Grippy slim case - LG G6 Accessories

So I bought the Spigen Rugged Armor and it's just too slippery, can't hardly hold on to the phone with it on. ?
Can anyone recommend a pretty slim case that offers a lot of grip? Something with a rubberized costing on the back maybe. Don't know.. just want something that keeps the phone on my hand.. ?

I got this one and really like it.
Bear Motion for LG G6 - Ultra Slim Case for LG G6 2017 Release - Sand (Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XCFHYYW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Wn5bzbJSD34EG
Just know that it is not the most durable. I take it off and put it back on a lot, and it started to crack in places. Mine is also not perfectly centered over the buttons...lol. describing it like this makes it sound horrible, but it is probably one of my favorite cases I've ever owned. If you want some extra protection (the Bear motion is minimalist in this regard) and grip while still keeping it pretty slim, I'd go for the Speck Presidio Grip.

Nice, saw those a while ago actually. I wish they'd cover the top and bottom edges as well though and not just the sides.
What do they feel like? The Bear Motion that is.
The Speck one looks pretty grippy. Not sure about the actual look of it though-

I think I'd describe the feel as rubberized sand paper. It is rough, kind of like sand paper, and even though it isn't made of rubber (more of a hard plastic), it feels sort of rubbery in my hand. I'm pretty horrible at describing it:silly:.

argh, I would like the Bear Motion but nobody sell it in europe

Nah, sounds good mate, thanks! ?

I really wish Ringke would have made their Slim case for the G6. Had it on my Nexus 6 and loved the feel of it. It had a good rubbery texture.
Anyone know if Spigen's Thin one is similar?

In case anyone else is looking for something similar I ended up buying the Spigen Thin Fit and it's pretty much perfect! I kind of wish it'd cover the top and bottom edges but at least it covers the corners and I'm loving the feel of it. It's got a perfect rubberized texture that gives plenty of grip.

Nillkin nature is an awesome slim case. Very slim and perfect cutouts.

Nice! I've had that case for my Nexus 6 and besides it yellowing it was pretty spot on.

The Nature comes in darker colors, less prone to turn yellowish. Mine is 'gray', and has been holding up pretty good for about six months.

I prefer TPU cases. This is the one that I purchased. https://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-C...JJV5/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1494806314&sr=8-2
It comes in several different colors.

I just got this one, great grip, fit, and look.

I got the blue Bear Motion and its's slick !!! Love it !! Super slim and SUPER SUPER grippy. I you want slim and grip think no more, this is the only case you should go for.

Wasn't available over here without paying way too much for the shipping. ?

Like on S6 i bought Nillkin Nature best Slim grippy case ever.

I like Nillkin too, i have bought Nillkin's Synthetic fiber and Super Frosted Shield. and winner is Super Frosted Shield.
They have newer, more like rubber matterial than on Super Frosted for older phones (i have Super Frosted for Nexus 5x and Xiaomi Redmi 1S), so grip is fantastic.
And display protection is much better with Super Frosted too.
Also i have dbrand's vinyl (carbon series) and after more than week it's still slippery. I hope slickwraps natural series black leather will be better.

I ended up just making my own with this case plus some of this grip tape. The grip on cases is never 'grippy' enough so this works great!

I rock the Nillkin slim hard shell

Awesome idea

No branding. Buttons are dimples, work fine. Cutouts are perfect.
Mix of matte and gloss black.
TPU is tight and resistant to pulling off the edges of the screen.
Ordered late Friday night, got Monday morning.

Looks pretty good. Question: The amazon title says "and screen protector." This isn't a case with a built in screen protector, is it? I have a screen protector on mine already, so I don't need a case that has a screen protector built in, like an Otterbox or something. Just want a snap on case. So provided that it's just a case and a screen protector comes separately, how's the case fit regarding the screen? Does it seem like it'd interfere with a screen protector? Thanks
Screen protector is not part of the case. Just received this. Very nice
Awesome, thanks for the reply. Sold it for me, buying now
It just includes a cheapo plastic stickon protector.
The edge that wraps around the front is small, shouldnt interfere with any normal screen protectors.
You also have the quicksand case right? Which do u prefer this or the quicksand?

Quicksand is obviously slimmer. The sandy texture is nice.
This provides WAY more protection though. The matte texture is also nice.
It's a matter of what you need.
Just got this Hyperion case in. Perfect cutouts, perfect form factor still kept (it's very slim). $6-7 on Amazon, can't be beat.
+1 from me. I've got the clear case, nicely shows off moto maker colors while still giving it that bit of extra protection.
I also ordered this one and was pleasantly surprised.

wow that does look pretty good great find
I am waiting for the car sick to be released to see if it has limitations on case size. Hope they hurry before it is too late and I break this thing. This one looks good and cheap enough to just go for not knowing.

Got it today and love it. Wondering if I should've ordered the clear one though so I could see more of the back.
I got the frost clear one for a white moto x and it looks really good. The back has a nice matte feel to. I think this is the best tpu case for the moto x. I'd like a simliar hard case that is below 10$ but I can't seem to find one. Clear, dimple cut out, thin with a little lip for lay on the table.
Got this in frost clear. It's not bad but still too thick for my liking. Biggest complaint is that buttons are hard to press, would prefer a cutout of the buttons. Would've liked the whole thing to be matte and to reduce the edges on the front; they are too close to the screen.
The quest continues for the perfect TPU case.

Are there really TPU cases that are thinner than others? I've used a bunch on all my devices and haven't really noticed a difference in thickness.

Yes I had a TPU case from Spigen for my GS3 that was simply perfect. Super thin and somehow it did not interfere with the front of the phone at all, unlike most other cases. It kinda tapers outward, instead of towards the screen, so it still gave protection from falls. And yet it all managed to stay snug. This is the kind of case i'm looking for.

The only Spigen TPU case that I'm aware of is the Neo Hybrid. I had that case for my S3 as well and it definitely wasn't thinner than other TPU cases.

Nillkin Frosted Case Review

Nillkin Frosted Case Review
Link: http://goo.gl/qH6o3k
The fourth and final case arrived pretty early today and it is threatening the Ebestsale TPU case's reign on my phone.
Just looking at the case, you can see a subtle dotted pattern on the back. Once you feel the back, you start to question whether the Sandstone back was really your favorite texture. Then you remember the whole point of having the case, to protect your phone, right? Unfortunately, this case will not protect your phone with the efficiency Ebestsale's TPU provides. The edges are raised but not nearly as much as the TPU. After putting a quarter under the phone and moving it, the quarter does get displaced. The smaller raise causes the screen to be much more vulnerable.
The ports on the side are better than the blue TPU I reviewed and since it's a hard case, nothing is loose. Thanks to this hardness, the case is much slimmer than the TPUs. The top and bottom of the case reveal 90% of the phone itself because of the curved cut approach Nillkin took when creating this case. This makes it easier to put things in the ports but sacrifices protection because the casing won't be there to absorb the impact. This case will not provide the grip you get on the TPU or sandstone back.
Overall this case is not truly meant for protection but for a good show and boy does it deliver in that category. I would recommend this for those who can maintain the safety of their OnePlus and want a case that doesn't mask its identity.
Pros: Feels very nice - The Slimmest Case I've bought - Color Choices
Cons: Edges not Raised enough - Not enough case to protect- Slippery

Just got this case;
http://www.amazon.com/Nillkin-Frosted-Protector-Compatible-OnePlus/dp/B00L2D3NYE
I gotta say this case is AWESOME I have the Diztronic matte black case too, and typically I am a big fan of Diztronic, I had the Diztronic for my HTC One M8, and my brother does for his Nexus 5, and it's very thin, while also protecting the phone, but the Diztronic for the OnePlus One feels pretty thick and bulky for some reason on the 1+1, and is very slippery.
Anyways, this Nillkin black case is just perfect for me. The 1+1 is already a pretty large phone to begin with, and the Diztronic case made it feel quite a bit bigger and heavier, and I just loved using my OnePlus One naked, it felt so light and easier to handle, but I was always afraid of scratching it and dropping it. Well this Nillkin is very thin, and makes the phone feel naked almost still. It looks very nice, I love the rubbery feel on the back.
This case won't protect the phone much if dropped, but then again most cases aren't guaranteed to fully protect a phone. But I like the very light profile, making the phone still feel naked, but it does protect the camera in back, and the lip goes over the front screen, protecting the screen if you lay the phone face down.

Same experience here. I had a tpu case but I found myself taking it off often. This nilkin case looks great and feels like a part of the phone.

Yep . This case is great, super thin, like an extension of the phone itself, not a separate bulky case.
Great case i have it on right now lol. Im not afraid of dropping it all i wanted was a good looking phone case and this delivered
I've received it a week ago and I think that is a great case. Almost you'll forget that your One wears something additional. Grate feeling, slim and delivered with free nillkin film screen protection.

I have a Tudia branded version of it, you're right it does feel nice, just enough grip without being rough.
Bought a couple more cases, just for variety, both from Amazon UK (pictures from there too).
First one looks like it's a two piece but isn't, the black rubber bits are a permanent part of the shell. The stand is quite stiff so it stays in place at different angles, looks good.

The second hasn't arrived yet but I liked the techno look it has. Both were about £6.95 - The J&D arrived, it's a proper two part case with a hard rubber inner. The buttons are incorporated into the design as chunky blocks, very nice. Not so nice are the port covers on the base. Because the rubber is hard they don't fit very well, easy solution was to cut them off since I don'r need them anyway.

Just received mine 2 days ago. Feels good in the hand. Very slim profile so it does not add much to the device. Has a good grip surprisingly.

Pretty slick as well.
I am going to order a case from UAG. I have used them in the past and have found them very good.
https://urbanarmorgear.com/products/huawei-p10-plus
Well just got my UAG case. Thanks Amazon for free same day delivery. Really like this case. Great feel to it and doesn't add much bulk at all.
Using a Spigen rugged armor right now though I'm tempted to grab a uag. Have one on my mate 9 - feel it actually adds too much bulk to that already huge ass phone but the P10 plus is a much more reasonably sized device.
I more like ultra thin cases and skins. I half heartedly ordered this case from ali express and it turned out to be a complete gem. Very sleek premium feel and the price is just unbelievable! Peel or Shumuri would easily charge 5x for this case. Anyway, here is the link:

http://s.aliexpress.com/imuIJBBf
Some photos below, but i can tell the photos dont do justification here... The case is much nicer in real.
Cheers!
Cases i my region are far and few between...mostly because the release was delayed 2 months. It's coming out THIS month but I've had my P10 plus for a month now and used it as my primary phone for the last week. I'd had to say without question my favourite across any phone is the South Korea RINGKE FUSION.
It's mostly a range of CLEAR cases, so if you're looking for colour, look elsewhere
It shows off the phone how it was meant to be shown
Is a great mixture of TPU silicone (side/edges/buttons etc) and hard plastic (back)
The 4 corners/bumpers have airpockets to absorb impact of drops
1.5mm raised at the back to prevent the camera hitting the ground and cracking
If you like this sort of thing - has soft TPU dust pocket covers for 3.5mm jack and USB port

I have several cases and I really love this blue one with sandstone finish : it feels good in hands and less slippy than other cases. The only con is it hides the phone's beauty.
The original one that came with the phone is good too but the only thing I don't like about it is the camera part : it offers no real protection to the lenses, the entire area on the case is empty there.
I have the red version of this
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0...+plus+case&dpPl=1&dpID=41Hh9e7edaL&ref=plSrch
I need something to protect it from knocks drops and dust etc as there is a high chance of that at work.
The case is fudging huge and heavy. However its a trade I'm willing to accept to keep my phone safe.
Couldn't resist the urge to order a UAG Plasma case. They just offer great protection while not adding a ridiculous amount of bulk. Whilst some of their older designs are kind of ugly the newer stuff is sexy as.

Crazy case dump

I finally got all my cases in so I thought I'd share my thoughts! Hoarder warning: a LOT of cases be here

Olixar X-Duo, has a carbon fiber style back and a metallic bumper which looks SO good, I tried capturing it but my photo skills are kinda lacking, but this case looks great.
Got 2 tough cases, think I'll keep the UAG and give my brother the other as I quite like the front cover on the UAG though the kickstand is quite cool haha.
This Ultra-Thin case is ultra thin. Definitely not going to give protection but I love how near invisible it is.
Spigen Neo Hybrid, I really like the blue and it matches quite well with my phone I think.
FlexiShield, boring gel case is boring but <3 purple
The Alcantara Cover, have been using this since I got my phone and I loved it at first and it feels really good but... yeah doesn't look so great anymore. I'm quite sad about this, if anybody has any tips to keep it looking good please share!!
I thought I'd get this wallet case as I have a lot of key passes for work but I don't know, they're just not really my thing I guess.
Spigen Rugged Armor, I like how thin it is but apart from that it's rather boring
Spigen Slim Armor, this is probably my favorite case! I love the color, especially in combination with the black, I was afraid the black would bother me but it is honestly so cool. The kickstand looks a little flimsy tbh but I think it'll be fine.
If you were considering any of these and have any questions let me know
Good post, thanks for all the pics. Quite a collection

Hey, thanks, that's awesome!
There is something weirdly uncomfortable about the statement "Old stains of unknown origin"
The way we (other owners and myself) clean the steering wheels/shift boots/ebrake boot/etc. in cars I've had that are made of Alcantara is to take distilled water and add a drop of dawn, then rub the alcantara down with that lightly with a terry rag, then use a soft toothbrush to brush it back to being "fluffy" or "full" looking and then let it dry overnight.
I'm looking for the thinnest clear case possible, how is the fit on the Olixar? Are the sides tight, or all loose and floppy?

I'm looking for the thinnest clear case possible, how is the fit on the Olixar? Are the sides tight, or all loose and floppy?

It's really good actually, I was a bit worried about that myself cause I've had many cheap Amazon cases that are made of flimsy gel material but this one fits great. It's never going to give you much protection apart from superficial scuffs etc. but that's exactly what I want from it and the fit is good so no dirt getting in

What cases do you use?

I love this device and I'm waiting to get the Tech21 case for cheap on ebay for this phone as I loved it on my V30+.
Figured I'll go colorful until then.
I settled on this and it'll be here next week.View attachment 4777486
Got it in today.

This is an excellent 2 piece case with hard shell protection on all corners and a nice soft touch feel for 9 bux. It's very, very close to the Incipio cases I had on my S5. My Incipios have slightly softer tpu, whick looks just a bit thicker at shock points. On the other hand, this case is a little thinner, while remaining tough. It even has more hard protection on the top of the phone, and the plastic case feels stronger for that extra edge.
It's so cheap, I bought both color combos to mix and match, plus I'll have the replacement for whenever the plastic eventually breaks from a fall (even my Incipio cases broke to save the phone).

If you use this, remember to install and remove in 2 steps. Like most good 2 piece cases, the plastic shell holds the phone tightly, be careful how it flexes around the key cutouts during removal. It seems smoothest to remove the power button edge first.
Although the Incipio feels slightly softer, I'm confident the protection of this is roughly equal in everyday use.

Great case. TP around the edges and poly-carbonate back that is clear. Works great with wireless charging. very good fit.

It doesn't have that rainbow look due to the back being glass?

I have the following cases, but am currently just using a skin from slickwraps.
Ghostek Covert
CruzerLite Leather Texture
Ringke Fusion X

Encased Slim Armor
I have also spent a good amount of time at the carrier shops trying out the overpriced (but pretty great) cases:
Speck Presidio Grip
Tech21 Evo Check

If anyone has questions or wants photos, let me know.

I really want to see how that CruzerLite looks in real life. It was the one I was torn on before I picked that blue one I've got. I definitely want the Tech21 but it's gonna have to wait until I can find one on eBay for less someday.

I'll take some photos once I'm home. It's a very nice case and I use it when I get tired of looking at a greasy, fingerprinted device. I've have a love/hate with Tech21 cases - they're great protection but they add so much width. I'd say they're worth it if you really want that 10ft drop protection without going to something beefier. I'm a desk jockey so I'm really enjoying the phone+skin and I only slap on a case if I know I'm going to be somewhat active. It's a shame there aren't more options for LG phones. No love if your name doesn't start with Apple or Samsung.
Septembersrain - It does have a few small areas on the clear back smaller than a dime that look a bit extra shiny since they are in contact with the glass. Not rainbow though.
This case is awesome, very sturdy, has a lip to protect edges of screen, slim, supports wireless charging, kick stand on back for propping up phone in landscape mode, 3 colors, perfect cutouts.

Same as you will similar, simple and effective and still showing its colour.
I'm rockin the Ringke Fusion, aqua blue on black. Case does its job. Looks nice. Not very comfortable to hold though.
I'm using the spigen tough armor. Loving it so far! doesn't add too much bulk, but it's a solid case. the kickstand is a fantastic feature
I use TPU cases from X-Level.
Spigen Slim Armor, can't really go wrong with that one
And for $20 it's a decent price imo.
Spigen Liquid Crystal
Spigen Liquid Crystal with a Speck Grab Tab.
literally using the one it came with, thick and sturdy enough and hasn't yellowed yet either (crossing my fingers)

I use these also, they're great cases and work perfectly with wireless charging.
any love for the G8S? i guess not
Im using the Ghosttek case and so far its been what I was wanting. No more sliding off flat tables, or out of my pocket in the car and falling down under the seat anymore. All the buttons work well and has a minimal effect on the overall size of the phone very good case if you arent looking for otterbox style
