Metal case. - AT&T LG Optimus G

Has anyone found any brushed metal or aluminum cases for this phone? I can't find any.

Not a one. Since dimensions of e970 are dissimilar to every other lgog we got shafted on cases and replacement parts.

:/ Saw that. So lame.

There are like red and blue ones if u still look for cases for that phone.

Aluminum cases tend to degrade signal.. I used to have one on another phone.. Looked cool but reduced antenna range and caused the phone to suck down the battery.

It also lists that it's for the E973 too which has different dimensions than our E970. From the photos it looks like it fits the Korean version.
If it fit the AT&T version the pic wouldn't have the other version.

I ordered a bumper from Pure Mobile last month since it said it was for for e970. Emailed them to verify and was told yes, it fits the e970. When it arrived, sure enough, it did not fit. I would hesitate until you see actual pics of the bumper on an actual ATT phone...not a stock image. That's the lesson I learned.

I sent a message to the seller but they didn't answer my question, lol. We'll just have to wait until it is listed again so someone can buy one and make sure it actually fits.

"1 x Bumper Case for LG Optimus G E971/ E972/E973 (This does not fit E970 AT&T version)"
What a tease

Unfortunately I don't think any of the supposed E970 bumpers will go back on sale. I'm beginning to think that was a typo in the listing.
I just wanna know where we can get that white Optimus G that they put in some pictures like that one

U will probably find the parts u need by google just as fast as any of us could here. And only u know what u r willing to spend. That being said, check out mobiletechvideos.com first. Good luck with the fix project. Looks like it got ran over by an 18 wheeler......with all 18 tires.

Hope you didn't pay for that..lol! If you wanted to spend the money..check out Etradesupply.com I have bought parts for my i777 from there. They have a full front housing assembly screen and digitizer including capacitive button ribbon for a decent price. But...I would only spend the money if I knew the only thing wrong was the screen. Flip a coin! Good luck!

Was it advertised as working? If not, why did you buy it in the first place?

I'd recommend just selling it as an AS-IS spare parts (mentioning all the things wrong with it) on eBay for little bit of change.
Its screwed lol its got water damage

Just how water resistant is this thing?

So I think I'm going to turn over a new leaf and try to keep a phone for at least a year. Well doing so will require an otter box or similar. The problem here is wireless charging. If it doesnt charge I'm going to have to use the plug. I know first world problems If I take that annoying flap off before it snaps off will the USB port still resist water?

If you have the flap off and the stock Samsung charger isn't in it, it is not resistant to water.

Well I hope they hurry up with the wireless charging covers.

The wireless covers are already available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Wireless-Charging-Cover-Galaxy/dp/B00ITI24EK/
Although, they really don't seem all too different than the standalone wireless charging receivers which can be had for a third of the price: http://www.amazon.com/JIAKE-Wireless-Charger-Receiver-Charging/dp/B00JO1TLJW/

I've had my eyes on a similar product and it seems they aren't thin enough to seal the cover on. The only review of this one says he thinks its sealed so I'll keep my eye on that one for more reviews.

Nice. This one seems better for protection.

I saw that one but was worried it would be too big to fit a Spiegen case over it. I don't think the rubber bumper on this would give too much protection?

wow that cost as much as a QuickCircle Case. But i guess cuz its faux leather. Thanks for the link, good to know they're rolling out with accessories.

I got this one already http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-G3-F400-G...item1c41f4ea4f as it cover the whole back and edge, no need to have any cover, really nice back cover (or you can say it is phone case )

OEM back covers

Is there anywhere you can buy just the T-Mobile back cover? Mine makes a creaking noose when you touch the back around the camera.

I've found that most of the "creaking" noises comes from the battery being slightly loose.
Try taking out your battery and see if it still creaks.
I thought the back cover was solid not flimsy like past phones? I'm not going to press around the camera to see if I hear a creak. Lol
Mine has a slight creek in one corner, however, I fixed it by heating it with a hair dryer and bending it a little and now JTS perfect. I have 3 back covers and the Att one creeks more for some reason but I don't notice anything while it's in my case.

After a battery pull I'm not hearing it anymore.
