I had this case on my 6S Plus and but the exact same case from my iPhone X at the Apple Store. See the link I provided, above, for drop test protection information.
Personally, I can attest to drop survival from distances as far as 3 feet (screen down impact) with zero damage to the phone or case.

Ringke brand has produced a shell like design for years that covers the top and bottom along with a thin lip for on the screen protection.
Not expensive at all but also not super protective. Basically good for very small drops and scratch protection.

This. I used a Sheath on my past phones. Great case. I got the iPhone X version and it’s a nice update. Much more grip, better looking design. I’m using a different Caudabe case right now, but the Sheath is probably the best of the bunch if you want thin + protection.
I keep it simple
cheap spigen thin flexible clear case for like $15CAD off of amazon. Works perfectly.

I 2nd this. I have the sheath for my X and its got much better grip than the previous versions. Can’t confirm drop protection tho but it looks like it will provide adequate protection
I got this thing today, and it's going immediately back... Looks nothing like the ad, and looks sooooo cheap. Super disappointed.

It looks different than what's on Amazon.

I bought this and really impressed with it. Thin and protective without making a Versace Phone look like its got a Donkey Jacket on.

How grippy is this one? Looks just like that I’m looking for however I don’t want one that’s super slick and will slide right out my jacket pocket etc....?!
Not sure what you are used to, but I did purchase this one first

Found it was way too slippy. Having bought the Spigen Air Skin, I found it was a happy medium between being too grippy or too slippy. I had a similar case on my iPhone 6 and never dropped it once. I feel confident holding the phone with this Spigen case.

Currently I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case. I want something thinner. This one I have is perfect grippy. I just don’t want something that is slick as hell like for instance the iPhone 7’s were (mine was matte black), damn that thing was insanely slick! Just need a lil’ grip to it is all I ask!!

You might want to give Ringke Air a try. I posted some pics in the case related sticky. I had the Liquid Crystal and think it’s too bulky.
Tozo case from Amazon. Can’t get much thinner. It does no offer much drop protection, but it does protect from scratches, etc. I buy a couple at a time. Cheap and decent quality. Hardly know it’s there.

I just scoured the box looking for something to identify what model it is... nada. I just went through all their products for iX on their amazon store, cannot find anything that looks remotely like it. baffled...

does it have any lip to help with a face down position?
There is no lip on the case which would protect the screen if it was face down. Personally I don't face it down so this isn't an issue for me, plus I like the smoothness of the lines that compliment those of the phone, so a lip would not be good for me.
The Tozo is ideal if just looking for scratch protection.
For good protection without excessive bulkiness, I ended up going with the Spigen Thin Fit and an Anker Karapax screen protector. Very happy with the combo.
