I am about to get my Tilt 2 and I want to protect it. My first question is: should I get a case and a shield for the screen, or just the GadgetSheilds for my phone?
Secondly, my phone is an American AT&T Tilt 2, what cases are there aside from the Praetorian? I would love to have the Seidio case. If this case won't fit on my phone, are there any that look the same that would?
PS: I did look at the rubberized cases thread, but it kind of confused me. Thank you.
I have the Invisashield full body covering, its tricky to get on exacly right but works great, I also keep the phone in a Monaco Aluminum case there real nice, they come with a removable clip, I have the monaco case on my Tilt Tilt2 Samsung epix and my Microsoft Zune. http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-AT-T-TILT-2...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item5ad5b16354
Go for a silicone case!
Don't get a hard rubberised one get a soft silicone. The simple rule is that a sharper material will scratch a weaker one.
My $2 dollar hard rubberized case became slightly loose and scratched my new $1000 TP2 to high hell. And I am one of the most careful people about these things.

I've had them both, and I would recommend Ghost Armor before Zagg Invisashield. That is unless you like a sticky touch screen, a bumpy "orange peel" finish, and a discolored screen.

I purchased a Monaco Aluminum case and I like the way it looks and feels, but I won't use it. There is no way I'm trusting my $350 phone to that friction clasp. I can just see me wearing the phone on my belt and something catching on the clasp, opening the case and dumping the phone out in a parking lot. The clasp just isn't secure enough for me. Wish I had noticed it before I made the purchase.
Are there any silicon cases? I only know of the Praetorian as far as the ATT Tilt 2 goes.
I received a Clairview screen protector and it is labeled Touch 2 on packaging, Touch 2/Tilt 2 on the receipt, but it definitely doesn't fit right. Anyone else have this problem? Is it just a mistake or do they not make one for the ATT TIlt 2? What's the opinion of Clairview elsewise?
Lastly, what is the best full-body screen protector, do they cover the chrome around the edge, and can you notice they are on at all?
Lots of questions, I know, thanks so much for the input thus far.

Agreed. I had the same style case for the original Tilt, and dumped it out a few times because i was walking and it managed to free itself. I use this one on my Tilt 2, but I don't use the belt clip at all. Just goes straight in the pocket. Besides that, the only thing I can complain about it, is how there really isn't much room to touch on the edges of the screen & the sensor at the top to turn off the screen during a phone call is blocked - but nothing a dremel can't fix!
I bought a bodyglove, nice case, adds a little bulk, but no scratching on the device as others have said.

I concur Bodyglove case it's sturdy and well designed. Like he said it hasn't scratch my device. The back cover makes it a thick phone not as thick as having an extended battery with the cover. The screen has a Case-mate protector film it's really good quality. Both my TP2 and it's case are from US Cellular.
So Poetic has some new cases due to come out on October 30th according to Amazon. They look very nice and are definitely my style of case.
Here they are:
Turtle Skin: http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Shield...869&sr=8-6&keywords=nvidia+shield+tablet+case
Revolution: http://www.amazon.com/Nvidia-Shield...69&sr=8-15&keywords=nvidia+shield+tablet+case
Personally considering the Turtle Skin case as the ability to use your stylus as a kickstand is great. Not sure why the Revolution version has most of the speakers covered. (Unless those spots they cut out are the only areas where sound is coming out?)
What do you guys think? I'll be updating this post with the Turtle Skin case as soon as I get it.
No speaker holes.
I was looking at those the other day and couldn't figure out why the frig they covered up 90% of the speaker ports.
Kind of makes dual forward facing speakers a moot point? Someone in the final approval dept. needs to get off the crack and look at the way it actually works lol.
Poetic is great. Ive had 3 tablets prior to the shield and used poetic cases for them all. These are terrible cases compared to the ones Ive used before. I cant bare to think of how hot the k1 will get in these beasts.

Yeah I was a sucker and paid way too much for the Shield tablet cover, but after using it and playing the k1 optimized games I know why they went with the open back design with minimal contact points. It would be awesome to find a silicone bumper or something to still fit the tablet but a fully covered back on the shield is not a great idea if you actually use it for gaming IMO.
Pre-ordered a revolutions case.
As for the speakers if you play around covering up the grills you'll notice that where poetic have put their holes is actually where the sounds comes out the most.
Has anyone tried the turtle case yet? I had ordered the Revolution back in Oct but was not one of the ones to get the first shipment so I canceled it and went with a flip cover case. However for normal day to day use the flip cover case is kind of annoying and I'd like to switch to an open face case like these.
Just got one of these puppies and want to see the REVOLUTION case in action. Can anyone please post pics? Tia!
Finally got my Poetic case just before christmas. Here are some pictures and a video I made.

I'm thinking about the revolution case myself. Does the built in screen protector affect the stylus performance?

for me it did. I think it might had more to do with the fact that I already had an illumishield cover.. I didn't really care much for the built in screen protector, considering it kept giving that oily look, like in the pics above. Anyways, with both the illumishield and built-in protector, the touch sensors was wonky, especially when using the stylus. And since I liked the non oily look of the illumishield, I just basically hacked away the built-in screen protector. as far as the case though? it's pretty awesome..
Ah ok, i didn't notice that it was the soft type screen protector that does that oily crap cuz i was on mobile when i saw the photos. I also like to provide my own screen protector and just use the frame, thanks.
My poetic case is coming in today. I had the thought of doing the same thing as the other guy. Cutting off the protector of the poetic and installing my own screen protector.
With the built in protector only the stylus works fine. Don't like the weird oily looking effect though and probably will remove it also.
Now I've used it for a while there are things I really don't like about it. The buttons are really hard to press now, I might try to mod it to make it better. The port cover will probably get cut off as it doesn't stay in after being left on charge over night. The stand is a nice feature but poorly done, only one angle option and its not a good one. Would be good to have some sort of incremental angle options and to lock into place.
But the protection the bulky case provides cannot be denied.

That was the dirst thing I did when I got mine. I've never really liked the built in screen protectors, they all seem poor compared to combining the case with a nicer screen protector. Use tempered glass + Otterbox on my M8, and an illumishield + poetic on the shield. Not a huge fan of the buttons, but it's stil the best and basically only choice for a hard case.
just wondering, anyone here has cracked edges problem?
I read it like almost everywhere on the nvidia forum... and ppl there are.. kinda nasty. most of the things discussed there is not constructive...
So I had a mixed experience with the Poetic Revolution case.
tl: dr Poetic need to make a SlimLine range for the Nvidia Shield Tab so it can be oriented in Landscape and Portrait.
I had to shave off the locking lugs that stow the stand so I could easily deploy and stow the stand. I also had to cut into the flap so it would return to the covered position. The material that Poetic chose to use for the rubberized flaps is different to the SlimLine range of cases, and is less flexible.
I also had an issue with the kickstand hinge lugs breaking off and I had to request a new case.
The new case is better than the first one. The stand will deploy much easier now, and the rubberized material *eventually* returns to it's original position. It still doens't close immediately after you have unplugged headphones or the charging cable, but it gets there eventually.

What procedure did you use to get a replacement for broken kickstand? I agree with your experience, pretty much the same issues here. Still like the case but hinge and hard to press buttons.

I just used their web site contact form. If you are in the states, you won't need to pay the postage fee. I had to, because I'm in Australia.
Right on, they asked for Order number & picture of damaged region and my address. The new case has already been shipped no need to return the defective old one either. Thanks for your tip.
So I recently just bought the Sprint Lg G3 and I loved it. I felt very insecure using my phone bare naked and didn't feel comfortable putting it in my pocket in fear of scratching the back or the screen. Within days of having this phone, I have already scratched the back battery plate cover (very minimal though).
So I went ahead and bought the Spigen Slim Armor case along with the iCarez tempered Glass Screen Protector. Both go well with each other.
-Spigen Slim Armor Case: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JQI2LNQ/ref=twister_B00M8RXZ64?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
-iCarez Tempered Glass Screen Protector: http://www.amazon.com/Anti-Scratch-Bubble-free-Fingerprint-Protector-Replacement/dp/B00KGSW734/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1420355354&sr=1-1&keywords=icarez+lg+g3
I have loved both products since I received them. The Spigen armor fits on so well with all the right cutouts (perfect). It doesn't make the phone that fat honestly. The iCarez screen protector is amazing as well. It comes off very easily if you peal the edge with your fingernail which helps when applying the screen. I would highly recommend the iCarez tempered glass screen protector to all G3 owners out there. The quality of the glass is amazing and feels just as amazing as the original screen. It has all the right cutouts and is very easy to install with no problems with air bubbles (but be careful of dirt under the screen).
I'd highly recommend the Spigen Slim Armor to anyone looking for a case.
This is the second phone I have had using a Spigen Slim Armor case with (Samsung GS4 was the first) and I agree with IamFlynn. The case is very nice, great fit, great quality, and it makes the device just slightly fatter than without. It feels like a very expensive case once it is on the phone. As soon as I got the phone, before I left the Sprint store, it was already on. I haven't taken it off much since it feels so good on the phone.

I've had 2 slim armor cases (N5 and this one) and they have both been extremely slippery. So much so that it has actually caused me to drop the phone in times when I normally wouldn't. As for drop protection, I can say this case on my G3 isn't the greatest. It slipped out of my hand once and hit asphalt. The first bounce seemed to do a good amount of protection, but the phone came out of the case and landed separately from the case. I've since gone with a different one with more texture, but this is a slick looking case indeed.
i love this case but i have to agree that it is a little slippery. One thing that really bugs me although i highly doubt that they considered it when designing the case is that i cannot prop it up on something unless the angle is just right because of the hard plastic it just slips. I like to watch netflix when im cooking or what ever and getting this thing to sit upright is chore. But ive had the case since day one and in every other way i love it.

OMG! Me too! haha. My old case for my Epic 4g Touch had a rubber case and allowed me to because of grip but this case just doesn't but I still love it!
I've had the gold case since November and the back gets really scratched up just from being in my pocket.

I'm starting to notice that as well, it stinks but I'm okay with it for now.
I've only had mine since the week before Christmas and mine is all scratched too. Love the case though. Really compliments the phone.
I've had this case for a few months and love it! I've several phones and cases over the years and this is by far my favorite. It forms extremely well to the phone and it isn't too big or bulky.
Per what others have said, mine has a few scratches but that's what cases are for. Just means it's doing it's job LOL

After the comments on here and a typical YouTube research I ordered the Ultra Hybrid case. Looking forward to it. I've had the tempered glass for it and I strongly recommend it to anyone that has a G3
Spigen has been my go to case maker for the last 5 years and once again I was not dissapointed with the quality. The case is a perfect fit for my Huawei P20 Pro and looks stylish. All buttons and ports are easily accessible (there are cutouts for cameras, speakers, USB C port, IR blaster and microphone). The case doesn't add too much bulk and the buttons are easy to press. There is a lip on the front surrounding the display that should protect it from drops face down.Would definitely recommend. The camera on the back doesn't stick out and the phone lies flat on the table.
For 9.99£ it's a bargain imo. Link to Amazon.
I've decided to live dangerously with this phone, I've ordered a KitBag from Amazon and will have no case or screen protector on it, unless a DECENT full coverage one comes along
I got the same thing but unbranded for £3.99 on ebay. literally exactly the same.

Thank you for posting this review. I was about to buy one too but was concerned If any of the camera bump stuck out or was nicely tucked in. Spigen rugged armour is the best phone case I've ever had. incredible shock protection yet doesn't scratch funny enough. They clean up great and look new throughout (or at least mine does).
Damn, just got this case. Really slick, I'm a little worried about the camera it's rather flush but better than nothing haha

I can vouch for the Slim Armor case. Just picked up a P20 Pro yesterday and Spigen was my go-to brand and it's really nice and not super bulky.
The rugged armor is good but the glass screen cover that Spiegen offers is crap! I've had it on the phone for 2 days, just took it out of my pocket and theres a crack right across the screen cover! This is with the Rugged Armor on the phone too, so theres a nice big lip above the screen cover to protect the edges. Nothing else in my pockets either, I'm very careful with my phones.
I have to disagree with the above ref the Spigen screen protector, I have had one on for 3 weeks and am really impressed with it. My phone has been with me everywhere in that time and has taken a couple of drops and knocks and the cover is holding up really well, also it looks and feels far better than the others I have tried. I'm using with the Slim Armor and together it's very well protected
I'd be surprised if the screen protector just magically broke on it's own. Probably just took some minor impact at a fateful angle. Maybe ask Spigen for a warranty and see what happens.
I returned my spiegen tough armour because of the lack of camera protection.
went with this instead... purchased 3 of them(different colors)
great case with camera protection
Dooqi Huawei P20/P20 Pro/P20 Lite Ring Stand Holder Shockproof Rugged Case Cover
I got the Spigen case before I picked up the P20 Pro. Never had an issue with it; I even stuck an iRing to the back of the case so that it gives me some added security if I somehow lose grip of the case.
It's true that the camera hump is close to the plastic spigen back. But it is enough to protect the camera. There is no doubt that it could be better. Spigen have recognised this and brought out a new case. See the spigen website
Anime had experience with Mark Armor Case from Spigen?
I just got my 6T last month for my birthday. Great phone.Used the stock case for a couple for about 3 weeks and decided to get the Spigen Tough Armor. It seems like the case hurts my hand..? Since it's a little wider?Is it just me or is anyone else with the case experiencing this? What other cases can you guys recommend?I'm going to go back to the case the phone came with tonight.
Nope that is the case for this case. Because of the weight it presses down against your finger that naturally rests by the charging port and strains it. I have the case but only use it when I need it.

Spigen Liquid Air is really nice. It's not bulky/heavy and it provides pretty decent protection
can confirm that cases like spigen tough armor can hurt your hand specifically the thumb part due to weight, I remove my case whenever I use it while in bed, I also installed a skin on my 6T to avoid scratching the glass when going naked, I recommend this one from aliexpress:

i second that. I ditched my OEM cases the second i put the Liquid Air on. the only flaw so far is a rough edge on the back where the soft plastic meets hard plastic. it could be a bit more grippy, but the triangle pattern is better than the ones i had on my axon 7s Spigen cases i loved as they were slick af on the back. i have dropped my phone multiple times in that case with a Skinomi and with a Dbrand screen protector. The combos saved my phone. The SPs not so much, but between the case and those, my OP6t is still minty.
Ive the Spigen liquid air. Great case
I went with the poetic case, for 360deg protection, after having a wife proof case on my pixel XL.
I exacto'd off the charging port cover because I didn't like how the cover pressed against the USB cable and caused pressure on the port.
Only downside of the case is that it's not a sealed case like the other, and occasionally I'll take it apart to clean it out. The kickstand predictably broke, but that's to be expected since it's plastic and mounts with a few pins.
mmarcz
I have the OEM nylon case and I have the same issue too. Holding the phone in portrait for a long time hurts my hands. That's why I always take off the case when I'm lying down, but the phone becomes slippery. I'm going to install a skin on this phone, so it's not slippery when naked.
Figured I would chime in on this since I just returned my spigen tough armor.
I liked the case for protection. Had a decent screen side lip and good protection for the camera also.
However, the buttons for me were the worst part. They blend in to the side of the case to where you can't find them in the dark easily at all. The case is bulkier then a slim case but thats to be expected, it didn't bother me that much.
The kickstand was also very weak and doesn't work in portrait. I returned it and got a case that was 1/3 the price and is a little better IMO.
