What cases are you chaps investing in to protect your Heros?
Have not seen any yet. Not sure if I should get one or not I did not get one for the Diamond and that is in great nick
New mobiles make me nervous...........
If you have the white... with Teflon coating and a good screen protector I would imagine that a case isn't necessary.
You haven't witnessed my ability to juggle mobiles and drop things out of pockets onto concrete
Also, when locking onto GPS signals, putting phones on window ledges and watching in horror as they drop 30 foot to paving slabs.....oh yes.....
Been there....done that!

i will be keeping a firm grip on my hero....
my old diamond was always trying to jump out of my hand
Mine will reside in my pocket, next to my homekeys, some coins and lint.
I like to put mine in a belt case while at work as I'm always running about. Apart from that a good screen protector normally does the trick
Soon available at www.noreve.com (high quality cases)
I'v tried all the high street stores, and nothing, 99% of mobile shops don't even know what the HTC hero is and 95% of them only sell iPhone crap and nothing else, the worlds getting taken over by sheeps with iPhones
Original HTC Pouch
I bought this:

...and unfortunately, it's crap. My white Hero has now some black parts and looks already old.
So, don't buy this if you have a white Hero. No problem whit a black one, I guess

I got this for free (http://www.handtec.co.uk) and so far no smudges. I tried rubbing some white plastic (NOT my Hero) on the inner leather lining, and with considerable effort I can rub off some black colour. After cleaning the white plastic piece it was bright white again, maybe you want to give it a try.
The case is a bit tight, though. On the other side, the phone can't fall out even if the magnetic latch opens accidentally ;-)
Overall, I'd give it 7/10 (good but not great).
Foof case for my Hero
At the moment I'm using a Foof case with a sherpa fleece inner. Its surprisingly protective and fits perfectly. Snug enough not to slip out but easy to remove. Got the ipod touch size from http://foofshop.com/ and they have great choices for different colours.
I've got this pouch:
http://www.krusellcases.com/uk/p_krusell_product.aspx?i=179446
Just what I wanted so far, it protects the phone and is rather slim. I didn't want more bulk in my pants pocket. The Hero fits quite ok, maybe it's a wee bit too wide, but not much.
Edit:
I'm gonna return the Pouch to the shop. The inner part (as well as the exterior) is made of a leather-like matherial in black color. The first days it was ok, but it has started to leave black stains on my white Hero. I was able to remove them really easily but I'm not happy anymore. I'll go check if its a defect in my pouch or all these models leave stains. I don't recommend it anymore.

Why would you post this here, rather than the thread about batteries?
I do not have a Hero yet, but I do plan on getting on when it is released in the US. Anyway...
Have you guys ever heard of SwitchEasy? They make cases for the iPhone and they are my favorite case maker, and I was planning to get a case from them as I was originally planning to buy an iPhone about a year ago. However, I did buy one for my girlfriend about a week ago and she LOVES it. I waited on buying that iPhone and out came the Hero.
I recently sent them an email to see if they would ever consider ever making a phone case for the Hero. Unfortunately, that was about 2 days ago and have not had a reply...
Perhaps if we can get enough people to send them emails so that they can realize how many people have Heros (and provided you like their cases ) we can get them to manufacture some cases and add a bit more selection to the slim pickings so far.
I am not trying to promote their products or site in any way, but if you like the style of their cases like I do, I would definitely like to see a case from them for the Hero. Was just wondering if we can do a group effort here.
If this post violates any rules that this forum has, please delete or mod it. Thank you!
I'm using the HTC belt holster that I got for my Diamond. It's a nice tight secure fit. The Diamond used to wobble around in it.
I am hoping there are some people here who know about what brands/sites are good ones or trustworthy.
Ok, picking up my Evo 3D on Friday..... and surprise surprise, the phone isn't even out yet, yet there are a million different places with brands nobody has ever heard of with supposed cases for this phone, some of them even having dimensions smaller than the phone itself despite being listed as for the 3D.... (Yes I know, no need to tell me many manufacturers will take existing stock and claim it works for the new device just to sell it).
So the thing is, I have no idea what cases might be designed specifically for the HTC Evo 3D, or even any respectable sites to buy such cases from.
But I am also sorta over-complicating the issue by not being sure if I should first over a back cover for the phone or not. See, I am not a fan of the way the camerapod sticks out, I was wondering if there were any GOOD cases that add enough bulk to essentially make the cameras level with the rest of the phone, even if this will add thickness.
Something like this, but I don't know if this really is an official HTC product or not, and if there aren't better ones (or if that is a trustworthy site):
http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=28040
And this brings me to my main concern. The main case I want to get is a belt-clip holster, not just a simple little clip that attaches the phone to your belt but basically a whole pouch to hold it, something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Black-Horizontal-Leather-Magnetic-Closing/dp/B0051IGCAI
But on top of the problem I already mentioned of there being a million cases just simply calling themselves a HTC Evo 3D case... there is also the issue of how it will fit. Normally, I don't care if a case is a little too big for a phone since it will hold it anyway, but all of my previous phones didn't have sensitive parts like the camera sticking out so much before, if I were to get a case, id want one designed to hold the pushed-out camera in place too.... but that would only work if I decide not to get a case that ads bulk for the purpose of keeping the cameras flush with the back of the phone.... and if I do decide to go with a back-cover to add bulk, will those pouch-cases then even still hold the phone or will it then be too thick?
Sigh... I'm over-complicating things aren't I? So anyway, any ideas? Its a shame those back-covers that increase the size of the phone can't make use of that size, such as storing a slightly higher capacity battery or something.
That first one's badass. I wonder how much coverage you get on the front. I ordered two slide together ones (like the innocase surface, but a clone), and one super-silicone one. I like buying a bunch of different colored cases to shake things up every now and then.

where is the case with the kickstand?
I went yesterday to a sprint store and got me a otterbox commuter case. I love it. They had about 4 different kinds but none with a kickstand. They also had the car dock as well.
TPU case for me. Ordered a few weeks ago from ebay, $4 shipped.
picked up a chase from BB this morning belt clip

Picked up a Body Glove hard case when I picked my 3vo up this morning. Doesnt add too much bulk
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
I got the case that Best Buy sells with a kick stand. It's 2-piece, kickstand, soft-touch, protects well. Very streamline. It costs too much ($40.00) but I had some reward points and ended up getting it for free. Love it!
Hmph, just terrific. To complicate matters, that hardshell case I posted isn't even available until July 13 apparently.... and nobody is showing that it looks like from the front...
I guess I should just at the minimum get a belt-clip pouch for now. Does anyone know of any good horizontal ones that were specifically designed for the Evo 3D instead of just general cases that roughly fit a phone of that shape?
Does anyone know where to get a cases and screen protectors? all I can find is for the international and sprint version. My phone arrives on monday
Got mine from ATT yesterday and they had a case on display, it's a dual protection case for $35, adds a little thickness to the phone. I did find this one online http:// http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Simple-Cl...ack-P95089.htm
im currently rocking the belkin bumper from the att store. looks good and feels good
I got a "Body Glove" which is a gel inside a hard case. So far, I like it. It doesn't add as much girth as an otterbox. I also added a screen protector (yeah, I know that it's gorilla glass, but I've seen scratches on GG too).
have any pics?

Screen Protector and Case
I too was looking around for cases and screen protectors as I just got the phone today! Love it so far. Really well made and fast phone. I found an Spigen (SGP) screen protector but it's for the Sprint and International one, but since the screens are the same (to my knowledge) I sent an email asking Spigen if they are compatible and also asked then when the AT&T Optimus G cases will be released. Will update when I receive an email back.
P.S.
I tried the Belkin Bumper for this phone at the AT&T store, and truly hated it because it made the phone look super weird.
I found a good screen protector for the front and back of the phone.
Search Amazon and eBay for the screen protector: REALOOK AT&T LG Optimus G(LG-E970) Screen Protector
(I'm not allowed to post a link until 10 posts)
I ordered this today and will post here on the quality when I get them.

I can vouch for the quality of this BodyGlove case that AT&T sells.... this morning I found my phone laying underneath our kitchen table. The phone had fallen 6 feet from a shelf and our floor is made of smooth concrete. I noticed it somehow made contact with three corners of the case leaving gashes... but inside my phone was found in pristine condition when removing the case. If it works from 6 feet it will most certainly be fine dropped from your hand or out of pants pocket

Got the body glove dual protection case from AT&T for my wife's LGOG, it seems to be the best case out at the moment although I hope Seido puts out something soon since I think the case is a little too smooth/slick and it's bound to slip out of her hands at some point in time. Would like something slightly more grippy.
I got one of the cheapo snap together hard cases locally, and the tabs on it snapped when I put it on.
I would avoid these, and for now, go with either the Belkin bumper, body glove, or wait for the speck and otterbox cases to be released.
Anyone have pictures of the case they are using?
I've had good luck with GreatShield screen protectors on my previous phone (SG2). Just ordered some from Amazon, they come 3 to a pack, easy, dry install. I prefer their anti-glare (matte) version though, low drag. The glossy version showed fingerprints and had an annoying drag effect. GreatShield also makes a nice, cheap TPU case but I couldn't find one for the OG.
I have a favor to ask can some one with the AT&T Optimus G and a good scanner the higher the DPI the beater make a scan of the front and back of the phone I have a company that can produce glass screen protectors all they need is a good scan of the phone the higher the DPI the beater. just PM me if you can help. Thanks.
I ordered this case for my e970 as it clearly states that it is for the at&t model. It came in today and of course is for the LS970 instead. It won't fit but it is a cool case. I would actually recommend this of you have the LS970 model.
I also ordered 3 screen protectors from EZ Gaurdz and I can 100% honestly say they are the worst I have ever seen. I've had a couple bad ones before, but these are awful. The cut is horrid and the material is decent at best. They do not come with top and bottom peel off layers like most do.
I've requested a refund on both of the items.
******UPDATE*******
I've received a refund from both sellers for the items. If anyone wants the case they can have it. Just pay shipping. PM me if you're interested. I will weigh it in the morning and update this post with shipping info. It shouldn't be more than a couple bucks for US. I like the case and I'm sad it didn't work out, but at least someone here can use it.

Not getting good mojo right now.
I sent Joel Michael from Cruzerlite a message via Gplus earlier about making a case. I will let you know why he says. Even if he says yes it will still take a month or so before we could have one in hand.

I tried that same case, same results. The seller was prompt with the refund and told me to keep the case. Guess it's going back up on Ebay. Finally rec'd the GreatShield screen protectors, but they were too long and the cutouts were wrong. The package was labeled LG Optimus G but the fit wasn't even close. Still waiting for that refund (3rd party on Amazon).

as we all know there are alot of variants of the L9 some with bigger screens and some with smaller some with the cam not in the center and some with beware when you buy accessories as you must be certain nowadays or you waist the money on something that wont work i have seen many cases as i have p769BK some of the cases i like are for the asian japan versions i just noticed this so i thought to let my friends down here at the L9 Forums know about this
Thanks for the heads up. This is definitely worthy of a sticky once a mod gets around to setting up forums here.
US version is different from others (mainly the camera cutting)
I have a bumper which is universal.
The battery is the same among all variants.
Avoid iPhone headset because the microphone doesn't work.
Thanks my friend i was about to buy one now im not lol
Sent from my LG-P769 using xda premium
Be especially careful on ebay buying accessories. Many sellers are listing using P769 or Tmobile p769 when the camera cutout is clearly in the corner (for the other varieties). I am envious of some of the nice-looking cases available for the p760. I hope they become availabe for the p769 soon.
yes especially as ive seen alot of that lately thats why i usually by accessories from amazon and a few other places i stick to places i know i can trust read reviews and so on to get the right thing i need its the best for anyone to do if there smart and wanna make sure they dont have to buy something multple times
Buy through reliable sources. I just got a setof Great Shield screen protectors - specifically sold for the T-Mobile L9 but are actually for the 4.7" screen size.
Through Amazon, this should be no more than hassle for me.

Yup that reminds me. .. My wife and I bought two phones at the same time and she was able to get a protective cover for both our phones (bless her)! And then I decided to be a cheap-skate and buy a screen protector from e-bay for $1.45 (1.00 for tmoble screen protector and $.45 for shippings). When I got it eventhough it was suppose to be for TMobile it was way too big for my screen. Si I went to TMobile and negotiated $12.00 for two instead of $16.99. And they put it on for me. So just make sure you are aware that if you buy online be ready to let it go! I didn't fret about $1.45 but I would have been pretty upset about a higher priced screen protector!
Flip Case
Found one flip case for P769 in ebay, seems to be bulky, if anyone tries this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Cas...PDA_Accessories&var=&hash=item35c3ed74c7#shId
I bought one of these tpu cases for P769 but it's not the same quality as S-Line. Seems stiffer almost like plastic. It flexes. The seam around the edge is sharp and not very comfortable to hold for a long time. Doubt s-line will be made for P769 because of camera location. It's available for the other models. First used S-line case for N4 and it was good. This case has a large cutout for the audio port and top mic. I prefer separate smaller cutouts in s-line.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/40039525165...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
This screen protector fits P769 but needs to be 1mm longer and wider. Junk turns purplish-green camo pattern after application. Last few cheap clear protectors i ordered for samsung and lg are like that. Always bought cheap clear protectors never seen anything like that before. This one also slightly affects brightness and viewing angle.

Large nylon case i bought for N4 and now use with L9. Looks nice, perfect fit for N4 and P769 but this disposable POS started falling apart after a few days of use. By few days i mean 5 minutes or a few hours a day. Had to reinforce stitches and added a buckle. Hope it will last a few months.

Cases first. I bought this white hard case for my American P769. Cases looks good but attracts lint in pockets and falls apart when I drop the phone with case on.
Screen protector. I bought this but the protector was too tall for my phone, even though the cutout portions matched the home and front-facing camera. Also, the colors were terrible.
Again, I lament the lack of mainstream accessories available for obscure middle-end smartphones. I wish some company would be courteous enough to design a sturdy, fashionable hard case for the P769.
I agree.. but I've found universal screen protectors are best. They are usually way bigger than ur screen and u have to cut it down to size using scissors..

I was just about to order a Ghostek Slim Armor for my G3 (yes it rips off the Spigen LG G2 styling Slim Armor casing with the squared off design; the Spigen Slim Armor for the G3 is more rounded all around) when I happened to notice this that just popped up on Amazon in my search results but didn't a few days ago:
http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Ghostek-Atomic-Attached-Protector/dp/B00TEFF3YA
Never heard of it till just a few minutes ago and considering the "introductory" price of $24.95 I'm damned seriously considering pressing that pre-order but right at this moment.
It looks fantastic, has an IP68 rating apparently but I can't find any actual info about it. There website needs a lot of work apparently as it's borked in ways I can hardly believe and was directed away to their Facebook page (I mean, really?).
Doesn't appear to be nearly as big and bulky as an Otterbox Defender would be, probably not as much as a Commuter either but they don't make a Commuter for the G3, they have something new called "Symmetry."
Regardless, I really am just so close to buying this case, it seems like a big winner to me - especially for $25 - but I think I'll wait a few days and try and get more info. Hopefully that pricing will remain in effect for a bit...
Anyone else have any opinions on this particular case, I'm curious if others would consider it worthy of protecting their G3 based on what it appears to be offering, and again that price is crazy if the retail will be $80 normally when it's officially released next week.

I just got my case and when I make phone calls the screen goes black and I can't get it to come back in till I take the case off. I went into the settings and made all the settings to stay on all the time even during a call works great out of the case the minute its back in the case and I make a call it goes black again and I can't get the screen to come back in not even with the home button. Any suggestions?

I seriously doubt it. There seems to be no protection on the camera. I would not trust this as water proof. Splash proof maybe.
