i recently replaced my screen protector that came in the package with my tilt 2, with one of the zagg universal screen protectors and absolutely hate how it feels like im running my finger across a rubber surface where as the original one was more of a plastic style screen.
so my question is does anyone know where i can find more of the stock screen protectors?
cost
how much it cost ?
its like $25 for 2. but they feel all rubbery, the plastic style one (which is what im looking for) is usually cheaper and are smoother operating wise than the rubbery ass ones.
Looking for same one
I tried a few different suppliers either through Amazon or eBay and they all are the rubbery stuff you're talking about. Over a year ago, I managed to get an OEM screen protector made of that stiff, slick plastic from a friend who bought a new Tilt 2 but returned it. Can't find them, but if anyone knows where I can pick a few up, I'd probably pay a premium for it.
actually there is a ton of the hard pastic ones on ebay. However none i tried are as good as my oem one i had. Wish i woulda just left it till it got real bad lol. These new ones you can see scratches in them and they get dull in spots nor do they come out completely air pocket free. No matter how clean you get the screen. Pisses me off!
My Atrix has become a scratch magnet so i need to get a good case and I cant decide which one to get
so which case should i get?
I need a case that will completely protect my phone from scratches and falls, yet also allow me to use a dock, and not be to heavy at the same time
so far these are the ones that i think will work just need anyone's advice as to which one to get...

If anyone knows of a better case to get could you please post a link...preferably to ebay or amazon
Thank you to anyone who is willing to help
I got this one at Radio Shack and so far I like it. Seems to give the phone a little protection and does not add too much to the phone. It was only about $9.00.
Incipio MT-106 Feather Case for Motorola Atrix 4G - Matte Black
I have the speck case. Very durable and even dropped my phone from about five feet high landing on the corner of the case on the edge of my metal bedframe. The case has a little dent where that happened but nothing happened to the phone. Doesnt fit very well in the dock but is extremely easy to take on and off.
you should think about getting a new back cover (i believe they come in green or blue) and then just putting a high quality screen protector on your phone. the scratch issue is gone, the phone still fits in the dock, and the screen is decently protected.
this may help:

I would recommend the Seidio Active case from www.seidioonline.com if you dont like bulk but want decent protection. I own that case in Sapphire Blue and love it. I'm currently using my Ballistic HC series case, which is the BEST protection you can possibly get for the Atrix. Beats the otterbox defender hands down.

it looks pretty cool i just ordered mine!
i'm probably going to order me a case from Trident, this one looks so cool!

I USE THIS ONE ALL BLACK http://www.amazon.com/Black-Hybrid-R...7828950&sr=8-3
I'm definitely gonna buy a new back cover - http://cnn.cn/shop/motorola-mb860-atrix-blue-silicone-case-p-11666.html and most probably also the seido case - http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3MT..._1_5?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1317897936&sr=1-5
just a couple of more questions:
Will the seido case work with the docking station?
Which screen protector should i get as well?
Personally I just bought an oem battery door from ebay and it fits perfect, with less creaking than my old one. Plus I purchased a tpu case from ebay also, I always go with these tpu cases as they are lightweight and protect from major falls. Dropped my inc-s which had one from about 4 feet onto concrete and not a single mark was left on the phone. Hope this helps.
Sorry if I sounds like an idiot, kinda new to posting
I still prefer the old flip leather case I used with my HTCs with windows mobile. Good times...

To be honest, I love the aesthetics of this case; however, I dislike it very much right now.
I recently dropped my phone as I was getting out of my car. It's not a high car. I saw the phone hit the ground, the case flew off, and then my phone hit the ground again.
Now, my once pristine phone has deep scratches on all 4 corners.
Sad times.

New dilemma
Ok now after all of my case searching these are the two choices that i have:
An Incipio Feather Case and Zagg Screen Protector
or
An Incipio SILICRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core
Which one should i get now?
btw i couldnt get what i said i was getting before cause they do not deliver to Pakistan but Incipio and Zagg do from their official websites
get the Otterbox Commuter
Dont really like the Otterbox commuter...what about the two cases that i stated before? Which one of those should i get?
Pwersonally, I would go for the 'Clear Protector' instead of Zagg... I have tried both and found the 'clear' a smarter fit.
As for the cover, it is up to you. Trial and erorr no doubt. I have the mesh cover which fits well (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/new-Hard-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item53e8938ff1) and provides protection.
I prefer Martin Fields than Zagg. They seem comparable in protection but Martin Fields has no orange peel yet has anti glare and also A LOT easier to 'install' on your phone.
I just got my atrix but i dont like the plastic cover. I had desire to this point and i am looking for a case which has that kind of feel like desire.
I would really appreciate any help
What are you guys/gals using to protect your P769?
I am looking for a Gel/TPU and/or an ultra thin snap on back, like casemate barely there or incipio feather type..
I am surprised there aren't any of the popular Korean brands..
well im using the 100% leather handmade in Korea white coloured flip case that i got free with my lg l9.( the same had cost 6-8$ and of cheap build) and it protects my phone quite well..also our phone is soo slick and backcover soo much eager to be breakable.i think its the best protection till now..
This is what i'm rocking, LG OPTIMUS L9 P769 CASE BLACK HYBRID KICKSTAND ARMOR SKIN COVER
It's a bit bulky, but hey the cells not going to mess up if you drop it. it's two parts, a gel and a hard case (the kickstand) goes over it.
Mine has been naked lately. The gel case I bought on amazon obstructed the edges of the screen making games and stuff hard.

I usually like Pleomax or Mercury Pearl Gel/candy/TPU. Lately though most of these have too much lip and cause the edges of wet application screen protectors bubble/curl and lift it..
I ordered this one yesterday; http://www.ebay.com/itm/171015823911
I am seriously looking at this and it's color variations. Love them on the AU/Sony Xperia, japanese quaility/versions.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251207382725
didnt any of u guys got the free cover...its like a hard case that fits from the back cover side( makes the phone feel like a rock) and a really high quality leather casing glued tp it from the back..which covers the 4.7 inch screen qiute well..if u want i may add photos..
I am using the kickstand as well! definitely bulky, but love the kickstand!!

So I installed this one today, fits well tight, cut outs perfect.Solid feel, adds lip to screen, but isn't "really" curling my screen protector. I can compare it's stiffness and feel to a diztronic tpu.
It's slim, but still not as slim as I would like. I prefer the lip were less or it had none. It's good for people that place the phone face down I suppose. I just like the gel/candy/tpu or hard snapon back just for scratches mainly..
I will be ordering some of the other candy/gel/tpu and chiming in as I get them.
I have been using a Hybrid case since i purchased my phone (P769)
This case is different and better looking than the one mentioned earlier. (IMO)
I own both a white one and black one. It has a kickstand as well. I have dropped my phone about 3 or 4 times and my phone has not received any damage what so ever! (Twice on concrete/pavement after stepping out my car, once in the bathroom tile floor and once on wood flooring)
Black one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300882491887?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
White one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181080485491?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Bought the white one first, but started turning yellowish after about 2 months of use. (Might not happen if you are a very clean person, but just like white T-Shirts it will turn ugly white/yellowish regardless. Purchased the black one and it's my daily driver. Highly recommend the black one and it's about half the price of the white one.
Pros: Silicon inner case is great for absorbing the shock if dropped. Outer hard plastic case makes it easy to put in and pull out off your pockets. Volume/Power buttons are silicon covered and give it a fantastic feel when pressed. The silicon cut-out around the 3.5 mm headphone jack is nice and wide which allows my car stereo cable to fit without obstructing the connection. (Common problem that i had with other phone cases on other phones i have owned)
Cons: Not much of a con, but only issue i had was with the silicon being a bit tight around the charger port (Solution: Started using OEM Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 micro usb cable that is way thinner than the original micro usb cable. Fits perfect! (I blame the bulky LG micro usb cable though)
Hit thanks if this helped in making your decision on what case to get.
The Body Glove case http://www.wirelessground.com/lg-optimus-l9-body-glove-elite-stand-case-black.html is by far the best case imo. It gives great protection and give u a unrestricted view of the screen plus it has a built in kickstand that works great in portrait and landscape mode. The majority of the retailers including T-Mobile have it for $30 but wirelessground.com has it for $17.95 plus you can use the "youtube" coupon code for an extra 10% off.

Love it.
Just ordered it tonight and will post pictures when I finally get it. That was my favorite case, with the standard battery, for my s4 when I had it. Slim, rubber inside, hard shell outside, rubber ribs for grip and anti slide on the back. It never interfered with a tempered glass screen protector, as long as you installed it perfectly centered in accordance with the edges of the frame, not the home button. It's on sale, this weekend, and I'm guessing until cyber Monday, for five dollars off and free shipping via USPS. http://www.speckproducts.com/smartphone-cases/samsung/candyshell-grip-for-samsung-galaxy-note-3.html
Nice find. I like Speck. They make quality stuff.

Never used a speck case before I like the design ..how does it. Compare to a uag or otterbox commuter in terms of size/protection?
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
It's similar to a UAG in terms of protection. One layer silicone inside lining, attached to the plastic exterior.
Different then a commuter with a wrap around silicone lining with a separate exterior hard lining
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
It's smaller than the commuter. When you install or remove it, the case is all one piece. The layers don't come off. Easy to put on or take off. Shouldn't need reaming mod for most headphones. Won't slide when placed on a surface back down. Good amount of lip protecting the screen and camera. The rubber layer is slightly harder density than rubber on otterbox.
Def glad to see it out for the Note3. I plan on ordering this when 12am hits for cyber monday from the Speck website. Just wish they had the white and black version like they usually do.
I had a Speck candyshell (non-grip) for the iPhone 5s and loved it. It was hot pink and white but it was only $5. Not digging the Spigen Neo Hybrid because its way to slippery for a phone this big. The issue I see here is that it's $40.
Edit: Speck has a holiday deal knocking the price down to $35.
Edit 2: The case is now $30 after 25% off.
I love my tech 21 for my note 3, but would be interested in the Speck. I like the candyshell over the Candyshell grip though
Looks like black is out of stock.

Glad I ordered mine before making this post. Hopefully I'll get it before Friday. I'll post pics when I get it. Lots of close ups so you all can see the details.
Previous reply was rejected. I'm not going to type out all that again. My pictures and a video turned out crappy and out of focus. Long story short. This case protects better than just tpu but less than otterbox defender. It's slender and fits snug. The same quality you can expect if you've ever owned a speck case before. Grip ribs help with sliding but won't make it an effort to get out of a pocket like a glossy tpu or silicone case. Quality of build and function I give it five out of five. It's not cheap but you get what you pay for. This case will definitely be my daily driver!

Tight fit!
They are better at excluding dust than any other case in my experience. If they used a plug to cover the USB/earphone jack openings they would be better than anything else out there for this kind of protection.
That's a good thing too as being harder to put on and take off means intrusive dust could potentially grind on the finish, etc.
Bad news for battery swappers though.
Protection is good, you can literally toss it at a brick wall repeatedly and not worry about damage or even the case coming off in between throws. The grip is also far better at not showing wear/scratches from sitting on tables, etc. like the normal version. The high gloss back of the normal version will reveal marring/scuffing of sitting on tables, countertops, etc. in relatively short order.
Bulk-wise they fall in between a minimalistic TPU (Diztronic, Bounce, Tudia, etc.) and UAG with protection on par with UAG.
Its asking price is fair for the quality received.
Just got mine today and fitment, quality, etc. is identical to past Speck products.
The buttons are covered, retain their clicky tactile feel and are no more difficult to depress than the naked phone! Fit is very snug, have not tried to take it off. It feels identical in hand to the candyshell grip that I use on my HTC one. It adds very little thickness, very similar to a TPU with far better drop protection. Even with a TPU I cringe if the phone slips, no worries here. Cutouts are well aligned and very tight. The S-pen cutout is quite tight requiring a fingernail to pull it out.
The camera is recessed sufficiently to prevent issues with setting down/dropping back first on a hard surface. The overall feel is it's well thought out and does not look thrown together like some other cases that were rushed to production. Worth the $$$ and I got another five bucks off ($30 total) by using a CNET coupon code. I always Google for codes when I see it on a website at checkout. Not sure if it's still valid and the black grip is OOS now...
Amazon doesn't even have this case (yet) and to get it for $10 off is a no-brainer!
Its a nice case i love the way the button, might have the best feedback but this case is worthless, within a few hours scratches will start to form and by the 2nd week you already want to replace because of the scratches. The darker the case the faster the scrtches will appear
I didn't notice scratches with my s4 and I had the case for months. Even so, it's better for the case to get scratches than the phone.

then you must carry it in a cloth because everyone knows specks cases scratch within like 1 day like they've been in a warzone. they are great cases but they don't keep the look.
$40 for that? Ouch. Looks like it should be $19.99 to me.
Yeah I keep mine in my pocket with nothing else in that pocket.
I never liked the Speck Candyshells. They scratch up like it's no one's business. They do look real good when you take it out of the package though.
Best thing is that they will replace their cases without any questions asked

Good morning everybody.
So about a month ago (20 February) I ordered an 'LG G3 Aluminium metal bumper' from seller galaxyshoppingcn on eBay.co.uk. At a purchase price of £6, I thought nothing much could be lost here.
So after a very long shipping time of just under a month from China (arrived 12 March), I took it out of its box. Immediately I noticed how flimsy the bumper itself was. Rather than deciding against using it, I decided to fit it to my G3 which has a black titanium dbrand skin affixed to the back and Nilkin tempered glass screen protector on the front. As I put it on, it started to puncture the screen protector, forming a chip on the bottom left corner of the screen protector and a hairline crack extending from that right to the top right where a similar chip had formed.
Consequently I removed this glass screen protector and replaced it with a plastic one. The bumper still would not fit. I had to remove the thin protective bits of paper from along the inside of the bumper and I finally got it to fit. Much to my disappointment however, I could still see the deformation of the bumper; the top and right gold edges of my G3 were still visible with the bumper on, i.e. it was bent outwards at these points. I continued to use it, but my annoyances continued to grow. My charger would not fit in the small port hole provided in the bumper, and neither would my headphones. This led me to remove the bumper and apply a new glass screen protector.
What annoyed me the most is that it did not just cost me £6, it cost me the additional £10 I had to spend on a new glass screen protector. If it had not been there the first time, I reckon that it would have punctured the screen itself, or at least have given it a deep scratch. I threw this piece of garbage out. I advise you to stay clear of these. Buy cases from reputable sellers and companies.
Just a heads up
I purchased one of the LoveMEI aluminum bumpers from someone on Amazon marketplace. It took a bit of time to arrive, but it was expected.
I have a dBrand Carbon Fiber back skin, and a Zagg HD screen protected (plastic). The bumper fit fine, although it was a two person job to put the darn thing on.
After using it for maybe 3 days, I noticed just how horrible my cell/data speeds were. As soon as I took off the case, the problems went away.
Metal and radiowaves dont mix you know!

I'm just liking the feel of the G3 caseless with a glass screen protector and my dbrand skin now. Would be perfection if the screen colours weren't so washed out!
IDK why you have that problem with the metal bumper. But I go ahead and ordered these from Amazon VWTECH Aluminum Metal Frame Bumper Skin Cover Case for LG G3 (Champaign Gold).
Uses it for a few days . No WiFi, Data, NFC and Cell Signal whatever problems. Its easy to install with the clip.
Thank you for that bumper for lg g3... i have being looking for one. Had an N4 nexus and loved the bumper
Ohh, i just noticed that yours have the cut out for the antenna. Do you know if they make the case without the cut out?
