Thinnest iPhone 6 Case?

Also very interested in the Shumuri case since it seems to be made of soft material. They posted two new colors which look great but same view of the phone and no other pics to really understand what it would look like on the front...I hope it will be available on Amazon at some point soon since I don't like to order directly from a company in HK and wait three weeks
You know, other than the white Spigen logo on the back.Look through all of the images.
I just went back and looked at all the images... Only 1 photo has logo, and the rest does not... Hmmm has anyone gotten theirs yet?
Edit... you are right. I just asked on Amazon.

I just got mine today and it definitely has a logo, but it's not white. It's like embossed into the case which is nice. A lot like what Caudabe did on my Veil. Although I like the placement of the logo on the Caudabe more because it's much less noticeable.
Not a fan of the open cutout on the spigen one. I say that because I have the same spigen case on my Note 3, and since it's pretty big, I usually have my pinky finger on the bottom of the phone for support and the bottom edge of the case is sharp and is annoying on my finger. Alas, I didn't want to buy another case so I've just dealt with it. So I'm all about the full all sides coverage.
My Spigen Air Skin ($16) arrived a few days ago and it's exactly what I wanted. It's an extremely slim case just like the Caudabe Veil ($15) case I had for my iPhone 5s.
If you're looking for a slim case, this is the one to get (at least for now). It looks like the iPhone 6 with this case will be thinner than a naked iPhone 5s.
Here's some quick pictures I took comparing it to my iPhone 5s:

This looks exactly like my $6 monoprice case that just came in. Only with a monoprice logo.

Switcheasy has a case that 0.35mm thick that looks decent:

Can't say if it is the thinnest but the Spigen Neo Hybrid Case seems thin enough for me.

It sucks that none are crystal clear and see through wonder why that is, maybe the materials?
Yeah, I think that's what it is. Just a different material. I personally have been using the Caudabe Veil in frost with my white iPhone 5s and I actually love it because it's not crystal clear. I don't know if you've ever used a crystal clear case but those are like fingerprint magnets. The Caudabe frost version hides fingerprints and scratches much better.
Anyway, it looks like more and more manufacturers are making thin cases. But a word to the wise - they're all fragile and they will all warp over time. I am going to wait on Caudabe to release their Veil for the iPhone 6 in no small part because it seems like a lot of people on here have had good experiences with their customer service in obtaining replacements under warranty. I would only deal with a reputable company or retailer with a case like this because there is absolutely no chance you'll go 6 months without having it break or change shape. I love ultra thin cases, but you definitely pay a price for putting beauty and thinness above all else.

I am gettign a gold and just think a thin clear color would look nice on it. If I had a space gray or silver I'd get a smoke color or the clear/white color you see here in this thread.
It's nice but looks too bulky for me don't like the added weight either with the plugs

Except Caudabe still has their cases in development and Spigen overly brands their products.
if anyone orders one of the PP cases from ebay, please post pics or quality review vs the desmay, caudible etc.. I remember last year there were cases on ebay equivalent to both products for like 4 bucks.
I think I will go with a case from ebay again like in the past. Just cba to pay the premium price for the cases that are pretty much all the same.
I will order something similiar to this: http://www.ebay.de/itm/T17D-ULTRA-T...Taschen_Schutzhüllen&var=&hash=item51c3873d79
or http://www.ebay.de/itm/iGard-iPhone...Taschen_Schutzhüllen&var=&hash=item54103cab65
or http://www.ebay.de/itm/iPhone-6-Sli...Taschen_Schutzhüllen&var=&hash=item27ec2436f3
or here a 0.2mm case: http://www.ebay.de/itm/2x-IPHONE-6-..._PDA_Taschen_Schutzhüllen&hash=item4d247b0496
there are plenty of cases like that and all of them are 0.4mm or thinner and just 2€

When does your phone come in?
I was looking at this gray one and wanted to know how it would look with a space gray iPhone 6 like mine I got today.
I was thinking clear but not sure.
I got the cheap Spigen one that they still have not shipped yet.

Just saw that Caudabe is now selling the Veil on their website. Finally, definitely looking forward to this. If it's as good as my 5s Veil was, my case search is done until next year.
Tech Armor SlimProtect case is very thin
They have a sale for one more day. Coupon code ACTVBIRD and case is $4.99, comes with a lifetime warranty and is you review the product on Amazon you can get another product for the same value for free.
I'm testing a few cases now that I'll be posting a review on hopefully soon.

Good catch. I also have the Caudabe Veil for my 5s and am happy with it. I don't see a 6+ version on their website though. I suppose it's forthcoming. Would be weird to have the case for one but not the other. I'm still trying to decide which phone I want, but I'll definitely be picking up a Veil either way.
