Best thin 4S case

Here are some pics of the SGP, it's not designed for the 4S but the fit is very good. Also the sides clip right over the iphone and offer some 'face down' protection.
Unfortunately my item got damaged in the post, and I ordered red, but got pink!

Sides clip over to the front.

Search amazon for elago. Lots of colors and it the thinnest case out there. Fits all models including 4S
I just ended up returning my CaseMate barely there as the sides didn't fit tight and creaked when I held the phone by the sides. Also for some reason it lifted the back protector around the camera no matter what I tried. I would get it all nice and flat, out it in the case and sure enough it would bubble up around the left edge of the camera cutout.
I want to see what kind of protection something like that would give.
But anyway, I just got the Griffin Reveal and it's pretty good; worth the 6 or so bucks I paid for it anyway.
My requirements are...ultra-thin and cut-out for the Apple logo or at least see the logo through the case. After more thought, I can forgo the cut-out for the logo. I've narrowed it down to the Desmay Slight, Switcheasy Nude, CaseMate Barely There, Incipio Feather or iFrogz Ultra Lean. The only one I handled was the iFrogz Ultra Lean in white. Pretty slick case. The white color changes the look of the black iPhone. White case would be nice, but not required. The others are not carried at any local brick and mortar stores. Any more suggestions or advice?
I just got my Incipio Feather and I *love* it!!! I got the translucent westerly turquoise and I think it looks awesome on my white iP4S. Highly recommend!
Moshi IGlaze for me. That Desmay looks great too!

I like that it has a grip feeling at the back.
Do u have the 4 or 4S?
Tried the Moshi iGlaze 4 XT Ultra Thing(0.8mm) Case in clear.
Went back to the Desmay. Didn't like the cheap plastic feel of the Moshi.
I do like the Moshi iVisor, but the back case just makes the iPhone look cheap, and it feels very cheap as well. Fit was very good.
The Desmay has a much better soft feel to it, the case is also better molded, you can see the outline of the antenna mold in the case.
Going to return Moshi next week.
I think the Desmay is the best case if you are looking for case with good quality, feel and the closest feel to a naked iPhone.

Question, I have been thinking about the air jacket since I got my 4S. What all does it come with? I've seen some people mention a screen protector as well as a back protector(in addition to the case) and I've seen some people such as yourself just mention the 2 screen protectors.
so I decided to get the incipio feather in mercury but I can't find it anywhere! their store is sold out and on amazon the only seller selling it is charging 20, plus 10 for shipping which is more than I wanted to pay. Anyone else know where I might find it for cheaper?
Thanks

Not sure where you are located at, but when I was in Walmart(Mississippi) tonight I picked one up and looked at it. So, walmart does carry them and they were $19.88.
That is not a case. FYI.

The PS Air Jacket I purchased from a local first-party Apple Store came with 2 front screen protectors. I know they were both fronts since I used the spare on another phone. I guess you could use the other one on the back and put the case over it, if you really wanted.
See thats where I was getting confused at, this is the product description from the power support site. It stated (1) crystal back film. But, I've seen what you are talking about at the apple store.
Can anyone comment on the no-slip factor on these 2 cases? I'm looking for a case that when I put it on my leg in the car, it's not gonna slide off automatically.

- Incipio Feather
The Gecko Profile is the only one that mentions its grippiness. "Rubberised coating provides a non-slip, soft touch surface" ... but wanted user experience for confirmation.

The Desmay won't come anywhere near a front protector. It only comes up above the stainless antenna.
