Post Best "least intrusive" skin?

Heard some concerns about the fit of skins such as the 'barely there'. Want to order one soon and was wondering what opinions are now that some time has passed.

I want a skin to protect the back from scratching or chipping from small falls, not enough to protect it from a hammer! Don't want to make the phone too bulky and will be using an Xoskin on the front.

Lots of TPU skins out there already. Quick and dirty way to see what's available is to do a search on Amazon. Diztronic seems to be an early favorite.

Search for diztronic on amazon UK comes up with:

Minisuit


Is that what you meant?

i got the s-curve one from ebay for 3 bucks (same as the minisuit one, sometimes goes under the name of qubits) and it's pretty slim. i also ordered the nilikin one to see if it's any thinner or snugger, because i didn't think the s-curve one was snug enough. i don't like the diztronic one because it has some extra cutouts (ie for the power button) which means a little less protection

These are the ones he is referring to. I am thinking about picking one up myself. Let me know if you end up doing it; i'm curious to see how they are.

I just get this

Fits snugly on GN, not slippery since rubberized and not too bulky

Looks decent but I prefer when the top and bottom of the phone are protected as well. I mean if you are gonna bulk it up why not cover the whole thing? Doesn't that thing slip off fairly easily?
