Thin snap-on case?

What is the thinnest snap-on case? I saw a few "hard cover" cases on ebay but I am skeptical if they are junk. I don't wanna spend $30 on a case, but just want something thin that will protect it from scratches and some bumps.
The sticker protectors are ok, but they don't look the best.

I find that the bodyguardz sticker protectors work wornders. Personally I've used it since 2 months after I purchased my fuze and i don't get any scratches at all and they actually get inconspicuous. No one can tell that I have the stickers on it and it feels really good.

I got a great deal on amazon on a clear plastic case, a solid black case and 2 more screen protectors. Came out to around 8 bucks (including shipping). Check out around there and maybe you can find something nice.

got me a pdair aluminium case for the raphael/touch pro, works great!
I'm a truck mechanic, so I can't use anything else!

damn. that aluminum case sounded so cool! Then it turned out to be hinged.

The aluminum case sucks!!! every time you drop the phone it comes flying out of the case. you have to keep bending back the latch for it to stay closed. the screw in clip in the back striped out in a week.
I'm in concrete, so I wouldn't use this if it was FREE!!!

Do you use a case on your Nexus 6P?

As the title says. It absolutely ruins the beauty of this device for me.

I use a verus high pro shield (I think) most of the time. But when I am at home I use the phone without a casw

I use a Nillkin nature tpu case, which is clear and ultra thin. It won't do much against drops I presume but it does prevent the aluminium back getting scratched, which is what I use it for. I like it and don't think it ruins the beauty seeing as it's see through and adds virtually no bulk.

I use rinke fusion just cause I can add a lanyard to it. been like this since HTC one M8

Orzly TGSP and a dbrand skin on back. Purchased the official Google case but got tired of it because it added bulk.

Nope. I'm always very careful with my phones and purchased Nexus Protect in case of emergencies.

I use spigen rugged armor. Its slim and looks great.

I'm using a Supremery cover on long drives so I can stick my phone on the magnetic mount in my car.
Usually I hate covers because they destroy the beauty of a 700€ phone but yesterday I noticed that probably shouldn't have kept the phone in the same pocket as my comb as I now got scratches allover the upper edge. Small but visible.
I'll try to live with that...

Always wrap your thing!

Yes.
Currently on Moko Halo series Hybrid cover and rotate it with Poetic Affinity (courtesy of Poetic) and Adopted TPU from Google play store. I can't stand having a single scratch or scuff mark on my phone or screen.

Supcase Slim Hybrid for me when out, naked at home. What an amazing case, so much protection, so little bulk and a truly unique design.

This is my first smartphone without a case, but I did invest in a glass screen protector. Going strong with no problems for three months now.

Spigen Ultra Hybrid clear case.... I actually dropped my phone the day before it arrived, so it's staying put!
(Luckily no damage from the drop, but my heart skipped a beat when it fell)

I have the supcase unicorn beetle. I like it pretty well. I have ordered a Evolutive labs Crash guard bumper with rhino shield. They have some pretty impressive test videos to check out if you haven't heard of them. Just an outer edge bumper so it still shows off most of the beauty of the n6p.

That might be an advice for at least one more thing in life. ?

Yes, I agree with you it can ruin the design of this phone but I bought a transparent ultra thin hard case and a 9H glass screen protector both for € 3,00 so I won't mind throwing the case away one day although there are already scratches on the case so I'm happy with it for now.

I used the Spigen Neo Hybrid EX the first couple of weeks, but I took it off once my dbrand skin got here. Pretty happy so far

Got the adopted case. Immediatly lost all love for the Nexus. Only using the case when alcohol is involved now.

I also use the Nillkin Nature with the Nillkin tempered glass. Is the thinnest case out there IMO.

Using Adopted Frost for now just to have some protection and still see the Aluminum through it...

Anybody using the phone without a case ?

Hello Everybody
I have installed a transparent but not so slim case to my LG G6.
I wanted to know whether this phone be maintained in mint condition without case easily ?
Please let me know your thoughts.

Hi, I Didn't thought about not using a case, currently using voia slim case that came with the unit free that i bought with some local store here in the Philippines. I am not sure if i would use it without a case, it seems fragile to me

The class back necessitates done protection, using Spigen ultra hybrid slim case.

I use it without any protection ... The problem is the rear glass camera .. it's very very very easy to scratch poor quality

I don't use cases, I hate them. I frankly hate that today phones are presented without cases, companies present how they look nice without case etc. But they are made in a way that you have to use some ugly case anyway (camera bump, slippery back etc.) .
So I am using G6 without case (one of the few phones without camera bump and it is easy to hold) and so far it is ok, but I am afraid about the rear camera glasses of course...

I wasn't using a case, then as I took the phone out of my pocket it slipped and smashed on the floor. Got it repaired and now using a Spigen Thin Fit case on it (this one in fact https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spigen-Coated-Surface-Excellent-Compatible/dp/B01N6T3N9T )
I don't find it gets in the way at all, or adds too much weight to the phone, but as long as manufacturers keep insisting that "premium build" equals "making it out of fragile materials like glass" I'll will be using a case on all phones from now on.
Previously had a G4 and loved that the back was just a removable piece of plastic that would stand up to pretty much everything. I don't understand why phones have moved away from this kind of build over the last few years, and gone to slippy, delicate glass!

i hate cases .. they kill the design
i prefer Skins from Dbrand

I am using the UAG Ash case, still case see the case and gives it protection.

Oooh, some of those are very nice!

I do love the design of the phone, but it's way too slippery for me not to use a case. I went for a Snakehive leather flip case and tempered glass on the screen.

Dbrand skin on the back, and insurance I love the feel of the naked phone.

Thanks to everyone for your participation and thoughts.
I am also considering skins instead of cases, but the problem with the skin is it is getting dirt especially in the edges after some time and they are turning yellowish as well.
The cases are cheap at least what I am using, but skins neither cheap not easy to apply again and again.
The skin I tried previously was Invisible Shield.
My phone colour is blue, so. the case/skin options are again getting limited, only transparent cases/skins are looking good.
Let me know your thoughts.

I use it without a case and got a skin for the back and camera lens. Keeps it from getting scratched to hell. I have dinged up against something while it was in my pocket and chipped the top but other than that nothing major at all. It was my fault those pesky basketball shorts let the pockets swing to much

I don't use case and i can tell lens protection is really really bad.

Ringke air crystal view ! (Y)

I am currently caseless. Sometimes I put a case on my phone but after a while, when I take it out to clean out the dust, I remember how nice it was with no case and leave it out for a few months. I have a thin TPU one which is nice, and a real wood one which looks amazingly good even though it is kind of a brick.
I am not a big fan of skins (had a clear one on an old phone and after a while it yellowed and peeled), but I do like the idea of the real wood ones (not the dbrand ones which are vinyl even if they look like wood). Might try one of those when my wood case breaks (which I'm sure it will).
As for the camera glass scratches - look through the forums here; consensus is that the glass is not scratching but it has a soft coating that scratches. This coating can be polished off and then no more scratches. And it doesn't seem that a case is any protection from whatever (temperature? air pressure?) is causing a few mysterious camera glass shatterings.

i don't use a case on this phone yet. going for a skin whenever i get around to it with my list of things to buy. first time i went longer then a few days without a case. i went without a case since march. I use a holster on my pants or shorts. I am so careful with my phone so it doesn't get scratched or dinged up.

I was gonna go with a skin like Dbrand but I got this really thin case instead. Been extremely happy with it

Best BackCover

Which is the best back cover for our one plus 5 ? Anybody from India , Please suggest.

Spigen Rugged Armor
Been covering my phone with it for almost 3 months. Good grip, no scratches, no drops etc... Fits well with fabric front foil or anti fingerprint screen protector.

I wouldn't get the ringke the bumper just gets super messed up on those. I'd say the best thing I like about orzly is that it just feels so much secure. You can check my review on Amazon.in I have some pics uploaded there too.

I can only say don't get the Kevlar one from the official site. You can't use the alert slider in that. And it just looks bulky. Got one and using it.

I think because of the rubber sides it would feel more grippy compared to Ringke's sort of slippery material (I bought one for op3 last year). I had read all the reviews on Amazon and surely leaned towards Orzly only. What color do you have though?

I got the black one. The grip is hands down the best I've used. I've had many phones over the years and this is the most slippery one. But this case just makes me feel so much comfortable holding the phone.

I can vouch for this, since I use the same case.

I use the spiegen case

Spigen Neo Hybrid for ruggedness and Nillkin basic is a decent average in all areas.

The OnePlus 5 Bumper Case Karbon direct from oneplus is the best!
Expensive but best protection. I tested it last night Fall from 1,5 m on the really rainy road without any damage (phone or case)

Whitestone dome compatible cases

Looking to order a compatible case with Whitestone dome glass. Looking for something that doesn’t sit right on top of the glass, just in case it pushes it up when in and out of the pocket and bag

Spigen. Using it with Whitestone. No issues.

The rugged armor supposedly doesn't fit, which is a shame as i was using that one on each and every one of my smartphones. The tough armor fits perfectly though, and i am quite happy with it. The kickstand might be useful but doesn't seem to be that robust. Time will tell.
Another favorite of mine was the ringke onyx case. That one does not fit.

I've used the Spigen Neo Hybrid in the past and currently the UAG Monarch with the Whitestone and have had zero issues.

I meant in combination with the whitestone dome glass. The upper lipp was just sitting too tight. I didn't want to risk the glass to peel up, so i deemed it as unfit.

You should have a look at this list, made for S9/S9+: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11upU3Lh5bIZl3rPAoN23gCxBDU6MwkNZyEzY01HLUeE
Unfortunately, even if one case from company works, it doesn't mean that the rest are compatible. There are even cases of the same lineup (Spigen Ultra Hybrid) which are compatible and others aren't. In my opinion, if you want an ultra-thin case, then the Torras is the best bet. The Spigen Neo Hybrid is great (got one) for slim ---but adequate- protection. If you want the best protection possible, you should be looking at the UAG Monarch (expensive) or Otterbox Symmetry & Strada
Personally, I gave up on the Whitestone and now got myself an Otterbox Strada. Partly due to VR compatibility (I do AI research and now working on a VR project) and partly due to installation problems; once with the phone sitting tool was weirdly tight (compare to the 2nd kit I got) for the phone and the other it was my fault. Also, I got tired to looking for cases that are compatible. VR

I used that list posted above and this has been my experience so far.
I can confirm that UAG Plasma will push on the Whitestone.
The Spigen Neo Hybrid does work with Whitestone, but there's very little separation between case and Whitestone. The case does extend past the added thickness of the glass, so it will protect the Whitestone if placed face down.
Samsung Alcantara case doesn't seem to push the Whitestone despite seemingly touching. Perhaps the alcantara fibers makes it look worse than it actually is, but I didn't want to take the risk.
I'm currently using a Tech21 Evo Tactical and it gives the largest space to the Whitestone than any of the previous covers above. It's also a very thin case, yet has great drop protection. Lastly, this case provides more face down protection than the Neo Hybrid.

I went with the tech21 evo tactical due to @coiledwire post above

No, I haven't tried it yet. I'm usually a minimal case user, so UAG Plasma is just about as big as I'd want to go.

Agreed. My Whitestone install is 99.9% perfect and I don't want a case to mess with it. I'm loving this tech21 case. Its pricy for what it is, but it works really well with the Whitestone, looks nice, and feels solid.

UAG monarch fits really well, plenty of space like the tech21 tactical

Has anyone tried the Griffin Survivor Strong Clear?

I can confirm the Whitestone Dome is compatible with the Griffin Survivor Strong Clear case.

Does anyone know if the mous cases are compatible?
