Looking for a minimalist case

I am rocking these right now. They are pretty good.

The Tozo one feels thinner but this one doesn't rock when it's laying flat on its back. That's why it's a little thicker, it account's for that bump the Tozo has.

Still its pretty thin.

Check out the Pitaka Mag Cases. About half a millimeter thick and made of aramid. Soft coat finish that is very grippy. Love these cases.

I've had a Pitaka case for years. I ordered mine for the Note 10+ almost a month ago... They always take long, must be backordered... But when they arrive they are perfect.
 
I picked up a tech 21 clear case today from best buy. Always liked tech 21 and this is no different. They are slim and at the same time provide enough protection from drops, have raised lips. After using the Samsung rugged case for a while, feels so much nicer to use the with the tech 21 case since it's much slimmer. So much easier to handle the phone.
 
What color Samsung leather case do you have? Also, how do you like it and does it add a lot of extra width?
 
I've been using Tech21 since the day I got my phone. Love the case, although wish it had a kickstand. I may try out the OtterBox Symmetry case at some point, as it looks to offer better protection while not being overly bulky.

I have the Samsung Leather case in black.

Offers good protection on the corners and adds good grip.

It's a minimalist case that adds medium protection.

I also have a Whitestone Dome Glass Screen Protector applied.

Title says it all. I don't want a big, bulky Otter Box style case. I have a Tech21 on my Note 5 and I'm thinking of getting one of their Evo Check cases. Anything thinner and lighter that provides at least as much protection?

Thanks,
Mike
I keep the phone always in a front pants pocket and treat it with extreme care. All I need the case for is so that my phone doesn't look like a completely slimy greased up fingerprint magnet! And, I want to show off how slim it is. When I discovered Pitaka cases and got one for my Note 8, I was completely thrilled. So I just took a bunch of photos. They are expensive - and VERY strong carbon fiber - and the thinnest case you will EVER see. Only "skins" are thinner. Enjoy the photos I took with my wife's phone:

Update... Look at the 4th and 6th photos in my previous post - found a defect that you can actually see in those photos that I did not notice before.. Took more photos of it that I told Pitaka about, attached below... We will see how well they treat me for an exchange...
