Hi,
I tried to use the LG g2 without the case for a day and found it quite uncomfortable to use. Mainly because of the phone get really warm, and the slippery back side is really annoying, leaving a dirty and oily feel.
However this phone with a nice case feel right at home. Unlike my previous phone which I hated the extra bulk. The extra thickness and insulation is more than welcome to me. =)

I love almost everything about the phone except how it feels in my hand. I think the size is perfect. It's just too slippery. Just ordered the Diztronic TPU case from Amazon. I'm hoping that it helps.
I like the quick window case. It adds almost no bulk but it takes getting used to having the flap. It doesn't close all the way when it's new so open and shut it a few hundred times and it works as intended

I am thinking that a 3m sticker for the back to change the slippery feel might be the right way to go or else take the back cover out and duracoat it.
I love how thin the phone is, and the look without case. If I could just find some way to use it naked.

Not using a case right now and loving it. I do agree on the back being very oily though with fingerprints galore
Of you could just order 1 of these. Was worth $20 to me, I like to go with no case but agree the back cover gets to oily. Bothers the heck out of me. The skin went on good with no bubbles.
I'd love to order one, what's the name or link? ;p

Looks just like my old galaxy s2 with ghost armor skin. How do you find the grip with the carbon fiber skin? I found mine to be slippery
For those wanting a better grip without adding bulk, try Bestskinsever dot com
It's a screen and body protector film that adds nearly no bulk whatsoever.
It protects from scratches but only lasts for a few months at a time (6 months a the most in my case)
Cheers!
www.bodygaurdz.com. It is a little slippery, not too bad though. I used the Poetic slimline case that had the rubber grip and I really like that. In the end I am going to stick with this since it makes the phone a little less bulky.
I ordered a Poetic Palette case. It's very thin and high quality. You can find it under $15.

I'm awaiting the arrival of my evo lte and am debating on if a case is needed or not. It sounds like it's rock solid, and the screen is gorilla glass, so is something really that needed. Yes, I saw the one post where someone actually did crack the screen, so I understand it can happen, but is it really that likely?
The case I am considering is the basic TPU case that is cropping up on here. My biggest concern is that I want it as slim as possible, and even though the case is supposed to be about as slim as can be, it still adds some bulk.
Anyway, all thoughts are appreciated. Thank you in advance.
I think i may get one because this thing is so nice Im scared handling it.
I wasn't planning on using a case but it's so thin I need one to be able to hold onto the damn thing. I have small hands, so you'd think thinner would be better, but no.

I normally don't get cases or screen protectors. My EVO 4G went a year and a half without a scratch on the screen or a chip in the body.
The SGSII lasted less than six months before the same result.
EVO LTE is in a Platinum case (which sucks) with a Zagg HD screen protector.

good luck when that phone falls
One additional idea I had was to get some kind of sleeve to put it in when not in use. I think it may also come down to how it feels in my hand once I have it.
I've never really kept a case on any of my phones. I'm very good at handling them (except when my wife klutzes it up). I just know that my hands aren't the biggest, and with these phones getting bigger every year, adding a case just makes it worse.
And... I have TEP, and have always kept it.
Using a case is like wearing a condom. Sure it feels better without it but you're taking a chance. Some protection is better then no protection.

Nice analogy.... The phone is so thin to the point it feels slippery. I always use otterbox cases for all my phones. I'm clumsy.
I like my phones like my women, naked! Sanding the top cover makes it a bit more grippy. When I'm drunk in the club and holding the phone over the toilet, I make sure the kickstand is out and between my index and ring finger so it doesn't drop.
First phone I actually bought a case for.
Someone needs to make a back replacement piece that replaces the top plastic half to match the bottom metal half.

I had an otterbox case on my OG EVO and for the many time ive dropped it not a single chip or scratch... the second I took it off and dropped it I broke something under the glass (not the glass) and the screen is completely unusable... the second i got my free case from sprint i slapped it on the LTE and im waiting for the new otterbox from amazon so i can put that on it... i drop stuff too much to risk it lol... go with a case because you never know what around the next corner
I bought the Platinum Series case and I like it a lot. Very comparable to the OtterBox case but about $14 cheaper, and comes with a clip. I found it at Best Buy. I would post a link, but I can't yet. Just search it out on their site.
I read that Sprint was sending out a free case with every EVO LTE, to make amends for the whole customs situation. Anyone receive one of those or know if it only applies to those who ordered direct from Sprint?
Since I opted out of the insurance, I'll be putting a case on mine. My OG EVO did quite well with the official HTC TPU case, so I'm considering this TPU case by Diztronic.
I'm also considering getting a screen protector, but not sure how necessary it'd be with the harder Gorilla glass. I'd be primarily using it to protect against scratches from keys, change, etc that might end up in my pocket.

You can actually sand the top half to match the bottom. I might try this, though it's not that noticeable either way, as my case will cover it.
See here for instructions on sanding.
No, put at least a tpu case on it. It's super slim, hardly adds any bulk, and gives you grip on the phone.
I probably won't put a screen protector on till my first scratch but you got to remember sand or even dust can still scratch the gorilla glass. So be careful at the beach all you summer beach goers.

Ok, I am kinda peeved right now. I bought a Diztronic TPU case shortly after purchasing my Note 2. The thing is just so slippery it screamed for grippy rubbery case. Fast forward a couple months and here I am taking my case off to clean out any dust inside it, only to find tiny pock marks all over the back of my phone. I swear it looks like a few grains of sand or something got in there, but I can feel nothing. I can only conclude even fine dust particles can scratch the back if caught between the battery door and the TPU case. Pretty disappointed my case has done more damage than keeping my phone nekkid ever would have. I baby my gear and this thing now looks like &#!$ on the back.
Anyone else experience this? Any better kind of case I should use when I order my replacement back? Or do I just need to be better about cleaning out the case more than once every couple months?
Thanks...

I have had this issue too. I bought a cheap TPU case off of Amazon while I was waiting for my phone to come from VZW and put it on after I had pkayed with the phone for a day. When it went in the case it was perfect, a week after being in it the battery door has deep scratches, the chrome bezel around the camera is scratched badly and the chrome bezel around the screen is DENTED IN! The case actually covered the bezel around the screen so it wasn't something in my pocket that did it, it was something that magically got in and out of the case. And lemme tell you those scratches and dents are especially noticeable on the Titanium Note 2...
After that I ordered 2 CruzeLite TPU cases, or whatever they call their cases, and thise worked much much better, my phone got no more scratches and was pretty welly protected. I still wanted something a little better though because I was still scared that if I dropped it that it would get badly damaged so when the Urban Armor Gear case was finally released I bought it and couldnt be more happy.
The sides are a way thicker TPU rubbery type material and the back is hard plastic. It gives the phone a more sturdy feel, like you could drop it and barely worry about it getting damaged. The few times I have dropped it didnt hurt the phone or the case, it is a very welly built case and doesnt add much more bulk than the CruzerLite TPU cases did. I would definitely reccomend you try one if you like the way it looks, the black and orange look really snazzy in my opinion, but I have a thing for orange soo....

I'm anal about my gadgets too. But when you put the case back on, you won't see the pock marks. If it still bugs you, just replace the plastic battery cover. That is why I prefer plastic instead of an all-metal body. If the battery cover gets messed up, you can always get another one. You can't fix damage on an all-metal phone like the HTC One. Yes it's a beautiful device, but once it gets the first scratch or ding, it will never be the same. Just like the first door ding on a new car

I've had this issue with previous cases on other phones in the past but not this time. What I did is within the first hour of getting the phone I wrapped it in that sticky wrap that's cut for our phone that they sale on Amazon then I put it in the case. One the phone looks sick wrapped up and two if I ever wanna pull the wrap off I will have a brand new phone with not one single scratch. Cause I found over time plugging a phone in every night in the pitch black before you go to bed eventually scratches around the port but not this time.

Yeah I found replacement covers on Samsung's site for $20. I know there's cheaper alternatives but I am always wary of knock offs. The bigger bummer is the sides of the phone are jacked too and ya can't replace those. Sucks. I was hoping to sell the Note 2 when the Note 3 arrived, but my resale value just took a nose dive.

I bought the Incipio Case LGND and have no regrets. You can find it on their website here http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...-cases/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-lgnd-folio.html or spend a little less and buy it from Amazon. However, I'd pay the extra extra money because it comes with a screen protector, cloth and lifetime warranty if purchased directly from the manufacturer. I don't have any issues with debris getting in between the back cover of the phone and the case. The phone is easy to place into the case and take out.
Always clean your case. At least ecery other day. Sabd and little dust particle will eventually get in there no matter how tight your case is.
As for me, I put on Xtremeguard back protector since I had the white version. I figured I can always peel the back and get higher resale value.
Today I received my Spigen Slim Armor w/Air Cushion Technology. Sorry, I wanted to post a link to the Amazon page so everyone could see what it looks like, but you will all have to Google/Amazon it
First impression is that it fits snug and has great cutouts. There is a full rubber cover and then a hard shell that wraps over the middle portion of the rubber cover. The hard shell is a bit slippery but overall it is a well put together case and leaves more than enough space for a tempered glass screen protector. The only unfortunate thing about this case is that there is a hole where the buttons on the back of the phone are, really wish there was a cover for the buttons as well but I have yet to see such a case, like the Otterbox cases for the LG G2.
Overall it is a good case and worth the price.
I purchased this case a the Verizon store when I got my phone, overal great case offeres good protection while keeping the phones slimness, just an fyi if you order the white one it has like a shimmery look, my wife says It looks like it's for a woman
I have this case too and I like it. FYI the white case is just as shimmery as the OEM white backplate. Hell, Spigen calls it "Shimmery White..." Oh and it's $9.99 right now.

So now I'm going to have 3 cases and 2 OEM Qi enabled cases....:silly:
I have the charcoal one and love it! Back isn't slick to me...unlike the protection and slimness
I have the Spigen Slim Armor in Metal Slate and I'm extremely happy with it. Low profile, lightweight, and the cutouts are spot on.
I bought the Incipio Dual Pro case at the store when I got my G3, and I consider the Spigen to be much better. While the Dual Pro does seem to protect the phone very well, the ridges along the side are so high and protrude so far onto the face of the phone that it makes it nearly impossible to swipe from the left to access the menu in most apps. Even though I have huge hands, I find it a challenge to hit the upper left part of the screen with my right thumb on the G3, so using the swipe from the left side is essential to me. It's not an issue with the Spigen Slim Armor, as it does not extend far enough onto the face of the phone to get in the way. :good:
Which one of the Spigen's do you like better?
I'm also rocking this case.. overall i'm happy with it. Very slim and fits snuggly.
Only downfalls are the back is a little slick. not a big deal. Theirs not covers over the buttons, on my g2 I had a balistics case that covered the buttons which was nice. The only thing that really bothers me about this case is where the ubs and headphone jacks plug in. the edges on the case are somewhat sharp. I hold my phone in a way that it rests on my pinky finger, and its irritating to say the least. Maybe its just me and my big hands..
Just picked up this case as well as I can't stand the built in screen protector on my Supacase Beetle Unicorn due to the dead spots. So going naked for the screen, but will have this case on it. My wife has one on her g2 and always liked how it felt.

How is the white color holding up. Every white case I have after a few weeks it turns brown or black. I cant stand it.
For the sharp edge on the pinky finger just get some 1000 grit sand paper and take the edge off. Helps a lot.

Mines pulls away too. Thought it just was the way it was due to the screen getting so close to the edge and the case not having much to hold on to.
Great Protection BUT
I purchased the Slim Armor case. Really like the look and the fit (stays in place and doesn't cover the screen). My only issue is the depth of the power and volume keys. With the case, they are recessed almost 1/8th of an inch. This makes it harder to use both.

I disagree about the recessed buttons. I find it makes it very easy to find the buttons and avoid touching the camera lens. Also, I have long skinny fingers and am able to use the device comfortably with one hand. This phone isn't for people with small hands...

There's a 30% off deal right now before the new year (30JOY). I just ordered mine. If anyone has the case let us know in this thread.
Looks like a quality case for how much it costs. I don't think any Nexus users have it yet so I'm in the same boat as you are :laugh:

I had it for my iPhone and really enjoyed the case. Held up with my many drunk phone drops and the phone itself still looked like new. I would assume the case would still be awesome for the Nexus.
I just received mine in the mail about 10 minutes ago. And right off the bat I love this case. Feels great in the hand. All the ports are covered. Adds a little bulk to it but its pretty minimal. And most importantly it feels super sturdy. I finally feel at ease having this phone out of my pocket. This is my first Trident case but I'm pretty sure this thing could take a nice beating.

Just got mine too! I'll be posting pics in a bit.
Update: This case is very well made. The buttons are easy to press and also I love the feedback when you press on it. If you notice the back of the case has two ridges on it. This enables the phone to be used on a flat surface. So the phone doesn't wobble around while its laid down. Also it feels great in the hand. It feels a nudge thicker than my Ringke slim case. Overall, I'm very happy with this case. It doesn't add too much thickness. I can finally txt while the phone is flat on my desk. Button cut outs are perfect.
Is the rubber soft or more like a TPU? Does it attract a lot of lint? I don't like soft rubber than stretches out over time like he ballistic cases have.
Yes its soft rubber. The blue part is hard plastic. I have mostly kept my phone in my jacket pocket. No lint issues so far.

Yeah it comes with a screen protector, but I decided not to use it. I'm waiting for the jellycomb tempered glass to arrive.

I appreciate the reply I'm still deciding on what I want. If I get one it will be black and I'll post pictures.
I have a jelly comb tempered glass on mine with this case. Between the two I am almost getting full screen protection. It does go around the slight curve a bit but doesn't affect the tempered glass.

The rubber is pretty comparable to that of an otterbox. But I honestly think it feels more forgiving. The rubber really feels like it would absorb a drop very well. The rubber is a little thicker than that of an otterbox, but overall bulk on this thing really is minimal. I would definitely recommend it. Its easier for me to hold one handed now too. Rubber gives it some grip where its exposed.

In just don't like how the otter box rubber stretches out over time and is a lint magnet. Do you think this case would suffer from those issues?

It def could stretch. Mine hasn't yet or I would have returned it lol but I could see how maybe that could happen over time. But it does feel like it would be more resilient to stretching vs the rubber on an otterbox. And it is that same material that does suck up lint. But mine hasn't really yet. I don't keep it in my pocket much so that helps. But I have been surprised about the lack of lint on this thing. I have the back one. I will post pics later.

Just got mine too! I'll be posting pics in a bit.
Update: This case is very well made. The buttons are easy to press and also I love the feedback when you press on it. If you notice the back of the case has two ridges on it. This enables the phone to be used on a flat surface. So the phone doesn't wobble around while its laid down. Also it feels great in the hand. It feels a nudge thicker than my Ringke slim case. Overall, I'm very happy with this case. It doesn't add too much thickness. I can finally txt while the phone is flat on my desk. Button cut outs are perfect.

Thanks for the update! Sounds like I made a good purchase, and the black one I ordered is supposed to arrive Thursday. Now if only I had the nexus that went in the case.... hahaha

I'm not sure I understood what you say (not a native English speaker, nor do I have the Nexus 6 yet, though I will most probably order it very soon): does the Aegis stop where the Jelly Comb begins, or does it cover it a bit, or does it leave a gap between the case and the protector?
Could you please post a picture of what it looks like on your phone? Making my purchasing list (a phone without accessories is not enough, even such a big pricey one as the Nexus 6 ), and will definitely go for the Aegis. I still need to make my mind up on a screen protector: I've not already been through all the pages on the tempered glass thread, but the Jelly Comb is one of those coming back much there.
I tried to take pics, but my camera sucks and came out blurry. But there is a tiny space between the jelly comb tp and the case. I highly recommend this combo. Its a perfect fit.

Thanks for the quick answer. Great news to me if the Aegis and Jelly Comb almost fit flush. If I read you right, you'd almost have to look for the gap to notice there's a screen protector (save for the speakers and other cut-outs)?
If you cannot get your camera close enough to zoom right on the gap (minimum focusing length problem, I guess: it's why macro lenses are made, but if you're not into insects portraiting, use cases requiring just those are not that many ), maybe a wider field of view would be doable? I'm essentially after such a gap not being noticeable in normal use cases; not after nitpicking if it's just as wide as a few hairs
Here are the pics anyways. It's blurry as hell, but hopefully u can get an idea.
Ok so I decided to get a more heavy duty case because I will be needing it for a couple of weeks.
Decided to grab the Supcase off amazon because it was the highest rated heavy duty case on there.
The case itself feels like it stands to the title "heavy duty." I say that because it does add a bit of weight to the phone, which i personally like.
The cut outs are spot on so there is no obstruction to anything and it have a dust cover for the headphone and usb ports.
The power and volume button is slightly raise which makes it easy to reach and press.
It also feels like it would be able to withstand a fall or 20 without there being any damage to the phone...
other than that there is nothing else that you can say about this case.
Now for the bad.
The rear camera cut out is lazy...by which i mean they expose the Motorola logo. and instead of creating a bright between the camera and logo. they just left a long cut out between them....bad design, because that doesn't really help protect against duty.
The back is a lot slippery which is a disappointment for a heavy duty case.
The included "screen protector" is just a flimsy piece of, well film...although it would be able to protect the screen from scratches it would not do anything if you phone fell at an angle which cause it to hit the screen directly.
Well on that note, because the SP is just a film...it does not lay flat against the screen which creates a giant haloing effect all across the screen....that is a MAJOR deal breaker for me.
**Edit**
Not really a pro or con just preference
Almost forgot...the include belt clip although sturdy, meaning it will stay in place, clips to the face of the phone, so you will not be able to check notification while using the clip...I find this annoying some might like the added protection in case you bang the screen against the edge of a table/desk or whatever else.
Conclusion...
This case its a 2.5/5
Chances are I'll only use this case for the next few weeks, then store it in a box somewhere until I need it again...You are better off with a good TPU case and Temper glass protector for everyday usage.
**Edit**
Turns out that not working out for a few people so I Heavy duty case without a built-in SP with a TGSP, maybe
I think I'm going to buy the ballistic tough jacket maxx

I bought the supcase unicorn beetle and it's definitely a 4 out of 5.I admit the back is slippery and the camera cutout is lazy but I don't have a haloeffect on my front screen.maybe you got a bad one.I love this case a lot more than the ballitistic.This one alteast has style and fits the phone tight

Umm I wish i could take a pic to show you... but if you say that your front face is flat against the screen so that you don't have that glaring effect where it looks like you have water trap underneath the screen, then maybe I will try to contact them to get a replacement.
I love the ballistic case on my lg optimus g pro. Figured it would make the n6 to big for my liking. I got the supcase and like it.
i do have the haloing and so does my wifes moto x2013 with her trident case. I can only see it with the screen off and at an angle so no real problem, plus dont have to deal with bubbles. I do agree its slippery and should be more tacky for a hd case but even the ballistic case on my old phone was slick on the back, only the corners were really grippy. I personally like the camera logo cutout. I would of liked it to include the nexus logo as well like the ringke max case I also bought. overall im happy with it, it is a bit big but i feel it is protected. I had the phone for a week and didnt use it until i got the cases for it. I have 2 kids and accidents happen.

lol, I wish I hadn't used my phone the first week I had it without a case..and I would have like the cut a lot better if it was like the Ringke Max. Overall like I said the phone feels and is protected in the case, for instances I drop the phone in the gym last night (due to the slippy back actually, it really just slipped out my hand) and nothing happened happened to the phone. :victory:
The haloing i get with the screen both off and on, and from all viewing angles
