Thinnest iPhone 6 Case?

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.

Nice! I'm looking forward to getting mine. I used it for the 5S as well and I was very happy with it. I'll post a review when I receive mine.
 
I really like this New Trent Trentium 6S Ultra-thin case

I bought the ultra thin monoprice iPhone 6 case
http://www.monoprice.com/Category?c_id=112&cp_id=11213&cs_id=1121302

I like it , is worth the $5
Out of stock at this moment
 
Just saw the caudabe website saying they make a 6 plus case, but when you click the link and check the compatibility it only says 6. Not sure if I should order it or not. Anybody know?

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.

Jumped on this deal for 5 bucks .... I ordered the gray and then added the clear to the cart and it let me use the code again for another.

Thanks ... I have 2 other cases so far but for the price might as well have a couple more.

Just bought some from the Caudabe website and didn't see any for the 6 Plus. Picked up a couple of Veils for some family members today. Big hit in this household. Only thing is they break easily, but they're cheap to replace.

If you live in the US, I don't know why anyone would bother with the other Shimuri cases or whatever. They look exactly the same as the Caudabe but then you have to pay for shipping from who-knows-where in Asia AND you have to wait a long time. Why not just get the Caudabe or the Spigen?

I always like the thin case, but this time I want something at least thicker than camera lens, so the camera won't toch table, I am looking for case is 1mm or more

My buddy got one of these and said he was pissed cause the case was awesome but unfortunately TO thin cause as you can see the protruding camera on the phone sticks out so far its sticks out past the case and when laid on it's back like most phones are 99% of the time the glass on the camera still touches what it's laying on and makes it wobble along with of course scratching up the lens ..... Kinda defeats the whole purpose.

So lesson on thin case for the iPhone 6 with protruding camera ....

Don't Go TOO Thin cause you still need to protect the lens and that takes a little extra thickness (and wouldn't you be pissed if your camera lens got a nice scratch on it? Ya thought so)

So I removed that case form my cart and will not be buying it.

I have a Kaycase Slim ... VERY nice case for 9 bucks and I got mine on Amazon last week for $2.99 on some weird slickdeals special with coupon code.
Also just ordered a couple of the Tech Armor ones as well for 5 bucks ... those will arrive Monday .... and I also have a Spigen Case Thin Fit on the way as well due Monday.

Hey for the prices right now why not! (plus me and my wife have the same phone so I am buying for two really and we can pick and choose).

Hopefully one of these fits the bill ... but as of right now the Kaycase is Awesome for me and a perfect case for the price!

I can see why not even put a case on it but can't expect much from a case(if you can even call it that?) that is called airskin and advertised as .4mm thin. I planned to get applecare anyway since I really did not want to put a case of any sort on this phone to keep it thin. For me it's decent since it adds pretty much no bulk at all but at the same time some texture to make it a bit more grippy.

Exactly. Cases like the Caudabe Veil and the Spigen Airskin are for people who like the near-naked feel of their phones. If you went naked, you'd have the same issues with the protruding camera. If that doesn't appeal to you, then you're not looking for these super thins.

And in any event, I wouldn't be that worried about scratching up the lens itself. That sucker is made of sapphire glass.

My Spigen Air Skin ($16) arrived today 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:

Does the air skin have any grip to it or is it slippery? I bought a different spigen case and I love the case itself but it's just to slippery.
