That's not a hybrid case. Hybrid cases use more than 1 type of material like a polycarbonate back and TPU bumper. The Tech 21 is the thinnest hybrid case I gave so far besidssbrhe Ringke; although the Tech 21 case is taller.

I think the Ringke is the best slim case out there. I currently have it on my s7 edge.

As I mentioned that's not a hybrid case. If the OP wants non-hyrbid cases that would be an excellent choice or the Spigen Thin Fit.

I ordered one, you don't feel the lip as rough? How about feeling the parts where its purposefully cut? I want grip, but will not sacrifice a premium thickness or feel for it. I was thinking this or the Incipio Feather.

You can check my reviews for cases, I don't have the Incipio feather, but i have 2 of their other cases. I'll have more to review shortly, and I might get some more slim ones as well. The Spigen Thin Fit isn't rough from what it recall

My wife tried one on her s7e. This case has a polycarbonate back, which is hard and slippery. Perhaps the back protects better against drops,but it also is going to cause them, too.
She's going to try a TPU back with PC bumper next.

Looking for a certain case

Hello I was just looking for a black case that is not too slippery and that is fairly protective with a lip if it is not a a diary or wallet case.

The Duzign case you can purchase from amazon or eBay. One of the least expensive cases I own, but I use it all the time. The case is identical to the Cruzerlite Spi-Force for half the price and the TPU liner is awesome.

Good luck with your search; I'm sure you'll find something suitable.
Body glove. Very slim but good protection.

When I saw the thread I thought the case was a bit of a gimmick, but once I got myself one from Amazon Warehouse and tried it myself I was surprised how good it is; thin but offers a decent amount of protection, also the grip is much better than say the Diz which I also have

Searching for the thinnest case for Verizon G2.

Ok so I absolutely cannot stand the glossy back on this phone. I mean, it looks nice... if you never touch it. But man the smudges... its just terrible. That being said I am looking for a case, but only to get rid of that. I usually don't get cases because they add bulk, that is why I am in search of a super thin one. So, case suggestions for Verizon G2, hit me!

Incipio feather- got it for the exact same reason, adds hardly no bulk and a nice soft touch finish. I love mine.

Looks awesome, I will have to try it out
The Incipio Feather Shine is also great. I have been using it for almost a week now and have had multiple people tell me that they didn't even know a case was on the phone!
I like the diztronic case. It's probably not as thin as the feather, but it's really close plus it covers the top and the bottom. Fits really nice.

This one looks pretty thin, I just purchased the black will report back once I get it.

Just ordered the white.
Can always sand the back cover (there's a thread somewhere) or get a skin if you don't want a case.
I have both the incipio feather and diztronic and the incipio is the better of the 2 imo but the diztronic will offer alittle more protection.

I just got the Incipio Feather Shine and it's too slippery for me. I had a Feather before and I liked the tackiness. I can't stand the Feather Shine. What's the best case that's tacky like the Feather and is slim and just barely covers the phone.
I just got my matte black Diztronic. I can't imagine anything being thinner than it. It's pretty grippy, too.

Poetic sand or poetic softouch. Makes the incision feather look like an otterbox. The sand is the perfect grip adder

Is there one that fits the international version (or Sprint/T-mobile version). Only see ones for AT&T on amazon?

I had a matte black TPU case for my HTC Inspire back in the day that I really liked, it was only like $5 too! I could never remember what brand it was though. I know it wasn't Diztronic (they have their logo on all their stuff right?), but when I searched for TPU cases for my GNex they looked closest to it.
Anyways yeah the TPU case I had was pretty thin, I think I am gonna try the Feather though and see how that goes. :fingers-crossed:

I have one, too. It covers the back and sides quite well, and easily slides in/out of my front pocket.

The Diztronic cases are TPU cases and like all TPU cases, adds a decent lip around the edges of the screen = nasty.
The Incipio Feather is the best slim case around. I have a feather case on my wife's iPhone, my old Gnex, and new G2. It is made up of top notch material that won't flake off the coating and is very durable.
I honestly can't recommend any other slim cases. And don't go for the Feather Shine or whatever... just the plain jane Feather. I got the Blue one from Verizon. They are like $18 on Amazon. Walmart also carries them. Pretty popular cases.

Also have the Matte Black for the VS980. I usually hate cases but this one is pretty thin and has a slight lip on the front to help keep the screen from resting on anything. I love the grip and the way the case feels and like most says it easily slides in/out of pockets.

They look exactly the same as the Feather (but cheaper).
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Palette-case-Sand-Black/dp/B00ED2DVZ2
Poetic also uses cheaper chinese plastics compared to Incipio, so you get what you pay for.
Also that case is not specific to the Verizon model. It appears to a be overall generic LG G2 case because of the additional unused microphone hole found only on the AT&T. Also the cutouts won't match the Verizon's smaller buttons.

LF Soft/Rubbery Case

I'm looking for recommendations on soft/rubbery cases with a minimal build. I found a few online but no reviews yet and I really need a case with a good grip. Hard, poly carbonate cases were too slick for me and didn't feel good in the hand. I had a good rubber case for my G2 a couple years back but I can't remember the brand. Thanks in advance.
*edit: Wouldn't mind a gel case either if on par with a rubbery case's grip.

beautiful case. Do you know of a similar one that fits the leather back?
Spigen has some nice TPU cases, if that's what you're asking for. They SAY that it doesn't fit leather backs, but some on the forums here have tried those cases and it seems to be fine.

Best Cases For The Silver S7E?

Hi all. Just wondering what cases are looking the best for the Silver Titanium version.
I am getting a clear case tomorrow but wondering if above have found sine God ones to compliment the silver color.
Thanks!

Ringke Fusion clear is a great case. Perfect fit, buttons are excellent, looks great, really shows of the phone.

I have the Ringke Air but it's going back to amazon. The fit is perfect, it's really light, has a grippy but medium-quality rubber grip, but the left & right sides of the case are too soft & loose. They sometimes lift & peel off when you pick up the phone by its sides. If they made the rubber around the sides a bit rigid, it'd been perfect.

That spigen case has been unavailable from Amazon for over a week now. I managed to buy one from Amazon the same day Best Buy released S7 Edge on Monday March 7 . However you can go directly to Spigen website and order.

They're a lot cheaper if you use Spigen's Ebay store. About as cheap as they were on Amazon.

Ahhhhh, ok, ok. I have the *slightest* bit of looseness on my bumper, on the right side towards the bottom. It just creaks a bit, but yeah, it's kind of annoying.

I believe the pictures I posted speak for themselves. I had the issue enough on both my crystal and normal hybrid to easily see it without looking for it.
Ringke Slim for sure!
FazeRN I like your way of thinking. There are lots of good choices on the site. I will add a couple. These companies are specialized in power cases with the difference of possibility of upgrading the case even further. You can get upgrades like laser pointers, better camera lenses, environmental sensors, specially designed VR packs etc. Nexpaq and I-blades are the brands that will set the bar for smart cases in the future. Take a look

What screen protector do you have on your S7 Edge?

Case like Spigen Slim Armor but with protruding buttons?

What case would be recommended that is similar protection as the Spigen Slim Armor but has protruding buttons and maybe better grip/texture?
I had a Spigen Slim Armor case for my S5 and really liked it. However, I looked at the S7 Slim Armor and didn't like a couple of things about it:
1. The side buttons are flush with the case making them hard to locate by feel without looking
2. The back is very smooth which feels slippery in the hand
Thanks!

If you like Spigen cases, I suggest looking into the Neo or Neo Hybrid.

These were also my only complaints with this case(buttons and grip). Otherwise perfect for my use.
Have you found anything similar yet?
I tried the slim armor on my S7E and ended up going with the Unicorn Beetle. Love the frosted back.
Yeah, I liked the Beetle case. I gave it a try. I am a fairly regular kickstand user which is why I liked the slim armor. Just couldn't get used to those flat buttons and slick back.

I ordered the tough armour as the dimensions are almost the same as the slim armour but the buttons protrude. Still waiting for it to arrive.
