If you're looking for an ultra thin case, these dollar cases from a seller on eBay are really very good. I've tried at least 10 different ones and really like these. The ad says they are TPU but I see them more like a really thin plastic. They are designed very well and fit perfectly. They are also easy to put on and take off. The only drawback is it takes 2 weeks to get them from China. Here's the link:

This is the best in my opinion. It has an awesome feel, look, and price.

The Spigen SGP Ultra Thin Air in black, white and clear is a nice slim case:
Other than that, the Poetic Atmosphere (clear with black/white/orange/purple/red bezels) is quite popular, especially if you want top and bottom protection:
Then there is the Case-Mate Barely There, which is really slim and unlike the others, comes in a wide variety of colors.

I have taken mine off probably 20 times, and haven't noticed any scratches at all.

Not sure who you are referring to but I have the Bodyguardz Pure and although the recess really isn't that bad around the home button, the jelly button sticker just works better for me.

Maybe me, but I have the SGP Glas.tR installed.

No, if I'm looking at it correctly, duffc just has a thin film on his device. I have a glass protector and prefer the recess, but it'd make sense for me to use the sticker for obvious reasons.
I have the GLAS.tR installed, jackass.
Must just be your case with deep edges and round body.

Just want to confirm, you have a glass SP on there, right? I have a GLAS.tR and want to buy a case like this but want to make sure it is compatible.

I have the Bodyguardz Pure glass protector on my phone. All of these cases that catch on the chamfer edge and don't come up over the screen are fine with the glass screen protector.
