E970 Case Links - For All Your Casing Needs - AT&T LG Optimus G

I noticed there are several links floating around in the forums. The goal of this thread is to bring them under one roof, and also to prevent ordering cases for the LS970.
KEY:
Confirmed - Confirmed either by purchase or e-mail.
Unconfirmed - Listed as e970 and looks like it is actually for the e970, everything else unknown/unconfirmed (May be for LS970)
Ordering any unconfirmed cases can be a gamble. I really hope to avoid listing incorrectly advertised cases. Unfortunately there is only one way to find out for sure.

These cases either have no reviews or bad reviews.
Some of them aren't fitted for AT&T, but for Sprint, no matter the title of the case.
This thread is misleading.
Also, they're expensive for not having a substantial amount of protection.

I wouldn't count on the Otterbox case. I have emailed CS asking whether it will be compatible with AT&T's E970. No response. They also have a few long outstanding questions about compatibility under Q&A unanswered.
Also, if you look at the pictures, you'll notice that the camera and flash in the image are definitely not E970's/

I assure you, the goal isn't to be misleading. The goal is for new people (or just others browsing the web) to quickly find cases for our phone. We both know how rare they are. Instead of looking through pages of numerous threads, searching for links, why not put them in one place?
I have updated the OP to be a little less misleading.

Well I'm going to be purchasing this phone in the near future and I think the thread is helpful. I like the idea of some one stop shopping for a case and it would be great to see some pics and reviews from those who have purchased a case.

The thread has the intention of being helpful, but there aren't any legitimate cases for the AT&T version.
This thread is helpful, for now, for only Sprint(/Roger) versions.

Better buy em quick before the sell out.

Also ordered the black generic TPU case. Looks a helluva lot like the Amzer case I had on my Captivate. Will update this post when it arrives.
**update** case works/fits as advertised. Almost positive this will be the same product Amzer will stock at some point down the road.

silicon cases for LS970 fit E970
hi all-
FYI, flexible soft 'jelly' silicone cases (NOT hard TPU plastic) for the LS970 do fit the E970 just barely. I received a case from an eBay seller, Casewear today which turned out to be an LS970 case. The E970 must be just slightly thicker but with a little stretching the shell conforms to the E970 frame well-enough for daily use, and all the cutouts for the camera, speaker and other ports are fine too.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Red-Soft-Si...457525?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2578156335

New links added for the TPU cases (Still not confirmed, mine should arrive very soon). It does look very promising from the pictures though. Also, I received an e-mail from Luxuary Cell Wireless. He confirms that the silicone cases are 100% for the AT&T E970 model.

Dude, I bought the 7$ bundle on the jelly case/ black...for sprint, could have dealt with the camera area but it was too narrow, even tried stretching the $%#$% out of it, oh well..got a Zagg today, fits good, miss that ultra smooth glass feel though.

Emailed Otterbox, they said it would fit both, so probably no dice in reality.

Just got my TPU case from Cellularzones. It fits perfectly. The power button and volume rocker are covered but very easy to push. You can kinda see the notification light. I got the black/smoke version so it may be more noticeable with the clear version.

PDAir are now offering a flip-type black leather case ... 1st I've found.
Probably not the highest of looks - I prefer Covertec myself - but cheap enough (USD$28) and will have to do until the real thing comes along (I always wanted to say that )
I just got my o2 o2(o2 orbit2) yesterday, it fits krusell Orbit Case for HTC3300 perfectly - except the hole on the back doesnt fit camera :-( but anyway i didnt buy it to use it as regular camera. So far i'm happy.
Anyone already found some cases like the one supplied? I'm looking voor a leather one the only one I found is this one http://www.beyzacases.com/cat_vs9.cfm
Boxwave are also selling cases (and other stuff): http://www.boxwave.com/products/dlcase/htc-touch-cruise-designio-leather-case_3046.htm
The credit for finding this goes to Dave Fields who first posted a thread here about Boxwave accessories for the Touch Cruise.

I immediately found the belt clip case for the Samsung Blackjack. It is a great fit and a well protected case.
Hi,
I have an Orbit 2 and goy the Pdair flip case last week.
very good and came the next day after ordering
Only issue is the lights on the front are hidden by the case, but for me thats minor.
All other holes for buttons, 2 x camera etc are ok.
Would buy another.
Cost £15 with delivery
The case for the Moto-Q actually works quite well. I got the one that's made by Motorola.

I've been un touch with Krusell , They don't have a case for the HTC Polaris ,
but they promise that "Soon" they will release products for the HTC Polaris,

so I will keep u poseted.
I tried it in the Artemis aluminium case from Pdair and it fits but is a little tight to close the front once inside, camera hole is wrong but otherwise this is the style of case I want, its saved my Arte from many a fall, the case looks battered but the device is still as new - Mike
I have this case, and am impressed with it.

There is silicone case for polaris ?
I've been very happy with the Bugatti cases I bought for both my XDA Mini S and original Orbit...
http://www.bugatti-mobilecases.de/html/index.php?lang=EN
Bugatti don't offer a case for the Orbit 2/Polaris yet, so I mailed them to ask when it will be available.
Their marketing department told me that it's not available in Germany yet, doh! So I sent them a link to the German O2 site, I await their response with anticipation...
Update: "The XDA Orbit 2 is available in combination with a long-term contract. The device without a contract is extremely expensive. The estimated amount of sold cases does not justify the expense at the moment. Hopefully we will have other possibilities to receive an original device. Please sign up for the newsletter. This seems to be the best to do at the moment."

Piel Frama
I've been very happy with my previous Piel Frama case for HTC Touch
and I'm a bit quite disappointed by my Boxwave case (except a very good price for a general good quality)
However, in order to get the top of the top leather case for my new Polaris, I will order the new one at Piel Frama
For sure prices are high, especially in US$, but the appointment with quality is set !
There are lots of different thoughts and opinions. But i have never used any cases before. So any suggestions to me is welcome..

I ordered that exact pen from amazon last week. It just arrived yesterday. It's legit.
But keep in mind: This pen comes with no AAAA battery (luckily I bought a 2pack the day before they arrived)
It comes with no box... just wrapped in bubble wrap. (I bought my wife a tripod along with this order and it was just thrown in the box as pictured.)
I've been playing around with it, and it's been working nice and smooth. Definitely worth it.

Hello all,
Just received via USPS mail the Scribe pen that I ordered on Nov 24th. (note: Big thanks to GODZSON for the heads up on this deal!) Shipped in a bubble pack mailer envelope and wrapped in a bubble pack and plastic baggie. Just tested it on my EVO View, works fine so far. Although the ad states it includes a AAAA battery, it does not.
Aesthetically I like this black colored pen over the silver one from bestbuy. Sprint stores charges $49.99 for the same pen.
Thanks to this forum for letting us know about these great deals!

Cases - Do we know for sure if International version will work?

I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?
What are all of you buying for a case?
I bought a case from Amazon for 5 bucks for international note. If it doesn't work then I am out only 5 bucks.
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!
cimotech said:
As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9
I was thinking about getting the SGP because it covers the power and volume buttons.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...XD94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328645558&sr=8-1
They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

Looking into buying the SGP ultra thin case on Amazon. $25 w/ free shipping
how difficult is it to take these cases/covers off of the Note? (so i can change the sd card or battery)
so international Note accessories work well on ATT note,any pics?
For Seidio Fans
Seidio has a place holder up for the Galaxy Note! Won't be long now before the cases come out. I wonder if they will include a holster for the surface case?

Our Gloss TPU and S-Line TPU cases for the Galaxy Note for AT&T are now in stock and ready to ship. The Matte TPU cases are expected next week. Let me know what you think:
Gloss - Black - White
S-Line - Black - White - Clear - Red - Blue - Purple

Thanks for the info. I have a few questions:
Will a screen protector come with each of those cases?
I noticed the purple S-Line link doesn't go to product page.....But will you guys still be selling it in that color?
And finally, does the Gloss and S-Line cases both feel about the same?
EDIT: Nevermind. I scrolled through your product pages and was able to find that purple case.
Here is mine. Just received it today. It's a G4-slim fit. It's a hard case that is super thin and has a rubbery non -slip feel to it.

this is the email i got from tpu
clay also is an international note owner
A customer support staff member has replied to your support request, #711 with the following response:
Hi Tyler,
We are making a case for it, we just wanted to be sure that the AT&T version was the same as the International version. I'm glad we waited as it turns out the AT&T version is slightly thinner. I'm still waiting on confirmation of the mic placements as well, AT&T has been known to move them on previous phones. As soon as we have a 100% confirmation of the design of the phone we will start making our mold.
Best,
Clay
We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please reply to this email.
Errr lol....I predicted all along that basically all intl Note accessories should work with at&t version.
But if the info from them is accurate, then looks like the opposite.
I'm also counting on those various HK and Singapore vendors to quickly release TPU cases for at&t Note.
I only have used TPU cases for the last several phones I had....best combination of thinness, and the dust repellant element.
I hope its not true just received my tpu case I paid 5 bucks for. Looks great hopefully it works. We will see on the 19th. They don't even have a phone to verify the thickness. So how can they be sure?
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
I'm just glad the $30 case I ordered was advertised for the i717 . . . sending it back if it doesn't fit!!
Rearth is selling theirs as i717 specific and the cases look identical (mic placement). They have pictures up of the case on the i717 but I wouldn't be surprised if they're photoshops.
tpu-cases by diztronic are top notch and the best cases i have ever used on my phones.
matte black of course

Rearth just emailed me back and said they designerd their i717 cases with a unit in hand. Assuming that's true that means mic placement is the same as N7000 based on these pictures.
I went to best buy yesterday and an employee gave me a note model to check if my case would work. It does. mic placement is the same.

I did not think the dimensions of the two models would be different enough that they were not be interchangeable on the cases. Thanks of the update!
i am still waiting mine

I meant best overall case i've ever used. Im including the 10$, 25$, and even the 35$+ ive spent on cases.
It's super light, it's durable, doesnt scratch easily, the material is flexible yet super tough, and it protects the entire side/back of the phone. Use a decent screen protector, and chances of your phone ever getting knicked/scratched are pretty slim to none.

That case is IDENTICAL to the Boxwave UniColor case. Google it- it can be found cheaper.

YO chkit
I just got this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/360432836241?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 take a look tell me how great it is
Exactly the same case can be had for $4.88 + Free shipping
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110824258506
These US sellers really make killing profits on this. These case are OEM case, real cost is like $2 or less. They import them in large quantity to US and sell for $16+
So.. Yes, you're still sending money to China but now you're also giving $14+ to US middle man
You have the right to your own opinion and you have the right to do whatever you want with your money, if you're happy to spend that much, then good for you.
But I also have my own opinion and here it is..
You know what, the real cost for this is actually in the range of 10-20cents.
US sellers (most of them are individuals working from their garage) import them in bulk, with import taxes and shipping cost, there's no way it will be more than $1 for each case.
If these US sellers sell the case for $10 (that's 900% profit) or less I won't mind buying from them. But selling it for $16+ and saying MSRP for this is $30+ is just pure greed.
I'm all in for supporting US economy, if these cases are made in US and selling for whatever price, I wouldn't think much before buying from them.
Oh, btw, another bad news for you, about 90% of the price you pay for your new Galaxy Note goes to South Korea.

Got the same notice today.
So any additional info/results on these? Did alcatel decide not to distribute them? My cheap ebay tpu case came in and I have a hard plastic one enroute but it's not transparent.
i like the non official clear case, not too shabby http://www.ebay.com/itm/271867174414
only thing I want is 5.1 QUICKLY, and then root, but I'd even forgo root just for 5.1
For anyone looking for a clear case, I ordered this one 3 days ago and its coming in today,pretty cheap since Alcatel cancelled theres

Pretty much the same one is $3.78 with free shipping on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/271867174414 That's the one I'm using and it works ok...they now also have hard plastic ones on ebay for $2.59 [ http://www.ebay.com/itm/31136984068...49&var=610459552705&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT ] but they are non transparent colors. I went with a matte black.
This is what I got, I don't like the snap on ones because they don't protect as much if it falls.

Hi famewolf. I have a question.
Is the second one similar to Nexus 5 Ringke Slim?
[ ama zon.es/RINGKE-Google-C%C3%A1scara-Premium-Package/dp/B00EPLTC1I ]
I like that kind of cover. Is there something similar for Idol 3 - 5.5"?

I'll have to answer this after I get back from vacation as that case and another are sitting at home..delivered while I was gone. I'm currently using the clear tpu case.
They're exactly like the Incipio Feather cases. Actually not bad for $3 shipped. A little bit of a sharp edge on the bottom of mine, but the cutouts are perfect. Fit is snug.

Thanks.
official transparent case now available - but I didn't like it
The official transparent case became available directly from Alcatel's own web store about a week or 10 days ago.
I ordered one, got it in, but I didn't like it.
It fits well. Seems well made. But two problems.
One - it's really shiny, slick, makes the phone really easy to slip out of my hand.
Two - the parts of the case that wrap around the sides are absolutely flush with the front, they don't stick out at all past the front, which is nice unless you put the phone face down: they don't provide for any clearance between the glass and the surface where you've set it down.
I'm going to send this case back.
