I'm not sure but probably not the rhinoskin.

I would bet the Innopocket is. I have used the Rhinoskin and the Sena, and the Sena is slightly smaller.

I think the Innopocket is the one that "looks" the thinnest.
I own an Innopocket and a RhinoSkin, and for some reason, the RhinoSkin feels like it's more bulky, more thick. When you look closely, it's almost the same though

I just got the Innopocket. After a fair amount of research I think it is the strongest / toughest / lightest / thinnest. I can't imagine getting one much thinner and getting any protection out of it. The myriad of posts re: Innopocket Mag quality made me nervous but they seem to have resolved those issues.
My only complaint was the shipping cost. I opted for FedEx. Innopocket charged $17 US & FedEx charged a COD fee of $14.
Look for the Axim discount if you are ordering

Having both, I broke out my caliper and measured. The most deepest part on the Rhino is at the protruding area where the screw-on belt clip goes. It's roughly 1.035 inches. Another spot is a little over 1.010 at a "rib" stiffener near the middle bottom. The rest is slightly under 1.0 inches.

The Innopocket is pretty much well under 1.0 (0.090 or so) throughout the body, except the hinge at the top of the case. It's depth is approximately 1.041 inches, making it technically the thickest case.

Edit: Typo on a dimension

Is this correct?
Thickness: InnoPocket Magnesium Case < Sena Case < Rhino Skin < Belkin Executive Case

or any comparison photo?

The innopocket seems thinner, the rhino is fine too. They both fit into my short pockets just fine...the fit of the Mag case is much better than the Rhino IMO.

I agree. I like the fit of the Innopocket much better than the Rhino. I had a Rhino and had it in my back pocket. I'd hear occasional squeaks and the dreaded "pop" sound as the front cover would shift and overlap the back portion at the upper left corner.

The Innopocket can't do this because of the design. People need to keep an eye on their D-pad's though, because I know the InnoPocket is touching it slightly (even if it's not pressing it enough to activate it).
