Been looking for a sturdy case for my LGOG and I found the commuter case on the Otterbox website but no idea when it will be available. What is the opinion about the case? Anyone have a better solution?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I have been waiting for this case to be released before I buy this phone. I'm afraid of dropping it and shattering the glass.
First thing I should mention is that I'm not sure this case will fit the AT&T variant. There are different variants of this phone with slightly different dimensions so it's worth checking. Also, this case will cover the LED notification ring around the power connector. I have raised this issue with the manufacturer but I doubt they will do anything about it. I suggested using a clear silicone around the power button but I will probably just poke a few holes around the power button of the silicone case if I really feel like I need to see the notification LED. If you inquire about whether or not it will work with the AT&T variant I would be interested to hear their response.
Best of luck!
Honestly, I'll be happy if it fits the AT&T version. That seems to be the odd man out when it comes to cases.
That seems to be the main issue, the fit. I've had an HTC Aria for three years before I upgraded to this mini tablet monstrosity, I have an irrational fear of dropping it and it's a bit awkward trying to use it one handed. I almost considered buying the ridiculously expensive AT&T plastic frame. My primary concern is this massive screen will be its Achilles. Anyone have a a close call with it yet? I mean I have dropped it from about three feet on to carpet but I'd like to hear about real life drop tests. Also I know the screen is hard to scratch but what about the back? Would a frame type case serve to protect the screen and back better? Pros and cons to a screen protector or privacy shield? It seems like an exotic phone or something with the locked bootloader I guess it's not the most popular amongst the devs. Any and all input and thoughts are openly appreciated.

Dropped mine from about 2 feet up off the bed onto a hardwood floor. Landed on the backside. No visible damage under a bright light. I don't use any case or protector.
I hope the commuter comes out soon. I'm tired of worrying about dropping this beauty. This phone is a little slippery. I haven't peeled off the back film yet either, maybe I never will. I'll be pretty disappointed if the one coming out is the sprint version only. Hopefully they're making both versions right now. I really wish all variants were the same like the gs3. Then we could get all accessories without issues. Unfortunately, at&t is the odd man out.

Add another on the wait list. I love the feel of this phone but it is a bit slick.
So far the Belkin saved my phone from a 3 foot drop on pavement with just a few nicks in the case.

I gave up and bought then Body Glove case since there's nothing else out there I've seen yet for it that's good. I ordered a cheap TPU case off of EBay, but that didn't quite fit so I wasted $4. And, since both Seidio and Trident case have responded to my email inquiries that they haven't any plans to make cases for the ATT OG, I'm more than a little bummed that I may not find anything better if the Otterbox doesn't fit my new toy.

Yeah it sux. If only lg made the same variant for all the carriers. But no, at&t has to be different. I'd like to think it's different because of the micro sd slot. But it's hard for me to believe they couldn't pull it off with the same dimensions. I actually like the sprint model better since its a little skinnier and easier to hold. But regardless, I love this phone. Lets just hope otterbox comes through.

I talked to customer service today about which version they're coming out with. The girl didn't even know that the dimensions were different between att and sprint. She couldn't tell me if they're making both versions. She just said sign up for the email notification. Oh well, I got my fingers crossed.

Yeah I saw the bodyglove case at the att store but I don't like the colors. I like the gray outer case but the inner silicone case colors are ugly to me. Orange, purple, blue, pink, but no black. Wtf. Gray with black silicone is perfect IMO. But that's just my taste.

Yes, I have been checking that. Specifically, I'm looking for a dual layer case with a soft silicone inner shell and a hard silicone outer shell. Otterbox and Casemate are the only companies I know of that do this. Casemate doesn't have an LGOG case and Otterbox is uncertain whether or not they will fit the AT&T variant.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks they are ugly. I have had the same TPU smoke case on 2 phones (same case, different versions). I was so glad to see it for the LGOG. It should come 2mro. If it fits ill update my thread. Based on the other 2 cases, I would highly recommend it. My fingers are crossed big time.

Over the years, I've grown to love the Seidio cases. My new Photon arrives on Monday and I'm not happy that Seidio has not made an Active Case/Holster combo for it yet.
Anyone using a good case & holster that you recommend? I'll probably start with the case & holster Sprint carries until I find something better. I have contacted Seidio and they said they will have cases soon but could not give a release date.
I'm in the exact same boat as you. Bestbuy sells the session cases under another name as well. Anyways seidio makes the best cases in my opinion. I emailed them as well last week and was told that they'd have them soon.

When you said "session" cases, did you mean Seidio or is that another company?
I really hope Seidio releases the Active Case and Desktop Charging Cradle soon! My 3VO looks phenomenal with its Active case.
How about both of us keep our fingers crossed!
I too, asked Seidio about it a few weeks ago. Maybe I'll drop 'em another Twitter hint to show that there's demand... ;-)

I also use Seidio. I'm using a TPU until they get some cases made.
The TPU cases look awesome but I need a belt clip and they don't come with one. Therefore, I bought the Sprint case w/ holster to tide me over until Seidio releases the Active case for the Photon.

True, but I'm glad they're making progress!
you can fit the photon in a evo clip holster. i use it daily i bought the motorola clip w/case one from sprint. their holster blows though the case works
If anyone is interested, Siedio says they are making the Convert case for the Photon but no idea on ETA.
I bought the official sprint case/holster, and found out it fits perfectly into the seidio Thunderbolt holster at Bestbuy using the sprint case. It feels very secure, no slop at all like when I tried the photon in the evo and other holsters. You are essentially buying 2 different holsters and piecing them together but it's a perfect fit. I'm still looking forward to the official seidio holster so i don't need a condom on my phone at all.

Seidio's are wack man, I had and active case for evo 4g and corners would break off every few weeks and seidio had the worst warranty ever, what a waste. Stick with otterbox commuter case its looks sweet, protects the best and not fat.
Whomever makes a Active/Commuter style case that actually fits in the MoPho Car Dock will definitely win this. It's probably a good thing Seidio waited a little bit, if they can accomplish this little feat......they're golden!!

I definitely has problems with the Seidio case for the Palm Pre. The tabs broke off repeatedly but the Pre's shape made it difficult for anyone to build a good case with a small footprint. Conversely, the Seidio's Active case for my 3VO is the AWESOME!!! If they make an Active case just as good as my 3VO's, I'll be a very happy camper!
I've had my first otterbox defender ever with this evo 3d and though I love the protection, I'm beyond annoyed with the rubber outer layer stretching so it doesn't fit right. I'm already on my second outer layer (they replaced it for me 2 or 3 weeks ago and its already out of shape).
Anything else someone recommends? I don't like the ballistic case btw, looks too bulky compared to otterbox.

no i plan on trying one out tho. i had one for the evo 4g, and never had problems with stretching.
I'd like to try the Kraken. If you get it, would you mind providing a little review? I emailed Otterbox about the replacement even stretching and see what they say before I make any additional purchases. Amazon has the Kraken for about $10 cheaper btw - just looked. but they only have a handful left... I hate when they do that, makes you feel like its now or never.

I've heard some bad reviews on the Kraken II for the Evo 3D. I decided on ordering the Cyclops II for the Evo 3D, I've heard nothing but good things. Ballistic Cases are another great option.

Thanks. I have been doing some research on the Kraken II too and getting more and more discouraged. I'll look at the Cyclops II and maybe Ballistic.
Otterbox offered to send me 2 replacements this time. I also asked why it is doing this and how I can prevent/minimize it but they ignored that part. I suppose I'll take the replacements, but I don't think I'm going to stick with Otterbox because of this issue. Just still don't know what else to get.

How about warping or stretching? Solid there?
Seidio's is nice. No stretching. I have extended battery so its bulky.

Thanks. which seidio? I'm eyeing the Active with kickstand. I think I did read they they were pretty easily warped by the camera button, but I might have that mistaken with case mate.
EDIT: Thanks for the help, I just went ahead and ordered a seidio.
heres a case that i recently purchased and absolutely love. not as protective at otterboxes or ballistic cases but it survived many nightmarish drops and came out just fine, not a nick or scratch on the case even.the kickstand design is very solid and its made of the same reinforced plastic polymer as otters and ballistic, and it incorporates a hard tpu skin. overall a futuristic design for a futuristic looking phone lol. also a great price

Still using the otterbox defender, never had a problem with the silicone stretching. Only thing i can see doing that is constantly taking the rubber off and on.
I don't remove the rubber layer at all. But I just showed my brother yesterday the problem and asked if he had that issue. He also has the e3d and otterbox defender. He doesn't at all. But we compared his outer layer to mine and his is thicker. I don't know why ours are different.

The "silicone" mixture can be different, that's why they ask for the vendor code when you get them to send you a new one, I would think its very easy to revise the ingrediants to make it fit better or worse, I think putting in my pocket and taking it out stretched out the sides and made it fit a lil lose compared to a new one, my replacement defender fit totally better than my first one, however the same problem did occur over time, again... So I'm with you in the hunt to find that perfect case,

Well, I'm liking this Seidio Active kickstand case I ordered so far. Doesn't feel quite as durable as otterbox, but enough protection for me. The silicone feel thinner and softer than my otterbox's too so we'll see. At least it's mostly the inner layer that's silicone with the outer hard plastic so maybe it will be ok.

Bumping this thread back up. I had the same problem with my Otterbox Commuter, where the silicon was stretching out too. They even sent me a replacement and the same thing still happened. I got the pink/white 'strength' version if it made a difference. I never took the silicon off that often and the phone is carried in my purse mostly. So I didn't understand how the silicon can stretch out like that.
Thinking of emailing them to let them know of the issue, but I don't really want any more phone cases from them. I ended up getting a Casemate slim case which I love. I also got the Casemate equiv of the Commuter and the silicon they use is much stiffer and fits a lot snugger.
OP you mentioned they offered you 2 replacements. Is it replacements for the same phone case? Or cases for other devices?
So I've been reading around and it seems that a lot of people are having trouble finding a nice and fitted case. Now I came frome a cappy to the i777 and I wanted somthing that was like the bodyglove case for the captivate. I found a case on Amazon that I thought would fit the i777 just right. It came in yesterday and it fits perfectly! Everythingis cut out where its supposed to be, yes even the noise canceling mic on top. Its not thick and it keeps the phone slim. Has nice grip on the sides so it doesn't slip. Fits the phone perfect. All in all seems to be an awesome case. And its only like $9 with shipping! Good deal!

Is the case OP posted really rubbery or what? I'm looking for a slim case that doesn't stick in my pockets.
+ one more for the matte black TC case. Had it since a week after launch. Cut outs are all correct, (though I widened the usb and headphones cutouts with an xacto knife to fit aftermarket audio and usb plugs that I had - stock stuff fit fine with no mods) keeps the slim profile of the phone, and makes it fit my hand a little better, so less chance of drops.

I'm looking into the case that the OP mentioned. I found a five case deal on ebay coming from Hong Kong. I just got my phone (no case protection) and it'll pain me too much to see how long the shipping will take, it is free though.
I wonder if people are seeing good results on all of these cheap cases from ebay, by that I mean after a few months of use.
Question, OP
I'm coming from a Cappy with the excellent Body Glove TPU case. It was the best case I've ever had for a phone, and I was wondering if the case OP posted is flexible TPU, or hard, rigid plastic that can't be flexed. I wonder this because I need access to the back sd card and battery often, and the material of the case determines if I buy it or not.
Thanks for any answers to my question.

if you get any case with black silicone (trident, case-mate, otterbox, incipio, etc), the lint will be obviously visible. you can remedy that by getting a colored one

Good advice, and I'll remember that next time. I actually returned the Case-mate today because of that black silicone layer collecting dust...I'm a little OCD when it comes to dust on my phone.

Definitely an awesome case. Am using the Matte Black version.
Cost is real good, and doesn't make the phone look bulky at all, easily slips in and out of the pocket
You may initially feel that since there is no volume rocker cut-out it would be difficult to use (some video reviews also show that), but trust me it does not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, the divided volume rocker on the case actually has a nice feel to it.
Checkout this portion of a video, should give you a fair idea
Link: HTC Amaze 4G Diztronic Matte TPU Case
just ordered mine
Yeah I was looking for a TPU case, I liked my red sensation case much that I didn't want any kid of material, I bought the matte black as well, I was considering the smoke glass matte translucent case but I didn't know if I was going to like the color scheme over the white amaze, anyway, I watched the video and too bad they didn't have any colors, oh well the case looks great though can't wait to get it in the mail, anyone have the smoked glass one over a white amaze? Let me know what you think
I have a case from body glove that I absolutely love. It has a built in kickstand too which is a plus for watching media, got it pretty cheap from the tmobile store.

Just ordered the case-mate tough case.
$28 after 20% off with '4MOM' code.
I had a hard time deciding between this one and the trident aegis case, but decided the extra $8 is worth the peace of mind of knowing the three pin holes around the camera aren't blocked and I think this case looks a bit slimmer. There isn't much information out there for the Amaze version, but the Sensation tough case is well reviewed. So I am hoping the Amaze one will be the same.
Will post some pictures when the case gets here.

Be sure to put your review on here for the Case Mate Tough. With pics!
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
I've noticed something that is bothering me about my S4. Absolutely no cases fit my device properly. It seems all the cases I have, the left side of the case doesn't fit properly. When I snap a case on, the left side of the case sits noticeably farther away from the screen than the right. My diztronic case, the left side practically falls off the phone. Is my phone warped? Has anyone else noticed this? This is common across all cases for me.

I just received a Spigen Slim Armor. It fits it very well.

I think you may have a defective unit that was missed during quality control. I have used and reviewed the diztronic case and had no problems with fitting whatsoever. I have also had no other problems with slim snap on cases as well.
I suggest bringing it into Verizon and seeing if they can swap it out for you... if they deny that there is a problem with the phone, bring in your case and plop it onto another one if you can to show them the fitting difference.

Yea I've had three different cases. First was a designer case that fit fairly snugly, the second was the commuter otterbox which was nearly perfect except the rubber rim guard didn't fully cover the glastr screen protector from Spigen. So I purchased the infinity white slim Armor from Spigen and this case currently fits absolutely perfect. I would definitely suggest taking the phone in for a swap. Think of it as an excuse to drop back down to MDK if you're one of us who accidentally took ME7....

+1 Slim Armor
Incipio makes a great case. Fits well with both a hard and soft shell.
Yeah I had one like that one side of the front of the phone was longer then the other. My ocd would go crazy lucky there were other issues and I got it replaced the new phone is much better.

I have the Spigen Slim Armor in black and love it. Great S-View window, full protection on all sides. Well worth the money.

I'm leaning towards a defect. The same fitment issue is across all cases. How do I take my concern to VZW without them thinking I'm just being picky?

That would be due to the metal construction of the case. It's not insulated to keep from interfering with the radio's.

Is there a way to insulate it...???

Not really, it needs to be part of the case design. Whoever came up with this case should take it back its not acceptable to sell something that is all about bling and no signal.

I've considered the slim Armor view from Spigen. Can I buy that part separately? I already have the slim Armor in infinity white.

I don't think so. You can however buy replacement backplates to convert the slim armor view into a slim armor but I don't think there is an alternative option. I would send them a message and ask if they do plan to offer it at some point.
