Lack of cases for Zenfone 8

[DocR]

Zenfone 8 has attracted limited amount of case suppliers, almost none out there.
Anyone found an aramid case or thin cases?

Generally case makers make cases for popular phones
Rhinoshield is one of the only bigger ones which have cases for Zenfones and Rog as Asus officially partners with them
So about Zenfone 8 depends how many big case makers get interested, Zenfone 8 popularity and market reception is higher than the recent previous gen models tho so hopefully it gets better treatment by aftermarket accessory sellers

Rhinoshield is way to thick, looking for thin cases that don't add to much bulk

Yeah it's thick that case is primarily made for protection and sustaining impacts shocks

This. The phone by itself is chunky, it's ok with the included case, but with the rhinoshiled, it's just a bit too thick, bit nothing unusable.

I would be happy if Spigen made a case, but they say they don't have any plans for zenfone 8.

Kinda amusing that you mention chunky tho lol,I mean Zenfone 8 weighs around 170gms and for the specs it carries that's on the lower side
Now imagine Rog phone owners with 240gm phones + 30-40 gm cases 😅

I think that in my case "chunky" refers to the size of the bezel+case edges when in the rhinoshield. But i guess that's what you get with current smartphone design. I don't mind the weight.
