It additionally has a built-in lanyard, comes with a magnet for Qi2 charging, and has clicky buttons. The plain black design is boring although, and the fabric is slippery.

Latercase Skinny Case for $59: Here is one other super-thin case for individuals who hate conventional cumbersome instances. It is created from aramid fibers and can preserve your cellphone scratch-free (at the very least, the again of it). There is not any safety for the underside edge, the buttons, or the highest edge, so it is fairly minimal. I just like the gentle texture of the fabric although, and it seems to be fairly. There are sadly no magnets for Qi2 performance. The excellent news is that in contrast to many skinny instances I’ve examined, this one may be very simple to take away.
Tech21 EvoArmor and EvoClear Magnetic Instances for $50: These are some stable, easy, and smart-looking magnetic instances with Qi2 performance. The sides across the display screen are raised to guard it, the buttons are responsive, and there is a spot to connect the lanyard.

Nevertheless, the plastic sides of the case really feel just a little misplaced and make it really feel low-cost. The sides across the display screen are additionally barely raised, so it would not really feel very protecting. Surprisingly, wi-fi charging works, although there aren’t any magnets right here, so you do not get Qi2 help. The underside edge can also be weirdly not protected.
Samsung Silicone Case for $30 and Rugged Case for $60: Samsung’s official Silicone case does the job, however I am undecided what it does greater than the cheaper choices above.

The buttons on all of those are barely stiffer than on the opposite instances I’ve examined—not horrible, however simply sufficient to note. Many of those do not have magnets in them however the Santa Cruz Snap does, and it labored nicely on my Qi2 and Qi charger. The sides are grippy, which is why I prefer it.
Benks ArmorAir Case for $40: This case is one other ultra-thin case, however it’s created from Kevlar fiber, although how a lot sturdiness that gives when it is this skinny is questionable.
