Case-Mate Barely There Case UPDATE: *Now Available*

wow i literally just checked 30minutes ago! how did i miss that! How does this compare to the seidio innocase ii?

Also is it online only?
Yea I think they just posted it. Ordered one. I had one on the EVO and they're extremely nice. Super slim. Maybe not as impact resistant as some of the thicker ones, but I'm not worried about that.
 
Just get a generic from amazon.com. $5 w shipping. Thing works like a charm and is of the same design. Believe its labeled robberies hard case?

Sent from my Thunderbolt (Boom!)

These cases are worthless. Barely there = barley protects. They almost always fly off when the handset is dropped. There is no protection at all for the screen or top and bottom of the handset. IMO worthless. You are better off with a gloss finish TPU case that tightly covers the entire circumference of the phone.

I bought my on eBay from AnAppleOnlineStore. Great store, great service. They didn't have the case listed on their ebay account yet but I emailed them and they put one up instantly!

eBay has cashback + eBay bucks = better deal :D

Hey man to each his own, but to me these are the best cases ever made. I'm careful with my phones, don't work in a dangerous environment, and prefer something with aesthetics. If I drop the phone and it breaks, hey thats what insurance is for. These offer just enough protection for my everyday wear and tear needs. Some may need a different type of case, but I'm sure there are plenty who prefer this type as well.
 
The only barely there case i want is the metal ones. Which still aren't available. I envy iPhone users when it comes to these things. Every company has cases, lots and lots of cases and accessories out on launch day for the iphone. we have to wait 3 months. for the first case

Exactly, You can walk into any store and they have walls and walls if IPhone cases and junk and three cases for the Thunderbolt. That goes for the Verizon stores too. Will see what Steve Jobs has up his sleeve for the IPhone5 in June if it looks good Im jumping ship in March when my 1 year contract is up.

Is there a way to "Unthank" someone? I thanked you because I thought you found a KIRF of the Barely There case called, "robberies" then I realized that you mean "rubberized". :p

By the way, not the same design. Sure they are made from similar material, but the Case Mate design makes it really different.

Maybe you can tell me when the iPhone 4 came out compared to when the Thunderbolt came out, and that'll answer the question as to why one case is out and the other isn't.

Then go look for Evo cases, you still wont find any. Try going to WalMart and find an Evo case. They have three isles of Iphone cases.

Barely There Review

Just got my case today. This thing is awesome. Super thin, fits perfectly, barely adds any bulk as promised. Shipping was free and was at my house in 2 days. Couldn't be happier with this case. :cool:

Got mine today.

Fits well, access to the kickstand is easy.

Recommend to some one looking for a thin case. Will it protect a big fall? Probably not, but for those who are relatively careful, this is a great case.

It is literally barely there.
