What is the slimmest, LIGHTEST, most comfortable case at the moment? The Sheath is slim but heavy and don’t care for the pinky area.
I’ve had so many cases for my 15pm and was searching for the same, I settled on the apple silicone. It’s slim and light and fits the phone perfect with a ton of a grip.

I’ve never heard of this brand. Are the thin cases any good?

No, I had it and thought it was a poor fit.

The company is terrible too, I tried to return it and it was an absolute nightmare. Didn’t respond for ages/multiple chasers. I genuinely think they’re hoping that if they ignore you for long enough you’ll keep it and just give up. I think I only got my refund thanks to sheer persistence from me.

I sent the return by tracked delivery and they never contacted me/refunded me even after I could see they’d received it. I then had to chase them again just to refund the money.

Also - I’m fairly sure others on here have largely proved that some of their cases are identical to ones you get on Amazon etc very cheaply, and they they’re just buying the same case, putting their branding on it, then selling it at 2 or 3 times the prices because they market it well/have a swanky website etc.

I’m not often passionate about this sort of stuff, but I’ll tell anyone that will listen to stay away from them.

STEER WELL CLEAR!

To add to the 15% restocking fee…

If you wish to return your item, simply drop an email to help@bare-cases.com within 7 days of receiving your item. The item has to be unused, and in its original packaging. E.g. If the plastic protection piece has been removed from the Naked EX case and stuck back on, we will not be able to honour the refund.

In order for your order to be eligible for a return & refund, it has to meet the following criteria:

1. For Cases:

- Cases must be in brand new, unused condition.

- The case has to be in it's original plastic protective covering, and unopened.

- Any marks/blemishes/etc. from trying the cases would be considered user wear & tear, and will not be eligible for a return.

——————

@Bare Cases Care to comment on these utterly laughable return policies? I’m surprised you manage to do any business at all with them in place.
They SUCK big time. They are just selling rebranded $5.00 cases for huge money. I’m stuck with a $56.00 armor case that I can’t give away on eBay for $25.00 😩

Plus it took 30 days for me the receive the Bare case from China.

Just looked at that Armor case.

Definitely a rebrand.

Can get those on Amazon for £10-15. Jokers.

Yep, 100% the exact same case as the $19.00 Aulofe on Amazon.

I’d probably say natural, but I don’t think you can go wrong with black either.

Also amusing how bare cases used to be active
On here until ‘their’ products launched and members had issues that needed sorting
Good point, they haven’t posted since 26th November but were last active yesterday.🤔

I'm looking for something that grips well and doesn't slip and has raised lips and for protection, was looking at the dbrand grip but I'm not sure, any recommendations.

Dbrand Grip is good, there’s also the Phone Rebel aramid, Caudabe Synthesis, and the Smartish cases. All are considered “grippy” and protective to varying degrees.

Finally found a nice silicone case that fits well and comes in white! It’s made by elago. Silicone feels smooth and comparable to the Apple silicone case. It has nice metal buttons that are very clicky and works great with MagSafe. Lots of colors available but I was only interested in white. Got it on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/elago-Magnetic-Silicone-Compatible-Accessories/dp/B0CMVZ9TK3 View attachment 2350704 View attachment 2350705
Could you take a photo of the front with the phone in and maybe one that shows the lip?

Edit: Just had a look on YouTube and the lip is too elevated for my liking. That’s why the Apple one is still the best silicone case I’ve found, minimal lip and the sides don’t curve over onto the front of the phone.

If the Apple Silicone case came in white, I’d be all over it!
