Where are the cases?

Merged all the cases threads.

Just to add some caution, I was a big fan of the feather until Monday evening when I dropped my phone as I was getting out of my car. It landed on the top (not the screen, but the top, where the noise cancelling mic is) where there is no protection and shattered the screen. So you understand, I am a short person (5'5") and my car is a lowered is300 so at most the phone dropped 2.5 ft.

The crack rendered my phone unusable... And right now a replacement screen is $150 so I ended up getting an insurance replacement.

I now highly recommend a little more case personally, but its your choice obviously... Just sharing my experience for the benefit of others.

How does anyone think a thin little plastic case will protect anything? Especially if the screen is not covered in some way.

I am planning to remove the case (diztronic) and just go naked and buy a sleeve/pouch kind of a thing. The phone feels so much better without a case, it's almost like a totally another phone, it's a shame any kind of case adds bulk and ruins the great near-bezelless look. I just wish the back of G2 was not as slippery or we could swap the back covers..

Anyone come across a "MOPHIE STYLE" charging case?

Sadly, yes... that would be my bad.

I'm thinking friction tape on the back. This phone is way too slippery.

That's extreme. LOL.
Also I want to be able slide in and out of pouch that I am planning to buy. At least something like rubbery back would be nice, have you ever felt Blackberry Z10's back? That is probably the best material. It mimics soft back but hard.

bberryhill0 · Dec 18, 2013

Much better. One strip of friction tape and the phone doesn't feel like a watermelon seed and it still works with my pouch.

Do you have any pictures of what it looks like?

Wow, thanks for the pictures but I don't think I could do that to my G2.

bberryhill0 · Dec 18, 2013

Pretty butt ugly but I don't look at the back of my phone. Sure makes it feel more secure. A custom rubberized stick on would probably make money. Something like those stick on bathtub traction things. Hmmm....

Lol, bathtub traction thingy.

I was thinking about getting a full body skin, but I just read it won't be any less slippery, so I skipped.

That's about as ghetto as it gets. But in all seriousness that's not a terrible idea. I'm sure many people have that same problem and that's about as easy of a fix as it gets

bberryhill0 · Dec 18, 2013

So where do you source custom stickies? I'd buy one.

bberryhill0 · Dec 19, 2013

I modified my friction tape. Added a strip on the other side and moved them out to go around the sides. I have a line on a custom version.

Picked up a similar item to this,from BEST BUY,sans the kickstand:

Seidio PT Holster for LG G2 Cell Phones PT-LGG2H2B - Best Buy

Strange enough on two counts:
1) A search @ BEST BUY's website renders no results for the case.

2) This was an open box,normally $34.95.I managed to get it for $15 since no one at the store could remove it once I tried it out (w/o damaging the phone or case).

Luckily,I like this case enough to use as a daily driver,& will keep me from my usual nasty habit of buying an excessive number of cases for my phone.

KOLIO, that's one way to get a discount (I guess). Put your phone in a case, and tell them you don't really want it? Slick.

Also if you can't remove the device, you aren't going to be swapping cases often are you?

I was just looking around, got a couple TPU cases on the way from AMAZON & e-Bay.
Only reason I tried it on it was already an OPEN-BOX item, w/the top cap to the packaging missing. They (BEST BUY) weren't gonna get top-dollar for it anyway.

I've still yet to remove this case. Just gonna leave as-is until the TPU cases arrive. By that time, I'm certain I'll have figured out a way to remove the case w/o causing damage to it or the phone.

More than likely, I'll just leave it alone. This case has a NEXUS 5/7 finish, which shoulda been what was on the G2, instead of the slick fingerprint magnet finish that LG opted for.

I have been using seidio cases for years. They have a really tight fit but will not break when removing. They are pretty hard to come off but they will..

Speaking of seidio cases, does anyone know if the will be making one for the Verizon G2?

I think this one will fit both, as the packaging doesn't distinguish between the two U.S. variations (VZW vs all others) & the cutout is a bit oversized in length & width on my phone.

Assuming all the ports/mics/jack are the same, I'd bet this will fit the VZW variant.

Wouldn't this theory apply to all cases as well. Like any non Verizon version case should fit the Verizon g2 because the only difference Is the thickness of the back buttons

bberryhill0 · Dec 23, 2013

Pretty much but I think the Verizon version of the phone is a hair thicker because of the wireless charging.

Seidio website does.
