Any recommendation on what cases that are available out there for 4s? I'm looking for very thin case minimal protection about .5mm or .35mm.

Hmm those both look good. I am also interested in this, but I hate the look of a case on an iPhone, but I want something to protect the camera lens, thats it.

I'm currently using the iSkin Claro case. I like the clear cases but not sure if I will keep it. I also purchased the holster that they sell. Not impressed with the holster. Anyone have any recommendations for holsters for the 4s?

iSkin Claro

Update: The holster that I bought from iSkin finally broke tonight while I was trying to put my phone in it. Its just way to tight of a fit for the phone even though they say the holster is made for this case. Guess I'll be looking for another case and holster solution.

This is what I have.

iphonecaze.com/iphone-4g-cases/iphone-4-zero5-matte-ultra-thin-cases.html

It's pretty good except the matte white/clear tends to "yellow" over time.

Thanks for the input so far. Pinlo Slice 3 is a good one but the iPhone 4 version won't fit the 4s.

I also like the zero five from Caze. I have the clear one I bought for my iPhone 4 and it hasn't yellowed but when I take it off I can see all the scratches it saved my phone from getting. I'm going to order a new one for my iPhone 4s.

Marware or case-mate is a nice holster. The Marware will also accept a thin case in it, the casemate , not really. As far as protecting the camera lens, I don't think you would want to cover it, even with a clear film, for picture quality. I like the bumper style cases. I have a few and I like the griffin frame case. It is for the AT&T iPhone 4, but it fits the 4S also (barely).

Do they black or smoke?

I got the Incase ultra thin case. Got it at staples, it's clear and can't see it. Not to mention has virtually no weight and doesn't add any bulk

Try Switch Easy. I have the nude and it is really thin. Comes with covers for the headphone jack and charging port.

I got the clear Case-Mate Barely There for $10 on buy.com. Hope it's not a rip-off off-brand, but I'll tell you how I like it when it comes in today, most likely.

There are three .35 mm cases that I know of:
Pinlo Slice 3
Desmay the Slight
Marware Membrane

The Marware one is available for preorder and for the Pinlo Slice 3 I think you have to get the Verizon iPhone 4 version because they don't have a 4s version yet. But Desmay is already available. I have one coming in this week. Right now I am using the Incipio Feather and I really like it but I can't wait for my Desmay the Slight to get here. I will also order a Marware Membrane this week.

Ended up doing matte clear ghost armor back and carbon fiber sides. Looks pretty awesome!
