I posted this before. Gave quite a bit of detail into what I wanted. Thread is gone... I know there has been lot of discussion on cases. People probably feel it's been talk about to death. I've already read everything through (on multiple forums plus tons of review sites. Many of which I swear are paid). Or else I wouldn't have posted. Not what I want. Seems like the best cases are for Iphones or Samsungs *grumble*. Plus people seem to post stuff like "Uh I'm not sure because I've only ever had one case but I like it la de da da!" I don't find that helpful.

Needs to be very strong (I mean better than Otterbox) because I've already cracked the screen and it's going to cost me $250 to replace it. Needs a good screen protector. FYI I have a case. Obliq Skyline Advance. Too slippery and because of the curve of the screen there is no protection especially if you drop it on the top part like I did. My G4 had no issues because it was flat. If I dropped it from any angle, including face down and my case (Tech21) kept the screen from touching the ground.

Take a look at HandheldItems.Com, and search for the Valkyrie line of flip cases.

The cover is magnetic and snaps shut over the screen. There are no windows in this case.

Price and delivery can't be beat.


Site has horrible reviews. People getting scammed. Lost shipments. Sending wrong items. Refusal to give money back. Reviews on the case aren't great. Supposedly it falls apart. I said I wanted the best protection. Plus I'm not interested in having it demagnetize my cards like many reviewers are saying. Thanks anyway.

I just got my G5 a week ago and first thing I did was order an ottberbox defender case on amazon. That is all I have ever used on my smart phones and they work well for me. I find the defender series rugged and sturdy but I am not hard on my phones either and try and be careful. I like that they have a built in screen protector and I have never had my screen crack using an otterbox defender case. I always order my cases from amazon as it's so much cheaper than buying it at the store when I get the phone. Got my favorite pink color and it was only $20 plus shipping brand new so a big savings. I hear the lifeproof cases are good also. I have no clue what's out there that is better than otterbox and lifeproof. All my friends use one or the other and find them rugged so that's what I went by all these years. I hope you find something that works for you. This is what I got and it seems like good protection for my needs. Mary
