LOL yes I can just about make out the left being a tad thinner.
Surely what is the point of this release if its barely slimmer than the Slim Armor?
Got a tip for us?

Their new "shock absorption technology". The S may have a different finish according to the description on Amazon.
Either way, this is quite a disappointment. Still an improvement over the pre-S version, I suppose.
I actually bought this case last week after checking out this thread. I'm super happy with it so far. Very high end look and feel. Amazon actually isn't the cheapest place to buy currently:

Well technically I guess amazon is a bit cheaper...but you basically get a GLAS.t slim protector for free + another screen protector

I just purchased the Slim Armor S in Metal Slate. I will post comparison pictures of it and my current Slim Armor in Metal Slate once I receive it.
I received my Slim Armor S today. I think it is a lot better looking and around 20% slimmer than the original. The cutouts on the bottom are slighly different, there is gloss inside the volume buttons, and the power button. There is also gloss around the camera cutout. The shade of Metal Slate is 99% identical to that of the phone. It feels better in hand, and looks great.

20% slimmer my ass. Who taught you math?

Thats a sleep/wake button.
The home button is the round one in the front glass that isn't impacted by this case.

It has the same amount of lip as the original SA. The material on the back feels slightly grittier and more durable.
I know what the buttons are. I didn't say it was the Home Button in my description. I mistakenly named one of the photos that.
20% was a mistake. It's more like 12.5%
Still kinda generous. I'd say 10%.
It's a nice looking case, but my Neo Hybrid is serving me well! I probably won't buy one unless there's a good discount on one.
just got mine and comparing with the original one its definitely slimmer width wise. The grip feels much nicer.
I'd upgrade if the backplate didn't scratch so easily. The TPU/black portion has no scratches on mine, but the blue backplate sure did.
Just don't see the value in shelling out $25 for a case that's virtually identical that will scratch up again quickly. Haven't had any drop or crack issues with this one, so I'll hold off.

Nope, first thing I noticed on mine was how flimsy the bottom lip is. My only complaint.
Look on amazon, plenty of photos with phone in case.
