I recently got a Samsung Galaxy A3 2017 (A-320FL). It's pretty slippery and I would like to by a cover to increase the grip. Since I hate cases in general because I want to thinest smallest phone possible I am looking for the thinnest case possible.
I was looking for a clip on case as well, but I couln't find one. So I got a Krussell Luna Pouch 3XL.

This one is really thin and keeps the phone small and feel good in the hand, which is what the A3 is made for o guess, plus itgives good grip, material feels good in the hand and looks really good.
Downside is that the material is brittle and might break under certain circumstances. But would still recommend it since everything else is perfect.
i got this one: Nillkin Nature TPU Case voor de Samsung Galaxy A3 (2017) - Clear
https://www.bol.com/nl/p/nillkin-nature-tpu-case-voor-samsung-galaxy-a3-clear/9200000075725065/?suggestionType=typedsearch
This is a Dutch webshop, but you can get this case on other webshops as well. It covers the phone very nice, slim fit, and the sides have extra grip, so you wont let it slip out of your hands.
I'm using this for my A3, it's not thin but it's very good

This looks very cool and thin too https://www.easyacc.com/en/881-easy...-matte-finish-for-samsung-galaxy-a3-2017.html . Any experience?
I have finally bought this one https://www.puro.it/en/case-03-galaxya32017-eng.html and it is the thinnest I have ever had. The feeling from holding the phone is like I don§t have any case. I strongly recommended.
Does it lock/unlock the phone when you close/open it?

I'm still working on obtaining the phone, so I've been scoping out accessories! I believe this went live today or yesterday, as I've been looking at the Incipio cases for a few days now.
Has anyone had experience with the particular case or maybe the same type on another phone? It looks pretty nice, I tend to prefer the soft shell cases over hard ones.
I found a video of the case on the SGSII, give you a good feel for what it's like! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3QB1I6kmNo Also, here is a video of it on the Nexus, but I don't think it's as good of a demonstration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Z-zYPBC39E
Would be very interested for pictures of this case with extended battery.
Thanks in advance if someone has them!

Have the case, i do enjoy it just i prefer having my nexus naked for feeling the form factor.
my only issue with it was putting the phone into my pocket, being as i wear George Slacks it seemed to grip onto the pocket while putting it in.
+1 for soft and not a glossy hard feel!
Plus where the hard parts are on the case feels like it will protect it nicely (corner bumpers and back.
My thing is the lip around the screen. Access to the edge is important, especially for the Browser Quick bar and games.
I like this on here, looks very nice, very thin
The NGP case is outstanding. I've had this case on the Evo3D as well as on the Samsung SII and it offers all around protection, a very snug fit (even on the GSM Nexus, the fit is very reasonably tight, and me saying that probably means others will think it's supertight).
Further, it offers perfectly aligned cutouts, matte finish that does not pick up fingerprints or dust and imo the best possible material for cases. Just flexible enough to wrap it around, but rigid when it's on. Plus, it's still not as thick as hybrid cases.
Take this for what's it's worth, I've found my case.
The feather case really does nothing, except for protecting the back of the phone when putting it down. It has a wide empty space at the bottom where when your device falls on it, the phone will just be smashed.
Hey guys, I didn't see any Adreama case reviews for our galaxy nexus around, so I thought I’d start this thread and do a little review for you guys. Since Adreama is a Canadian based company, im not sure as to the availability of its cases outside of Canada, but I do know that their cases are available at Futureshop within Canadian Borders.
Look:
The case that I got was the Adreama Snugfit case, and to stress on this, IT IS THIN. I put it on my gn, and it felt no bulkier than running my nexus naked. There aren't any choices that I know of, so all that you’ll get is a very SLEEK and LOW PROFILE case. Measurements of the case came in at 1mm thick, which tops the chart of thinness for all the cases that I have tried out.
Fit/Feel:
The galaxy nexus measures in at 8.8mm thick, though not the thinnest in the market today (Cough RAZR Cough), it is still considered to be on the sleek side. To me personally, the slippery back added with the thinness is just too much. Considering the fact that I dropped my phone the first day I got it, my choice of cases are 100% circled around those with a good grip. Now, onto the Adreama. It fits the phone perfectly, and requires a little push to snap it into place, which I deem to be just perfect, as it suits the “Snugfit” name. Loose cases rarely provide the proper feel, but that is not the case for the Adreama. With its snap-on design and also its rubbery matte back, it is a perfect match for any that are looking for a thin case with a good grip.
Little Comparison/Surprises
I compared this case with my Diztronic Rev 3 Matte Black case for the galaxy nexus and noticed a great difference. First of all, the feel of the case is much more premium compared with the polycarbonate of the DR3. Though a hard case, the insides of it are very polished so there should be no worries of it ever scratching the phone. Thickness is also a winner for the Adreama, as it really is raze thin. The DR3 placed beside it feels much bigger. There are many places where the DR3 wins, especially in the protection area. As I’ve said, the Adreama is simply a snap on case, thus don't expect any lip protection on the front. Also, the Adreama does not go 100% around the phone, covering only 80% of the sides and the back.
One little surprise I found with this case was that it had two holes on the bottom for any girls (or guys) that enjoy hanging little decorations from their device. It is a minor detail, but nonetheless very welcome.
WARNING!!
I just had to say this once more. This case provides MINOR PROTECTION, ADDS GRIP, and RESERVES THINESS. Really, it does the good stuff, but DON'T EXPECT ANY OTTERBOX PROTECTION FROM THIS CASE!!!.
That said, it is a well rounded case for the 14 that I paid for it.
First Review, MORE COMING~
I wanted a as slim as possible case and I wanted it to protect all the way around the perimeter of the phone. Here are the choices (in order from first to last), help me decide.
Rearth Ringke Slim - At $28 it's a bit expensive and it doesn't cover the sides. Also looks to be less grippy since it's hard smooth plastic.
BoxWave Blackout - I'm worried it's thicker than a case like the Rearth, but with that said it protects all around and is really cheap at $12. I think the material is more rubber like which sounds more appealing to a gloss hard case. Not many reviews anywhere for this case.
elago G4elago G4 - I'm not sure about this case in general.
Thanks for your input.
Personally I like the Leather style flip cases, The one that doubles up as a wallet.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-WAL..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3374db7913
I would never pay more than £10 (delivered) for a case.
in terms of slimness i've basically narrowed it down to two giants.
1. sgp ultra thin
2. casemate barely there.
not sure which ones better but from what i can tell they're pretty much the same, both at a hefty 25 bucks.
anyways, i'm in the same boat as you. XD
not sure which case to get.

I have the rearth and it is very slim, the only down side it is a beeeoootch to take off (i have a dock/charger for the phone) and if you take it on and off a lot it cracks and the part closet to the usb port cover, nothing earth shattering it actually makes it much easier to take the case off - that and the sgp ultra clear and it is almost like having nothing on the phone at all.
I have used diztronic cases for the last year (for my SII and now my N7000). They are very similar to the boxweave case you posted.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...0386413&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+note
As you know TPU protects like a silicon case but doesn't stick in your pocket or collect lint and dust due to it not being "sticky" feeling. I recently sold my SII for over $300 after 8 months of daily use because my SII was in perfect condition as a result of being in a diztronic tpu case. No, I never dropped the phone on cement or anything but I dropped my SII on the carpet from 5+ feet and the phone was unchanged when I picked it up. Didn't pop out of case or battery, etc. Because the tpu cases have a 1/8 or so "lip" on the front they also allow the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. IMHO and experience, a good tpu case is all you need to fully protect your phone unless you work in construction or somehow expect to drop it on cement.
So, my vote goes to the boxweave or diztronic cases. BTW I got 2 diztronics for $14 from amazon, the black matte and smoke matte. Great deal!
^I'm actually thinking of getting a real cheap TPU case like that I can mod. My ideal case is a TPU Bumper, maybe the Boxwave Black out without the back part but have the vol and power buttons cut out. I guess it's just not feasible so far... ?
Anyway, Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.
bumper TPU from Amazon

first post here,
I have one of these.
search amazon for bumper cases.
I'm not allowed to post urls.
I like it, I have it on right now. What I have is different from what's
in the pictures. No cutouts for the buttons and the other cutouts are not
as big. The covers of the buttons are pretty sensitive, unlike the covers
for the Boxwave type which I got from Hongkong for 2 bucks.
Check amazon out, they have a lot of cases.
I also have the elago Breathe case, I love them I have two.
I ended up taking my chances on this. I guess it's going to be as close as I get. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

I have the 3 of them
Go for the Rearth Ringke Slim , is THE BEST OF ALL !!!
Hi all, I'm in a similar dilemma.
I've got a choice between these two:
https://www.gearzap.com/media/catalog/product/3/4/34484-2.jpg
and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-SI...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416682f7b6
I know I should pick the Zenus, but would the inside bit that holds my phone scratch the outer bezel? And since the hybrid one has a silicon case THEN a hard outer shell I figured it would be good too. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I use a an SGP Ultra thin. Comfortable case. Considering the size of the phone the case is great. Merges with the Phone. +1 anytime.
I ordered this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160732471512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It has a stand that works in both axis.
good
Nice
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on the Incipio Faxion today, this is a one-piece hybrid style case that offers great protection without adding excessive bulk. Made of a TPU and polycarbonate combination, the Faxion fits tightly on your Galaxy S3, ensuring a nice and solid feel. Ports and cutouts are perfect on this one, and although the back scratches up, at least the case is getting damaged and not your phone. Scratch & drop protection are very good since the combination of materials provides for great shock absorption and scratch protection. The case retails for 35$ from Incipio but you can find it for 20$ if you look around.
Check out the full review below:
i quite like this one tbh ... will scour around for a cheap one because it looks nice

It's a terrific case! Unless you absolutely love it, stay tuned for my CandyShell review since they are similar cases, that way you can decide which of the two you like better.
To be brief, I purchased 6 cases. Each had its advantages. The best case is the Spigen Tough Armor case with built in kickstand. It is a dual layered case but you can insert and remove the case while both layers are intact. Great protection and styling. Buttons are nice. Not too thick. I wish the side edges were smoother but I can live with it. Got it from ebay for about $17.
My 2nd choice is the Diztronic tpu case. It is thin and light. Nice to hold with a matte coating. Screen is protected by the edges. Styling is nice and simple. Buttons are fine. Not as much protection as the Spigen case and no kickstand but I like it's simplicity.
It goes for about $13 on ebay.
I like to switch off between the 2 cases.
Just wanted to post my thoughts.
The first pic is the Spigen Tough Armor
The 2nd pic is the Diztronic. It may also come in a hard version.
Thanks for giving your opinion, there are too many cases and little ranks ;D
If you want a tough case; the Otterbox Symmetry is amazing. It has the standard Otterbox protection, without all of the bulk of a Commuter case. It's a nice looking case without all of the cartoonish angles and lettering. I like it better than the Spigen Tough Armor (which is a very good case, BTW). I was able to pick up a black Symmetry case on Amazon for $19 (prime).
There are literally dozens of cases for this phone. The one I want and can't find is the Zizo Bolt Series for the 2 XL. I've seen the reviews on that case - and I'd love to have one. They make them for the standard Pixel, the Pixel XL, Pixel 2, and Pixel 3 / 3 XL.... but I haven't seen one for a 2 XL - which is odd.
If you happen to find one, please link it in this thread.
Thanks
Im all about the Spigen Case, Its been a great case for me so far.
I've been using Diztronic for a long time, at least since my Nexus 4. It is hard to top. We got the Spigen Tough Armor case for my wife's Galaxy S7 and discovered it was too thick for our car vent magnetic holder. I assume same issue with Pixel 2 XL version? I was able to snag a navy blue Diztronic before it fully went sold out, unfortunately on back order though so who knows, currently says Arriving Tuesday on my Amazon order.
In the meantime, I have a Spigen Thin Fit. It freaks me out as it is really too thin on the screen side. it is a good compromise for folks that dont want a larger case though. It also has a built in hole for my magnet for my vent mount.
Only recently got my Pixel, but I have a history of being quite fussy about cases, as well as being stingy!
I bought a slim plain hard back cover, which was fine, but then found this:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Caron-Fi...var=553503155444&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
It's honestly perfect. covers everything except the screen, but adds virtually no bulk, you almost can't tell it's a case. Doesn't mark or fingerprint either.

Does it cover the bottom as well? Can you share some pictures? And how much does it weigh?
It's absolutely perfect. Weighs virtually nothing. Looks like its part of the phone. Covers everything but the screen.

This is literally the best case I have had. Cheap and classy. makes my phone look super classy.
Mokoemi Fashion Lichee Pattern Shock Proof Soft 5.0"For Google Pixel 2 Case For Google Pixel 2 XL Cell Phone Case Cover on Aliexpress.
This is a brilliant cover
Bought one of these - cheap, feels really nice, makes the phone non-slip, stops it sliding out of your pocket. Shame it doesn't cover the top and bottom, but it's still a great case, and different from most
