This work continues developing the line of asymptotically sharp geometric rigidity estimates in thin domains. A thin domain $\Omega$ in space is roughly speaking a shell with non-constant thickness around a regular enough two dimensional compact surface. We prove a sharp geometric rigidity interpolation inequality that permits one to bound the $L^p$ distance of the gradient of a $u\in W^{1,p}$ field from any constant proper rotation $R$, in terms of the average $L^p$ distance (nonlinear strain) of the gradient from the rotation group, and the average $L^p$ distance of the field itself from the set of rigid motions corresponding to the rotation $R$. There are several remarkable facts about the estimate: 1. The constants in the estimate are sharp in terms of the domain thickness scaling for any thin Lipschitz domains. 2. For the main domain mid-surface curvature situations, the inequality reduces the problem of estimating the gradient $\nabla u$ in terms of the nonlinear strain $\int_\Omega\mathrm{dist}^p(\nabla u(x),SO(3))dx$ to the easier problem of estimating only the vector field $u$ in terms of the nonlinear strain without any loss in the constant scalings as the Ans\"atze suggest. The later will be a geometric rigidity-Poincar\'e type estimate, and that passage is evidently a significant reduction of the problem complexity. This being said, our new interpolation inequality reduces the problem of proving "any" geometric one well rigidity problem in thin domains to estimating the vector field itself instead of the gradient, thus reducing the complexity of the problem.
