Thinnest iPhone 6 Case?

Yes. It's really nice in that it's glossy and slides in and out of a pocket without any skidding yet has a grip that won't slip out of your hands.
Again, I'm a huge Spigen fan, really wanted to love the new bumper Neo Hybrid EX I bought, but I can't let this little cheap TPU case go. It's the first time I've experienced the slim/sleek design without all the bulk.

Ha..it's the same dude I got my gray matte super thin case from (non-TPU) just before launch...the one you put up was for a plus.....reached out about regular iPhone 6...thanks.
That just sounds like marketing jibberish to me. I have both and they feel like exactly the same material to me. The only difference being that the Veil feels just slightly thinner than the Spigen.
I got the Caudabe just because I had good experiences with their Veil case for the 5s. If it breaks or chips, their warranty policy is superb. And you'll probably end up breaking or chipping either of these just given how thin they are. But otherwise they're both about the same.
EDIT: by the way, the Spigen isn't necessarily cheaper than the Caudabe. Just searched Amazon and the price for the Spigen depends on which color you get. Frost is cheapest, the gray one the most expensive.

Your logic is a little screwy. I got both which is how I know they feel exactly the same.
And yes, I'm a case addict.
4 ... and counting! I can't make up my mind between the Caudabe Veil or Spigen Air Cushion. Air Cushion is a little bit thicker than I'd typically want, but it's nice. I tend to be overly protective of my gadgets in the first few months. So ill probably use the Air Cushion and then switch over to the Caudabe after I'm past the honeymoon stage.
For some reason, still intrigued by the Apple silicone case even though I really don't like the feel of it.

Just did a review in it. It doesn't offer much protection but that's not something a case like this offers anyways.

This looks like the Rearth Slim & Spigen Thinfit case. Based on the pictures, the camera lens is protected but too bad the top is open.
Edit: The power button seems to sink in to the case and does not stick out so your fingers will touch the case when you hit the power button which feels uncomfortable to me like the other 2.

Just came across a company called Slickwraps. It's a skin but looks like a case. Made in usa. http://www.slickwraps.com/iPhone-6-Skins-s/810.htm
Anyone had any experience with them?

It won't. It's not really designed for that. Not everyone likes these types of cases - because they're so darned thin, they're really only for people who don't worry about dropping their phones.
The one I have is basically the same thing but made by Caudabe. http://www.caudabe.com/collections/iphone-6-accessories/products/the-veil-ip6-frost
My Caudabe for my iPhone 5 was great. This one for my 6 is more or less the same thing. Feels good in the hand and almost disappears from sight. The frost works really well with the silver and gold iPhones.
I got an insignia clear case from best buy for $14.99 and it's pretty minimalistic with a nice lip for the screen. Dropped my phone yesterday from pocket level and it tumbled, landed face down and not a scratch.
Ringke Slim from Amazon for $9.99. http://amzn.to/1sWXVWKIt has a lay on the table design, full coverage with that black grippy feel. I also have a glass screen protector with graded edges I bought off eBay for $5. Seems to be similar to the Zagg one Best Buy sells. http://ebay.to/1sWZzrD

Hi BJ,
I'm looking to get the same case after looking at your pics
Is this supposedly the same case in the UK eBay store?: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Thi...sPouches&var=450602285663&hash=item2340e91330
Also, what is the grip-ability like with this case, and is it clear?
Many thanks!
I quite like ringke slim's texture and feel. Had one for iPhone 5 but after a month of use the grippy material around the edges started rubbing off. Hope it isn't as much a problem on the 6 as it doesn't seem to have sharp edges like the 5 case.

Looks to be very close indeed, the only difference seems to be the cutout for the headphone jack, everything else looks spot-on.
The case is glossy and has great grip. Completely clear, from 10 feet away people will think you've got no case on at all.
Enjoy.

I got both of these cases, one for the phantom ATT iPhone 6+ which I will probably get some time when the iphone 6s+ will be released next year(kidding aside, a friend of mine has a verizon 6+ and he is using it).
The ones for 6 are being used by a few friends and they are very happy with it. At $2/case and being shipped from NJ they get it to you very quickly. It is clear just the way I like it and has a good feel to it.

I ordered the Shumuri and the Spigen Air on the same day, and was going to cancel one based on which shipped first. Well, the Shumuri case shipped first so I went to cancel the Spigen case thru Amazon, which you can't. You have to send a "request to cancel" to the manufacturer, which I did but they didn't bother to read it until after they shipped their case to me.
So the Spigen arrived before the Shumuri one, and so far I like the Spigen. Although it's not as grippy as I was hoping. Once the other one arrives I'll compare them to see which one I prefer.

I have both the Spigen Air and the Shumuri.
I prefer the Shumuri. It's thinner and it also protects the bottom of the iPhone.
The Shumuri doesn't have branding on it either.

Only time will tell. I've had it almost a week and it's perfectly fine. For the price, it was worth a shot. I usually rotate cases over time.
I have the Caudabe Veil & the Shumuri. Both very similar except the Shumuri has the bottom of the phone covered, which I like. The Veil does not. The grip is about the same and other than the bottom, the protection is about the same. I'm using the Shumuri now because I really like the blue on the space grey phone.
