tightly fitting it's tricky to get it off
But that's a very occasional problem and nothing everyday
Yeah I have the Pitaka case for my S23U, I have always used the Thin fit Aramid fiber cases for all of the phones I have had, this is the first time for the Pitaka case and love it, I have the Overture case that has the green/red strip down the back.

I am assuming they left some space for camera holes in case you put lens protectors inside?
Which screen protectors are you using with this case?
Holes in the case.
Using AM Film
I ordered one last night, the Rhapsody version. I usually run full protection cases (have the Mouse Aramid right now) but can't even remember the last time I dropped a phone.
With my S20 FE, using a full protection case since day 1, the bottom frame of the phone got very scratched up because debris got inside, between the case and phone. I'm hoping that with how tight the Pitaka fits that I won't have this issue.
But now the sides of the S23U will be exposed, so I also wonder how well the phone will resist side scratching lol.

I found the best way is the bottom.... try to "roll" your thumb around the lip part of the case one side at a time...
