I received my Slice 3 today. I'm really loving this case. It is ridiculously thin. It's only slightly thicker than most skins (zagg, bse, phantom etc...). I was afraid it wouldn't help with antennagate but it does indeed keep my bars/signal intact. It fits like a glove and all the cutouts are pretty much perfect. The volume buttons still retain decent feedback and the case adds very little stiffness to them. The only thing I'd change about this case is possibly have a surface that has more grip. Something like a satin/soft touch would be nice. It's pretty much like a naked phone but the back is now more slippery because it's covered. Overall, this is the ideal case for someone that wants to have as close to a naked phone as possible. It also provides better scratch protection than skins and actually helps with signal drop.
Got a tip for us?

Worlds Thinnest iPhone 4 Case - Pinlo Slice 3 Review with HD Pictures.

1.2cm is the depth of that case not the thickness of the material - but I'm sure its not thinner than the Pinlo.
Update: Ack, my case cracked already. I had it on a coffee table and my dog came by and knocked my phone off of it. It fell about 1.5 feet onto a wood laminate floor and now it has 2 large cracks at 2 corners. Such a shame. I really like it and thought it'd be a bit more durable but I guess I was expecting too much. It really is paper thin like they claim (business card).
Too bad dude!
Mine fell a few times already and doesn't even have a single scratch on it.
I guess it depends on the way it falls...
Just buy another one
I actually have 2 more on the way for my cousin and uncle. I could just take one for myself and order another but I seeing how fragile they are it just seems like a matter of time before I break another one. I could just stick with the dozen or so cases I already have and stop buying more haha.
Hearing about this durability issues im kinda glad I didn't jump on this case when it first released. I mean for it to be the thinnest case available that should me it cost the cheapest as well lol To many great cases for that price and don't add much bulk..
far better deal http://www.sw-box.com/Worlds-Thinnest-Case-For-Iphone-4-Transparent.html
Doesn't mean it's of better quality, I've heard very mixed reviews about this company.
i have ordered from swbox a few time and some stuff is great and others are horrible, otter box and bumper knock offs i got were pretty good but i got a white glass back that my screws wouldn't even screw into. oh well i would just get the real pinto slice unless you order a bunch of stuff from swbox the shipping isn't work the price. it might only be 2 bucks for the case but it is 15 for shipping so do the math.
i ordered a few cases and it was only about $5-6 for shipping, it might depend on where you are located. I wouldn't personally order super thin hard cases because you know they are probably prone to cracking.
I just pretended to place an order and it was $5.82 for shipping, total = $9.02 still cheaper then $30.
I'm going to place an order soon, maybe tonight...i'll let you know as soon as i get them. i'm willing to be that the sw ones are exactly like the pinlo version.
From the pictures and video I can already tell it's not the same as the pinlo. However, it does look a lot like the caze zero 5 which I have in matte. It's thinner than cases like the incase snap/switcheasy but not as thin as the pinlo, which is literally paper thin. The Slice 3 is even thinner than some skins I've used.
If you're debating between these cases it's pretty easy. Pinlo if you want only scratch protection and for antenna problems. Switcheasy for ding and some drop protection. Check out the caze zero for something in between (but without "lay on the table" design).
I bought the clear and smoke ones from sw-box, and I really like them. They do show scratches after being tossed onto my desk all day, but the scratches are far less noticeable with the smoke one. Really can't beat this for the price.
Everything I've ordered from sw-box (about 8 cases and 4 sticker skin sets) has been of great quality. I'm also currently using one of their carbon skin sets with this thin case. I posted a thread with images a while ago.

Can anyone link me to a reseller, preferably in the US, that sells the Pinlo Slice 3? I refuse to buy it from the Pinlo website. Thanks!
