Best EXTREMELY THIN case-not silicone

[conman16]

Ok I'm looking for a case for my new 3gs I'm getting... Couple things I'm looking for:
1) I DO NOT want a silicone or rubber case that is difficult to get out of my pocket. I want it to slide out very easily
2) I want a very thin case, no screen protector neccesary
3) I'm also do not want buttons to be difficult to push. If buttons take effort to use, I do not like the case

Can anyone help me out please?

Please post back and let us know if there really is some inner lining that protects the bezel on the iPhone. :)

Incipio Feather

I'm really stuck between the feather vs the reveal.

The youtube (posted above) said he will do a comparison video soon.

I'm lightweight leaning more to the reveal due to the clear back (my iPhone 3G[s] will be white), but the price of the feather is very attractive as well.

Incipio Feather

+1 ^^^ Incipio Ultra Light Feather is the best. I got the black matte, and it has a nice snug fit and is probably the lightest and thinnest 3G iPhone case around. I like the case b/c it's shock absorbing. It also has ANTI-STATIC coating which grips the iPhone, NOT your clothes....:cool::cool::cool:

I want the reveal case but cannot buy it in the UK :mad:

I want to know if the rubber around the side covers the bezel and whether there is any hang when taking it in and out of your pocket...i wish it was a little thinner!

I am the same I want a thin plastic case that will show my white iPhone and protect the bezel.

Any other ideas?

If you google (sorry I can't post links yet) this case and carphone warehouse there is an article that says they should be stocking it on 30th June for about £19.00. Also Apple store seems to stock a lot of Griffin cases, so I think they will probably have it later too once Griffin starts shipping it to the UK.

I am going to get this case and my Best Skins Ever shield arrived in the post today. I just need to order the iPhone now....roll on Friday!

I am just concerned about the bezel still being on show and if the rubber enge peels back when you take it in and out of your pocket

:confused:

There must be a case that is thin, clear, plastic that will cover the bezel and be cheap?

[conman16]

ok I think I've lowered it down to a few cases (my worries about the case in parenthases):
Incipio feather (does it protect the bezel?)
Griffin reveal (does it protect the bezel? And I want more reviews)
iSkin Solo (are the buttons covered up-sleep/wake and volume-hard to use?)
Ultra-case (I really haven't been able to find even one review)

Anyone have opinions on these cases?

take a look at the power support air jacket. feather or air jacket would be the best for you. good luck!

new youtube video compared the speck, the reveal, and the feather

this guy is awesome

The best ultra thin case. My friend has one and it feels like nothing is on there... literally.

[lakaiordie]

+1 for the incipio feather

[houdinize]

any of those snap on cases get dirt inside and scratch the back or scratch the bezel when taken off or put on. I have one on my first gen and my wife has the power support jacket for 3G. some try to remedy this with rubber or logo screens but it is bound to happen. But, they are thin.

[truciet]

incipio hands down...no and's but's about it!

the sgpstore is the dumbest case ever...a circle on the back to show the apple symbol but yet it will let dirt/dust/etc get in! :mad:

That osir is awesome, i have a few of there parts for my GTI and they are nice.

Anyone of these cases dockable?

[conman16]

K now I've lowered it down to 2 possibilities:
1) iskin solo. I really like how it looks in pictures and how it seems to cover the bezel. However I am a little worried about the sleep/wake and volume rocker buttons being covered. Are they hard to push?
2) incipio feather. I like the cheaper price than the solo, and the thinness of it. However my worries are the fact that it doesn't look like it covers the bezel very well, and I'm not a big fan of how obvious the word "incipio" and the logo is on it.
Which case do u think is best and why?

[UserLain]

I had the iskin solo on my 3g and it does feel a little firm on the sleep/wake button, as well as the volume, But its hardly noticable. I kind of liked it, It made it feel solid. I went through a lot of cases before I settled on the solo so I give it my seal of aproval. Also I drop my phone quite a bit and the solo took all of them in stride.

Does anybody have a pic of the Griffin Reveal on a white iphone? I would like to know what it looks like. Also does the feather work with the invisishield on the back?

i have a iskin solo too and the sleep buton is covered but you can still feel it. Its nothing like the candyshell case. That one you just mash it hard and wait for it to press the button, it has no feeling at all.

late to chime in here... I've got the Power Support Air Jacket - very thin - from the photo earlier in this thread of the Osir case, the Air Jacket looks to be about same thickness but it covers the bezel much more than the Osir one does.

it doesn't cover the bezel completely however - but certainly more than that other case in the photo. but not a big deal IMO.

there are no logos on the Power Support Air Jacket, and no big hole for the Apple logo like some of the others I've seen. switches all easily accessible.

the Air Jacket comes with both clear and matte screen protectors - IMO theirs are the easiest to put on first try without getting dust or bubbles underneath, plus they're easily removeable and can be just as easily reapplied. they're easy to apply because they're stiffer than others and don't require liquid application.

I used to use a silicone case but didn't like those because they didn't slide in/out of my pocket easily and were kind of bulky in comparison. the Air Jacket is perfect in this regard.

the one downside I'll mention is the matte black Air Jacket has a tendency for the color to slightly wear off at the edges - but just at the very edges, not on the back - mine is 9months old now and if you look closely at the very edges you can see this in some places. If you're not looking for this you can't really tell, it's minor. but the iPhone black plastic underneath looks brand new. there's a clear version as well if you prefer, obviously that one wouldn't have the color wear off.

In case anyone is wondering you can kinda fit a full body shield with the feather. I have a BSE and got it in. Although it kind of folded the bottom corners and I had to shove them in. It works but the bottom part of the skin is a little bit ruined. Also, the top stays in a bit more than the bottom because of the skin. It's pretty much jacked up in there but since I dont really plan on removing the case, this works for me.

[oghowie]

take a look at the power support air jacket.

I don't recommend this. I got one but the volume rocker was very hard to use with the case on, so I returned it.

[conman16]

Everyone, I ended up gettin a red iskin solo. So far I'm diggin it. Looks awesome and the chrome is completely covered. It does take a little massaging to get it to fit right, but whatever

[V4705]

good choice.

anyone know anything about this case at only 1mm thick its worth a look and the felt on the inside to hep protect the back from scratches.

I just want to chime in about the Griffin Reveal. I tried to order one online, only to be told that they'd be out of stock until middle July, but that local Apple Store's should have it in stock - so off I went!

I picked up one locally for my 3GS and I LOVE it. I'm coming from an InCase Slider and I love the feel of the Reveal. It's so much smaller then the Slider that it feels like there is nothing on the phone. The sides are a rubbery type material that raise up over the screen which is good if the phone gets dropped and lands screen first. If you put the phone face down it will be resting completely on the rubber border of the case, which I like. The one problem with this is that if you hold the phone up to your ear a lot, the rubbery material could aggravate your ear, as it's not flush with the earpiece.

Overall, I love the Griffin Reveal!

Easy sliding in and out of your pants pockets? Are the rubber edges a lint collector?

I went to AT&T store to figure out why I wasn't eligible for 'any' 3GS discount and they had the Feather case there for $5. It doesn't have the logo on it. Just clean. They were normally seeling for $25 so for $5 I bought all 6 but they only had white and actually, it looks nice.

Just saying if you like the Feather case and don't like logos all over it - try an AT&T store because it's apparently rebranded for them. With no brand on it. :) It DOES say Incipio on the inside of the case.

[SuperKat]

Osir carbon fibre

Soooooo nice, but almost $60!!!

[AHDuke99]

Does Best Buy sell the reveal case from Griffin? Reason I ask is because the Apple Store is downtown and a pain to park near. This Incase is just too clunky for my tastes on my 3GS, but I really want to give a case a try before going naked yet again.

[zeluiz22]

I've been through several of these products. This has been the best for me in terms of thinness, tight fit and relatively good protection

Do they only have white? I did notice a few sellers on eBay selling the white one for really cheap recently.

[Thrilledge]

Are most of these cases available at the Apple store or have to be ordered online?

Incipio Feather - too much dust build-up (nice fit though)

Griffin Reveal - top loose and crap could easily get in from sliding in and out of pocket

Power Support - crap, too lose

Get the feather! If you don't like the label on the back, the AT&T stores sell a matte white one without the logo. I actually got mine from there and it was on sale for $5!!!!! Awesome case.

I love my Incipio Feather... I don't even know if I'll start using the Vaja when it shows up because this Feather has really grown on me!
