I would like to hear what case your using on your phone. Does it add bulk? Does it help grip the phone better?
The sides seems a little slick, worried I might drop it. Lol.

TPU black rubber case but don't care for it, it's not as grippy as silicone ones I've used on iPhones, and it shows smudges/grime, you have to wipe it daily so it doesn't get "greasy" feeling. Protects good though, dropped phone a few times and no damage not even scratch to the case.

I just prefer something more grippy. But I got it for like 4 bucks on Ebay with a car charger, nice deal lol. Silicone ones for this phone seem about the same size as the TPU ones, so to answer your question, no they don't really add any noticeable thickness, their fairly thin, not bulky at all (like otterbox etc)

Otterbox commuter that actually fits the I777 is 21 bucks on Amazon now. Fits perfectly as long as you get the part # with I777 in it.

Still pretty good grip. Really doesnt add that much bulk

Runtohell121, do you like it? Its looks like from the photo, that the battery cover is showing, so you could get to battery with out taking off the case?

SGP Neo Hybrid is the one that covers the back/battery cover.
SGP Neo Hybrid Ex doesn't cover the back/battery cover (a bunper case technically)

The materials are pretty nice, paid $27 for the case.

Paid $5 for the mobi when it was on sale in the AC market back on 12/14. Cheap, light, and thin. Fits well for being as cheap as it was.

Otterbox Commuter case. The Defender or any case with a lot of silicon makes it tough to slip into a pocket and the silicon grabs every little bit of lint it can. The Commuter case isn't cheap, but I love it. It doesn't weigh down the phone or beef it up too much. It won't protect the phone as well as tbe Otterbox Defender, but I think it's good enough. I've only dropped my phone once from about 3' onto a wood floor, so that's not really a good test of the Commuter's protection ability but, it's made well, looks good and gives me more to hold onto.

Thanks. Everyone. I ordered a otterbox commuter case. Its hard to decide when you can't see them first.:-D
I wanted one that would help me grip the phone and that would slide in and out of my pocket easily.
Now hope i made the right decision. :-D
