why the lack of high end cases? - AT&T LG Optimus G

Why has otter box, balistic and Trident decided to ignore the E970? I mean hell the Atrix HD at least got an otter box. I figured when I got this phone that I could get an otter box for it since it was glass on both sides. But good lord this is horrible. I'm using a snap around plastic case that came with my order thats better than nothing, but still... Do we need to start a petition or somting?

Carrier specific versions tend to get fewer accessories, this phone has different dimensions from international ver.

There's plenty of flip cases on eBay, but it's too bulky to carry around. Also hard to hold when talking on the phone

I couldn't find a Slim flip case fo OG like the ones available for S3/S4 and note.
However I had seen something resemling a case similiar to that.
BTW , the cases generally available and the ones which I was talking about were the poetic flip cases , which add a lot of bulk , or as it appears from the pics. But it feels like this will protect it from serious damage.
Some of the goo cases I found :
1. Expensive one . : http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Optimus-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3a89128e21
Here is the one I was willing to order at the end of this month. ; -

The second link actually looks good, ill probably get a white one.

The iMak cases are... Very foreign. And your phone attaches to it with adhesive instead of any clips. I used one for awhile and the case started breaking apart after a few months.

This is also the seido (sp) case just rebranded. It looks sharp but the kickstand is actually pretty crappy. It feels solid at first but few months of use, it gets too worn out to support any weight. I'm kind of disappointed. Loved it at first though.

I also have that case and been having it for about a year but i droped it once and case craked. It did serve it perpise of not damege my phone but 3 months later itcracked from the power side so now the case its a bit loose on top i am still thinking of bying this case again but i would like it cheper than 30.00 dollars witch i paid at amazon.
Seidio hev3d was what I went with in the end after a long look. Others look tacky and cheap. This isn't the thinnest but definitely the best.
If I do drop my phone, something I have never done and we are going back 12 years or so ! I know that this should keep it in one piece.

Wallet Flip Case

I was looking for a wallet flip case similar to this one...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flip-Leather-Wallet-Case-Cover-Card-Holder-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-i9300-T999-i747-/290738025419?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D1821906407524500591%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26
I have one of these for my GS3 and love it. These are easy to find for the GS3 but not easy to find for the EVO 4G LTE. Anyone seen one similar? I have seen some that flip up and some that are actual cases to put the phone in (like on a belt clip), but nothing with opening to the side like a book. Please help! Thanks.
*wonders what you look like when talking on the phone
I'd actually really like this. I dug around a bit and did manage to find what looks like the same case but designed for the EVO. Problem is, it's still on alibaba and is bulk order only.

saw one of these cases in Nashville, at a kiosk in the mall. It seemed to be made out of the fake leather that peels and rubs off. The kiosk was called Cellaris, they have a website but its not on there.
I've always really wanted something like this. As long as the phone easily comes out which it looks like it does. Hope in someone finds some of these!

Could you post a link for that one? Here's a links for some I found on amazon:
Deluxe Folio Ultra Wallet Leather Case:

Another Clutch (this one just shows a GS3 but I'm sure it would work.
With all that said... I don't really like any of these styles, with the clutches obviously not being male friendly. Maybe it's a sign though that we'll start getting some more of this stuff.

Thanks! But I'm actually waiting for a white or colored one. I have dark pockets ranging from either purses or jacket pockets. Would really like to be able to see my phone instantly. This is the style I want, though.
Edit: It seems this style actually has different colors. Is it possible to find just the case rather than with the chargers? I live downtown without a car so it isn't really needed.
Edit2: xD; Nevermind, colored cases are for Sprint version.
I dislike silicone because they attract so much dust and lint. But I still ordered one because I don't like my phone being "naked" and there isn't a tpu case out that I like.
I emailed diztronic and they told me that they will have one out in a few weeks. Link is below.

I've had a bunch of those rubberized plastic snap cases before for my old phone. Most of them were pretty bad quality. I'd stay away from the cheap ones on Ebay because they don't get reviewed by users and you can't tell if they are quality or not.

Flex from mini suit tpu

I was afraid that cases for this phone was going to add bulk and change the look. Bought this case from mini suit from ebay is really nice and cheap price its very thin tpu that also has matte back to so the phone kinda looks original still. the mattes a little slippery though. Has glossy sides that cover up the red though. I usually always have my phones naked cuz i like them slim but the dna has a little give for a case. I never drop my phones but i dropped this one from my pocket face flat on tile with the case and thought the worst because the front screen lip is very very low (which i like) but i got lucky and it didnt shatter, sounded like it did though . I recomend this case for people that like minimal protection to keep thyre phones like new . Also has matte lnside so i feel more comfortable that it wont scratch the phone.

Nexus 6 Pouch

I've been looking into quality pouches for the N6 and so far have found this.
It looks great it just ships from Latvia. Anyone see any good ones from us sellers?
Edit: I bought it and have to say it's one fine pouch. Arrived in about 7 days once shipped. I can post some pics of it with the Naked Tough case from the Play Store as I do not own a device as of yet. Waiting on T-Mobile still.
Keep in mind I did not request any additional modifications to the pouch to support the case. It has a snug fit regardless.
Do you guys think this one for the iPhone 6 Plus will fit?

That's for the iPhone 6 plus - Which WONT fit our N6 as this will be a tight fit for the iPhone 6 Plus from the get go and will get lose over time for a easy fit. But considering that the N6 is a bit taller, wider and thicker. This will not work.
