Minimalist case on Amazon?

[quietlybrilliant]

I’m looking for a case sorta like the Spigen Liquid Crystal but much thinner. The Spigen is *very* thick and ads substantial bulk to the phone. I’m looking for something more like a Peel case but the Peel’s won’t ship for a few more weeks and I need it now. Is there anything on Amazon that’s 0.3mm or so thin?

I like my bear motion case, but it's thicker than a peel case and only 7 bucks

I like my maxboost msnap. I actually added a skin underneath it.

Bear motion cases are really great and I love the the sandstone texture. Cheap too.

I am still waiting on my Peel case.... :/

How about MNML? From what I've read it's the same as Peel. I have one. Can't get any thinner. Only complaint is it's pretty slippery. I ended up going with a Pitaka which I like much more. Though it's expensive and currently out of stock. I have gotten $15 in my paypal from them for their referral program. $5 for every referral

I too ordered the Spigen and it's just too cumbersome. I ordered these in clear today from Amazon. They look thinner and I can't wait to get them.The Spigen is just so thick and takes away from the beautiful look of the panda 2xl.

I like the liquid Crystal. It actually protects your phone from drops without being too thick. To me getting a case only good enough against scratches is a waste of time

I agree but I have arthritis in my hands and I just find this case a little too big plus it makes the phone heavier which over time makes my hands hurt. Hopefully the new ones will be better.

You might also consider the Thin Fit from Spigen..... pretty good protection without much bulk. The downside for you might be that it is black, not clear.

I've been using the J&D case until my Peel arrives. I am very happy with how thin it is and expect the Peel to be about the same.

FYI, there is no front lip to protect the screen when placed face down though.

Thanks! Appreciate your input!

Consider the Fosmon clear TPU case: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...ag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUacUvbUpU6112559

It's only $8, and on Prime.


It's thinner than the Spigen Liquid Crystal.

Also, I got the MNML case, but never put it on my phone. PM me if you want it...I'll sell it for cheap.

Oh cool. I think I'm going to get that one ^^. I shelled out $40 for the cloth case bc I had a giftcard but it's pretty dirty after only a few weeks. Plus, the cloth is a bit slippery. It looks cool though. I'd go caseless, but I already dropped one Pixel 2. :'(

 

[Sean Cogan]

You're very welcome!

I also like the Rugged Armor from Spigen. It provides a bit more protection, but without adding too much size & bulk:

I'm usually pretty good with my phones myself, but I also can't trust myself to keep my P2XL from dropping. One thing to add is that the sides of the Fosmon has some texture differences compared to the rest of the casing, so that will help hold on to it.

This is a really good thin case. I loved it on my 6P. But one thing to know is that because of the Pixel 2 XLs rounded screen edges, there's more of a noticeable lip...it might not bother everyone, but I didn't care for the feel of it.

I love Fosmon cases. I have the Trianium clear case but actually use a Chinese knock off of Ringke Vault series. I have the Navy Blue version and it is an awesome sleek think case with decent protection.

I am still waiting on my Peel case.... :/

Still? Dang

Yeah they're so delayed. Makes me sad.
