Best
Thin Cases for Galaxy S20 Plus
Android Central
2020
No matter your taste, your phone needs a case. This is a bit of a motto for me, but for glass-backed phones like the Galaxy S20+, you really do need at least a thin case to add some grip and give that glass back a minimum of scratch protection. Whether you like your thin case hard or soft, clear, or colorful, there’s an option for everyone.
Staff pick
If you hate cases because they’re bulky, Totallee has built its entire brand around people like you. These are the thinnest cases you can get; they are entirely free of branding or emblems and come in clear or black.
This clear case is thin as can be and grippy as all get-out. Ringke may have built most of its reputation on more robust cases like the Fusion X, but it can do thin just as well as the hotshots when it applies itself.
While there are slimmer cases available from Spigen, I recommend the Liquid Air over the Thin Fit because it’s a more reliable case, and the extra grip from the triangle/diamond pattern across the back is worth the upgrade.
I am a sucker for a bold colored case with a beautiful design, and Tech21 delivered in spades. This case, made from plant-based materials and sporting anti-microbial protection, is available in four colors, including teal and pink.
This thin TPU case is flexible, functional, and affordable, and as a cherry on top, it comes in three colors that look more expensive than its price tag: a tasteful gold that is not rose gold, a majestic purple, and your standard slimming black.
Available in green, blue, and black, this polycarbonate back cover snaps on and stays on. the bottom and the buttons are exposed on this case, but it’s a slimmer profile than the more flexible TPU cases.
Rather than going slimmer and smoother like some other thin cases, this sleek silicone case has a shallow texture across the back and sides so that you can keep your phone from slipping out of your sweaty hands.
Thin doesn’t mean useless
Thin cases can seem dainty — and make no mistake, these cases aren’t going to have much drop protection — but thin cases still have three purposes on your Galaxy S20+. They add grip, so this glass-backed beauty doesn’t slip out of your hand, protect your phone from scratches and scuffs, and add some personality. The darling of the thin case world is the Totallee Thin Case, with most preferring the thin hard-shell black model over the squishier clear case.
If you prefer your thin case with a bit more color, there’s always the Tech21 Studio Design, which you can use to help overcome the lack of color options for the S20+ itself. If you want to show off the Cloud Blue S20+, there’s also the thin and transparent Ringke Air.
