I'm looking for the absolute thinnest case I can find for the iPhone 12 with cutouts for buttons, and even better if are cutouts on the top and/or bottom. These were widely available for previous generations of iPhone, but I can't find on for the iPhone 12. I already have the Spigen Thin Fit and the Casekoo Slim fit, but sadly they don't have cutouts and they're also pretty thick compared to the iPhone X cases.
Got a tip for us?

Absolute thinnest case with cutouts for buttons?

Check out the Totalee matte cases. They're the thinnest and lightest that I've seen and they have the cutouts. Unfortunately they're not cheap.
This is my go-to case:

It has cutouts for the buttons and also top and bottom. It may not be the absolute thinnest case, but it is pretty darn thin at 0.65mm.

What is thinner? 10 grams is tough to beat.
I have peel cases for most my iPhones

Super Thin iPhone 12 Pro Case
Peel is the original and best super thin iPhone 12 Pro case. Just 0.35mm thin and branding free, it's designed to keep the original look of your phone while protecting it. Ditch the bulk and slim down with Peel. Available in multiple colors.
Agreed. Their MagEZ Case is only 0.85mm and 17.1g. I prefer the Air Case since it is thinner and lighter. Pricey at $59.99 though, but it is my go-to case and the only case I need.
I'm trying out the Pitaka MagEZ this year. https://www.ipitaka.com/products/magez-case-for-iphone-12?variant=32107624267846
Tried Totallee the past two times and they sucked to be honest. $1 case in a $5 package sold for $30.

Peel. Very thin with no added weight to the phone. I use both their case and screen protecto.
I've got one of those as well. Far too chunky for me, twice as thick as others.
You might want to look into skins. The cases you are looking at probably don't provide any protection other than from scratches anyways. https://dbrand.com/shop/iphone-12-pro-skins
Perhaps you're right. The iPhone 12 Pro is too slippery for me, so I want something to make it grippier but still have nice pocket slide.
I was looking at dbrands. It is too bad they don't offer the wrap in clear. The one I am considering is SlickWraps naked wrap in clear gloss.

I ordered a Pitaka Air case for the 12 PM. 10 grams and provides grip.
I have the Pitkaka Air Case for my 11 Pro and ordered it for my 12 Pro (arriving tomorrow!). Very thin, light and decent grip. The case literally feels like air. Much thinner than the MagEZ Case, which I had for my X.
@bpeeps Totallee’s site states 0.02-0.03mm and Peel is .035mm.
I sent mine back. Doesn’t cover the bottom and it was actually bent and damaged. Not worth the $60 IMOThis is my go-to case:

I have had a few totalee cases and don’t rate the build quality for the price.. The problem is that they are so thin that if you remove the phones a few times then they lose their shape and no longer grip the sides
@Bazooka-joe I’ve not had that issue with Peel cases. I’ve switched, back and forth with different colors with no loss of shape or grip.
I like all of the openings. The case gives it that bikini feel and look.
Dang, that stinks on the damaged case.
Yeah, pricey, but it is the only case I need.
I don't want the bottom covered. I don't want a lip when I'm constantly swiping up from the bottom.
