It frustrates me that so many case manufacturers don't bother to list the weight of their cases on their sales pages.

I requested the weight of cases from Speck and got the reply "they only weigh a few grams" hmmm OK, how few ? (Won't be buying a Speck case this time :mad:)

Weight matters to me most when choosing a case so I would love to get recommendations on light cases (<20 grams ?) for the 15 phone.

Following!
I have come across skinny cases in the past. However some don’t have edge protection, or the edge protection isn’t tall enough to clear the screen protector which ends up breaking pre-maturely.

Take a look at spigen. On their website they give the weight of each case. I wish every manufacturer did that.

good old Spigen, I do like their cases and may just fallback on them again but would love some options, I bought the 15 instead of the 15Pro just to save the weight so I really want to keep the whole package light

Their Thin Fit for the 15 only weighs .9oz, and the Liquid Crystal is 1.0oz. Both are pretty lite cases, depending on if you want a clear case or not.

The Torras Super Thin Ultra Light case is exactly 20grams according to their website.
