I tried checking a few places and haven't seen anything. I'd prefer a bumper case so I can preserve the beauty of the back of the phone. What are our chances of getting some?

Here is one; It's really expensive for what it is. Hopefully some cheaper ones will pop up on amazon soon.
Yea, that's unnecessarily expensive. Do these cases cover the LED light on the power button?

Bumper case with a glass-back phone..
Why not just get one with a handle across the top, they you could actually use it as a curling rock.
I'm totally with you on the bumper case. Want want WANT. I've also seen some cases that are silicone with a clear plastic backing... might do in a pinch. Still much prefer a bumper (that's not $35... yeesh).
I have Belkin Bumper and I'm happy with it.. The only Con I have is the Headphone Jack/Port.. I have the Cassette Adapter in my car and it does not fit as the hole on the top is small. For that reason I might want to sell this case. If I can and get a new simple one.

Yes they cover the LED. (As its 2 layer case)
I hate the bumper case. So ugly and bulky. You can remove the rubber part from the outer shell and that's the size I wish it was. But you can't use it that way since it is loose and looks unfinished.

I agree that the bumper is too expensive for what it is. I spent $35 on a bumper I used for 3 days, and stopped because it was much bulkier than it needed to be and ugly to boot. My LG's naked now and I feel fine.

I found this bumper for the E971 on a Canadian retailer's website. Seems like the E971 and the At&t E970 are the same size so it should fit:
gocellular.ca/?item=lg3005 (new member so wont let me post direct link)
Part number for this is CCH180AGCABK and seems to be manufactured directly by LG. Looks much slimmer than the Belkin version.
According to Rogers website, it's the same size as the 973, not 970

Yep your right wasn't paying close enough attention, site I was using to compare sizes showed the E970 at 5.15 x 2.82 x 0.33 (131 x 72 x 8 mm) and the E971 at 131.9 x 68.9 x 8.5 mm (5.15 X 2.82. X 0.33). I looked at it in inches got excited and then failed to see that it is actually a different size.
lady at puremobile.com said this was for the AT&T version and would not fit the Sprint version. I ordered it via Amazon...we'll see.

edit: just got the case...it does not fit. it's just a smidgen too narrow for the phone.
this is my main gripe with LG at the moment...to sell a device under one name yet with multiple sizes. that was stoopid.

Keep us posted guys. The Belkin bumper from AT&T is decent but the ports are too small and you can't plug in the usb cable at the bottom to charge it.

After looking at the picture it says 13.0 MP right next to the camera. If that's on the case, and not just Photoshop, then it most likely not for our phones.

From the iFixIt teardown: "We won't lie, getting to this point was an arduous and daunting task. The amount of work required to separate the rear aluminum case and the front case was immense."
You sure you want to do this?

I saw the housing for sale a few days ago too, I don't remember what site it was though so I guess it's not a lot of help. But they are for sale and from what I remember it wasn't very expensive.
Here's one. Would be pretty crazy trying to do it though

I got curious about this housing. I'm not sure if anybody actually read the description. It says Material: Plastic.
I work in a cellphone repair shop and I have come across a phone similarly built to the HTC One, the 8x. DO NOT ATTEMPT.. That being said, from the ifixit tear down it seems utterly impossible to do any "fun hardware mods" like a housing change. This phone has no way to open it other than to open it from the display assembly, and its glued down. The Galaxy Nexus is clamped together by its plastic outer housing and bolted together by the screws inside the housing, which is relatively easy to replace and swap out. This is not the case on most new HTC phones. DO NOT TRY IT!

This is what I was about to mention, that this is probably for the China version of the ONE. The one that has dual sim, sd slot with removable back.

OP: If you decide to try this, can you make a youtube video for us?
I still do not recommend you do this, you will end up with a broken LCD assembly..

Just thinking that the perfect phone would be the G2 with the matte finish. The front screen is already perfect but add the matte finish with the awesome back placement of the power button and volume keys and it would be amazing. I love my G2 but the back cover is a horrendous plastic finger print magnet. I cant imagine how many units LG would have sold if the the back cover was Matte finish like the Moto X or Nexus 5? Just dreaming...
Just purchase another back cover off eBay or so and sandpaper it (or use steel wool grade 0000). Check out the accessories forum, there's a thread there . Imo the matte finish is far more elegant.

Sure.. My point was they'd sell a random number, regardless of the N5's back.
I didn't even look at the back of the G2 when buying it, personally, as I always use a low profile TPU type case.

Of course I knew they were on the back, but after playing with Knock-On in the store I figured I could live it. Otherwise, it'd have been a no-sale.
I didn't pay attention to the back much otherwise, as it'd always be covered.
Who cares about the back most use a case if they're smart lol.

I like the look of it as it is, but a back with more grip would be more comfortable, at least in summer

well then i think the people who care don't then even look for N5, Moto X, or G2 altogether. They buy iPhone 5S champagne or even Vertus. They're so stupid if they care of matte back covers
I believe most people were turned off by the rear button placement...not the glossy shiny back.

Few people are put off by so called 'bloat'. Very few really know what an unbloated phone looks like for 2 reasons. First the Nexus' sells in tiny numbers, and second the Nexus isnt bloat free anyway! The G2 is no more burdened with bloat than any other phone.
I dont have a problem with the G2s back. Sure its plastic, but its smart. The N5 might be soft touch, but it looks and feels hollow and cheap.

Thank you, I was about to say just this. The XDA echo chamber continues to rumble with the expectation that every user is a power user and that every customer roots their phone.
Plus, even with the stock ROM, the phone is a beast, I saw no lags in the 24h I used it stock.
I have a matte protector on the back of mine from BestSkinsEver. Problem solved.

You may want to check out http://www.gethuawei.com/huawei-ascend-mate-2.html . this is what I went to to get mine. Its unlocked and has free shipping for orders over $99. They are selling the phone for around $300 but I got mine when they had a special on them and got a reverse charging cable, a sim card and $50 net 10 card all for free. They don't have that now but it still might be worth checking them out.
I bought mine from Consumer Cellular. If I had to do it again, I would pay the extra $50 and get one via gethuawei.com. Not that CC is bad mind you, but it was a bit of extra effort to get it both boot loader and carrier unlocked.

if your looking for a case to go with your new phone you may want to check this one out.

you can probably find it cheaper on amazon but its very good at keeping your phone safe. I have one and their very good, the only thing is if you need to take the phone out you just about need a chisel to get the case open again. All the ports like the charging port and headphone jack is covered the only thing that not really covered by the case a little bit at the top where the speaker is.

The White one was what I had initially (sample device). Wife loves that one for some reason. I'm definitely aiming for the black though. That is for sure. Would be pretty slick if I could get the Black model with a dark red back cover.... Oh how sweet would that be lol.
