Can someone please tell me if this case is supposed to make the phone thicker (NOT including the flip cover part)? Bought 2 which I think are fake.

I personally don't think so. The phone was as unprotected with it on as it was when it was off. I found a really great combination of a protective case with a sturdy leather case at one of those center mall vendors.

The case works beautiful for me. It's not a hard case but just a protection for you screen For me it's stylish. love it

No, it shouldn't make it thick. Not sure of what you consider thick, but it's not bulky or anything like that

It shouldnt and it doesnt make the phone thicker as the back case of your phone has to be removed to put the case on. The case comes with the back case which is attched to the flip which is very thin for screen. I love it. And it protects nicely.

I got this for my son. He LOVES it and it does work and protect his phone.A little heavy to me but he does not seem to care. As far as genuine, not sure about that. I believe so, my son has not said otherwise.

The one I received was in fact a real OtterBox case. Hope this helps you decide!

No, the flip cover makes the phone to thick to fit the charger. I haven't used this for anything other than charging an extended battery so I can't answer the second question.

Not really. It adds a little bulk to the phone which I like. If you want thin, try a different brand.

This is my daughters phone but I have played with her phone a bit. I say yes it is. It's a really nice cover and I feel like it's made quite well. When it's on it doesn't feel flimsy at all. I feel like it gives decent protection too. I bought a similar case for my Motorola Maxx but decided to use the one I got from Incipio instead. I just felt like the Incipio one gave just a bit more protection because it's actually a two piece cover. Good luck whatever you do. thanks

I have the same phone and the case fit very very poorly. I do think know if it was poorly made or the dimensions were wrong. I wouldn't buy this case. I returned mine and bough one from a Verizon store. I paid more, but it fit and is better quality.

I can only speak for my personal dealings with this specific seller, and my experience is that the flip cover received was the actual Samsung flip cover, in the actual Samsung package, brand new without blemish or flaw, for 1/3rd the price. Whether or not they always have this particular Samsung case, I couldn't say. From the reviews that you are speaking of, to which up until now I have been ignorant to, it seems that they may be one of those "hit or miss" sellers; if they have the Samsung, you get it, if not, you get an aftermarket piece. In my opinion, based on my experience, I would go for it.

The case is not very wide or thick at all. It does not change the natural feeling of the phone. I think it's a great case.

The case barely changes the weight of the phone, it's very thin and doesn't add any bulk at all. And it will protect your case from minor falls. I was thinking just like you when I bought this case, wanted something to at least get the job done without feeling like I had a brick in my pocket, and this case does that job. Hope I answered your question!

Not sure what you are asking but the case is very thin all the way around. The phone is already very thin and this case does not add much more to the thickness or the width.

Jennifer, in what way is the case not fitting? There should only be one model for this phone. It snaps on pretty tight, but fits snugly. How is it not working for you?

The case is nice and thick so your phone should be fine. I've dropped mine with it on once and there was no issue :)

No it's not! It's a fake one and can't even get it to fit the phone with out it pressing the volume button the whole time it's on

The battery is about 2x thicker than the original battery. That is why they send the new back cover with the purchase of this battery. The original back cover will no longer cover the thickness of the battery. HOWEVER, if you like the phone at all, you will LOVE the additional time the battery gives you. There have been times when I've not used my phone heavily, and been able to go two full days & nights with out recharging. There were times with the original battery that I had trouble making it to the end of the first day... They should have provided a battery of this strenght from the start! I love mine!

No it wont glide and I don't know about the thickness I mean it does add a little bulk but any case will do that, at least any case that's worth having on your phone to protect it. This one is very stylish some people told me that they thought it was part of the phone.

For me, I didn't feel the need to get thicker cases as others have mentioned. If you are in rough environments, or are a bit of a klutz, those cases make sense. If you are fairly careful, you can use a smaller one. I chose Super Purple Hard Case Cover Premium Protector for LG Optimus F3 LS720 VM720 (by Virgin Mobile / Sprint) with Free Gift Reliable Accessory Pen . I've had similar cases on other Android phones, and they've done the job for me.
