Thinnest and Grippiest iPhone Duo Cases (Weights and Thickness)
Last updated . We have not tested these cases ourselves. Findings come from the reviewers linked on each point.
Thin cases keep the Duo feeling like the Duo; grippy ones keep it in your hand. Very few makers publish thickness, so the table below sticks to numbers we could source: case-tester.com's scale where possible, the maker's spec otherwise (labeled).

The trade-off
The thinnest cases protect the least. Thinborne itself says its case isn't rugged-case protection, and case-tester.com says the PITAKA protects little beyond the camera. If drops worry you more than bulk, see the rugged guide. For more slim listings, see What are the slimmest iPhone Duo cases?
