    Upgrading my Agent 18 Ecoshield

    Hey guys, I have the Agent 18 Ecoshield. It's good, I like the design, but I find it wayyyyyy to bulky. I wonder if you have any suggestion as a replacement (THIN, great design, no silicone). I wonder which of these is the thinnest: Incase slider, Seidio Innocase or the Cozip case. Also, are they much thinner than the Agent 18? Thanks.

    I think they would all be an improvement, bulk-wise, over the A18, though I would say the Innocase is the thinnest. Also note the Seidio Super Slim Rubberized is even slimmer, if that is your priority.

    How are you so certain it's slimmer. Have you held them up next to one another? If so what what the difference in thickness between the two? Thanks.

    Well I believe Seidio touts it as slimmer (hence the "super" moniker) but you can even tell from the pictures.

    I've never held the two together though, so take it for what's it's worth.

    I LOVE my incase slider. I love it so much that I have another one in the mail right now. I dropped it on the street the other day (a really hard drop) and the bottom part broke. I notice no real difference in the size of the phone though with it on. Plus the white is sexy.

    I own the Agent 18 (white), innocase(blue) and incase slider(matte black)

    I am a firm believer that while some of these cases are slightly different in size it is marginal a millimeter here and there. I think it the streamlined design and shape of the cases that make them appear much different in size.

    The innocase and slider appear much smaller and streamlined than the agent18.

    If you like or do not mind part of the chrome bezel being exposed then the innocase looks and feels the smallest and thinest.

    Another factor with the seidio innocase is the clasp at the back which locks the two parts together, it may annoy some people as the incase slider doesnt have one, personally I think it is small and makes me feel better about the strength of the case.

    Both the innocase and the matte slider feel like quality products and less plasticky than the agent18 - you cant go wrong with either.

    I am delighted with the decision I made getting the incase in black and then a coloured innocase (the blue colour gives a sense of quality too) for a change.

    I have bothe the Innocase and the Super Slim cases frome Seidio. First had the Super Slim and couldn't stand the clicking from the seems where they join together, and it just got worse the longer I had it. I then bought the Innocase and personally like it more. The bump on the back is not ideal, but it's not a big deal for me (even though it would be nice if it would lay flat when it's on it's back). I see no obvious difference in the "slimness" of the two cases other than the bump for the latch on the back of the Innocase. Overall, I feel the Innocase is MUCH more solid feeling. I have dropped it several times now, and the case stays on very well. I also like the full screen exposure of the Innocase.

    Has anyone been successfully using the innocase with a screen protector? On mine the bottom edges of the innocase dig into the screen protector and caused it to bubble a little.

    I have the Burgundy Innocase with a Power Support anti-glare screen. When I first attached the case to my iPhone I did notice a very small bubble at the bottom right corner. Only in that corner. That was three days ago. This morning that small bubble is completely gone. I don't know how, but it's gone. But when you slide the bottom piece onto the iPhone you can lift the corners with your finger nail. That seemed to help me.
    This case looks great! No question 'bout it. It adds little bulk. just my two cents.
    Thanks

    Yah, I used the lift trick since I first put it on since I was already aware of the issue, still just the sheer pressure from the corner tabs caused an indent in the screen protector and the surrounding areas to slightly bubble.
