So I see that Amazon now has more cases listed. Most of 'em are gaudy (at lease in my opinion) and not what I'd put on my phone. However, there are some Skinomi cases that look interesting. I've never had one, so I have no idea how they work. Does it just protect the front and back? Is there wrap around protection for the sides?

Here is the one I kind of like and am interested in: Amazon.com: Skinomi TechSkin - LG Spirit 4G Screen Protector Ultra Clear Shield + Brushed Steel Full Body Protective Skin + Lifetime Warranty: Cell Phones & Accessories

I'm also considering getting that case but not sure if it will make the phone seem too bulky and thick. I looks very appealing though, and the price is great.

That's my main concern too. I think I'm going to bite the bullet and get it, however. I just wonder if it looks as good in person as it does in the pic.

I'll go ahead and order one (black/white) and I'll you know how bulky it makes the phone and if it really offers any legitimate protection.

I got this one for the Esteem. its big thick and bulky, its like carrying around a brick inside a rubber tire. but it gives awesome protection and the media stand works great;)

Thanks for the feedback. I'm hoping it won't be that bulky because it seems the Esteem was bulky to begin with. I want some legitimate protection for my phone.

I ordered it and it should be on its way. I'll let you guys know how well it fits.

I got one like this when I bought my phone today (it was the last one the store had). I just switched from Virgin Mobile after about a week of not getting texts. I've had the phone about 10 hours and surprisingly haven't dropped it yet. Love the case because of the size and the rubber. I wouldn't have left the store without the case once I actually had the phone in my hands. With a case it's about the same thickness as my BF's Photon.

It's about $4 cheaper on eBay but I didn't want to wait for a case. :D

Finally... The case I've been waiting for, for the Spirit. I love it because it's very thin and doesn't completely hide the phone. On my S3 it's sooooo thin and only has side edges for better grip with open buttons.

Metro PCS Lg Spirit 4G Black Soft Touch Shield OEM AUTHENTIC HIGH END PHONE CASE

Can't wait to receive it. :D

Yeah me neither! I just got the last one. :D There is a generic one similar for a few bucks less but this one looks better fitted to the Spirit, plus it was about 1/2 the price as the same one in the store. Deal.

Haha... I made sure to order mine first before posting it here. Glad you got it before they were all gone. ;)

P.S.
If I find more I'll update the link for anyone that likes this case.

If its anything like the metropcs branded holster case and screen protector combo i bought from ebay youll like it. Adds a nice feel to the phone without adding too much bulk, and fits very snug.
