Although you consider it slim, it is bulky no matter what, but that doesn't bother me as much as the fact that I have had it for a month and the plastic cover on the screen and the back have been excessively damaged to the point of being unattractive and dull. The back was damaged by the string that comes with the case, so imagine how silly the material is to cause this damage, and in front of the pocket where it touched for an hour while I was working with a flat piece of VHF hook.
